What IR Worn In tlio Uoynl Court of
the Qucon.
The duke of Cambridge , writes the
London correspondent of the Now York
World , is one ot the most noticeable fig
ures in the royal circleof England. I
had a front scat within a few fool of the
platform where all of the royalties wore
assembled upon the occasion of the lay
ing of the corner-stone of the Jubilee in
stitute , and so had a good opportunity
for inspecting the notables who were
present on that occasion. The duke ol
Cambridge very much resembles General
Sherman in his inability to remain quiet
for any length of time. He was con
tinually rushing about , and from the
beginning to the close of the ceremo
nies ho did not once sit down.
This nominal commandor-in-oliiof of
the English army is very tall ,
lie is over six feet in height ,
but thora is a slight sloop in his shoul
ders which detracts from his military
bearing. His head is largo nnd nearly
bald ; the little hair which he has left is
combed in thin gray wisps over the top
of his tapering skull. About the base of
his nock his imir is still qulto thick ; his
forehead is full and lined with wrinkles ;
his eyebrows are bushy and beetling ,
standing out like a thick hedge round n
pair of blue , good-natured looking eyes.
His check bonus are high nnd red. His
nose is large , bulging and very irregular
In shupo. It is not an aristocratic none.
I have scon genial London oabmon with
similar noses cabmen who hud been exposed -
posed to the weather for many years.
A pale , iron-gray mustache anil thick ,
close-cropped side whiskers set oil
the broad , full face of the duke. His
chin is double. He wore on this occasion
a akin-tight , flaming scarlet full dross
coat. There was very little gold lace
upon the coat. A heavy gold orna
mented bolt encircled his ponderous tig-
tire. A light blue sash orer his left
boulder Blood out in striking contrast
against the scarlet background of the
coat. Pink skin-tight breeches met hia
high patent-leather boots at the knee ; a
black cocked hat with a white plume he
carried under his left arm. I constantly
hoard friendly comments from English
admirers of the duko. Said ono : r'Oli ,
be is so h'auablu. " The fact that thh
distinguished parsonage could smile was
constantly dwelt upon us a proof of hi ;
most remarkable amiability.

The MarquiH of Salisbury , the prime
minister , who stood at the head of th <
group of ministers near the royalties ,
was looking very tired and worn. Ho ii
aid to be very much wcrricd over the po
litical situation and he is beginning U
feel that power is slipping away froir
him. He is about the same lijrure as tlu
Duke of Cambridge ; ho is equally tall
equally stout and tins about the aami
stoop in his shoulders. He ha1
thn strong , sleepy features o
a man of power the unmistakabli
countenance of a statesman. His head i
Tory round and full ; he is even mon
bald than the Uuku of Cambridge. In
deed , it is the exception where an Kng
liih public man is not bald very early ii
life. Of all the royalties grouped to
getbor on the day of this Institute then
was not a single man who had a goot
crop of hair on the top of his head. Thi
Murqtils of Salisbury has a heavy , pen
dcrous look of fatigue- and indiderencu
His face only lights up in a sluggish wr : "
when he is engaged in1 conversation. Hi"
complexion is quite sallow for tin Eng
llahman. He has a very broad , full fore
bead , deeply sot dark eyes , n straigh
nose , a broad , full faoo , the lower part o
which is concealed by a silky , browi
beard nnd mustucho. Underneath hi
eyes he has the full , putl'y look indi
cative of volubility in speech. Th
lines underneath his eyes are very deep
There Is a bluish tinge underneath th
lids signs of fatigue and worry. All o
the cabinet ministers were in uniform
This uniform is very handsome and 1m
coming. The coat is military cut , svith :
high standing collar. This collar is bro
catlcd with a hoary gold or aranfti |
flcuro. The coat is buttoned with a sin
clo row of gold buttons as snugly nbou
the Hguro as the uniform of a Lit
Guardsman. The cuffs on the sleeve
are ornamented in the sauio way as th
collar. Ou the hips there are Haps indi
eating pockets. Those * Haps arc covorei
with gold ornamentations , iiroad got
stripes follow the line , of the tiowini
wide trousers. This uniform , from It
and dark color , is very bccon
ng. The various members 'of the C.ibl-
let were upon the breasts of their coats
the ordon to winch they Were entitled.

