FROM
'THE MODERN GULL
IVER." From the X. T. Timet.
And o. after I had dried
myself somewhat, and collected the re
mainder of my strength, I crawled rather
weakly and wearily np from the bench
to the top of the blutf. On one side was
the cruel sea, nd just below me were
the fhijrffiecta of the wreck of oar stood
ship, and I sobbed as I thought of the
gallant men who had gone down in her
and only I, the nnwortbiest remained.
Before me stretched a plain of sandy,
barren country, covered with scant bush
es and dwarf trees, and beyond these
were low, wooded hiila. Was there s
human being in this vast solitude ? There
was nothing for me to do bat to travel
inland as soon and as rapidly as possible,
before my body gave oat completely from
exhaustion, and see if I could find living
souls to succor me, or, failing, to die
alone in the wilderness.
For hoars it seemed days I trudged
slowly on through the thick, sharp un
derbrush. Gradually the character of
the country changed ; grass began to
spring under my feet, the bushes be
came trees, and I was still in the midst
of a majes'ic, primeval foresL Still, I
saw no signs of human footetejis.
Dut suddenly I thought it was an an
gel I heard a girl's sweet voice singing
far off toward the east from me ; I p'un.?
ed madly in that direction ; the maiden,
too was coming toward me, although sht
was evidently not yet aware of my pres
ence. Soon I saw her coming along far
away, up a sort of avenue in the trees.
She might have been, for all her dress or
fai showed, a New England school girl.
Was there, then, an English colony in
this far orf Atlantic Isle ? It might have
been my previous loneliness, but it seem
ed to me she was the fairest being of
God s making I had ever seen. She was
about eighteen, with Fight hair and eyes,
and dancing along in her girlish inno
cence, she was a picture out of heaven to
me, a heartsick mariner.
But one little peculiarity about her I
forgot ta mention, thou;;h it is hardly
worth while. She was carrying her head
under her arm.
When she saw me she r.ime fearlessly
toward me. I asked tier if she would di
rect me on my way. As I accosted her,
she calmly picked up her head, pat it on
her shoulders, and in the sweetest voice
imaginable answered that the would be
most bappy to do so.
We waiked along, chatting gaily. I al
ready felt all my old strength coming
back to me in the sunshine of her yoang
presence. Bat after I had a-ked and an
swered a number of questions my inborn
curioisity could not prevent my inquiring
in regard to her slight cranial idiosyncra
cy, as I politely termed it In other
words, what did she mean by taking her
heal off?
" Why, sir," said she, " what eountry
do you come from, or ia what distant
part of the world do yon live, that yoa
are so ignorant ? Do you not know that
yoa are ia that far-famed land falsely
calied the " Land of the Fountain of Per
petual Youth," and are yoa not aware
that a drink of oar famous waters makes
oar members independent of each other,
so that we can deUtch them at will ?
Just now, for example, I took my head
off to keep it cooL"
But what would yoa do if yoa should
tow your head, as young ladies are very
often said to do " said I. This was s
joke.
"Oh, no, sir:" said she. We have
learned not to be so foolish as that, espe
cially if any young men are likely to be
aroand to find them. Bat think how
useful this wonderful power is. Suppose
I want to pick an apple from the top of
this tree. I could never climb it, and the
girls of our country would not be so
weak as to ask any man to do it for us,
so all I have to do is to stretch out my
hand like this," and she slowly lited
her am like a derrick until it was at
least fifteen feet long, and picking a fine
fall pippin, presented it to me.
" Then," she continued, " if I want to
seethe surrounding country, instead of
climbing some distant mountain. I can
jast raise my head a trifle, like this,' and
up went her head like s telegraph pote
with an orange on top of it, until she
was at least three rod in height
Coming down handsomely, as the ex
pression is, she remarked, breathlessly,
How is that for high?"
I tola her 1 had beard of people hold
ing their noses up in the air, but I bad
never before seen any one so toplofty ss
she.
We can a'.so detatch oar members if
necessary," said she. " Let me show
yoa," and in an instant there flewjia the
sir a confused vision "af arms, legs, head,
shoulders, etc., until she looked like a
circus rider caught in a cyclone). I had
heard of folks fly ing all to pieces in an
ger : bat I had never seen anything like
it I asked her if it was not rather ex
hausting to her to throw herself aroand
so. She said it was a very popular form
of exercise. I told her this might do for
exercise once ia a hi!, bat I preferred
J to see people more collected.
i " Eat," said she, " this is rather hard
set

