HIS FIRST TURKISH BATH. erience of tho Man From the Coun fo ‘ ‘ try at the Hoffman. from the -Vnc York Evening Sun. Tt was 1 o’clock yesterday morning when heMan From the Country stepped out of lelmonico's after a late and lusty dinner. was what his system had to wrestle ' ip worth of rich food. 1 bottle of claret. a cups of Turkish coffee, i glass of curacoa, i glass c-rcam of cocoa. •) strong cigars* H s bead ached and he was oppressed with .. thought that he was due at 5 o’clock to w-t friends on an incoming train, and that " was expected to be around in trim for lusiness thereafter. In a moment of weak ens he permitted a friend to persuade him ntake a pony of absinthe. It proved a i-hole horse. In an hour it was a team and horse to let. He was wide awake. He 1 it as if somebody had put his head in a vise ndwas squeezing it between the relentless Hws of the instrument. The peculiar Nub ile perfume of tho greenish whitish stuff inn-red in hi" nostrils and ho walked on a ,lavement of air. His escort piloted him to i dice on Twenty-fourth street, in the rear of the Hoffman House. Two big lamps in front of the entrance fore the words: TURKISH. RUSSIAN. * "‘l’m going to give you a Turkish bath,” ir j the stranger’s conductor. “You have Overbad one, I presume.” The stranger admitted that he had never enjoyed ail Oriental ablution and his escort SU -■ Nothing like a Turkish bath to foil the effects of a late dinner .out of you and ,lighten you up for business.” \ young man that talked like a mother who is afraid of waking the baby welcomed he stranger in the little office of the bath louse, and led him over a carpet soft as a eather bed to a room full of bunks sepa rated from each other by curtains hung on ides a little higher than the head. Hub bed light pervaded the place, and a gentle more proceeded from one berth. The Granger entered a compartment containing [ couch and what looked like a hexagonal lorse block The soft-voiced young man laid: ‘‘Please peel!” The stranger unharnessed. Then the at endant girded him about with a long ■rash towel and invited him out. The at iendant and his curious charge threaded a larrow passage between two rowsof bertlis. \ door was thrown open and the stronger magined that he had made a mistake and rot into the furnace of the establishment. It vas a large iron-walled room. There were n it many chairs with foot-rest attachments. Sow these chairs endured the place without ‘combusting” was a mystery. The attendant asked the stranger to sit lown and make himself at home. As he iad never been to Gehenna the novice louldn’t exactly do it, but he sat down and jade farewell to earth. The attendant went >ut and shut the door. The stranger actu dlv breathed. Every breath seemed to 31-oil his lungs. He began to wonder what Kirt of a delicacy roasted man would be. His ’eet were done first, then his aims were ‘ooked, and then his checks thawed out. His sense of smell survived the ordeal, and the subtle odor of the absinthe thut he had drank appeared to pervade all the place. Every pore in his body wept with anguish at tlie ordeal. The attendant came in with a wet towel and put it on his head. In a minute the towel was steaming.' Then the attendant fetched a silver mug full of cold water, which the novice drank with the lurking suspicion that the intense heat would convert it into steam and blow him up. He sat down and reflected on his sins, and waited for the explosion. Twenty minutes elapsed. Every pore in his body had become an artesian v eil. Filially the door opened, and a man not overdressed entered. He wore a finger ring and a towel. He was a perfect Hercules in build, and every muscle was well developed. He asked the stranger if he desired to enter the hot room. “What in the thunder do you call this?” asked the sufferer. “Is this your ref rigera tor?” Hercules smiled and said: “This is 150 de grees hot. That room in there is much hot ter. Some gentlemen prefer it.” “If you have a nice cool apartment in the furnace of the hotel I would like it,” said the stranger. Hercules felt of the sufferer’s shins, and said “ You seem to be perspiring well." “1 seem to he expiring,” retorted the vic tim. “Please step this way,” said Hercules. He led his victim across the hall into a damp room with what looked like a wet dis secting table at one side. A silver mounted host- hung suspiciously from one wall, and the top of a big pepper fox looked down fre u tin- ceiling. Hercules laid out his vic tim on the dissection table, apparently for tli -lust .sad rites of the ceremony. He drew a topper dish pan full of warm water from tb silver-mounted liose, dipped his soft, strong hands in the water and gave the sub let a vigorous scrubbing. He washed and wrung out the subject’s limbs, and every Snare tiich of the cuticle gave up its secrets. Juua he took a currycomb and went over the victim. He soaped the manly frame of hi person, and sweetly asked if he should us- a stiffer brush. "If you have a garden rake or some gen ti‘ instrument, please use that,’’ said the vic tim. Hercules was perspiring himself. Great wads of sweat stood all over his rounded Mv. and the light illuminated them