A similar style of court dress is worn
> y a largo number of the civil olliclals of
.ho government. Indeed , every olllclal
tnprovcs an npporttinity to cut the black
evening dress otdinarily worn in private
life. They retain in Jr.nghi.id in every
) osslblo way the picturesque dress of the
> ast. The heralds and the knights who
ircccded the queen upon tno , occasion I
lave just mentioned were dressed ex
actly as they were 800 years ngo. The
advocates , tlio high Irw-court omccrs of
of England , wear to-day upon all olllclal
occasions the dross of several centuries
ago. The barristers who plead before
: ho courts wear the wig and gown of the
last. They adhere to this additional
ln\ss with the most remarkable tenacity.
I have asked numbers of the legal pro-
cssion if they do not object to wearing
hcse wigs and gowns. Their reply has
been in tlio negative , saying that they
would nol upon any account give lliem
up. This relonlion of all of Ihe pictur
esque costumes of Iho past adds great in

IRRIGATION IN ARIZONA.

St. Lniiit Olrjtymocrat. .
Judge James 11. Wright , of Prcscott ,
A. T. , Uhiof Justice of the Territory , ar
rived in the city last night and registered
nt the Lacledc. In answer to n question
of a ( tlobe-Deinourat reporter concern
ing the mining prospects of Arizona
Judge Wright said : "Tho prospect is
brighter to-day than It has been for tov-
eral years ; in fant , the outlook
never was so favorable. The Vulture -
turo mine , thirty miles from Pros-
cotl , has commenced operations , nnd
will produce more copper than over be
fore. This mine Is probably the richest
in the world. Larga additions have rec
ently been made to the working capital ,
and the outmtt will probably be trebled.
A largo amount of eastern capital has
lately been invested in gold and silver
properties near Prescott , and those who
have purchased are very confident of
largo returns. Three or four weeks ago
oudge Ulodgett , of Chicago , and Colonel
Fordycc , of St. Louis , were in Prescott
for the purpose of examining the Etta
mine , a cold property near the Vulture ,
nnd I understand that the mine has been
purchased within a week .or two , and that
work will bo at oneo commenced. "
"how about the general condition of
the territory , Judge Wright ? "
"Few people have any idea of Ihe great
increase in population and production
that has taken place within the last three
years. The I'htunlx , 100 miles south of
Prescott. may bo taken as an instance.
Three years ago there was simply a
straggling village there. Colonel Clark
Churchill , of Arkansas , formerly attorney
general of the territory , conceived the
idea that the vallev of the Salt river , in
which Plurnix is situated , might be made
a great agricultural region. Ho sue-
cce ed in interesting a number of caui-
tnlisits in the scheme , nnd formed a
company called the Arizona Canal com
pany. This company commenced work
on the Verdi river , seventy-live miles
nway , and diverted the entire stream
to the Salt river valley. The canal was
completed two yours ago , and worked a
complete change in that district. A
sandy plain 400,000 acres in extent was
changed into the most fertile region I
over saw. Splendid wheat is raised , at
least five crops of alfalfa hay are cut an
nually , an orange grove haabeon started ,
a largo number of fig trees have been
planted and are now producing magnifi
cent fruit , and they are growing a better
raisin grape than ever Los Angeles can
show. The land is worth from $40 to
$000 per acre , and the projectors of the
canal have made fortunes. > rom a mere
hamlet Phrenix has grown to bo n city of
0,000 inhabitants , and within a few years
I expect to sco 50.000 people living in the
Salt river valley. "
"Are other sections equally prosper
ous ! "
At present Phcenix is the most nour
ishing town in the territory , but I expect
to see other places follow In its footsteps
before long. The great problem to be
solved by tlio peopln of Arizona is the
water question. A number of romuanics
have been formed within the past year
for the purpose of boring artesian wnlls
on a largo scale. A still more important
movement in Ihe direction of building
great reservoirs for irrigating purposes
has been set on foot within the last few
months , and is backed with ample
capital to give the sehemo a full
and fnir trial. The idea is to
build dams across certain water
courses , and keep tlio water , that falls in
great quantities during the months of
July and August , for the irrigating
season. If necessary these reservoirs
will bo roofed over to protect them from
the sun , nud all who have examined the
matter express the utmost faith in the
success of the plan. Work has already
been commenced near Prescott , as well
as at several other places , and if the
scheme proves to be a success , the future
of Arizona is assured.