on the little boys, for when their moth
ers wish to keep them heme from play,
all they have to da is to take off one of
their legs and lock it cp, and then the
Ud has to stay at hotne.tor e!?e go out
one-legged."
She said that wives found this was s
good way t keep drinking husbands at
home rights. When a person had a dis
ease in one member, all he had to do was
to jast shed it for time and leave it with
the doctor and go about bis business with
the rest of his constituency, as ustui.
" For instance," she said, " yoa can have
an incision made in your scalp, and have
your brains taken out and cleaned juet as
weil as your watch, and quite as cheaply
Then yoa can go to work the same day
as usual and never miss them." That was
a rather equivocal remark, but I hoped
she didn't mean anything by it, and so I
simply told her that I didu'l think it
worth while ; I never used mine enough
to make it pay.
On the way I took a drink at the won
derful spring, which was inclosed in an
elegant building of stone and connected
hy pipes with ail the surrounding villa
ges. I postponed a trial of the marvel
ous effects of the water. To tell the
truth, T was a little afraid to " let myself
loose."
It occurred to me to ask how they
could punish criminals, " for their dif
ferent parts would escape one by one."
" Well," she answered, " I believe they
did have a good deal of trouble that way.
They used to box up the parts separately
and ship them to different quarters of the
world, and then let them tind their way
together again as beat they could. The
chances were that the man never would
come to himself, if I may ay so, enough
to ever be of muoh uie to hiuwelf, or of
much damage to anybody else. But after
awhile people got tired of receiving anon
ymous express packages sent to them
containing foreign and lonely vital or
gans which were withoat Lome or moth
er. Xow they have aboiL-hed all crimes
by making them all punishable by
death."
Bat how can yoa kill anybody T I
asked.
We barn the parts separately," the
maien answered.
I shuddered.
" Bat doesn't any one ever die V I
asked, feeling that the subject was be
yond me.
" Very few d j," SAid ehe. "When we
find that w are agin?, we gradually ex
change ourselves off with nimtlioiy
It isn't considered good form to do it
None but the poor die those who can
not afford to pay the difference of an ex
change."
u Do I understand, then," said I. " that
when yoa find yoarself growing old yoa
look for somebody who is younger than
yoa, bat poorer, and pay him it eell his
yoang and healthy members and take in
exchang eyocr old and decrepit ones?"
That 13 oar syslem. The rich charge
every year to keep np with the fashion.
The poor are hung op in the pawnshops
a est of the time."
I saw one of these pawnshops myself,
and as we were going by I stepped in and
got my lame back, with which I had so
much trouble, exchanged for a second
hand one, only siithtly damaged, w ar
ranted to stay without hitching. I: had
a patent adjustable loop on top, which
saved baying and losing collar but
tons.
I wonder if yoa have considered the
miny advantages of this system of ex
change ? Of coarse yoa are still thinking :
" But bow it grinds dowu the poor!"
Very true ; but not more than does our
American system. And strangely enosgh,
they both work in about the same way.
Yoa think it unjust that the poor of this
far-off land shoald have ail the sickness
and old age, while the rich have all the
yoath and beauty. But I tell you, friends.
as I have walked on Fifth avenue in New
York and seen the carefjlly nurtured
and splendidly developed children of the
rich, and then, as I have wa'ked with
the children of the poor", wbo work in the
sweat shops and live in foul hles and
hovels, I have said to myse! this is no
fkiry tale or parable, but i: was indeed
become true that the poor sell their flesh
