Dry Bathing.

Regular bathing, SO far as the people
Of this country are concerned, is certainly
a habit Of quite modern adoption. The
fathers and mothers, and grandfathers
and grandmoiher>, OF those who have
reached middle life, seldom or never
baihed, except in the warm months of
summer. Their dwellings afford no con.
venicnce- for the act, if they felt the need
of rcriarming it. As general thing.
the health was unaffected by this omis.
sion. Why was this! Because of their
occupations and their methods of living.
They were active workers, they wore but
a small amount Of clothing, they lived
much in the open air, and their dwellings
Were without stove and furnace heat. If
any one in these days will exercise in
the open air, so that each day he will
perspire moderately, and if he will wear
thin un1er-garments, Or none at all, and
sleep in a cold room, the functions of the
skin will suffer little or no impediment If
water is withheld for months. Indeed,
bathing is not the only way in which its
healthiul action can be maintained by
those living under the conditions at pres
cnt existing. Dry friction over the
whole surface Of the body, once day. OF
once in two days, is often of more service
than the application Of water. The re.
ply Of the centenarian to the inquiry, to
what habit Of life he attributed his good
health and extreme longevity, that he be-
lieyed it due to rubbing himself all
over with cob every night" is signif-
cant Of an important truth.
If inyalds and persons Of low vitality
would use dry friction and Dr. Frankin's
"air bath every day for considerable
period, we are confident they would of.
ten be greatly benefited. Cleanliness is
next to godiness, no doubt, and proper
and juGicous use of water is to be COM
mended but human beings are not am
phibious Nature indicates that the
functions of the skin should be kept in
order mainly by muscular exercises, by
exciting natural perspiration by labor
and delicious as is the bath, and health
fui, under proper regulations, il is no
substitute for that exercise of the body
without which all the functions become
abnormal,

These persons forget one important fact
that all capital is the product of labor
That nearly all rich men in this country
were once poor. That nearly every per
sonal fortune they can enumerate is either
the product of its owners toll and skill.
or the representative Of his father. toll
and skill.
/ How did the makers of these fortunes
get along without capital? HID they
spent the vigor of their youth in idle and
foolish lamentations over tn ir poverty if
they would have lived aud liel poor,
and left nothing but an inheritance of
honesty behind them. Capita allied to
labor and skill can work wonders in the
war of materal enterprise. Bat money is
not the only indispensable thing to young
men. There are other kinds Of capital
besides accumulated money brains, mus.
ale, industry, honesty, diligence, truth,
fiL'ility, skill, tact, education---aH these
are capital, and all of them have com.
merc.'al value, which the owner will be
able, 81 ooner or later, to command in the
market. Provided with these, any young
man in t,Nis country may make more than
he needs Il, spend every year, and thus
have SOMETHING at the end Of each year
to invest as m oney capital. he needs

and thus give proof of his ability to use
