Keeps the Skin In Fine Order—The Use of
Salt—Towels and Sponges.
It is in fact more necessary to keep
the skin in fine order over the entire per
son in winter than it is in summer, be
cause inclination does not prompt any
but trained skins to demand it at this or
a later season of the year. In summer
the bath tub needs no aigument, nor
should the sponge bath at miy season

flesh. The skin is the second or supple

tumid abdomen, gurgling on pressure on
the right side.
These symptoms may exist about four
teen days and gradually abate and the
patient recover, but the patient may, on
the other hand, go on from bad to
worse and finally be destroyed by ex
haustion, perl ^ration of the bowels or
, bowel hemorrhage. If on examination
of the body of one dead under the above
..circumstances there be found numerous
patches of inflamed surface in the bowel
known as the “ileum” it is perfectly
proper to ascribe the death to typhoid
fever.
The poison of the disease^ which is
probably a microscopic plant, exists
mainly in the bowel ovacuati ons of those
ck of the disease. It is true that this
distance has never been isolated and
;own to men as one would show a sam
ple of wheat or other seed, but it exists
all the same, and when a. person devel
ops the disease it is because he has swol-
(lowed some of the |>oison with his drink,
’moat likely, and it passes along the ali-
Imentary canal till it finds a good soil in
'which to grow—that is, in the position
indicated, known as “Peers’ patches,” a
glandular formation bearing the name
of a learned ph> sician long since dead.
It is probable that some in vigorous
health might take small amounts of this
poison into the system and escape un
hurt.. A temperature of 212 degrees,
that is. the boiling point, kills the poison
of all zymotic diseases. Here in brief is
the sum of the prevention of the trouble:
Maintain a high state of the general
health and boil all suspected water be
fore using. In fact it is well to use
Nothing but boiled water when any epi
demic disease prevails.
Some typhoid fever patients will re
cover by rest in bed using only liquid
K food. Others will die in spite of the
best attention. These last are either
constitutionally weak or received enor
mous doses of the poison. Enteric fever
is much the better name for the trouble
in question.—Philadelphia Times.
Benefits of Laughter.
Ih'obably there is not the remotest
corner or little inlet of the minute blood
vessels of the body that does not feel
some wavelet from the great convulsion
^produced by hearty laughter shaking the
central main. Tim blood moves more
lively—probably its chemical electric or
vital condition is distinctly modified—it
conveys a different impression to all the
organs of the body, as it visits them on
that particular mystic journey, when
the man is laughing, from what it does
at other times. And thus it is that a
good laugh lengthens n man's life by
conveying a distinct and additional stim
ulus to the vital forces. The time may
come when physicians, attending more
closely than they do now to the in
numerable subtle influences which the
soul exerts upqn its tenement of clay,
shall prescribe to the torpid patient “so
many peals of laughter, to be undergone
at such and such a time,” just as they do
that for more objectionable prescriptions
—a pill or an electric or galvanic shock.

Women Abroad and at Home.
The New York women are like the
New York men. They are the heat
dressed women in the world. Redfern.
of London, and Worth, of Paris, make,
it is true, very line dresses, but you will
find as many of them worn in New York
almost as in London or Paris. The
cheaper dresses of New York have a
style and fit about them which you do
not find in those of the dressmakers of
1 Europe. The American girl has a better
taste as to dress than the foreign one.
and this is so as compared to France a.
well as other countries. The German
girls are, as a rule, dowdy. They don’t
understand how to put on their clothes.
English girls wear good stuffs but their
dressee are prim aud except among the
richest, ill-fitting. The French women
dress better and show more individuality
of taste than those of the rest of Europe,
but the American girl surpasses them m
this and she has a better complexion to
build upon.-Frank George Carpenter.
•‘Horror*’* in the London Pre**.
No wonder that publishers of shilling

everv morning the newspapers are con
verted into penny dreadfuls, full of ro
mantic and blood-curdling sensations,
such as would have delighted a I oe, a