until lie looked like a diumdnd-mounted man. H hen he had curried his subject and waped his head, Hercules blandly asked him to sit up on the edge of the dissecting table, in n Hercules went over and toyed with the jjuver-niounted hose a moment. An ominous oiK followed, and a second later the victim "as trying in vain to catch his breath. Her cules had turned the hose on him. The Cre tan river and the Atlantic ocean wore, it warned, after the poor, defenseless wretch on the dissecting table. In vain lie swung his arms and tried to get, Hercules to behave aunself. His eyes and mouth got full of snap and water, and his breat h refused to be taught. In the early part of tho torture the water ~ come from the temperate zone. Then grew cold and cruel, and the sharp, frosty needles of the Arctic shot into every pore. Hercules calmly held the hose and the vic tim, who a few minutes before had been, as Jjj 1 thought, a thousand degrees above zero, mus now away down in the basement of tho / t.ierinonfcter. His teeth chattered a vain protest, but Hercules hold to the hose and pt on. Then Hercules took his limp sub let under the end of the invei-ted pepper ft i “Bd all the previous misery was lorgot ** -i m theagonv of that relentless shower. A thousand aqueous needles came down with (<*rl iil force and pierced tho victim’s de mnseless hotly. After about a thousand Jours of this torture Hercules said, "Please kt rf/ "tit this way.” ~ ’f. 1 ” subject wondered what new torture frs In-ndlsh ingenuity would next invent, ot-rcules conducted the wretch to the hall kindly mopped the soup rind water out el ins eyes and wrung him out. When ho had partially wiped nis subject be hung him out, to dry. Ho produced a table cloth, him > n nd led him hack to his berth. i he worst of the ordeal was over. Her cules gave the novice a warm drink and , eu ‘hid him out in his bunk, tuc-ked him ill'ra ’“'fieri}' ns a mother docs her babe, “'‘ I told him to go to sleep. This untram meled way of sleeping ai Adam must have ‘(mo before the cotton factory was invented, , ’ Vcl *y unique. The subject’s pores con tinued to weep gently, and a man in the next berth snored with sonorous emphasis, m YL w f u a - m - and fifty men were sleeping i? i** th bouse. At, least 4DO persons take nath daily j n tb Hoffman Houscand , place resorts, the latter being the i'ii “tnious in the city. 'AtfjAitffiT fifty i ,_ l ” “ day bathe in the “ the Hoffman Hom-e on uppor floor. Tm-ir Du. , m. until fi p. m. At least a thousand per sons a day enjoy the torture of Turkish and Russian baths in New York. The stranger laid down in his berth and argued with the absinthe his right to sleep. The absinthe and tho suorer in the next berth contested this right, and came out ahead. At 4 o’clock a party of young aris tocrats came in, and one of them, upon whom Bacchus seemed to have a first mort gage, made much noise. Hercules took him in hand, and in short order subdued him with the hose. The attendant went about with clothes-pins and subdued the noses of those who were snoring. The quiet of a Chrsitian night pervaded the place. Sleep and the absinthe had a brief collar-and-elbow wrestle, and sleep won. The victim rested and perspired. Five o’clock came with cruel promptness. So did Hercules. He iuvited liis victim to take a plunge. The wretch wended his way along the hall, descended a pair of stairsinto a pool of water that reached to his chin, and determined to drown himself. Then he changed his mind, ascended the staii-s and re-entered his berth. Hercules came for* ward with a bottle of alcohol and compelled each pore to take a drink. The pores had been open all night, and this process was t o close them for contact with the cold, cold world. IVhen the victim had been properly pickled in alcohol Hercules said that he might have his clothes back again. It is something of a luxury to wear garments after such an ex perience, and tho subject put on his clothes with a sense of gratitude. Then he went out and paid the master of the place ?2 50 for the luxury of being parboiled and rinsed. Hercules got an extra quarter for his matchless and muscular cruelty. He con sented to show the stranger the chamber of torture known as the needle bath. The vic tim does penance in a closet, where water from a thousand jets rushes out from silver pipes to torture him. If, however, he really wishes to punish himself, the victim goes be low into a big marble sarcophagus that reeks with steam. There he enjoys the sensation experienced by a steamed clam. Itisthe Rus sian bath. If he desires an oleaginous ex perience, the subject takes a Roman bath such as luxurious Julius Cassar used to enjoy, and has himself lubricated with perfumed vaseline. At exactly 5 o’clock the Man from the Country wandered out on Broadway, clothed and in his riglitmind. Pugnacious sparrows were chirping, and the early birds were arguing over the abnormally previous and unlucky worm. A horse in a delivery wagon had balked at having to be about at such an uncanny hour, aud his driver had draped his head in a blanket to delude him into the belief that the world was not such a cruel place after all. Nat