BIRTHPLACE OF MASSAGE.

queer Nubia, Where the Inhabitants
Never Take a Bath.
The masseur had just returned from
Nubia, the birthplace of massage.
81 didn't learn as much as expected
to-" he said, but l got hold of two
movements that will eradicate wrin-
kles and remove fat in an incredible
way.
'Nubin is a queer place. They have
so little water there that they never
take baths. The 'masseh,' or kneadlng,
whence our word massage is the
baths substitute. You strip, lie down
and are covered from head to foot with
a cream made of mutton fat, musk,
sandalwood powder and certain plant
Juices. Then you are kneaded, you
are massaged. l studied the Nubian
movements thoroughly and learned, as
say, good things.
"The Nubians are a handsome and
queer race. They hunt elephants with
the sword. A hunter steals upon doz-
ing elephant and slashes him in the
Dack OF lue reg ten luCHSS dDONS lhC
hoof. This cut sewers the artery, and
the elephant bleeds to death.
"They cook meat on hot stones
First they build fire, then they put
big stones on it, and when the stones
are hot enough they clean them OF
ashes and embers carefully and throw
on the meat This is a better way Of
cooking than the broil, for it preserves
all the meat juices. But greenhorns
don't know what kind of stones to use
Most kinds heated explode.
The Nubians are shapely and hand
some. They never wrinkle, they neve
! get fat, their skins are smooth anC
fine They impute these graces to tn
'masseh'-the massage-that they tax
regularly three or four times a week
Every masseur ought to go to Nubi
if he wants to learn his business thor
oughly."

Tb. Rest Guide to heading.

OF all the gifts an older brother or
sister can confer upon a younger child
none can compare with the taste for
good reading. 1t is an easy matter for
the elder to bring the right book to the
little reader at the right time, and no
lasting benefit can be given with so
little effort. See that you are able to
act as a wise guide when the little
brothers or sisters hand is put so con-
fidlngly in yours.-St. Nicholas.

1 often say of Emerson that the per-

heart and soul Of the man. present in
all he writes, thinks, does, hopes-goes
far toward justifying the whole lit

and bad; the entire system. You see