Judge Wright will remain in the city
until Sunday next , when tie will return
to Prescott , accompanied by bis family.

Why Some hakes nre SaU.
Isaac Kinley in Popular Soiencn
Monthly : The cause of the saltness of
some American lake * is too patent to re
quire many words of explanation. It is
possible that , whoo the continents wore
raised from the sea , the lake-basins had
been alread formed and cauuio up , there
fore , briwful ot water. In the northern
and eastern part of the continent , where
the water supply from ruin and snowfall
exceeds the loss by evaporation , the salt
being continuously carried away through
their outlets , has become so diluted as tc
bo as imperceptible quantity ,
in arid regions , as the Pu
cilic slope and the country about
the Caspian , whore the evaporation was
in excess of the supply , the water level
of the lakes continuously sank until , on
account of the diminished extent of sur
face , the cqailibrium of loss and gain was
attained. Hcnco the oxcueding saltiness
of Great Salt lake , the Dead sen , etc. Foi
a like reason the water of the Medittorrsv
ne'an contains more salt relatively than
that of the ocean. Evaporation exceed
ing the supplies from the rivers and
rainfalls , it requires a constant
current through the Strait of Gin-
r altar. The same is true of the
Hod sou , causing a like current
throug h ths Strait of Hob-ol-Mandcb
Other stilt or brackish lakes iirobablj
owe their witness to the supplies from
the land. Water being the moit general
of all solvents , the rains gather up the
chloride of sodium from the soils nnd the
disintcrgrating rooks , and where tin !
streams fall into lakes whoso only outlel
is evaporation , the land itsnlf must ha a
constant source of fallne supply , ant !
their milt waters mnit becointi nnro and
more salt , until their capacity as a sol
vent has been roaohct , .
The Utnri basin must once have been
lillcd to the brim with ocean water. The
outlet h.-is been evaporation. The lake ,
rmidinto its present level , has lefl
many evidences of its former extent.

THE HEALTH GIVING BATH ,
How nnd Where to Enjoy the Luxury Given
to Eicli and Poor Alike ,
THE EFFECTIVE ' 'COLD PACK. '
Dathcra With Vivid Imaginations
Tlio Origin of tlio Unth-Tlio
riutijce Shower Interesting
Instructions.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat : When Iho
surface of the body is exposed to the
action of a lluid or gas with which it is
not ordinarily in contact , or when unus
ual conditions are present , n bath is said
lo bo taken. Hence water , vapor and hot
or cold air balhs are among those in ordi
nary use , while oil , milk , wlnoand llutds
variously medicated have been employed
for bathing. The cll'ccts piodttcod by
baths are brought about by modifying
the temperature of the skin and , through
that , of the blood and enliro body , and
various ell'ects upon the nervous systum ,
many of thorn , doubtless , through the
modilications of temperature just re
ferred lo , but also by btlnnilalion or
sooilung ollccls cxcrlod upon Iho nerve
oudlngs in Iho skin , whence the ccnsory
effects are transmitted to the grcal ner
vous centers in the spinal cord nnd
brain.
The akin serves two extremely impor
tant purposes : It protects the internal
parts against external injury , and by
means ot the perspiration thrown out by
the innumerable sweat glands , it acts as
the great regulator of the tomperaluro
of the entire systum. Under ordinauy
condilions about thirty ounces of lluid
are cvaporaled from the surface , and
this consists almost exclusively of water.
Under Ihe inlltienco of certain drugs , or
of dry heat applied to the surface , Ihi.s
amount may be greatly exceeded even
rising to two , three or more pounds
within ii fuw hours. When the kidnovs
are not in good working order the skin
may take their place ; to some degree , in
removing poisonous waste products from
the body. In health tlwro is little ma
terial of lliis kind thrown out by the sink
about liajf an ouneu .19 a daily average.
