Hints to Bathers.

At this warm season, when bathing 10 so
popular, it will be we'll to observe the follow
ng practical hints, which we take from the
London Sirpenny Magazine.
"On first plunging into cold water there
comes a shock which drives the blood to the
central parts of the system. But immediate
ly reaction takes place, which is assisted
by the exercise of swimming, producing, even
in water of low temperature an agreeable
warmth. The stay in the water should new
er be prolonged beyond the period of this ex-
element. If the water be left while this
warmth continues, and the body Immediate
ly dried. the healthy glow over the whole sur
face will be delightful
TO remain IN the water after the first re.
action is over, produces prolonged ehillness.
a shrinking Of the flesh and contraction OF
the skin, By no means favorable to health or
enjoyment for it is only in water thorough
ly warmed by the summer heat. where we
may bstbe for many hours with IMMUNITY.
Certain precautions are necessary. Mod.
crate exercise, by summoning into action the
powers of the system. and quickening the
circulation, is better than inactivity. We
should never go into water Immediately after
a meal, nor while the process of digestion is
going forward. Nor should We plunge into
the water when violently heated or in a state
of profuse perspiration. Such imprndences
are often fatal especially if the water he IN
usually cold If too wsrm. the temperature
of the body may be reduced by bathing the
wrists aud wetting the head.
Before meals rather than after, and spe
cially before breakfast and before supper are
proper seasons for bathing The heats of the
day are to be avoided, but In very hot wealth
er. a bath is useful to cool the blood. and Sc
cure refreshing sleep. If in the middle OF
the day. shaded..place should be chosen. or
the head protected from the sun by being
kept wet, by wearing straw hat. is
practised by the fashionable French ladies at
their watering places.
1.-The sea is the best place for swimming
Owing to the greater specific gravity of salt
water than fresh. the body is more buuyanf
In it, as are other substances. A ship com
ing out of salt water into fresh, sinks percep-
tibly In the water The difference is nearly
equal TO the weight of the salt held in solu
ton 6 sa4t-
1.-The bottom should be of hard sand, grav.
ell or smooth stones. Sharp stones and shells
cut the feet-weeds may entangIe them
The swim mer must avoid floating grass and
quicksand. The new beginner must be care
ful that the water dues not run beyond his
depth. and that the current cannot carry him
lnfo deeper place, ag-o that there be no
holee IN the blttom.- As persons are ever III
able to accidents, caanps. etc., il j. always
best hat boys or girls should be accom- pan
led by those who are older than themselves,
and who will be able 60 save them in any
emergency" '

This season bids fair 70 be a great fruit ssas-.

apples, pears, apricots, and peaches; 40 yet,
however, in small quantities. The fruit deal
erss are now receiving their supplies from
Golden. Union county, in this state. Being
an extreme southern locality, it's warm eli
mate is we'll adapted to the growth OF early
fruit The soil is billy. generally, and dry.
Consequently it Ia the sweet fruit producing
country of Illinois. The first peaches OF the
season are grown there. One hrm near TINS

they will soon get large supplies OF peaches.
A farmer in this section estimates that he
will be able to send to our marts this season
upwards of Il. 900 boxes Of peaches. He has
900 bearing trees. all in fine filth.
From these fruitful localities Chicago also
obtains its earliest strawberries. The first
car load of this delicious fruit that reached
us this summer, was shipped from the gar
dens Of Golden. There are now on the way
to this city several large invoices of early to-
matoes, from the same place. They will
soon be displayed for sale. and will lind hun
ireds Of buyers although the cost Of produ
cling them thus early will necessitate high pri
css. Illinois, unlike many fher sister states,
is not under obligations to the east for hsr
early fruit. The marts of New York are sup

Consequently the money expended goes into

There is but one kind of fruit that the sol
of Illinois refuses to bear the grape. AL

quite successfully, it does not grow in great
abundance anywhere in the state. Chicago
