This reaction follows most quickly when the bath is of short duration. The shorter the bath the less is the ultimate depression of the temperature of the blood. '1“: i- sliorter the bath the greater is its power of stimulating the functions; the longer it is continued the greater is the cooling effect and the consequent lowering of vitality. The best of all baths is the swimming bath, for in it the bather can indulge in a free eremise of hielimbs, such as is hardly eitcinehle under any other circumstances. Swimming is a very valuable exercise. as it brings into action a large number of muscles. It employs the arms equally with the legs and leads to a healthy dcvrloymmit of the muscles of the chest. Nearly all good swimmers are big chested. A sea bath has also another great advantage over all other forms of bath, that it is taken in the purest sir possible. Reaction more readily occurs after a sea hath than after a timer bath. and thus the liability to “ catch cold " is loss. although the popular belirf that it is impossible to lake. cold from a wetting with salt wutor is far from the truth. The practice into which the fair sex has fallen. of sitting about for a. long time after “ coming out " in order to dry their hair. is injurious and should be avoided.

Perhaps it may attract the rtten tion of milk consumers. and make them somewhat more careful in the selection of the source of their milk supply than at present, if I quote some extracts from a paper read before the American Medical Association by Dr. E. F. Brush. of Mount Vernon. N.Y.. at the meeting held last week. Dr. Brush commenced by saying that the medical profession was agreed that nothing equalled good cows’ milk as a food for infants, and therefore it was to be re- gretted that attention had not been given by the profession to the reforming of the breed of cattle and the handling of milk. path an to the question of substitutes or 1* “ The chemist's ideal milk is a failure. “ The cow must be studied, and if the cow's milk does not nourish the infant, she is sick. or the milk is badly handled. " The cow. owing to the low price of milk. is often improper-Iv fed. and this same cause compels the farmer to utilize ., every drop of milk, be the cow sick or well. “ Good food is the prime essential for producing good milk. “ Milk is affected by its surroundings in the cow house. and the method of getting rid of the odor by saltpetre cannot be too severely censured, for the addition of the ultra may produce poisons approximating totyrctoxicon. No chemical should ever be added. ‘ " Milk should not be conveyed a long distance. for travel deteriorates milk." Dr. Brush concludes by saying: " Let us not recommend patent baby foods. but good. high-priced milk. Milk from slopfed cows shows greater quantity of cream. but it deoom rapidly." No doubt the Milk Inspector in Hamil. ion is doing and work, but much still re. mains to be one. SANITARIAN. urn-0r Tisluue Thai. tam raisin-ll \I.

W How it Picture is Tali-graphed. The fur-:imt’lr telegraph, by which menu siript, maps or pictures may be trans mitted. is a species of the automatic method in which the receiver is actuated synchronously with its transmitter. By Imiioir‘s method a picture or map is out- lined with insulating inli. upon the cylin- ilrioalsurfaco of a rotating drum. which revolves under a point having a slow move- ment along the axis of the cylinder. and thus the con noting point goes over the. cylindrical en face in a spiral path. The electrical circuit will be broken by every ink.mark on the cylinder which is in its path. and thereby corresponding marks ere made in a spiral line by an ink-marker upon a drum at the receiving end. To pro- duce these outlines it is only necessary that the two drums be rotated in unison. This system is of little utility. there being no apparent demand for fits-limits transmia. sion. particularly at so great an expense of speed, for it will be seen that instead of making a character of the al habet by u very few separate pulses. as s done by Morse. the number must be greatly in- creased. Many dots become necessaryto show the outlines of the more complex characters.-~Scribncr‘s Margarine. M We Will Hqcn Wom- Paper clothlnl. It is by no means improbable that paper clothing will yet supersede cotton and woollen cloth as the material of the-people. One establishment in the West is ready doing an extensive business in the manu- facture of paper clothing. and the fabric is said to equal that of any other class of goods in style and durebillt . For blankets. piano coverings and simi er ur- poses the paper fabrics are an eateblis d success. [hey are light and serviceable. Paper pails, dishes and cause are femilier to almost everybody.

W Home Mighty Loose lotions About lur- Ila... No subject has been more discussed of late than the marriage relation. Is it because we wish to render men-i s more sacred and its vows more binding. ir because we desire to make divorce easy ? We prete a good deal about the spiritual horrors of being misnieted and the fathom- less bliss of finding our affinity. We paint in lurid colors the sulphurcns hell on earth in which a couple " continually do dwell " who once thought they loved each other and afterward find out that they do not. The practical result of this superfine philosophy is that the husband and wife who swore to stand by each other “ until death us do part" are on the still hunt throughout society-«the man for another woman and the woman for another man. When the man has found the woman and the woman has found the man. then they seem to regard their marriage as a secrilegious thing. and proceed at once to break the laws of God and man in order to insure domestic happiness. Now. why not carry this logic to its proper conclusion ‘2 For exam le. two young pen is go to the altar. ‘bey are dead sure i at their love will be eternal.

Is this an isolated case. the case of a piti- ful flunk. or does it indicate a tendency of modern thought 7 Well. Dr. Hiillman is the nnenvied hero of another episode of the same nature. He is s. man of culture and social standing and supposes himself to be honorable. Already marrird to one wife. he searches for another. He had an irrepressible yearning for sympa- thy, or something of that sort, and couldn't find it at home. But omit the details; you ere familiar with them. The upshot of the matter is that his early vows are whistled down the wind on some romantic pretext or other.

Oburvatlcns of falling stars hasv been used to determine roughly the average number of meteorites which attempt to pierce the earth's atmosphere durin each twenty~four hours. Dr. Bcbmi t. of Athens. from o orvations made during seventeen years,fouud that the mean hourly number of luminous meteors visible on e clear moonless night by one observer was fourteen, taking the time of observation from midnight to l e.m. It has been further experimentally shown that a large group of observers who might include the whole horizon in their observations would am about six times as many as are visible to one eye. Professor H. A. Newton and others have calculated that. making all proper corrections. the number which might be visible over the whole earth would be a little greater than 10,000 times as many as could be seen at one place. From 6 this we gather that not less than 20.000.000 luminous meteors fell upon our planet .iaily, each of which in a dark clear ni ht i would present us with the welLknown p e- nornsnon of a shooting star. This number. however, by no means : represents the total number of minute meteorites that enter our atmosphere. because many entirely invisible to the naked eye are often seen in telescopes. It has been calculated that the number of . meteorites. if these were included. would be ,' increased at least twenty-fold. This would give us «100,000,000 of meteorites falling in the enrih’s atmoephere daily.â€"â€"llarpzr'r Magazine. -.-â€" uitiuloo Lost. “ I lost forty thousand dollars by a peri- odical attack of nervous sick headache.” said a Chicago capitalist to a correspondent, pointing across the street toe handsome corner lot.