The skin is provided with glands which
furnish an oily substance which keeps the
the external surface pliable and not liable
lissures. This , when mixed with perspi
ration and particles of dust and the
small amount of organic matters before
mentioned , soon decomposes and becomes -
comes more or less irritating , as well as
odorous. The surface is composed of
hard , dry scales ( epithclibni ) , which are
continually being shed and replaced by
new ones ; Ihoso mix with the other mat
ters referred to , nnd contribute to iin-
cleanliness of person and to nituto the o
subslancos irritating lo tlio integument
and , as a natural consequence , a most
potent factor in exciting disease in this
protective covering. Animal and veget
able parasites find in an unwashed skin
the situations best suited lo their growth
and development.
tt'ATEU BATH * .
The use of baths of hot or warm water
was at first probably , for Ihe .sake of
personal cleanliness. Amonir Iho an
cient ( Jroeks and Romans , who gave
great attention to physical culture , theio
balhs were brought to croat perfection.
They also understood the tonic uttoets of
the cold bath , and the bcnolicial results
lo bo had from Iho hot bath in some dis
eases. The savage , ancient or modern ,
regards not cleanliness , and man must
make some progress toward civilization
before ho appreciates Iho benefits of the
bath from any point of view. If the sav-
ngo over employs a bath of an kindy il is
with an idea of producing some ell'ect
upon an evil spirit to be dislodged from
the body of the bather. Hence the more
horribly disgusting and ollensivo the sub-
sUmco dissolved in the "medicine" bath ,
the better for the success of the primitive
practitioner. Some of the wise lawgivers
ers among the Oriental nations have con
ceived such a high opinion of the efficacy
of the bath that they have enjoined upon
the people the daily practice of bathing ,
and fixed it lirmly by making it
a religious ceremony : This is an import
ant part of the cult of Islam and has
probably had considerable to do with the
succe.s of that religion. If the follower
of the Prophet cannot obtain water lor
his daily ablutions , he must expose his
skin to the aclion of the sand of the des
ert , or at least to the dry wind which
blows over these wastes.
In the use of water for balhing pur
poses , the temperature of the bath is of
the very greatest importance. The ca
pacity for heat displayed by water is not
equaled by any substance known. The
ellVcla of withdrawing heat from tha
body are most marked. When the heat
is rapidly reduced far below lhat of
health 09.4 degrees Fiircnhcit. the ef
fects arcs comparable only with those of
mechanical violeuco. When the heat
developed in the body is not permitted
to ct-capo , or when it is increased to any
great extent , the results arc fully as dis
astrous.
Tor practir-al purposes , then , the bath
in water without any attention to what
it may contain in solutmn- to bo re
garded from thn standpoint of tempera
ture. If the water is at a temperature
anywhere helow CO degrees P. , it is to bo
considered as "cold ; " from CO to 75 de
grees it is "cool ; " from 75 to 85 negroes
His "temperate ; " from 8.1) to 03 degrees
it is "tepid ; " from 02 to 03 degrees ilia
"warm , " and if it bo over 98 degrees , it
is a "hot bath. " Sometimes the "gradu
ated bath" is recommended ; this means
a bath at 00 to 100 degrees into which
the bather enters , nnd the temperature
of which is gradually lowered , by the
addition of cold water , to the extent of
25 or SO degrees in the course of half an
hour.
There aio b number of varieties of
bath at each temperature. Thus , if the
entire body is submerged , it is a full
bath ; if the feet only are Immersed , it is
a foot bath , etc. Sponging the entire
surface is an easy and convenient means
of securing most of the advantages of
the full bath , while the trouble of the
latter expense alf > o ) , is avoided. If cold
water is used , the skin is stimulated and
the nervous system receives all the tonic
ofTccts lo bo had from bathing. The
shower-bath is still more ( stimulating to
the nerves and skin. If it is cola , there
may bo considerable risk of doing in
jury. This is true of all forms of "cold"
baths. No ono with degenerated hearts
or arteries should incur the dangers of
the cold "full" or "shower bath. " The
first effect of the application of cold to
the skin is to cause a sudden contraction
of the small blood-vessels , thus driving
Mie blood in upon the central organs.
