BATHING IN COLD WEATHER THE MATING OF HUMAN BEINGS. A CITY ON WHEELS. GERERAi NEWS- 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 for the person who respects his own flesh. The skin is the second or supple mentary lungs.

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. —Scientific American. 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 shockers are crying out about the flat ness of their once active market. W hy, 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 La Fanu. or a Gaboriau. It is the sheer- art nonsense for purists in literature .o decrv plots, or to say that Uie taste for horrors (decent horrors, that is) is oil the decrease. It is a constant quality which never varies—that is to say, the taste for murders or disappearances, if they require unraveling, and furnish em ployment for the mind more tfrair word puzzles, is inborn m 999.9W people out of 1,000.000. " ho then m wing to pav a shilling for a -shocker in big type, when he can gets whd. battery iT brevier for a penny?-Pall Mall Gazette. Mushroom* In Europe. A strange variety of taste has l ,r ®~ railed in many countries in regard to mushrooms. In Rosa* the never without them. They “^ hung up to dry in the roofs of the ■*-* * * cold sponging. 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 Notes." Did H* Prove It* “The worst thing about you, old man. is that in argument you always take the opposite side, no matter what you really think." “Nonsense, dear boy; and to prove it I’ll admit that you are right." “Then vou confess it?“ -On the contrary, I have disproved your proposition by agreeing with you for once.” “Yes; but—” * Yud he hasn’t yet been able to decide 1.™ flaw lies. Nor have I—F. E. 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. Perry in Chicago Times. 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 Free Press. 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!

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 L said t! in public institutions the net p: >1:’ ».f using soft water instead of hard exceeds 20 per cent, per annum on the i price of the apparatus. As for the com fort and convenience of soft water as ! compared with hard everybody knows ! it.—Chicago News. ▲ 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 burnt offering and a sacrifice to things, a far more hopeless case than the life of the homeless poor!—Lilian Whiting in Inter Ocean. The enterprising colony of Victoria, en couraged by the satisfactory results flowing from the trade in fresh meats is bei.t on tempting the English markets with fresh Australian butter. It is argued that th*- sys tem of refrigeration by which n>“at is kept fresh during the long voyage to England will serve equally as well in the case of butter, and it is pointed out that butter prolnced in the antipodean summer would reach the Eng lish markets in time to command a ready aale daring midwinter-—Chicago Time* A tunnel is contemplated b. - t veen Detroit am) thedominion u Ontario- The Secretary of the Treasury ha.- issued a call fur the redemptio’ of ?10,000,ii0<i < f 3 jier cent, bonds.

With a Washington monument more thanoOO feet high,and astaiue of Liberty more than 300 feet high, vhe Republic of the United Slates may be said to be doing tully as a ell as could be expected.

I had feared that some 1 i; t le miscalculation or error might creep in, but I see that the work stands as I meant it should. I’here is not the slightest room for my criticism on my part.” The Bartholdi Statue of Liberty was formally dedicated at Bedloe’s Nland, New York harbor,Thursday Oct 2-S, with imposing military and naval demonstrations.

There is a notable revival of for eign immigration to the United States. In September the arrival.- amounted to 10,041. a gain as com p .red with September, 1885, of 12, 270, or 30 per cent.

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.