Water in a much batter conductor of
heat (from the body) than air is. When
the air stands at 77 degrees we call it a
warm day, but a bath at 77 degrees by
the same thermometer is a cold bath for
most iiersons. By beginning with a wet
towel bath of water that causes only a
pleasant consciousness in the skin (say
at 90 degrees Fahrenheit) the circulation
may lie so promoted by the vigorous
rubbing and the skin so improved in
tone that each day the temperature of
the water may be lowered, until the
healthy skin becomes the true safeguard
against cold and catarrah.
A double handful of common salt
thrown into the bathing water “afterthe
cleaning procqss has been performed is a
beneficial addition. The saline particles
are very penetrating, and no amount of
rubbing will remove them from the
skin, upon which they exert a most use
ful, though a very gentle, stimulating
influence. esjieciaUy salutary in cases of
sluggish liver. Not only does this act
locally on the skin, increasing its secre
tions, but also quickens the processes of
nutrition in all the tissues of the body.
A man worn with excessive muscular
labor should take a warm bath, the
calming effects from which resemble
sleep. Dr. Morriss divides invalids (and
well people) into two classes, those who
have a reserve strength, who thrive on
cold baths, anil those whose feeble func
tions should be assisted by warm baths.
Feeble functions are not feeble muscles;
the latter in an indolent person derive
strength from the cold bath, which en
courages to exercise afterwards and this
makes muscle grow.
Thumbless mittens of ordinary Turk
ish toweling are as good as the more
costly sponges for the luxury of the
daily “rub bath.” A large Turkish
towel wrung out of either tepid or cold
wiiu r, will expedite the bathing process,
and by all means provide a goodly sized
towel for the dry rub afterward. Turk
ish towels that come the size of crib
sheets are most useful for this, and the
luxury of having two linen batli sheets
in daily use is known to the initiated
few. After either a cold or a warm
plunge hath the immediate covering of
the whole body in a large wrap of linen
or the soft tufted cotton gives a sensa-
tiou of luxury that some people never
know.—Cleveland Leader.
Iluntcrn of Concealed Treasures.
One of the curious schemes that find a
lodgment in this city is that of a stock
company designed to make a specialty of
hunting up concealed treasures. Capt.
Bridgewater, one of the stockholders,
tells me it is doing a good business. 1
asked him how they went to work.
“Well," said he, “we are guided by cir
cumstances. We learn as much as pos
sible about the characteristics of jieople
who are supposed to have concealed
treasure, and then work accordingly. 1
was once called by the friends of an in
sane man to look after his money. He
had hidden it while supposed to be in
his right mind, and after lie became in
sane lie could not be induced to talk on
the subject or give any clew. One day
1 suddenly pulled out of my pocket a
big roll of bilk, and quietly remarked:
•We stumbled on your bidden pile the
other day.’ lie gave a quick glance to
the corner of the room and shouted,
•You lie!’ and then laughed gleefully.
1 had that corner searched that, night
and found the money. 1 knew that he
would not be satisfied to stay in any
place where he could not be in sight of
his treasure.
“Another case, where we made $2,000.
was that of a wealthy man stricken with
paralysis. lie was about to deposit
$29,000 when striken down, and the
money was gone, lie could not recall a
tiling. All that was known was that he
was found sitting on the front hall
stairs bereft of mind and speech. We
hurried everywhere and I made up my
mind that lie had been robbed. We ex
amined liis person, and found a black
and clue mark on his hip and another
on his forehead. A sliver, of blue
painlad wood was on his clothing. We
then started out to find where the sliver
came from and where he got his marks.
We fomid in the bam cellar a dump
cart that gave us our clew, and in the
manure where he had fallen we found
the money." — New York .l\ayside