An additional strain is thus placed upon
the vessels of the lutigs. brain , in fact ,
of the whole interior department. If
their walls have been weakened by dis
ease , they may give way , apoplexy or
rupture of an aneurism may follow Iho
injudicious application of cold bathing.
In infanta nnd the aged , reaction docs
not readily follow the external applica
tion of cold. If tlm roost vigorous indi
vidual plungc.s into water at GO to 40 ° or
lc. s , the Um eO'tict is to cause a shock to
the entire system , the blood leaves the
surface , which becomes cold and blue ,
the skin shrinks , the breath is drawn
spasmodically ami in many there is a
tendency toward "cramping" or spasm ,
in the muscles. The temperature of the
entire body rapidly falls sometimes
nearly 10 ° , as shown by the thermome
ter in the mouth. If the individual re
mains a.few minutes in the bath , especi
ally if he makes active muscular move
ments , as in swimming , the condition ol
shock passes elf and the temperature
rises nearly to tlio point of ordinary
health. If movements are not made , if
Iho temperature is Milt further reduced
bodily heat occurs , and with it a fooling
of great exhaustion.
It has been noticed that in cases of
shipwreck tlioso wl\usu \ bodies were kept
submerged outlived tltoso exposed to al
ternate wetting and drying , if the bath
is left during the first stage of reaction ,
or before this occurs undlictivo oxorolso
with friction of Hie surface so as lo bring
Ihe blood and heat back to the surface ,
be practiced , then the cold balh is
ant lo do much good * If reacllon , the
glow of surface -.luid . active opening
out of the blood vcasuli of the skin do
not promptly occtir jf chilly feeling with
repeated shivering1 ; arc , found to follow
cold balhing , it is doing harm and should
bo abandoned. This form of balhing
should never bo resorted to when the
body is exhausted and losing heat by
evaporation of the pcrspiralion. It does
no harm , rather is useful in preventing
"catching cold"when taken in the shape
of a cold plunge or shower , when the
body Is overcharged with heat from tlio
Turkish or Russian bath , or iu fevers ,
Of course , in such cases care must betaken
taken not to reduce the temperature
much below that of health.
THI : COLD uATir.
The best time for the cold balh , when
taken habiltially , Is in the morning while
Iho body is blill warm from the bed. A
momentary plunge , spoiling of the sur
face , or shower , followed uy brick fric
tions with the llcsh brush or rough towel ,
ncls as a line tonic upon those who road
promptly from the chill. All others
should content themselves with Iho "cool"
bath 00 ° to 76 ° F.
The effects of the cool b.ith are exactly
Iho same as those jusl describedonly not
so severe. It forms a good introduclion
lo ll'.u cold balh for Ihoso who find it de
sirable lo undergo a process of harden
ing. The temperature should bo very
gradually reduced , and care should
bo taken to secure prompt and full reac
tion , otherwise even Iho cool balh may
do damage.
Sea bathing should nol bo Inkcn if Iho
weather Is bulow IX ) degrees F. The salts
dissolved in sea water amount lo about
ono ounce lo Iho quart , and add a stimu
lation tollie nerves of the skin not to bo
obtained from fresh-water bathing. The
dash of waves , the muscular exertion
nocesiary to preserve Iho balance and lo
resist Iho movements of thu water , add
gro'illy lo Hie stimulating or rather tonic
elVecls'of sea bathing Auoul three hours
after meals Is thu best time to take a
pea bath , and ealing should not bo in
dulged in until full reaction is secured
after the bath.
( Joel and cold baths are among the
meal valuable of the means at our com
mand in the treatment of fover.s of all
kinds. Thu high temperature adds enor
mously to the dancer of these discuses.