and bone that the rich may become beau
tiful and strong.
But I will not moralize. I was going
to tell yoa what a nice plan this was.
The well-tolo never grow old. This
beautiful younir lady with whom I was
talking, told me withoat a blush that she
was 247 years old on her !at birthday.
Of coarse she has been made over a ood
many times. Ia this remarkable land
loving wives tease their hatbands, net
for diamond rings and sealskin clonks,
but for a now pair of eyebrows, new dim
pled chin, or some white tapering fingers.
And I am to'.d that in the highest cir
cles the promise to " love, honor and
obey," has become a pledge to love, hon
or, and beautify the bride, so that in this
country it a.i depends on the husband
whether the wife keeps your.g or not
Isn't that true in America, too ?
I was much interested in the village
through whkh we were talking. Per
haps what most attracted my attention
was the manufactories, They have no
steam power. What is more natural
than ia this land; where the human body
is so wonderfully developed, they should
turn it to account And this they do in
many ingenious ways. In one large fac
tory which I entered the whole motive
power was furnished by countless pairs
of human arms turning the wheels, and
oftentimes the owner of a p-ir of arms
wooid rent one of them by the day, and
leave it and go home to do as he pleased
with the other. This saved confinement
in the close air of the factories and ena
bled the men to earn a doable day's pay.
Ia America, yoa know, we often speak of
hiring hands. Here it was literally
done. That was all ony one ccald do.
They didatdegrade men by ca'lisgthem
hand."
A still more ingenious way oftiin5
power that with us is entirely wasted I
saw in mother shop. Here young girls
were working. With their fingers they
were doing all kin-Is of fancy work for
themselves, bat they were also chewing
gum, and their jaws were so attached to
machinery that the motive power fur
nished was turning ponderous wteels
and running a great factory.
But my whole study of thee interest
ing phenomena was interrupted by an
occurrence tr which I could never ste
that I was to blame, W were walking
in the fields, this young woman wbo bad
been to kindly showing ei the way and
myself, when suddenly she knelt at my
feet and began as follows : Ob, un
known stranger, yoa are my destiny. I
have loved you ever since I have known
you. Will yoa be mine?
I waa souiewcat surprised for this was
s little out of my line. I had been bold
enough to "beau" a yoang lady home
from prayer meeting once or twice, and
I hal once even cut out a c rues -eyed fel
low who wore scarlet mittens, but I had
never come within several furlongs of
popping the question, to say nothing of
having it popped to me. Bat here was
the young girl kneeling before me, and I
mast say she looked very pretty, with
her upturned, pleading eyes. Did this
people enjoy a perpetual leap year as well
as perpetual youth ? How coa'd I know
that this was her first and only love?
A damsel of two hundred and forty odd
summers had time to have experiences
withoat n'taiber to which I was a perfect
stranger. I had no fault to fiud with her
ae, but she h3d altogether too much ex
perience for me. I couldn't let my wife
know more than I did. Then this strange
country, with its qceer customs hew
did I know but what she would be swap
ping me off some day. as she did ber face
and eyebrows, when she got tired of me ?
No, said I to myself, give me a littie
brown-eyed girl I know np in New Eng
land and a blizzard from October till
June if I can only get out of this scrape.
But the young woman was waiting
and I never keep youn women waiting.
"Xay.Ciir creature," I said sally, ' it
cannot be. You are too elastic I fear
in your maae-up. toil wouiu not oe
domestic enocgh. I couldn't keep yoa