Not a Blatter Beyond the Science of Man
—Food for Serious Thought.
It has been lately said that the mating
of human beings is a matter beyond the
science of man, because “as near as may
be God joins two souls. The causes of
selection are unknown, and we have lit
tle hope of their discovery. Whatever
breeding to secure brains has so far been
had has been a complete failure. Now
and then there has been a line of smart
men—often a family of smart people—
but we believe the union of a poet with a
Philistine is more apt to produce a re*
markable issue than the union of two
poets.” Does it not seem to be almost
blasphemous to charge upon God the re
sponsibility for the marriages of money,
of greed for rank, and of course of ani
mal passion, of the evil effects of which
the divorce courts and the scandal col
umns of the press are so constantly full?
Is it not'true that every person of clear
brain can tell what were the causes that
led to his or her choice of a life partner?
What intelligent person will admit in
this day that he or she^gyas led by fancy
alone, or by impulse only, and that calm
reason and due regard for the laws,
written or unwritten, had no part in de
ciding the question of mating for life?
Who except the ignorant or the reckless
will confess that, without a thought of
possible consequences, they assumed the
responsibility of creating new ties and
of bringing into the world new beings to
affect its destiny? Is the mating of hu
man beings beyond the science of man?
If that were true—if the laws of man do
not exercise an almost irresistible power
over that mating—why do not men of
high intelligence and irreproachable
character wed women of depraved taste*
or of infamous reputation, yet of beauty
of exterior?
Is there proof that breeding for brain
has been a failure ? Can it be shown
that the children of people of genius
have failed to show like genius because
their parents possessed great talents?
Have not the failures been the result of
other causes not so deeply hidden for
discovery? It is a truth well known to
breeders that often a reversion to an old
type of ancestors will appear to appar
ently set at naught the best art of the
breeder. None know better than do
breeders of the highest skill how tedi- *
ously long is the task of firmly fixing
any peculiarity of form, or color, or
temperament, or action in animals com
pletely under control as to mating, and
of short generations. None know bet
ter than they that like will produce
like, immediately or remotely, and they
are therefore not discouraged by fail
ure, however much they may be dis
appointed. It is scarcely reasonably to
ex]>ect to develop and permanently es
tablish by a single effort a talent for
any branch of the serious work of the
world, or a remarkable genius for any
art; blit history furnishes evidence
showing that the breeding of men with
a steadfast purpose of developing cer
tain physical or mental traits has been
successful; and also showing that, while
by this means mankind has at times ad
vanced greatly, he has often slipped
back when he has neglected the observ
ance of correct principles of breeding.
None will deny that the royal families
of Europe, the Ptolemies of Egypt, or
the Incas of America possessed marked
genius for ruling. They were bred and,
in many cases, closely inbred for the
strenghtening and intensifying of their
powers of governing. How great a
measure of success attended the exer
cise of the breeder’s art in their cases
was shown by the grand works
of Egyptian kings and by the
results of European ruling and indi
cated by the magnificent ruins
of Central and South America—struc
tures that have no equals among the
products of th6 boasted and conceited
civilization of to-day—structures that
we would find difficulty in reproducing
with the aid of all modem appliances,
which give proof that their builders had
ir marvelous ability to govern multitude*
of men in tasks that, with the crude ap
pliances tliej' used, would be to us im
possible, because we lack the power to
manage great masses of men.—E. W.