In pneumonia , typhoid , typhus , and the
eruptive fevers the reduction of tempera
ture is one ot the objeels to be attained
by treatment. Cold sponcing of the en
tire surface can be applied to any case ,
m matter how great the weakness , with
out risk of adding to the exhaustion. It
the cold bath is usi/jOt / is well to first
give a liltlo wine or _ liiiiuted brandy or
whisky before placing a weak patient in
the balh. The Iotnp7ul'aluro nhould bo
watched by means oftlu ; thermometer m
the mouth , and when reduced to the
natural degree ( US.4 dfCrees ) , the patient
should be removed and brisk rubbing of
the .surface .should be kepi up iiulil
warmth returns. It sfioiild be remem
bered thai it is impossible lo''catch cold"
as long as fever is present. This is a bugbear -
boar of great proporllcms llial has often
aroused strong opposition to the use of
this most important of measures lo com
bat fever.
Thn "cold pack" h ( a very effective
way of securing moat Of the bcnelits of
the cold bath in fevers. The mode of
applying it is as follows : A shoot is
wrung out of cold water tlio colder the
better and spread upbn a smooth mat
tress. The patient , divested of all rai
ment , is placed upon this , the arms
folded and the lower limbs close together.
The sides of the sheet are then carefully
wrapped about the limbs , HO that oppos
ing surfaces are separated. One or two
comforts or a light feather bed should
then cover all securely. The chill of the
surface is soon followed by full reaction ;
thu heat of the body is promptly carried
away , and a feolinp of comfort and lan
guor succeeds which is very soothing ,
bleep may. be secured in this way for the
maniac , the patient delirious witli fever ,
or the victim of insomnia , after failure
of the moat poworf ul narcolics. If Iho
object is simply to reduce the tempera-
lure , Iho "pack" should DO repealed as
soon as reaclion has fully doveloucd
in about lifteon minutes. Four "wet-
sheet packs" are about as effective as ono
"full" cold bath.
In some cases the cold bath does not
secure the required reduction of fever.
The oold seems to drive the superheated
blood away from the surface , and this
without cooling anything more lhan a
little of it nearest the surface. In these
the "wet pack , " or even the warm bath ,
acts very well , by bring ; the circulating
lluid to the surtaco , where it
can part with its heat by
radiation. When cold applications
fail to do good this nractical point should
bo remembered. The "graduated bath"
is especially suited to reducing the tem
perature when it does not run very high ,
especially if the patient is rather weak
and does not appear ablu to sustain the
shock of the cool or cold bath. If decided
chilliness is induced , it should bo discon
tinued and brisk frictions be used until
reaction is fully established. If reaclion
should be brought about with dillictilty ,
as may happen when robust persons
have been plunged in cold water for un
usual periods in cold weather , for in
stance , warm applications should be
made to the extrometios and to the "pit
of the stomach , " and brisK frictions
made over the entire surtaco. The warm
( not hot ) bath is also of much service in
dangerous chilling of the bociy.
Individuals who are too weak to endure
the shock of tlm cool or cold bath may
secure many of thn tonic baths of cither
by using the "cold air bath. " The air
should be dry and ptire _ ; the clothing re
moved , and exorcise bo taken with
dumb-bells or the Indian clubs , while
sunlight , if it can be had at the sumo
time , adds to the tonic influence. The
tonic effects of cold are of great value ,
but care must alwaysha * taken that the
matter is not overdone , otherwise harm
will result. ' ' "
TEl'ID AND WARM BATHS.
The topld bath is a1 uelicious restora
tive after prolonged fatigue , such as a
journey. It is soothta * lo the nervous
system and cleansing to the skin. Homer
tolls us that the old Greeks treated their
guests to the tepid balh nd rubbing the
skin with some bland oil after Iho balh
was thought a plcasan SWcl to the lat
ter. t < > , i
The warm bath is that most employed ,
with a viw to its modicjnal action. The
effects are soothing to the nervous sys
tem and also to the skjTitsolf. relieving
many disagreeable sensations connected
with various skin diseases. The warm
bath may bo "medicated" in a variety of
e ways. An acid bath may contain ono
and ono-half ounces pf strong nitric
acid , with ono ounce of strong muriatic
acid , to tnirty gallons of walcr. This
nitro-muriatic acid balh is supposed to
bo useful in diseases of the liver , but this
is doubtful ; il is of benefit in some forme
os eczema , urticaria ( "nettle rash" ) , and
of her skin affections marked by inlolora
btfci itching. Other cases are bonolittod
by the alcalmo bath , containing foui
ounces of carbonate of soda , or carbon
ate of potash , to thirty gallons of warn :
water. Uorax , two ounces , and one-hall
pound of starch , in each alkaline bath ,
are thought to make it still more sooth
ing to the system and softening to the
skm.
skm.Tho warm sulphur bath is dccidcdlj
stimtilating.bosidcs-acting us a specific In
tha parasitic skin disease called the Itch.
