Thosp who hnve hern fortminto cnnngh to gliile from Itnly's picturesque thorp Into the warm Mite waters of the Medi terranean and float luxuriously In the Baity tea among a jierfect school of hap py bathers will never forgot tt Never! Venice, Naples, Capri, Amulfl! It mnkes one's eyes glisten t fhe very thought of It. To Italy' splendid title, "The Land of Poetry and Song," might also he add ed "The Land of Baths" were it nut that the second name to some fastidious minds would detract from the beauty of the first. The ancient Romans, borrowing as they did all the worthily imitahle cus toms from their Greek and Egyptian neighbors, found the baths especially mited to their luxurious tastes and car ried them to a degree of excellence which had never been attained, making them not only of immense benefit in a sani tary way, but establishing them as a favorite rendezvous for people of cultnre and talent as well as for the poorer class es, who also enjoyed the privilege of their own compartments. Look at the baths of Diocletian, which are estimated to have accommodated no leas than 18, 000 people at one time. And those of Caracallar at Rome. What wonderful rnins of a stfll more wonderful struc ture! In these walls bathing became a science. Cold bnths, tepid baths, hot baths, oil baths, sun bnths every kind of bath! Why simply to visit the place was a rest and recreation. Statuary and paintings lent beauty on nil sides. Music charmed. Orators and poets entertained. What beauty in the remaining walls of the Pompeiinn baths! The frescoes are s bright and beautiful as if they were lone but yesterday, and the marble jarvings and pavements which escaped the fury of the burning mountain have oftened in color almost to an Ivory. Then the baths of Nero. Around the ;oast on the charming picturesque road leading from Pozznoli "to Baite one .lights from .the little carozzolla and ;lambers np to a cave cut in the side of (he mountain, wherein is a spring heated to s high temperature in its subterra nean channels by veins of volcanic life which abound uear Vesuvius. This spot mited well the comfort loving Nero, who made of it a favorite resort ami .ansed the rough stone couches to be placed there, which still remain. One reads little of sea bathing in those lays. Every Roman colony thought to ionstmct its bnths as it thought of rais ing Us temples. But now all Itnly turns its face to Kb natural advantages, and with one accord cries as early as May, "Let us to the sea!" Not all the estab lishments are as convenient and as well jonstrncted as the Lido at Venice and those of Posilipo at Naples, but they are ill on tho same general plan. Every place open to the use of the public is pro vided with a pavilion where people con jugate to discuss the latest topics, or to levour with eager ears the latest gossip, while there is always music, from morn Jig till night, if only one of those harass Jig "organettes" or portable pianos, ffhich grind incessantly and seem al ways to be playing "Santa Lucia" or -'Bella Napoli" and vary sometimes with :he "Trovatore." On either side of the pavilion are the 'camerini," or dressing rooms one side reserved for ladies, the other for gentle men. These "camerini" are the rough set kind of little wooden boxes, carpeted with a mat of braided straw and fur aished with four rude chairs for the four persons each is supposed to accom modate. Then there are the steps lead ng to the water. The fee for the use of Bch room is one franc fifty (or 80 cents), deluding the linen sheets, the price lever varying whether there be one or four persons together. Once in the water and presto! change! til the rosorved etiquette of the Italiun lrawing room vanishes. Tbon and then inly .does liberty exist, and tho pretty ittle signorinas, as well as thehandsomo dgnoras, in the very simplest kind of sathing costume, generally dark bluo tfitk a little white braid, transformed ato veritable water nymphs, swim off ffith all the grace and alacrity of a fish, lever fearing, never tiring, just as if hey had been born to it. And there is to ead 4o romance. Fancy a boat full )f handsome young officers towing a trail f pretty, bright eyed girls to some quiet, jicturesque spot, where all indulge in a jolly little luncheon. It doesn't seem so rery mnch, does it? And yet one recalls liat these same young officers may never lave dared address the young ladiua on and, or if they have had the good tar nne to do so it was only under the watchful eye of the omnipresent chaper m, then we realize what it really ineana. Then there are the quieter places, like lie placid blue waters of Sorreuto, away town under the high walls of rock, there one may float and gaze up at the eautiful villas and fragrant orange (ardens. And Capri, where the wonder ill blue grotto is free to all who can iwim there, while the hurried traveler nevitably falls a victim to the merciless xatmen who shake their hands in one's ace and demand "la tariffa," which lever fails to exceed the fee regularly istablished. Yes, the sea is a blessing to the Italians, rpen to all and appreciated as well by oor as by rich. Indeed one finds him elf woudoring what would become of he lower classes take the Neapolitans, r instance if it were not for this wise revision of nature. They are said to w constitutionally opposed to the use of rater in winter