BATHING IN COLD WATER.-Nothing is more
common than custom OF many persons to have
cold water bath Immediately on leaving their
beds, as daily habit. Delicately organized
ladies not unfrequently have established the
same course, considering il conducive to health
There is an impression that it invigorates the
individual, hardens the muscles and strength
ems the constitution. The sudden abstraction
or caloric or vital warmth in that way has not
only injured but destroyed more than were ever
teneftted thereby. A reaction, as it is called,
glow OF warmth that subsequently follows is
direct draft upon the system to meet a sudden
loss OF vitality, and is by no means so beneficial
as theoretically imagined. A tepid bath makes
no such injurious demands. and. therefore, ~
not injurious or perilous to those of frail
structure,

RUssIA PREPARING A FLRET.-The Russian
COVER nment-says the Scotsman's London cor
respondent-has been advertising for contracts
for the transport OF large quantities OF m steriai
from OrenbuTg to the Aral-such as stores and
parts Of vessels, ETC., for feet which is to be
launched in that sea next summer: Khiva
whose doom is fixed, is respited till then. As
soon as Khiva is conquered, Russian gunboats
will ascend the OXus to the extreme point of
navie alton, where a small post is to be estab-
lished. The unwillingness of the Russi au
government to come to any arrangement with
England in relation to the Afghan boundary is
far from unintelligible in the light or these
facts.

tor the sustenance OF the modern Trojan citi-
Zen. There Is said to be an establishment not
far from Troy, our own Troy on the Hudson
where hogs are fattened on the care asses Of un-
buried horses, and those same hogs then sent
into the market to fatten the unsuspecting citi-
zens. This is why the epizootic brought down
the price of sausageS in that quarter.

SIEGE OF THE MODoCs.-One OF the curios
tiles OF Indian warfare is the introduction of
howitzers and shells in the siege of the Modes
OF Oregon. The Indians are intrenched in
cave n'ch, with its ramif cations, embraces an
area Of several acres in extent. To disl0dye
them will be next to impossible, unless thew arr
starved out; in which case, we must suppose
they will be exterminated by the besiegers and
there will be prompt solution OF the whole

A RAILROAD LAW In ENGLAND.-An associa-
ton has been organized in England for the
purpose of prosecuting every railroad company
on whose line any accidents happen, and thus
to compel them to be more considerable OF hu-
man life. Mr.. Bass. NJ. p, is q leading member
of the association, and declares that railroads
should be made liable by law fer all mishaps
which result from bad management or careless
ness Thus far, Mr. Bass thinks these corpora.
tons have been suffered to kill and MAIN peo-
pie with perfect impunity. Last year 3l7 men
we're killed, and 365 more or less injured. Such
associations might be organized here also, and
would, no doubt. produce the happiest effects.

INFLUENCE OF DEHUDATIoN UPoN RAINFALL
A very striking illustration OF the influence
which trees have upon rain is given By a gen
tIeman who has just visited the island OF Santa
Cruz, west Indies. Twenty years ago he was
there, and the island was a lovely garden
throughout its length and breadth. Trees ma
tive to 1t, and flowers, everywhere fiourished
and the soil was fertile. When his last visit
was made he found third of the island des-
ert waste; the soil was parched aud barren on
the seashore. The destruction of vegetation is
steadily going on, and the planters one after
another abandon their farms, as they WELD them
nothing. The only way to account for the
great change is that nearly all of the trees have
been cut down, and the amount of rain which
has fallen since has not been enough to keen tn,
land refreshed.-NoJtIe Tribune.