It mhy bo made by dissolving four
ounces of sulphurated potash ( liver of
sulphur ) in thirty gallons of water. The
bathtub shculd bo of wood and the stay
In the bath should bo thirty miuulcs.
The natural sulphur waters nro useless
for this special form of bath , because
none ol tliein conlains enough sulphur
lo wake It elfuctlve as a destroyer ol the
itch insect.
The warm bath is sometimes modified
by the addition ot mult or bran which
makes Ihom rallicr more soothing , or by
pine Iroo needles ( loaves ) or her.Jj like
chumomilo , mini , calamus , clover blos
soms , etc. . which make them more slim-
ulaling. In some condilions Ian bark ,
four to six pounds to the bath , may bo
used ; tlm tannin set free in thn water has
an astringent ell'ect , desirable in some
skin diseases. Or ground mustard , three
to six ounces lo Ihe balh of thirty gallons
lens may bo used to increase Iho filiimi-
lal'.tig ' clfucl. The nitislard bath should
bo used with caution in cases of infantile
diseases , like convulsions , etc. , or the
irriiallon of Iho skin may be carried too
far , and Iho ultimata cll'eets of the balh
prove more harmful lhan llio original
disease. Common salt is a good nntlsafo
addition lo Iho balh , when it Is thought
well to increase its stimulating ulfects ;
one or two pounds may be added to the
bath of thirty gallons , less foi iufanls or
very fceblo adults.
BATHS IN GHNEllAL.
The "son-bait" has
so-ctillod natural - no
properties which make it preferable lethe
the common sail of the shops for bathing
purposes. The bog , peat or mud bath is
simply a warm bath to which swamp mud
lias been added. Such a mixture istirob-
ably a little more stimulating than the
ordinary steam bath , nnd may produce
some effect through the medium of Iho
imagiuulion nol to bo had from the balh
of clear waler. Some cases of paralysis
( hysU'rlcal ? ) a 'o reported as having baen
rapidly cured by the bog or peal bath.
The warm sulphur balh has also homo
repulation in Ihe treatment of paralysis ,
especially from lead poisoning or from
the ill effects of mercury. Chronic
rheumatism is occasionally helped by
any of ihe forms ot warm bath men
tioned.
Hot baths increase the amount of pcr-
suirnlion and raise Iho heat of the body.
Whun given the , head should bo kepi
cool iiiul iho slay not bo prolonged.
Rapid cooling , by a plunge into cold
water , or by the cold "shower , " after the
hot bath , is desirable. It prevents
"catchingcold,1' prevents too much
depression. Tne hot air or Turkish bath
is Iho best way of obtaining Iho advan
tages of the hot bath. The mint may bo
carried high to 125 or 150 degrees , or
oven 200 Fahrenheit without harm , so
long as Iho uir is dry and the head is
kept cool. This is thu best form of bath
for the victims of Hright's disease , or
any alfectiou in which it is necessary to
increase the skin's action. The heat
must not bo carried very high if Ihe
heart apd arteries have become dam
aged , as is sure lo be tlio case In the
lalesl slages of chronic kidney diseases.
Thn cold plunge should succeed Iho
Turkish balh , when the body is prespir-
ing freely because of active exercise just
taken or from exposure lo a high ex
ternal temperature , a sudden chilling of
the surface deus no harm. The Roman
youth used to plunge into the Tiber
when bathed in porspiralion following
athlectic exercise and no harm followed
Iho procccuuro , but Alexander the Great
nearly lost his life from a plunge into Iho
icy Uyanus after an exhausting march.