Goodwin, Thomas P. Ochiltree, and a party of gentlemen had returned from an evening’s performance, and stood sniffing the salt air in front of their hotel The Stranger entered an all night restaurant at Thirtieth street and Sixth avenue, and ordered some boiled eggs and a cup of coffee. He was ravenously hungry and ate with a sharp appetite. He felt as bright as a newly hatched bird and had no use for the lazy individual who invented sleep. He went to the train, met his friends, and then picked up the threads of business. A PENITENTIARY DOG. How Ormsby Phillips Lodged a Runa way Behind Prison Bars. From the Pittsburg Evening Press. “Yes, I knew the late Ormsby Phillips in timately,” said a well-known physician, who is a member of the Pittsburg Press Club, as he sat in the club parlor the other day. “He was a gentleman for whom I always had the highest respect, and whose memory I revere. But I want to tell you of a little joke that he enjoyed in his quiet way to the utmost.” The doctor leaned back in his chair, and his auditors, two or three newspaper men, prepared to listen to a story. “1 need not tell you, gentlemen,” com menced the doctor, “that I am fond of thor oughbred animals, particularly dogs. About seven years ago I fought in Scotland a very line Scotch terrier. He was of a pure strain, and paid $l5O for him. Well, as soon as I got home I presented him to my wife, and she became very fond of him. The dog thieves around town found that I had a valuable animal, and we did not have him at home more than one-fourth of the time. It cost me more than his value in re wards in the course of a few months. It was amusing, too, to note his appearance when returned by some thieving rascal who ha<l found him running loose on the streets, and had taken care of him for humanity’s sake. Sometimes he came back all combed and washed, with a neat blue ribbon around his neck, his tail banged, and a general air of over-fed embonpoint about him. On other occasions he returned lean, hungry, dirty, ragged and with a scrap of rope tied to him. Between these two extremes the poor dog ran tlio whole gamut, and came back in every stage of dudism and rapscal lionism. “At last I got tired of this sort of thing, and declared that if the dog was stolen again I would shoot him when he came back. The next day be disappeared, anil this time I did not recover him. Several weeks passed, when one day I met Mr. Phillips on the street. “ ‘Doctor,’ he said, ‘come over to the pen itentiary to-day. I want to show you some fun.’ “ ‘What is it?” I asked, ‘a hanging?’ “ ‘No, just a little fun. Come over this afternoon, and I promise you some rare sport.’ “Well, I went, and sure enough there was goodsport. It was what they call ‘Ratday’ at the penitentiary, and there was a very lively time on the greensward inside the penitentiary walls. There were some half dozen good dogs, each in the care of a life convict, hunting rate out of every hole and corner and killing them in the highest style of the art. It is absolutely necessary to disposed the rats wholesale occasionally or the prison would be eaten up by them. The dogs (lid noble work, and as you know 1 en joy a little lively sport of any kind, the sight pleased me very much. But some thing besides the business-like way in which the l-afo were disused of engaged my atten tion. In one of the most active pups I rec oniaed a certain Scotch terrier that I had seen before, and 1 said, almost involuntarily, to Ur. Phillips, who stood by my side: “ ‘Why, that’s my Sam.’ “‘Your what T “ ‘My dog that I lost about six weeks “Mr. Phillips looked at me gravely, but I thought with a twinkle in his eye. “ ‘You are mistaken, doctor. That is my dog/ “Well, I was a little suspicious, but still when a gentleman In Mr. Phillips’ position said it was not my dog I could only accept the negative.” “And how was it, doctor?” broke in one of the 1 isteners. ■ ‘ Was it your dogf “It was uml it wusn’t,” remarked the doc tor with a hearty laugh. “You see, thedog belonged to my wife, and when I declared thut i would shoot it, sho gave it to Mr. Phillips uud asked him to care care of it. He didn’t know a safe place for it cx'pt the penitentiary, so he informally committed it for life, ana Sum is having a i-dly time of it among the cross-barred gentry who form the population of Riverside. Mr. Phillips often used to laugh at me afterward be cause I tried to claim his dog. I saw Sam at; Riverside not long ago. lie seemed quite resigned, and the officials say never trios to escape.” To Dislodge the Enemy, When it takes the form of disease of the kid neys or bladder, is a task well-nigh impossible of accomplishment.

