RULES FOR Misunderstanding, like
other customs, should be governed by
strict regulations as to time, place and
circumstances. 1t Is not well to plunge
headlong into the water, especially
when the person is in n state of perspi
ration. The proper course to pursue,
aud which will, when followed, work
beneficially, is laid down in few rules
by recent writer on the subject of
bathing, as follows:
Baths should not be taken within at
least one hour before eating, nor within
two hours after: aud not within two
hours before, and three hours after is
still better.
The head and face should be thorough
~ bathed at the commencement Of every
bath. This will prevent the rushing of
the blood TO the head, and ward of I'M
pleasant sensations.
A Bal h should never be taken when the
body is exhausted, or too greatly IA
tigued by exercise, as person In such
condition would not be likely to secure
the proper reaction and warmth. Nod
crate exercise before bath is usually
beneficial, as 1t accelerates the circula-
ton and secures a comfortable degree OF
warmth, which is always desirable
before taking q bath. There is no dam
BCA SSsNAuS EChNh "a 80
Precipitation, poviding no fatigue ac-
companies it; for the sitz and foot
baths, however, II is better thar the body
be warm, aud not perspiring.
All general baths should be taken
briskly and the bather himself. if able,
should rub vigorously, that he may
quicken his circulation and respiration,
and thus secure the warmth and glowing
reaction that is so essential after every
bath this should be observed not only
while in the bath, but rubbing dry
amer II.
At the conclusion of the bath the
bather should Immediately dress liable,
exercise in the open air, or engage in
some active employment. If not able
20 exercise, II is well to cover up warm
in bed for an hour or SO, and sleep il
possible.
An invalid should not bathe in room
with the temperature below 40 degrees,
aud for most persons so or SO degrees
would be better, provided there would
be good ventilation. 81

How 10 Carve,

Carving is a very desirable accomplish
ment for both ladies and gentlemen, and
should be taught. One cannot learn it by
tuition, but by practice, joined by small
slice Of theory. 1t is true that the French
style a serving the meat sliced is fast ban
ishing the necessity Of carving at the table
Of the rich but in middle life, whore such
elegancies are not practised, knowledge
OF carving should be part of - boys or
girls education. How often do we hear q
person say: ooh, excuse me, can't carve;
/ never tried. Or, il it be attempted
one soon finds himself sadly embarrassed.

turkey il q dainty; that q wing is good; the
second Joint also, that the leg IL not 80
good But 1t IL not IN easy task to sepa-
rate them, .nd be thinks he would rather
chop wood than dress turkey, He does
not kaow that on the back lies doicate
morsel called the opster, and the side
bones below the second Joint are consi5-
cred tit-bits. This must be taught hmm.
Ladies ought especially to make carving "a
study; st the y own home the task often de-
wolves npon them, and they should
be able TO perform il with eese
and not be forced TO accept the
assistance OF visitors who would prob
ably dread the operation The platter
should be placed so near the carver that he
has full control over it; if far of, nothing
can prevent an ungraceiul appearance. A
sharp kniieis requisite and thin and we'll

the wing nearest TO you first, then the leg
and second Joint then slice the breast until
a rounded, ivory-shaped piece appears in

be taken without separating the whole

other side. The fork need not be removed
during the whole process. An experienced

We learn by letter from gentleman in
Helena that a curiously painful incident
occurred in that town on Friday evening
last. Five rather clever, respectable. and
fast young men were enjoying themselves
in the chambers OF ono OF their
number. Nothing unusual happened
during the meeting; there was
pleasure enough and a merry parting. 5000
They appear, all of them, to have slept
soupdly during the night atterward, but,
strange to say, in the morning when they
awake in their several apartments, not one
Of them could hear sound, Neither WAS
acquainted then with the misfortune Of the
other, and wondered IN his own mind what
on earth was the undertook ZONE con-
ISOLATION in the thought that it was merely
a temporary affection brought on by
causes tor which lie could not
fully account. Butss they met each other
nt their business places later ii the day
their astonlshment and terror WAS not TO be
described. They ceased to exhibit their
usual characteristics, became morose
gloomy, and by Saturday evening looked
several years older than the day before.
The gathering of wagons and drays, the
whistling Of steamboats, or even the
firing Of a pistol close up to their ears fail
cd TO make animpresson, In the express
sive language of themselves, they were
all struck stone deaf" Following the adj
vice OF friends, one OF them went to New
Otleans, for medical treatment 1t Is the

Kew LOppZ Died.