on the grounds that it neans certain death by cold, but in sum ner they fairly live in the sea, and the ittle street urchins frolio about and liva for the pennies of the "forestier!" rithout even the encumbrance of a lathing costume. Chicago Tribune. CURING A NERVOUS CRANK. Treatment Ktnplojrad In lle.torln Wall Man Who Imagined Be Was 111. On the east side lives a physician whose success in the treatment of nervous dis orders line brought to him, rather against his own wishes, considerable practice among a class whom he describes as "nervous cranks." One of these pa tients, a man of large means, had caused no end of trouble to the doctor, who, seeing that the case was purely one of mental idiosyncrasy, was nnwillitig to presrri1e a courso of drugging or other injurious treatment. The man insisted that his nervous system was completely unstrung and that the physician should take his case in hand. "There yon can see how nervous I am," said the patient one day, in the doc tor's office, as he picked np an incandes cent electric light bulb from an adjoin ing table. "Look at that. Seehowtliut carbon coll Inside of the bulb vibrates and trembles from my nervousness!" "Very well," replied the physician, de termined now to deal with the case in another way, "you are more nervous than I supposed, but I think I can fetch you out all right in five or six weeks." An assortment of bogus pills and po tions was given to the patient, and he was placed under a rigid rule for sleep, diet, baths and exercise. His physical health, which had been excellent to be gin with, improved steadily; but hisnerv ous condition, as indicated by the fluc tuations of the incandescent bulb, which he found conveniently at hand every time he visited the doctor's office showed little or no trace of mending. . One day, however, near the end of the fourth week, the patient, upon tulciut; the bulb from its accustomed place and holding it up to the light, was surprised to find that the vibrations of tho carbon were almost nothing. Beaming with new hopefulness, he called the physi cian's attention to the fact The latter was surprised and delighted. Tho pa tient tested himself with the bulb iu his right hand, then changed it to his left and then repeated the operation, always with the same gratifying result. The treatment had done its work. Ho felt like a well man. He was satisfied from the first that those pills would fix him. "He sailed for Europe the other day," remarked the physician, "and as he is to remain abroad for five years I guess there is no danger of his learning how 1 cured him. He was so taken with the idea of testing the condition of his nerv ous system by the vibrations of the car bon in that electric light bulb that I hu mored his fancy. After three or four weeks of careful living, and when he had put hiniBelf into first class physical con dition, I simply changed the bulbs for him. For the ordinary bulb containing a carbon coil I substituted one that I had made with a fine coil of oxidized silver wire closely resembling the other and which was so stiff that it was eapa ble of almost no vibration when the bulb was held in the patient's hand. He took it, saw that the vibrations had ceased and concluded that he was cured. "In some wayi perhaps by accident or when in condition of mental excitement, he had noticed the trembling of the car bon in a bulb when held in the hand, and had instantly made up his mind that he was suffering from nervous disorder. Ho insisted upon using the same means in testing his progress toward recovery that had first persuaded him that he was ill, and I was compelled to acquiesce and treat him from that basis. He bad evidently had littlo experience with these bulbs. Ordinary tests and observation would have shown him that no man, however sound, can hold an incandescent bulb in his unsupported hand so steadily that the carbon inside of it will not vi bratedNew York Herald. Street On Run bj Matnral Gaa. The cars are of the ordinary size, bat are constructed entirely of natural gas Si pes, ranging in size from six inches own. These hollow tubes are neatly carved, so that to the average observer the fact that they are built of such ma terial is not noticed. These pipe are heavily charged with gas, and with the aid of a boiler and the engines at work beneath the floor it is said a run of 90 miles can be made without refilling the tubes. A speed can be obtained equal to that of cars run by the electric method. It said that one of the latter will cost $0,000 for its construction, while a gas car can be made for $2,000. Either artificial or natural gas can be used as the propelling power. It is fur ther asserted by its inventor that to operate it a day of 13 hours will cost but $1.14, while, the expense of running an electric- car for the same period will be $6.

Once, having found the pitch of the piano too high, she said after the rehearsal to her husband: "The piano is too high. Will you see that it is made lower before the eon cert?" When the evening came, Catalan! was annoyed to find that the piano had not been altered. Her husband sent for the carpenter, who declared that he had awed off two inches from each leg, a he had been ordered to do. "Surely it can't be too high now, my dear!" said the stupid husband soothingly. Youth' Companion. The City and tha Country Dud.
