BATHING IN THE SEA.
t Ort*lna?ed In Enfland la the
felfktrrBlh Century.
Sea bathing bad its origin in England
before 17."?0, when Dr. Ric hard Russell
published his treatise on the virtues
of sea water. The healing virtues of
Lh? sea bath were not understood; nor
was the practice of sea bathing gen
eraily resorted to. There seems to
have existed a horror of the sea; in
deed, in mediaeval times a compulsory
dip in its waters was a sentence often
passed on tbe public offender. In tbe
earlier decades of tbe eighteenth eeu
tury western Europe suffered heavily
under "king's evil," tbe popular name
for that tuberculous affection which
scourged all classes from peer to peas
ant.
Dr. Russell, a Sussex practitioner,
bad observed that dwellers on tbe
coast used to drink of tbe sea water,
bathe in it, even wash their sores in
it and bind them up with sea weed.
Having satisfied himself as to tbe
efficacy of tbe practice he began to
prescribe for bis patients with most
satisfactory results. Ilis treatise re
sulted in the coasts becoming large
ly patronized by tbe ailing, and tbe de
mand for seaside lodgings was soon a
growing quantity. This gradually
spread to the continent. Then people
commenced to *ce that fresh water
was a good thing, and tbe vital im
portance of the skin as an excretor of
waste was greatly emphasized some
what later (in l.SMi, when the morning
"tub" was instituted' ami has since ac
quired a worldwide reputation.
OLD JEWISH TRADITION.
The Wnj- tlie Imim-HIc* of Old Lout
Their Third Kye.
The Jews of eastern Palestine and
Asia Minor have a queer tradition
which has survived from jjucieut time-;
and tells of a remote period in their
history when every fully devolped Is
raelite was equipped with three perfect
eyes. The two main optics were situ
ated in tbe front part of the head, Ju^;
as eyes are today, but tbe third was
located in the back part of tbe bead
just above the nape of the neck in tbe
edge of tbe hair. This wonderful third
eye in man was not "evoluted" out of
existence, but was closed by divine in
junction on the day when Moses was
given tbe tallies of stone on Sinai.
You remember that God's command
on tbe day that the tables were renew
ed was to the effect that no man should
be seen in the vicinity of the holy
mount. (See Ex. xxxiv, The be
lievers in the three eye tradition say
that Moses supplemented God's com
mand by ordering tbe faithful who
were encamped in the valley to turn
their heads from the mountain. This
they did. but took good care to uncover
the eye that was situated in the back
of tbe bead. Moses, noticing this show
of duplicity oil the part of bis follow
ers, asked God to close tbe third, or rear,
eye. and since that day the Israelites,
in common with the remainder of hu
manity, have been forced to depend on
two eyes only.
Renrn of Okoflnokee Swamp.
The great Oketinokee swamp begins
not far from Waycross. Ga., and ex
tends due south for a distance of about
forty miles, running over into Florida.
Here in this vast tract of desolate bog
and swanm are thousands of black
bear and ueer and wild turkeys with
out number. The whole region is a
hunter's paradise, and yet so abundant
is the game in this remote and desolate
country that it does not seem t<> dimin
ish ill spite of the uiiiirods. The bears
weigh fr?>m -<X) to .'{mo pounds and pnt
in a great part of their time preying
upon the pigpens of the farmers. If
forced into ;i light they are dangerous
nntsigonist-s. and no prudent hunter will
attar!, one save jit a point of vantag".
