BATHING IN THE DEAD SEA.
BY No Means a Pleasure, Accord nQ
to One Traveller.

mo sooner has one plunged into
the water than one IS whipped of
ones feet and goes bobb!ng helplessly
about like wretched cork" says Rev
Haskell Smith Of bathing In the Dead
sea, In the effort to regain ones
footing and TO get back to shore, one
feet and shins are barked by the
Jagged stones and pebbles, and when
at length one does emerge from its
treacherous bosom, with the lower
limbs bleeding and torn, one becomes
aware Of horrible tingling and burn
Ing sensation in eyes, ears, nostrils,
mouth and almost every pore OF the
skin, from the brine and bitumen
which have penetrated everywhere.
Unless great care is taken the
bathev in the Dead sea is liable to an
eruption, which breaks out all over
his body and which is commonly
known as the Dead sea rash The
best aLidote to this is to hurry across
as quickly as possible to the river Jor-
dan and take second plunge therein.
The soft and muddy waters of that
sacred but dirty stream will effectual-
ly remove the salt that has incrusted
the body"

New in Wall Paper.

A new design in fancy wall paper
patterns comes from Kansas City;
also a way to utilize cancelled checks
A firm has had all its offices papered
with old checks, placed neatly edge
to edge. The face figures of the
checks vary from $4,000 to $1,000,
and the total for one room is $4,000
900. AS silt moulding runs around
the edges Of each check-panel, the
general effect is rather pleasing.

The same cleverness which makes the

Fashion plays very strong part In

slight, youthful figure, is no reason that
1t will look well on the short, broad fig

added height and better proportions.
Nothing Is good style If il Is not becom-

Loose coats are very often more becoming
than tight fitting models, and both styles
should be tried before making a choice.

to steal time for, and one or two even
