Not all kinds of mud are efficacious, and it is not the mud itself which is valuable, but its constituents, that used in the baths being the deposit of the mineral springs, especially the sulphur springs. Allied to the peat and mud-baths are sand-baths, which are popular with the ancients, and are administered now, as in old Rome, to promote the elimination of poisonous matter from the body.
The patient is buried in sand heated to a temperature of from to ', for about an hour, and the perspiration produced iu this way is so copious that his weight will be reduced as much as two pounds in that time. Earth-baths are said to be valuable for their absorbent effect in withdrawing diseases through the pores, and a weird story of an experiment with them is told by a Western poet.

A party of adventurers crossing the mountains had among them two men who were stricken down with scurvy. All the simple remedies of the camp had been exhausted in vain, when an old miner bethought himself of the earth-bath. The sufferers were quite willing to try it, and at night they were buried up to the neck in holes which had been dug where the soil was soft, some distance outside the camp. Their companions returned to their tents ; they themselves soon fell asleep. When the party came in the morning to see how the earth-bath had affected the invalids, they were filled with horror ; the buried men had been visited by wolves during the night, and their heads had been eaten off.
As this grotesque reminiscence of camplife is given by a very imaginative person, however, we advise the reader to take it with a grain of salt. Pine-needle baths are common in Germany. The needles are brewed into a greenish extract, and about two ounces of the fluid are mixed with enough warm water to make a bath. The immersion in this is not at all unpleasant ; a strong aromatic scent rises from the water, and the effect of the bath is said to be very beneficial in cases of chronic rheumatism and of neuralgia. Formerly it was believed that the longer a patient remained in the various baths, the more rapid his cure would be, and the corrosion of his skin was taken to be a sign of recovery; but it is now understood that excess in this is as injurious as in other things.
Nevertheless, at some of the mineral water baths it is still the custom to remain in the water several hours at a time. The patients, both men and women, all dressed in long robes, immerse themselves during the whole forenoon and afternoon, beguiling themselves with conversation and reading. At Leukerbad, in Switzerland, the scene in the baths is very curious.
The basins are filled with bathers of both sexes, who not only chat among themselves, but by means of little floating tables are enabled during their immersion to play games of chess, eat, drink, and read. TM ers look like some aquatic performing animals, their friends in ordinary dress gather in the gallery, and chat with them.
In New Zealand there is a bath which leaves a coating of silica, like enamel, and which has been called after the notorious Madame Rachel, who pretended to make people " beautiful forever. Perhaps the pleasantest of all the strange cases which we have mentioned is the grape cure at Meran. Meran is a pretty village in the Tyrol. Grapes of the richest bloom and the most delicious flavor are to be seen whenever there is enough soil for the vine ; they hang in purple bunches over all the hills, in every garden, round every cottage porch. Carts full of them come into town every morning, and they lie heaped on stalls at the street corners.
The patients begin by eating one or two pounds a day, dividing the quantity into three portions, one taken an hour before breakfast, the next before dinner, and the next before supper. The quantity is increased by degrees, until no difficulty is experienced in consuming six or seven pounds a day.
Gripe diet, says Dr.
Edward, Gutman, is an excellent remedy in cases of enlargement of the liver, congestions of the brain produced by mental labor or excitement, and consumption. It is a remedy which our readers would swallow without any repugnance. But the air of Meran is pure, and the patients live out-of-doors. Very likely the pure air and the sunshine, have as much to do with the cures effected as the grapes have, for they are the greatest of medicines.
With these evil agencies working against a man, some slight exposure brings on an attack of illness, and the whole body being weakened, gives way in a very short time. The sudden illness and speedy demise baffle medical skill ; the stricken family and shocked friends are told that overwork was the oause of death, and the press deplores the tendency of our civilization to kill people by overwork, when the real cause of ninetenths of these deaths is as outlined above. The Manufacturer and Builder. In nine out of ten cases of this kind, the true cause of death will be found to be something besides overwork.
We all know professional and business men who work harder than they ought, and yet by taking good care of themselves in the way of diet, exercise, etc. Those who die from " overwork" generally use liquors and tobacco without moderation, keep late hours, and indulge in hazardous speculations outside of their legitimate business. Late hours, Live for something.

Thousands of men breathe, move, and live, pass off the stage of life, and are heard of no more. Why None are blessed by them; none can point to them as the means of their redemption; not a line they wrote, not a word they spoke could be recalled, and so they perished; their light went out in darkness, and they were not remembered more than the insects of yesterday.
Will you thus live and die 0 man, live for something. Do good, and leave behind you a monument of virtue that the storms of time can -never destroy. Write your name by kindness, love, and mercy on thousands you come in contact with year by year, and you will never be forgotten. The following is told of a green son of the Evergreen Isle.

Conducted by MRS. LET'S oftener talk of noble deeds, And rarer of the bad ones, And sing about our happy days, And not about the sad ones. We were not made to fret and sigh, And when grief sleeps, to wake it; Bright Happiness is standing by This life is what we make it. Let's find the sunny side of men, Or be believers in it ; A light there is in every soul That takes the pains to win it. Oh 1 there's a slumbering good in all, And we perchance may wake it; Our hands contain the magic wand This life is what we make it.
Then here's to those whose loving hearts Shed light and joy about them Thanks be to them for countless gems We ne'er had known without them. Oh I this should be a happy world To all who may partake it; The fault's our own if it is not This life is what we make it. BY MRS. FROM earliest antiquity, man has sought to perpetuate the memory of the dead by some kind of lasting monument.

Among the ancient nations, some form of structural tomb was very commonly provided for this purpose. Believing, as many of them did, that the spirits of the dead lived a kind of shadowy life, hovering about the tomb in which they were buried, and depending for their well-being entirely upon the honors bestowed upon them by their descendants, they spared no pains to make these last habitations as enduring as possible. Far more labor and greater expense was often bestowed upon the construction of the abode for the dead than upon the dwellings of the living. Their houses they called inns, because men dwelt there but a brief period ; their tombs they termed everlasting mansions, because the dead lived there forever.
The Greeks and Romans attached the greatest importance to the burial of the dead or.

The rites of burial and burning seem to have both been used by the early Romans. With the latter method the body was reduced to ashes. These were quenched with wine, collected by the relatives of the departed, and finally deposited in an urn made of clay, glass, marble, bronze, or silver, according to the standing of the deceased. The Roman tombs usually consisted of a vault, in which were placed the urns or the sarcophagi, as the case might be, with a chamber above adorned with statues or effigies of the dead, and where all requisite ceremonies for the honor of the departed were held.
They varied in size according to the wealth and distinction of the deceased, many of them being large and superbly adorned, both within and without, with statuary, vases, and other works of art. If the family of the deceased was large, a patrimonial tomb was usually provided. The laws of ancient Rome provided that no dead should be burned or buried within the city ; hence nearly all their tombs were constructed outside the walls. The gradual extension of the city limits has included some of the older tombs, so that to-day one occasionally sees in Rome a strange commingling of ancient monumental structures and modern architecture.
Most of the tombs, however, were erected near some road leading from the city out across the broad Campagna that surrounds it.
