man. If this nrtlclo, wwcii is meant to no
dollclously light nnd playful, appears to you
to ho fraught with nn underlying vnrlcoso
vein of gloom, do not hastily jvirs it hy, but
remember that It's in tho interest of science,
I hnvo dnlliod with tho luxury of tho Orlont
(ro called). Also remember that I hnvo con
trnctod n (loop, sonorous cold, which will in
all probability fondly nestlo lu my bosom till
my ulster blooms again.
Tho preliminaries of tho Turkish bnth nro
simple. You iay tl nt tho door nnd pass
into tho "cooling room," whero tho mercury
registers 03 (legs. Tho appropriateness of this
tltlo docs not burst ujion you until you nnvo
visited tho inner shrine, whoro tho teniern
turo is Ui near tho boiling point. In tho
"cooling room" you nro privileged to deposit
your vnluables In a safe, I did not avail
myself of this boon, however, for reasons of
a purely prlvnto nature, but passed nt onco
into tho "disrobing room." This room was
not so largo as to npjienr dreary, nor yot no
small ns somo I liavo lodged in on tho I!o wery,
but was about 7x4. Tho furnlturo was simplo
yot chasto, consisting of n chair nnd a brush
and comb long past their prime. Tho comb
was chained to tho wall, but tho brush wns
permitted to roam at will. Hastily divesting
myself of sealskins. Jsegors and other pano
plies of rank, I arranged them in a noat pllo
in tho confer of tho room and placed tho chair
upon them. This simplo precaution I havo
loarnod to practieo when occupying a room
separated from Its fallows by low partitions.
Your noighbor may bondlsclplo of Iznnlc
"Walton, nnd during your sleep or nbsonoo
may tnko n cast over tho partition with hoolc
and line. What could 1k mora embarrassing
than to hnvo ono's trousers thus surrepti
tiously removed! I nm a lover of tho "gcutlo
art" myself, but I nm oyor loath to ho piayoa
for a suckor.
I was now ushered into tho "hot room,"
where a number of gentlemen wcro lolling
about npd ierplrinr nirably nnd fluently,
lkilng of a timid, shrinking nature, I was
somewhat embarrassed on entering n room
tints filled with strnugcrs, nnd tho moro so as
I realized that my costumo was too bizarro
and striking foronoof my willowy projwr
tions. Bo I flung myself with nn affectation
of easy graco ujion a marble divan, but im
mediately nrosa therefrom with a vivid blush
mid a largo blister. I thon sat upon a footh
ing chair until, I camo to a boll, when I roso
up and endeavored to alleviate my sufferings
by restlossly pacing the room. A fow towels
wcro scattered about, and as tho nlmblo
chamois leaps from crag to crag, so loaned I
from towol to towel In my efforts to keep my
feet off tho rod hot floor. Havlug basked La
a day every fourth your was too much, It
followed that tho lioghmlng of tho year
moved onward. From tho tlmo of tho coun
cil of Kiev, In ifcM, when tho vernal uiulnox
fell correctly on tho Ulst of March, Pol
Orvgory found, lu 1WW, that there had been nn
o rr reckoning to tho extent of ten days, nnd
at that tlmo tho vernal ispjluox fell on tho
11th of March. To correct this, hu decreed
that tho 6th of October of Hint year should
bo reckoned as tho 16th, nnd to- keep
tho years right in tho future, tho over
plus being eighteen hours, twenty-sown min
utes and ton seconds In a century, ho ordered
that every ccnturlnl year that could not l
divided by 400 should not Iw bissextile, as It
otherwise would bo, Tho Gregorian calendar
was decreed by l'opo Gregory in 1682 on this
Imsls, and wns readily adopted by Catholic",
though not by Protestant, countries. It did
nut obtain in Great llritatu until 1762, by
which tlmo tho difference- between tho Julian
and Urcgorlun periods amounted to eleven

It is undei'stooil that when n stamp is in
verted on tho right hand upper cornor it
means that tho iiersou written to is to writo
no more. If tho stamp is placed on tho left
hand uppor corner nnd inverted, then tho
writer declares his direction for tho receiver
of the letter. When thu stamp is in thu center
nt tho top, It slgiilllesuu nlllrmntlvu nusuur
to n (ptcdtion, or thu (pientiou, as tho enso
may bo; nnd when it is ul tho bottom, or n
posito this, it is a negative. Should tho
stamp bo on tho right hand corner, nt a right
angle, it nsks tho question If thu receiver of
thu letter loves tho Hinder; whilu iu tho left
hand corner it menus that the Vriter
hates tho other. Tho stamp nt tho
upper corner of thu right cxpresho
u desiru for acquaintance, nnd when
placed on tho lower left hand corner means i
desire for friendship. It Is said that tluwo

proceeded to manipulate me with great tIo
lenco. Ho began upon my chest, upon whloh
ho pressed until ho lifted his foot oil tho floor
and my shoulder blades mado dents in tho

necessary that my respiratory organs should
bo thus flattened, to which ho replied,
with a rich Turkish accent: "Como off,
young fellow, I know my biz," and swooped
down upon my dlgostlvo organs. Manipula
tion consists of disjointing, dismembering,
bruising and rending limb from limb, and
may bo healthful, but it is not popular with
mo. This man said ho was a piunlst also,
and that ho could manipulate and at tho
Kimo timo strengthen his fingers and improvo
his tochniquo, and to illustrate ho struck a
fow resounding chords in tho small of my

According to Popular Solcnce, Sir. T. P.
Wlilto gives, in a communication to tho
Chemical society, a decidedly negative an
swer to tho question whother the ileitis of
canned fruits may not form poisonous salU
with tho tin. Ho reports, ns the result of hli

danger, when takon internally, lu nny form
Hint might nrlso from Iwlug iu contact with

cases of accidental polsoulug wero duo to

that thero need bo no load In tho solder; that
it is only put iu for cheapness' sake, 'nnd Hint

The Kurllest Amnilcuii Artist'.
Tho first artist known to fame in tho United
States was John Watson. This wo learn
from William Duulap's "History of tho Arts
of Design," whero It Is stated that Watson Is
tho first ialntcr of whom mention Is made lu
the annals of American nrt, John Wntsou
came from Scotland to Perth Amloy in 1710,
anil died thero In 1T(W, at the ngo of KI years.
Ho brought over a large number of paintings,
and with thono and uiuiiy that ho executed
himself, hu formed tho first art gallery iu
this country. As ho advanced iu years ho
became extremely iwnurlous and was totally
blind for bomo time before his death. Ho ,
owned two houses at Perth Amlioy, one of 1
which ho used exclusively for his paintings,
occupying thu other as his residence. It Is
stilted as somewhat of a coincidence that this '
house, which stood on thu sito of tho present I
seminary, was subsequently occupied by an
other artist, William Duulap, with whom
originated tho idea of the Nutioual Academy
of Design.