Cirrifijri, Coache*. Bicycle-*, Tricycles
and Roller Skit** of the Capital.
If you want to see a city on wheels,
Washington is the place to come. You
may walk all day about the beautiful
streets and not meet any one on horse
back. Everyone who riles at all goes
on wheels, and no city in the country
can furnish such a variety of ways of
getting about. Even the children have
got the infection and all day long you
can see them gliding over the smooth
asphalt on roller skat**. Tne roller
skate craze may have u : od out in other
places, but it is at its zenith in Washing
ton. But evening in the fashionable
west end is the time to see Washington
on wheels. Of course there are plenty
of diplomats and senators and potentates
of various degrees in low, heavy car
riages with liveries and jangling silver
chains, comfortable family coaches with
fat, easy-going horses roll slowly by,
and the fast horses attached to spiderly
looking buggies which flash swiftly past.
In and out among them glance an end
less variety of glistening wheels—tricy
cles with a little wheel behind and two
big ones in front, or with a little one in
front and two big ones behind, or with
two big ones at one side and a little one
at the other, or, in short, with any pos
sible or impossible combination of three
wheels. Young men and old men,
women and gills ride them. On many
of them is a little perch, where the fond
parent may take his infant pride to ride
with him. Then there are double ma
chines. where one can put liis best girl
in front and whirl her along with him.
and, looking comfortably over her
shoulder, say what he wi.I in her ear.
One of the latest additions on the road
is a comfortable, cushioned arm chair
with a seat behind for the motive force.
This is not often seen out in daylight
now, but it was in great demand on
moonlight nights in summer and sug-
gusted agreeable possibilities.
And speaking of wheels in the moon
light reminds me of how the tricycle
has gradually grown in favor this year.
I have carefully watched its increasing
popularity. Four months ago there was
but one lady in Washington who would
he seen in the daylight upon a tricycle.
This was Mrs. Belva Lockwood, and
illumined by fame’s bright light, and
mounted upon a dingy and rattling tri
cycle, she was the object of nit her
marked attention by every one. But
she bore undaunted the small boys’ jeers
and the proud man’s contumely, and
cheerfully trundled around the streets
on her primitive machine, which in
volved no small amount of gym antics
and a brave display of red stockings.
People thought the presidential candi
date queer and touched the top of tiieir
1 icads significantly when her name was
mentioned, but no doubt she feels some
thing of vhe satisfaction of the pioneer
when she sees the many ladies who are
her converts.—Washington Cor. Detroit

HOMELESS RICH OF THE HUB.
The Lore of Country.
Such is love of country. Beautiful,
heaven-sent spirit! which makes heroes
of cowards and saints of debauchees;
which sustains men in dungeons and
carries women through trials worse
than childbirth; which is at once nature
in art and art in nature, all things that
are tender in one strong casement, only
those who have lost their country know
how to value it. and there is no conti
nental nationality which has not at some
time known what subjection is. The
other evening the hand played “God
Save the Queen,” and all the English
rose to their feet, and stood till the final
strains of the noble old anthem died
away upon the moonlit air. To be in a
foreign iand and to have a body of for
eign musicians break upon you with
your own national song—even the beef
eating Britons, for all their stolidity,
are not proof against it: and. blast ’em!
I felt like getting up and standing, too!

Softening “Hurd” Water.
Based upon the fact that a small
quantity of lime water added to hard
water softens it by precipitating ’the
chalk, a process has been in use at Hen
ley-on-Thames for the last four years
which, at the cost of less than a half
penny per 1.000 gallons, uniformly re
duces the hardness of the Henley water
from IS to 5 degrees. The Daily News
(London) describes a recent inspection
of the process, the apparatus for which
is pronounced “most useful, easily
manage'* and thoroughly reliable.” It

▲ ClasR for Which the Social Scientist*
Should Take Thoucht—An Example.
From Bar Harbor to Newport the sum
mer hotels are closing, and the home
less rich again, like poor Jo in “Bleak
House,” are compelled to “move on.” It
is the homeless rich who excite one’s so
cial sympathies. The homeless poor
hav£ a certain predetermined polarity of
life which may have its hardships, but
has also its definiteness of purpose. But
the people who, by means of abundant
wealth, are freed from this centripetal
force, and whose life becomes a kind of
scenic vagabondism and nomadic va
grancy, are a class for which the social
scientists should take thought.
I have in mind one family which is a
good example of the type. The husband
and father is the owner of an immense
manufactory here, and his wealth is
great. There is the mother and a young
lady daughter whose lives offer them
the perfect freedom that wealth
and leicure insures. They could
live abroad or at home, the father being
a man of liberal tastes and freedom from
business routine. They could own a
house in this city fitted up to their lik
ing. They could have a summer villa
et the sea, or pass the summer abroad,
or travel anywhere through their own
country. Instead, they live the nomadic
life that involves constant interruption
and the hardships and discomforts of
moving the machinery and impediments
of life from pillar to post. They passed
a winter at a city hotel, the entire fur
nishings of a beautiful home they had
once owned being stored for an indefi
nite time in a Boston warehouse.
Suddenly, before it was time to leave
town for the summer, circumstances
forced them to change their hotel. They
tried another for a short time—the time
being too brief to make it worth while
to fairly settle in their rooms—and then
they started on a senes of summer mi
grations in some of the inland resorts.
In midsummer they returned to Boston
and stayed a few days at a down-town
hotel, in the midst of a noise and trafli-
that was unceasing night and day, while
they could prospect for a seaside hotel,
to which they went, to find small rooms,
poor service, a d the usual inconveni
ences of living in trunks. In a few
days more this hotel closes. I met the
daughter of the house yesterday, who
regaled me with a touching account of
their summer migrations and hardships,
and of the anxieties that beset them in
finding apartments in town for the
winter. The entire family appear now
to be engaged in this search. They have
an anxious and fatigued air: they have
no time to read the new books, to enjoy
the glorious resplendance of these early
autumn days, the society of friends, or
the amusing panorama of city life as the
season begins. Their lives are all a con
tinual sacrifice to things, and I remem
ber Emerson’s lines:
Quantity Venus Quality.
Flossie had been presented with a box
1 of French candy.
“Now Flossie,” said her mother, “you
hare eaten all that you ought to. You
can have one piece more, and then we
! will put the box away until to-morrow.”
“Can I have any piece I like?” asked
Flossie.
“Yes; take the kind you like best.”
Flossie hesitated. “Well, mamma.”
she said, finally, “if I take the kind I
don’t like beat, can I have two pieces?*—
Now is not the life of the homeless
rich, when continually rendered as a

