ADVICE TO b',trmrimw-The following advice is given to bathers by the Royal Humane Society of England :--Avoid bathing within two or three hours aftera. meal. Avoid bathing when ex- hausted from fatigue or any other cause. Avoid bathing altogether in the open air if after being a short time in the water it, causes a sense of chill- ness with numbness of the hands and feet. Bathe when the body is warm, provided no time is lost in getting Into the water. Avoid chilling the body by sitting or standing undressed on the banks or in boats after having been in the water. Avoid remaining too long in the water; leave the water immediately if there is the slightest feeling of chillness. The vigorous and the strong may bathe early in the morning on an empty stomach. The young and those who are weak had better bathe two or three hours after a meal-the best time for such is two or three hours after breakfast. Those who are subject to giddiness or faint- ness, and those who suffer. from palpitr ations and other sense of discomfort at the heart, should not bathe without first consulting their medical adviser. \VATERLOO BICYCLE CLUB. ___ Only seven wearers of the yellow and black turned out last Tuesday evening for the regular run of the Waterloo Bi- cycle Club.

In these days of sensational news- papers when much which is unfit for family reading is inserted because it is likely to attract readers, it is a pleas- ure for us to recommend Toronto Sat- urday Night as being thoroughly clean, wholesome and improving. The illus- stations are numerous, artistic, humor- ous and timely ; the faces of the great men and women of the decade and re- productions of celebrated paintings being the leading pictorial features. The articles on the questions of the day are admittedly of a high class while being exceedingly entertaining and certain to attract and hold the attention of young people as well as older readers. Musical matters, the drama, and everything socially 1requis- ite to the enlargement of the mind and cultivation of good habits, is made a feature of this excellent publication. Two serial stories always of absorbing interest but pure in tone and by the best authors, are to be found in Satrus day nigus--and bye the way, they can be found nowhere else as they are copy rights of the best English publications which have not appeared in Canada The independence and friendliness of tone so characteristic of this paper has made it the personal adviser of its readers and the strong attachment which seems to exist between the readers of Saturday Night and its edi- tors, is certainly unique. The only explanation which can be afforded is that all its articles are feigned and it has an individuality of a very pleasant sort which makes the reader feel pet'- sonally acquainted with each writer.

The leading story of the number, "The Backslidiug of Elder Pletus," by W. T. James, is illustrated, and gives a graphic picture, evidently from per- sonal acquaintance of the inside life of the Shaker community at South Union, Kent. ucky. "Accused by the Dead," by E. Meet}. Lawson, is very original and striking in plot and treatment. In “Sir John Thompson and his Critics," J. L. P. Hanley, C. E., makes a vigorous defense of the Canadian premier against the attacks made on that gentleman on account of his religious beliefs.

Brooks contributes, from his personal experience, a valuable article in "A Chapter from the North-West Rebell- ion," and E. Stewart, L D. s., "A Camp Experience." Illustrated articles, likewise from personal experience, are A. H Mots rison's "Mountain March," giving exquisite pictures of scenes in the Himalayas, and H. Spencer Howell's article on Hawaii-the latter of special interest at the present time. In "Upper Canada College," an illustrated article by W. Allan Neilson, the present and past of the famous Toronto school is interest- ingly treated.

Last year, Commandant Booth inaugurated a. plan for clearing poor corps and officers of debt, by instituting annual Harvest Festivals throughout the Dominion. This year, the dates will be as follows ". -Northwest and British Columbia, August 26th, 27th and 28th ; Ontario and Maritime Provinces, September 2nd, 3rd and 4th. In Toronto, there is to be a great Central Thanksgiving Exhibition from September 10th to the 15th, or the same dates on which the Toronto In- dustrial Exhibition is being held. Great efforts are being made by the local offieers and corps to canvass the town (or city) for contributions in kind of all description. Fruits, vegetables, grains, barley, oats, wheat, and even straw for the Circle Corps horses, all are solicited. A special point is being made too, to secure contributions of live stock, which will be sent forward to the Toronto Exhibition, to be used in supplying the Social Institutions of the Army with meat. Last year, three thousand dollars were netted in this way to assist the poor corps, and there is every prospect of 'a far larger sum than that bemg raised on this WYWS- ion Commandant Booth hopes, by this means, to replenish the store houses of the Social Institutions and homes for sick officers, so that it will be unnecesA sary to spend money on household goods. His contention is that, while the dollars are scarce, the land is over- ilowing with good things, and he calls those who have enough to eat and to spare to remember out of their plenty their more unfortunatefellow-creatures. The Toronto Exhibition promises to be a most attractive affair. Gifts of all kinds will be forwarded and taste- fully exhibited there. The Salvation- ists of the far West propose to contri~ bute wheat, cattle, and canned goods ; whereas Newfoundland is being asked to contribute tinned and dried fish, Wood, oil, and coal are also solicited, and manufacturers are being asked to give some of their wares. The most expensive legislature in the world is that of France, which costs annually b'3,000,000. The Italian par- liament costs $430,000 a year. The Salvation Army's Latest Scheme For Ralsing Money.
