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

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

The Btnpld Husband of Mated 8 lager.
Catalani'a husband, a handsome French
man, was even more unintellectual than
his wife he waa stupid. 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'