a far more hopeless case than the life of

He Langhed Oat
He was from the East, and if he
.CIS not an ex-detective, ho had at
east a right to b9 cal ed a philoso
pher. He was buzzing around the
depot with a suspicious looking
young man, and finally a special
•ifiicer stepped up to hitn and said,
My friend, who is this young
nan ?”
“I think he Is a pickpocket,” was
the prompt reply.
“ Where are you going?”
“To Chicago, and he has just pur
chased his ticket for the same
point.”
“II you think he is a suspicious
character why do you train with
him.
“dimply to beat him.”
“How ?”
“He goes to Chicago because I’m
going. He means to pick my wallet
between here and there. He had to
scrape bis pocket to buy the tick t.
I have two wallets just alike.
About half way to Chicago I shall
let him get hold of the one sUiffe"
with paper. He will leave the first
station alter. He will have no
money, find no friends, and be ma
enough to burst when he sees ray
trick. I’m Just cracking mj
sides over the way his chin will
drop when he opens tne stolen wa -
let.”
About an hour after, when the
train had departed, the officer was
surprised to see the i -aerstill hang
ing around ami ih;s time alone,
“l i.en you Jvdn’t go to Cnlcago?”
“Say,” answered the man as h<
came closer, “that chap wasn’t af
ter my money, after all He simp];
wanted my watch, and I”il be
ounged if he hasn’t got it ! Where’s
the chief of police?”
“I’ve Married E’m”
McCoy when he came to Scott
county, went to work for a farmer
named Hitt, who had a very charm
ing daughter, Emma. A young
man, whom Farmer Hitt had re
peatedly driven from the place,
continued to come around, paying
his addresses to the daughter, until
finally the farmer, despairing to
keep him away by any milder
means, hired McCoy to thrash him
every time lie came near. Ouce or
twice, or maybe more, the youm
man came, saw the girl, took his
thrashing, and departed. But om
day there came the end ol this sort
of thing. McCoy, returning fron.
town, where he had gone as a drivi r
and escort for the daughter, ap
proached the father, saying: “Well,
Mr. Hitt, I’ve settled this businesi
of that young fellow’s coming
around here to see Etn.”
“What do you mean ?” asked the
farmer.
“ I mean that he won't come any
more, and you can bet on it.”
“Why, Mac, you havn’t'killed him,
have you ?” asked the farmer, fear
fully.
“No. Better than that.
‘ What then ?”
“I’ve married Em.”
The old fa. mer flew into a fearful
i ?.gp, but McCoy had the girl, and
there was no getting her away
from him, so Farmer Hitt, like a
sensible man, made the most of it,
and gave his son-in-law a piece ot
land, which he is now tilling, while.
“Em” minds the babies like a duti
ful wife.
Among the new and less known