The true account of the death Of Lope 2
the Paraguayau President, has never, until
now, it is claimed by q correspondent of
the n Y. Tribune, writing from Asuno;on,
June. Sth. been teld According to this
writer, at day-brsak of the lst Of March,
Lopez, who, with his few remaining troops,
was encamucd on the southern side Of the
Aduidahan River, was informed that
some cannon had been taken By
the Rrazillians at one of his outposts, some
three leagues distant, wbereupon he dis
patched an officer to ascertain the truth or
talsitv of the report. The officer hot re-
turning, Lopez mounted his horse fcr the
purpose Of making personal inspection.
He had scarcely gone q rod before the enc
my poured down upon him. lie shouted
ITO arms to arms y to his followers,
which WAS ut once responded
to. Almost OF the first charge be
received the thrust of lance in his
side. which might have been NOR
tai, but while, with sword held in both
hands over his head and on horseback, he
was answering Gen. Camara's proposal to
surrender, a shot, either from rifle or re-
yolyer, fred from behind the General,
struck him in the breast, and he fell from
his horse a corpse. Therefore, the asser-
ton that he fed to the river and was
shot while scrambling across, is pro-
ncunced fabrication The same CORE
spondent further asserts that the accounts
Of Lopez having condemned his mother
and sisters to death, and of their being
destined for execution on the day when be
met his own fate, are not believed by any
body. The story, too, of Madame Lynch
having run away to the woods is pronounc-
ed equally untrue.

Railroads in Russia.

The Government OF Rus9le Is turning Its
vast advantages and power to the increase
Of rallrCad communication between various
parts OF the Empire to an extent which Is
remarkable. In 1888 the FIRST railroad was
laid down in Russia, from ct. Petersburg
to Tsarskal Selo, distance Of torty-tiye
miles. Nothing was done after that until
1916 when thirteen miles were laid upon
railroad from st. Petersburg TO Moscow,
Il was not completed to its full extent OF
four hundred miles until 1851. The Crl-
mean war found Russia with very miser-
able means of communication between
different parts of the Empire, and after
that contest was over, the Government
awakened to the fact that railroads were
matters OF military necessity. KIP to the
end Of 1859 there were but six hundred ana
thirty-one miles OF railroad In the Whole
OF the Russian Possessions, but after that
time these works began to increase. RI
vate companies were encouraged to estaD
ish them, and the government did not
hesitate to lay them down between such
points as were considered important Tor
strategic purposes. On January !, 1871,
there were 4, 9Sl miles OF railroad IL Nus
STA, and by the end Of the present year
it is believed that neatly three tho0aald
more will be added. Two thousand two
hundred and twenty miles are under con-
tract in addition, and will probably be
finished by January, 1872-so that, at LAT
time there will be quite ten thousand mixes
Of Russian railroad IN operation.
These roads are laid down with wise
discrimination, resulting FROM thorough
STUDY Of the geographical characteristics OF
the Russian Empire, and opening from ST.
Petersburg and Moscow the means OF pen
eIation into remote districts to Finland,
to the Black Sea, to Poland the Caspian
Sea, to Astracan aud toward the Crlmea.
These railways stretch their arms to the
Baltic toward China the Sea OF Azoi to the
rivers Don and Agar. There are branches
even into Siberia The exile who
was once carried by long, fatigue
ing and dangerous journey, IN
which there was much suffering,
may be now whisked by the locomotive and
lind himself in his new home after some
what Of q comfortable journey The great
er proportion of the railroad enterprises ID
Russia have been accomplished within
eight years, and the activity which has fol-
lowed long season of inaction and apathy
upon these subjects is truly remarkable.
With the same energy and power tye years
