According to the same authority, this is by no rieans an isolated case. Like mnost of the other large eities. Chicago bas an ordinance against pool roonis and oithlir rnzlambling r.sorts. It may ie well to xplain tihat a pool room is not a placo where the luno cent ganie of thei cue and halls is play ed. but one where "pools," or bets, are made on horse races. The Cook coun ty poolroonis have had to lie very low for some time, so one of the best known operators has announced his disgust at thie waty things are going and has betaken bliniself and his gam bling paraphlernalia neacross the line of Cook county into Will county, just on the south. Near Richton, which is right on the county line, has been set up a big, barnlike structure whichl is the Mecca of Chicago gamblers and which, its owner says, is to be the Monte Carlo of America. The building stands in a cornfleld and is right on the tracks of the Illi nols Central railroad, so that the sports suffer little inconvenience in getting where they can get rid of their money. It stands on a hill which commands a view of the aurrounding country. This presumably is to detect the ap proach of a shertif's posse or a lynch Ing party, in case Will county dec'ldes «mer CaBU) la war.

But the promoters of the enterprise say that they have no tear of such an nu fortunate accident, snce no farmers or residents of the adjolning districts vM be alowed to enter and make bets This gambllng Inatitutlon is for the exclusive beneflt (?) of Cbicacgoas. abe big poolroom is murrounded by a stock4de, and entrance is galned ÜhioMgb a well guarded gate. Tbhe een ti~els know, probably througb long and sharp experience, the face~ of many 0oics of the law, and all smpected .peren.w telve the cold shoulder. Amoug the auets of the gambler who V~a the place are a number of Great M~uue dogs, and after the departure .f the gamblers for the city these brmtes are turned loose. The gam bling house is then more than ever a good place to keep away from. The dogs also act as a wholesome hint to Iavestigators and curlo-Ity seekers. A Chicago saloon keeper bas attract *d much noteice by inviting ministers to come to his place and hold services. He Mays that the frequenters of his resort will not go to the churches, and, If the ministers are in earnest in their work of reclamation, they shonld go to the saloons and preach. According to his open Invitation to the preachers, be will guarantee respectful treatment to them. If reform can be accom plished. the chur h will have his af, for he claims to be sincere in this movement While the Chicago ministers are unit lag to fight the <1ves, Chicago's mayor Ways that they are not as had as they are painted.

My dear, I will make you a confes sion. Nelther had I before Mrs. Le land told me. You know she and her daughter disappear for a few weeks every year, and they come back with the bloom of roses In thein cheeks and a generally rested air about them. Well, this year I forced them to dl vulge their secret, and here I am, a temporary convert. As regarda Dr. Rikli, he believes that a return to nature is a sure cure for almost every disease. He belleves that the blood must each day be made to fall below and rise above the normal temperature, because all uniform action provokes and Induces stagnation and paralysis of the natural functions. The skin must act and react, and for this there are three condltions necessary: First.-Exposure to rayp of light . Becond. - Tension and -elaxation, these latter to be produced by cold and heat (perspiratlon). Third.-The absolute cleansing of the skin by water. Of course, the fresh air treatment at this time of the year Is slightly mod Ified. It conslats principally of sun baths In glass roofed chambers, but in the spring, summer and early au tumn the system is in full swing, and. thanks to Mrm. Leland, I can teil you all about It. When the patient ar rive., &he ais given a hut to live in. This is open on one side and face@ the beautiful lake. sThere te a brown holigad eurtala which she can draw at will, but this is her only protee tion ainM t the winds of heaven. In spite of that, it is wonderful how few ce~ds the patimnts have. One becomes quickly aused to this surplus air, and then when one goes back to city life again eve-ything seems stuffy and nun bearable. Well, to *return to the regime. At 8, or Woon after, in the mnrning the colotny waken, and the inhabitanta start off walking to the air bath. The ladies' air bath in an inclosed park, hlghly tenceI and guarded by paling. and trees, about a mile and a half from the air hut. Hlere, clad in white musalln, they walk to and fro on the grams or aanded path, barefooted, bareheaded and bare shouldered. I marveled at the fact that a tempera ture of about 00 to 65 dcgrees was en tirely agreeable to them, but Mrs. Le nland assured me that never in her life had shie feit zo well. It was almost as good as being a goddess, phe said. At 7 o'clock a frugal breakfast of honey, bread and milk is served. At 9 every one dresses, and a conple of hours ase devoted to writing letters or other oc cupations. At 11 comes the sun bath. You don't know how I enjoy this. Dr. Rikll has put up a capital new large bhathhousp. on the roof of which all lie h Iden from ~ne another. the head shel tered and the odluxly in the great, beau tiful bhinze of the sun. You feel as if all the ills of the flesh were being burn ed and blessed out of you. After 40 minutes of this excessive bnking your bath wouiman, comnes n 1 rolls you in a blatket. You beconie in apfkarance a helpless Egyptian unin1 my. but your skin pours forth persîirn tlon. A quarter of an hour only you remain tbus swatlied and helpless. and then you descend to a deep tepi)l bathl. where two lusty woluen so rub and scrub ai.d shampoo for four ininutes that you come out feeling as fine as *flk. The afternoon is devoted totrides, drives and, above all. long walk. through the beautiful pine woods. At 5:30 all the patients meet for the prin cipal meal of the day. and at 7 the greater number' are in bed and fast asleep. Isn't that sort of life enough to bring bealth to the most broken dowa woman? ^-» .y BEATraCR CHAPMA&. WHEREMUSICREIGNS MAINE COAST BECOMING A RESORT FOR MUSICIANS OF NOTE.

