The very latest fad Of the smart Pari-
sienne is the sand bath. which she finds
invigorating and beautifying. few
bushels OF fine sea sand is brought to
her room and slightly warmed before
being spread out on a wide sheet. An
energetic maid rubs her body all over
with sand paper. turning her attention
particularly to knees and elbows, which
easily become roughened. After this
process soft rich cream is massaged into
the skin.
Then the bather stands in the middle OF
the sheet and taking up handfuls Of the
sand she r,lbs it over her body till she is
glowing with the friction. Then she re-
clines at fun length on the sheet. the ends
OF which are folded over her. and rests
several moments before rolling over and
over 30 as to become completely inn
mersed in the sand.
Following this comes the hardest proc
ess Of the sand bath. 1t is called the blow
bath and corresponds somewhat to the
shower of Turkish bath. From a sort
OF fan shaped blower sand is whiried out
briskly so as to strike the body as forcibly
as the bather can stand il. The effect
Is said to be wonderfully stimulating. and
the sting is not unlike that produced by
electricity The sand brushes OF the
body easily and simply. The feeling OF
cleanliness and freshness following the
bath is declared to excel the after effects
Of any water bath.
King Edward has been annoyed this
year at Marienbad by the crowds OF people
who have followed him about to stare at
him and IL possible TO touch him, all this
notwithstanding his special request that
he should be quite unnotioed while taking
his cure. At the Cafe Bellevue the King
took coffee after attending a Wagner
concert, and at all the tables about him
gathered people deeply interested in
watching a royal parsonage eat and drink
When he left, one man rushed to his de-
serted table and swallowed the remains
Of the coffee in the cup, while others
battled for bits Of bread. spoons and
china, for which they were willing to pay
high prices.
The King laughed heartily when this
story was told tn him. but he did not
laugh when a few days ago some German
matrons tried to touch his overcoat in

annoyance over these matters has been
counterbalanced by the news he has

LONDON. Sept l.--Methuselah loses
his famous record. for his 900 reputed
years are whitfield down TO 7sz." Thus
says the Jevish World in discussion of
Jewish characteristics.
There has always existed a certain
amount of doubt even among believers
in the literal truth Of the Bibie concerning
the great age to which the Jewish patri-
archs are recorded as having lived. Some
Of tho theories evolved to reduce the
Biblical records OF this kind to some
thing near the allotted span OF man are
dealt with in the article.
II is surmised. the Jewish World says,
that in the earliest times the month, the
period Of a moon cycle, was called n year.
Thus Adams $50 years Of life. calculating
a year at 2s1s days, the length OF lunar
month, works out to 751< years. After the
month year there came five month year,
the limit of five being derived from the
fingers on one hand. IL being remembered
that primitive people always used the
fingers for counting purposes. Then came
the twelve month year.
Excuse for this rearrangement Is found
in the Psalmist's limit Of life Of three scoAe
and ten years. and it is maintained that
between the times OF Noah and David
no such extraordinary change could have
taken place as to reduce the life OF man
by eleven -twelfths. On the FIVE month
year basis Abraham's IT'S years work out
ut u and Isaac's $50 at "a.
Perhaps. too, there irtervened a six
month year. discovered by Jacob while
Watching Iaban's focks. Thus Jacobs
lat years work out at about Ts. The
twelve month year began with the Egyp-
tians, who saw that a complete period