woul la't know where to find yoa on
living questions. You have so much self
control, and yet you are not concentrit

Then, in the strength of her maidenly
dignity she spoke: "Young man, you
shall be mice, even despite your will."
Aud she stretched oat her arms to em
brace me. I Sed ; but as I turned to run
those dreadful arms lengthened again,
Lke jjinted fish poles, her legs grew as
loc j as ostrich's ; and she pursued me
witn the syeed of the wind. At leairth I
fell into her reaiorseless cintches, breath
less, gave one last despairing yell, and, j
as is unusual in stories of this character

in the little town, a womaa a'so, of sharp

make her first call at the time taost
auspicious for observations.
The young mistress had her head tied
np in a big cloth; she wore a dressing

hand she held a wisk brush.
"Is Mrs. Smith at home?" asked the
dainty lady, card in hand.
Now the new corner had been the best

"No, mem," she said in the sweetest

And the batfied society leader went

The Petrified Forest of Arizona.
From the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad
it ia not hard to reach one of the greatest
of natural carioTrlties the petrified forest
ofAriz ina. Much the nearest point is
the little station of Billings, but there
are the scantiest accommodations for the
trav eler. Only a mile south of the track
at that point, one may see a iow, dark
ridge, marked by a single ccttonwood
tree, Waikintf thither tover a valley so
alive with jack-rabbits thai there is some
excuse for the cow-boy declaration that
"yoa ' can walk clear across oa their

of square miles. Cnless yoa are more

never saw from any other woodpile.
What do yoa think of chips from trees
that are red moes-aate. and amethyst,

that caver the ground for miles here,
around the huge prostrate trunks some

broke a specimen from the heart of a
tree there, years ago, which had around
the stone pith a remarkable amy of

of the specimen which ia not so large
as my hand is a beautiful mass of crys

other, an equally beautiful array of
smoky topaa crystals. One can get also
magnificent crods-sections of a whole
trunk, so thin as to be portable, and
showing every vein aai "year-ring,"

To Bathe or Not to Bathe?
"No practice, however long establish
ed," says the London Lao-f, "has ever
been allowed a permanent right to re
spect" Probably this remark is a little
too sweeping. One can think of several
practices that are of aniverral observaro-e
which have obtained si ace the
flood.
These practices grow out of brsman
rieeessities, and are, perhaps, the except
ions which prove the role, At any rate
the saying of the Laivtt is smart enough
and true enough to be striking. It grew
oat of a criticism of the cu'.ity of daily
bothin.
It is the general opinion that it is a
good thing to bathe often. This belief,
however, is more a matter of opinion
than of practice. The larye majority of
men and women, we are sntlvied, do net
thoroughly wash themselves from top to
toe once a month. From childhood to
old aje some people dread the applica
tion cf soap and water with a sort of
feline disrelish which is incomprehensi
ble to persons disposed to cleanliness.
A noted medical practitioner once told
the writer that there was no need of
bathing. "Voa miitht as well grease
yonrself all over, suid he. " Look at the
noble Comanche. Where will yoa find
a more lithe and lusty .pecimea of aile
muscular manhood? fie never bathes.
He hates the wit r with as keea
an antipathy as does a mad dog. Take
my advice, younj man. Imitate the
Comanche. What he knows he knows
by experience, jast as a bear knows that

Against the good doctor and his little
Indians we can set op a more ancient
and authentic system of hygiene. Since
the time when it was commanded to
Moses, -"Thoashalt brie; Aaroa and his
sons unto the door of the taoercacle ot"
the congregation and wash them with
water," the authority for ablution has
been indisputable and the sanitary value
of it admitted.
Eat there may be too much of a ?1
thin. Hot baths bring off the dirt and
scarf skin ; and if too frequently index
ed they lead Xi exhaustion. A person
with a cardiac ailment, or troubled with
nervous depression, should Lave a care
in takir: hot baths. Cold t.atl.iag is
also nnsu.ted to eni'eebued belies or per
sons with chronic visceiral ailments. But
there w wonderful virtue in the cold
bath for robust men and women. A cold
plunge, with vigorocs rubbing afterward,
js a better nerve tonic than ran be bocs-ht

There is a medium temperature for a
bath, teiiher hot nor eolJ, which can
