much, and have since that time used

BATHING IN THE DEAD SEA.
by No Means a Pleasure, According
to One Traveller.

"No sooner has one plunged into
the water than one Is whipped OF
ones feet and goes bobblng helplessly
about like a 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. ones
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 a 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
bather 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 antidote TO this is TO hurry across
as quickly as possible TO the river Jor-
dan and take n second plunge therein.
The soft and muddy waters of that
sacred but dirty stream win effectuAl-
ly remove the salt that has incrusted
the body"

In connection with its withdrawal

the new law which requires that 1875
Of the reserves on Texas policies shall
be invested in securities of that state,
which securities shall be deposited In
the state and subjected to heavy taxa
ton, in addition TO the large tax now
imposed on life insurance premiums,
the Equitable Life Assurance Society
has made public the distribution Of its
assets, at the end OF the second year
OF the new management. Tho Equit-
able now has SI0.95s, 900 invested In
Texas, which is twice as much as the
new law requires, but the manage

additional taxation would be an inius-
tico to It's policyholders in other
states, which impose no such penalty
on the thrift Of their citizens.

more than 800 OF its total reserves

A clergyman speaking on charity held that charity which was not grace ful and clean was bound to fail, bring ing to the donor scorn instead of grati- tude.
 Thus" he once said in a Sunday school address, "a rich landlord while making the round of his tenants cot tages collecting rents met little girl whose beauty much impressed him.
 ''In the shabby front room of the cottage the landlord talked for awhile with the little girl, and as he rose to go an unwonted feeling of kindliness warmed his heart.

 And, smiling and chuckling, he went through pocket after pocket. Finally in his hip pocket he found a pepper mint drop, a white peppermint drop. He dusted the fluff and lint from it and extended it gayly to the little girl.
 "'Here we are,' he cried. I thought we had something. Here is a nice peppermint drop for you. And now he ended, what will you do with it?'

The Paris Walters Trick.

It appeared that one of my country- men, whom I had not noticed in enter ing, had dined at table not far away, and when he received his check he handed the waiter a ten dollar geld piece The waiter put the coin into his mouth and made change for S5 only. The Yankee kicked and swore there was a swindle, but the waiter took the s from his mouth and held it up and said:
 "'See! It is here. It is the coin be gave me. Is it not for him to apolo- gizeT
 Tt looked that way to me, but my countryman knew a thing or two. He grabbed the rascal by the throat and choled his mouth open, and, 10, ten dollar gold piece dropped to the floor. The fellow had the 8 in his mouth to work the trick. and when I got to thinking the thing over I remembered that it had been successfully worked on me a dozen times over."-Chicago News.

The legislature is democratic by a
large majority and will elect as Unit

by primaries in June.
