many eyes. They were u~ndeniably bride

her to do the ordering. She did have some
French. When he magnanimously gave
her a piece of the chicken, which he was
able TO sever without much harming the

sweetly: Dear, l was going 70 give you

SEA WATER FAD.
The use of sea water therapeutics is quite
common in Paris. A small hospital has
been working for some time which devotes
itself exclusively to salt water treatment.
IL is used externally and internally and
recently simultaneous injections have
beer given with. it is alleged, the most
satisfactory results. proving especially
beneficial in cases Of children's complaints
I'M tuberculosis. A proposal was made
at the last meeting Of the city council to
build a pipe line overland from Dieppe TO
Paris for the purpose Of bringing sea water
in sufficient quantities to supply the hospi-
tails. swimming baths and private houses.
DR.. Quinton, a leading avocate Of sea
water as a curative. does not favor Dieppe
or the English Channel as a source of sup
ply. because only a light ground swell is
necessary there TO bring up all organic
deposits from the bottom. His tests Of
Dieppe water show hat IL contains drops
of oily matter and many bacteria which
during the eight TO fifteen DAYS necessary
to bring it to Paris would develop such
bacteria life that it would not be fit TO Use.
He thinks the water must be taken from
the open ocean and suggests the extremity
OF the Cotentin Peninsula. although the
greater distance would increase the ex-
pense. The question of cost. however,
is likely TO prevent a realization OF the
scheme, as il is estimated thai the Dieppe
plan would need 20. 200, 600 francs.
