BATHS A MONTH LONG.
Patients at Japanese Health Resort
 Live In the Water.

Live m the water
 The Japanese are fond of bathing in extremely hot water. They are, in fact. the most cleanly, according to our western notion, of any of the east ern peoples. Their bath is taken as frequently as twice a day, often at a tempera ture of about no degrees F., says the Chicago News.
 An Cdd description has been given of the amphibiOus lives, half in water and half cut like frogs, led by the wis itors at a health resort where there are warm mineral springs in the heart of the Japanese mountains. Patients at this sanitarium often remain in the water for month at time. At night they put a stone on their laps to keep them from floating downstream. And if it should be objected that this is an unhealthy method of conducting a health resort reference has only to be made to the caretaker of the estab- lishment, hearty old man over eighty years of age, who frequently remains in the bath all winter, directing the business of the place from a station waist deep in the warm, flowing water