The Russian or vapor bath produces
nearly the sumo effects as thai of hoi air ,
but the temperature must not be above
110 o to 130o F. Vapor confines the
heat ; does not convoy it away like hot ,
dry air. Hut the effects of increasing
the aclion of the sweat-glands and
raising the body heat are like those pro
duced by the full hot water or hot air
baths. The vapor bath , iu which the
body is enclosed in a box or cabinet , or
covered by blankets , while the head is
not subjected to Iho aclion of the vapor ,
makes a more comfortable nnd just as
olfecltve a "steam bath" as the most
elaborate Russian bath house can fur
nish. Frictions , kneading of the mus
cles , etc. , form useful adjuncts to all
forms of the hot-air and vapor baths.
The body , or any part thereof , may bo
covered with warm or hot sand. A
higher heat can be applied in Ihis way
lhan by hoi water or steam. The hot
sand balh Is suuposed lo be generally
useful in chronic joint diseases of rhcu-
malic origin.
The clcclric balh was at ono limn ex-
peeled lo do wonders , but fnw have faith"
that it will accomplish moro than can be
had from Ihe use of electricity and baths
separately. There seem to bo no speoial
advantages to bo secured from a combin
ation of the two.
A Komerty Per Chills nnd Fever.
RoonnsTiut , N. Y. , Dec. 10,1885.
Four years ago I contracted a hard
cold that settled on uiy lungs. I had a
severe chill , followed by high fever ,
raging headache , pain on my left side
over the lung , and every time a fit of
coughing came on , which was every few
minutes , it was terrible to bear the pain.
I thought it meant nn attack of pneumo
nia , as I went through a two-months
siege of that disease , and it came on just
thu same way. As it was nighl I lliought
I would wait until morning before send
ing for a doolor Forlunaloly , a half-
box of ALLCOOK'S Pouous PLASTKIIS was
found in the possession of a friend who
boarded with us. One ot these was put
on my throal , two on my chest , and ono
on my back over the loft shoulder blade.
I then had a hoi foot-bath. After again
getting into bed , it seemed but a few
minuted when all my symptoms were re
lieved ; the skin became quite moist ; I
coughed only at intervals , and then wilh
very little clforl , and in about an hour I
was in a sound sleep , from which I din
not awake until morning , I resumed
business in two days.
H. F. FLUTCIIKU.
Clears From Stnmps.
Boston Herald : " 'Snipo' hunting ,
sonny ? " asked a reporter , about 4 o'clock
yesterday morning of a boy who had
stooped and picked up something out of
the street in front of the Boston and
Main railroad station.
"No ; I'so spicking 'bulls , ' " replied Ihe
yeungslcf.
"Well , you call that 'snipe' hunting ,
don't you ? " said the Herald man.
"Somo of the boys call 'em 'snipes,1
' ' . ' "
bull calls'em'bulls.
The boy was an Italian , about nine
years of age , and while talking to the re
porter , was industriously storing away
cigar stumps , picked up from the gutter ,
in a bag mndo of ticking ; which hung on
his left arm by a long tnpn. The bag
would hold perhaps two Cquarts , and the
lad , at that early hour , had it about one-
third tilled.
"What do you do with the stumps ? "
'Isells 'em. "
"Soil them , to whom ? "
"To a man who makes cigars of Vm.
Ho gives mo 25c for this bag full. Some
times when I gets nice long ones ho
gives me 5c moro. Ila cuts 'am up and
puts'em iusido good cigars"said Ihe
youngster , probably meaning that his
employer used them for'tilling wilh first-
class tobacco for wrappers.
"Do you fill that bag every morning t"
"Oh , yes ! 1 tills it twice , and some
times after holidays like Ihe Fourth of
July , I could lill it n Imlf a do/.cn timrs.
bul then I lake a bigger bag. I makes t < "
or $ In week iu the summer time , nnd
gees to school , too , when school keeps ,
but in the wintertime you can't get many
'bulls , ' 'cent when there's no snow on
the ground.
"Tnc man has lots of boys working for
him and ho buys all wo can bring him.
Ho sells the chjara for IQc and 15c
apiece. "