LIKE THE FALL OF THE MANNA. The Shower of Quails for the Mormons and Its Probable Explanation. From the New York Sun. Salt Lake, April 10.—The stories about quail which are coming from Nevada have suggested to an old settlor here an explana tion of a phenomenon which has all along been cited as an evidence of the favor in which the Mormons who made the journey across the plains with Brigham were held by the Almighty. The Mormon teachers maintain that the experience of the faithful on that well-known pilgrimage was more marvelous than anything that occurred to the children of Israel when they w andered in the wilderness under the leadership of Moses. By Christians it is generally ad mitted that the Israelites were under the guidance of the Lord; that they were fed from heaven; that water gushed from the rock to satisfy their thirst, and that but for superhuman assistance they never would have passed safely into the promised land. Yet the Israelites were forty years in cross ing a wilderness not so extensive and cer tainly not more dangerous than tho wilder ness which the Mormons crossed in a few months. To all Mormons in this vicinity the story of their forefathers’ pilgrimage is as attractive as the Mosaic hegira was to the ancient Hebrews; it is regarded by all of them as a more certain illustration of God's favor, and by many of them the mir acles which are said to have been performed for the benefit of Brigham’s followers are looked upon as more wonderful than any thing that took place in the days of Moses. The only one of these supernatural stories to which it is now necessary to refer is that which relates how the Brigliamites were fed when starvation seemed to be staring them in the face. “I have investigated that story,” the Sun's informant observed, “and I am bound to believe that some such incident actually occurred. You cannot question the evidence of a score of men and women who, whatever their peculiarities may have been, were not known as liars. Their word was good. Soma of them were not polyga mists. According to the narrative as I got it, the Mormon caravan had run out of meat of every description, and though there was still some food on hand, it was seen that unless a more fruitful country was soon reached all must perish of hunger. The wilderness yielded absolutely nothing. There was no game. The water was mint to drink: Hostile Indians swarmed on all sides of them, and as day followed day and the prospect became blacker and blacker it was decided that on a certain day the caravan should halt and pray to Almighty God for relief. “When that day dawned the wagons and horses were left as they had been placed the night before in a circle, and the pilgrims assembled in the central space and prayed fervently, both publicly and in silence, for deliverance. Not a morsel of food passed the mouth of any person, and from what I can learn a more solemn fast and supplica tion never occurred in this world. For six or seven hours the services lasted. The sky had lieeh cloudless during the forenoon, and in the afternoon only a few white flakes stood in the broad expanse of blue. Soon after 3 o'clock a breeze sprang up, which gradually increased to a gale, and a little later the watchers, who hailed the first change in the atmospheric conditions as signs of a providential response, saw far away on the horizon what appeared to be a black cloud. As it grew in size all stood watching it intently until, amid the shouts and hullelujahs of the faithful, thousands of quail, borne on the wind and dashed with violence against the covered wagons, fell exhausted or dead to the ground. The air was black with them for a few minutes, and so terrifying was the experience that men and women fainted or went wild with joy. After a little, such of the flock as had escaped the wagons disappeared, and the men and women who retained their pres ence of mind began gathering the birds which had come to them so strangely. While they were engaged in this work and were rejoicing over their good fortune it grew suddenly dark, and before the last bird had been picked up rain began to fall in copious showers. Tne stock was greatly refreshed, and much water was caught in utensils which were made ready for the purpose. These strange events had a pro found effect upon everybody, strengthening the faith of the wavering and imbuing all with the conviction that they were indeed the chosen of the Lord. After a day of thanksgiving the caravan moved on, and in a short time it came to fertile valleys and running water, the last of the birds not being consumed until other game was found in plenty. “Now, since I have read of the ‘quail storms’ that thej’ have in Nevada, I have come to the conclusion that this was one of them, and that the only remarkable thing about the matter was that it should have occurred just as it did. 0f course to the Brigliamites it was a miracle. They had never had such an experience before, and I don’t know as you can wonder much at their belief concerning it, but just such things are happening here in the West almost every year. The quail lose their way or they are driven by storms in direc tions contrary to those which they in stinctively seek, and when exhausted, or if they come in contact with any obstruction, they fall to the ground. Many of them are dead, but if alive they may be easily caught. Quail is plenty this year, and you will hear of it ‘raining birds’ before long.” A scientist, after a careful analy is of the impression made upon the retina by dif ferent degrees of light, concludes that, both white ana black are colors, and both should have a proper place upon the chromatic scale.
