sArHINo IN THE DEAD SEA.
By No Means Z Pleasure, According
10 One Traveller.

sNo sooner has one plunged into
the water than one is whipped OF
ones feet and goes bobbing helplessly
about like wretched cork" says Rev.
Haskett 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 stores and pebbles. and when
at length ole 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
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 a second plunge therein.
The soft and muddy waters Of that
eacred but dirty stream will effectual-
ly remove the falt that has incrusted
the body"

A Curtain Effect.

A pretty way to arrange bedroom
window curtains 10 this: The upper
sash is hung with a dainty fowered
muslin, and the lower with fllmy
madras. Both are simple sash cur
tains and thus will be easily launder-
ed. The colored curtain Is protected
from the light by the shade, which
Is usually drawn to the middle Of
the window. For this reason the
colored curtain will not be liable to
fade.
The colored curtain is much pret-
tier If ruffled with white. This
scheme gives a charming touch Of
color at the windows, but admits Of
the use of the sash curtain as a
screen for the lower part of the win,