Many musl cians promiinnt In their pnarticular lines and whose nanmes are familiar through out the whole United States have found their way to this sequestered nook, where quiet and repese appealed to them on every side anid where the outside world would not likely hutrude. Franz Kuelsel, the well known vio linist of the Knelsel Quartet and the Boston Symphouy, who tirst visited Blue HiI in the summer of 189l, has just completed the purchase of a piece of property enibracing upward of 40 acres at Parker's Point. on the out skir of the village, and It is his In tentfon to make his future summer home here. Mr. Knelsel, at the time of his original coming to Blue Hill, rented the handsome cottage "La Mascotte." overlooking the bay, and, with his family, occupied it until fall. A notable gathering of musical peo ple at Blue HII resulted from Mr. Knelsel's action. The other members of the quartet-Karl Ondricek, the Bo hemian vlolinist; Alwin Schroeder, the cellist, and Louis Svecensli, the viola player, together with Lotta Mills of New York, pianist for the quartet opent the summer months here In prep aratlon for the winter .eason follow Ing. Wilhelm Gericke, director of the Boston Symphony orchestra, and H. E. Krebblel. the critic and lecturer, were guests of Mr. Knelsel for a short time. The violinist's two pupils-Miss Bessie BeU Collier of Cohasset, Masa., and Miss Helen Farrell of Lawrence-came to the Blue Hill Inn in order to contin ue their studylng. Mr. Knelsel's purchase is situated along the coach road leading from Par ker's Point to Brookline and Sedgwick. The land adjoins the home of Wult Fries, the venerable old cellist, who, with Professor HilI, Instructor of mu sic at Wellesley college, was the found er of the Blue Hill musical colony. A rare treat Is afforded the people of Blue Hill when Wulf Fries plays at the services in the Congregatlonalilst church. The gray haed German, whose magie bowing hasThnrmuied thou aands of people, occuples a seat every Sunday morning in the old fashioned choir loft at the rear of the church, and, despite his fourscore years, he brings forth from his sonorous Instru ment tones of surpasging beauty and firmniness. A good story relative to Wulf Fries' custom of playing in the church is told by the menibers of the congregation. During the suimmer of 199 a young man from New York city, who assfmed to be au fait on matters of musical erudi'ion, attended the Con giegationni service in company with a Blue IIllWriend. In the middle of the opening hyvinn the knowing youiig (o thamnite turned to his companion, say ing: ";ooMness! Listen to that miser able violin bnaek there in the gallery. I wonder wlihat Maine fariner it is that's fidliing!" "Oli, thliat's only Wulf Fries playing the cell,." was the response. "Itut, then, don't blamne him: Hei's doing the best ho eau." It was a noticanble fact that througlih out thlie reniaiiinder f the woulil he crit Iets stayv iii -ie 1111 lij s well of mIusic al lore was scliloin drawn froin.
