Rules for Bathing.

whether IN bath-tub, river or OCEAN
bathing should be accomplished onIv ~,
pleasurable sensations. The whole SSy
should be kept aglow. If any shiyerinas
orchllly sensations are experienced, either
you are not well, the water is not of tba
right temperature, or you are bathino
too long. At all events, such FEELINGS
are natures warning that YOU should 81
once leave the water and give yourself
thorough rubbing with coarse tovol
Bathing, especially swimming, necess;
tates great muscular activity, tbereforo
in order that digestion nav not be into,
Tered with, at least one hour, and better
still, two, or three, should elapse between
hearty meal and bathing. 1t is eas;Iv
seen that eleven in the forenoon, fonr IN
the afternoon, and just before retiring ar
night, are the best times for bathing
Some like cold dash on rising In ths
morning. Very few, comparatively, can
stand such shock to their nervous svs.
TENS. Let those who enioy it. and sy-
perience glow during the operation.
continue the practice; but let them be-
careful how they urge its adoption upon
those whose nerves possess less degree
of resistance.
Any one desiring to acquire the habit
OF cold bath every morning should be.
gin the custom in the warm weather, con.
tinuing it during the winter, and not com.
mence 1t in the latter season.
If you are perspiring from walking,
rowing or other exercise, as you reach the
place of bathing, do not Gas some advised
sit down on the bank to cool off before
entering the water. Doff your clothes
and dash in as soon as possible, only be.
ing careful to keep up the exercise with.
out intermission after you are in the wa.
ter. In this way you continue the glow
which you experienced from the previous
exercise.
Ten or at longest fifteen minutes in the
water should suffice for the strongest
aqueously inclined urchin. Strive always
to leave the water before you feel chilly
or certainly at the first approach of any
such sensation, and continue or rekindle
the glow by a vigorous rubbing with
coarse towel.
Turkish superstition says, wet your
head thoroughly upon entering the bath;
we say, do it to prevent rush of blood to
the brain, which event may cause death.
Finally, as bathing, apparently, sim.
pie process, is not without its dangers,
we would warn all boys not to begin the
practice too early in the season, or to re-
peat it too often daily. Many have found
an early grave by over-indulgence, while
others have endured long years of suffer-
ing from the obscure effects of excessive
bathing. No physician should consider
it below his calling tosgive specific drcc-
ton to all seeking his advice as to when
and how long they should bathe.

ELECTRIC CANDLEs-A New THING.-
Among other battles at which one assists this
moment in France is that between electric can
dies and gaslight. Yesterday evening visited
this peculiar candle mapufactcry, in the Avenue
des Villiers, the director Of which is Ru;slap
engineer and also the Inventor. M. Joblockof1.
Now, as Vollairc observed, liz ut comes from
the ncrth. The laboratory is hung with PFC
lures aud colorcd stutis, which cau be az easily
distinguished in their shades as if IN iull noon
day. The candles have the same ratio TO gas
and oil lamps as sun to moonlight. The inVen-
tor poured some glasses of water 90 the dsme
of his dips, but they burned away all the same.
Trcy cmlr M smokc, and consequently caunot
blackcu ,bi Cts, ncr aoy heat-33O times less
than au ordiuary cAudc-hence books will DOT
fall out of their blndiDgs nor tapestry turn into
black SNUFF. There can be no fire, no explo'
sious, and the light Gao be laid 90 some three
to fifteen times cheaper than gas or oil i'ght.
The light does not uremble or twinkle much'
and none at all if it passes through globe
slightly opaque. The candle is composed OF
two cylindrical sticks Of charcoal, separated BY
a preparation of sand, ground glass and kaolln;
magneto-electro machine furnishes the cur.
rent, which flows from one point to the other OF
the charcoal rods Each candle burns three
hours, and the extinction OF one lights up
another. San Francisco CaN.

THE EUROPEAN WAR.

RUSSIA, it is said, refuses to treat with
Turkey except through the medium of the
great powers. If she defeats the Ottomans
in the field, she hopes by diplomatic
shrewdness to gain the Endorsement of her
rivals for any amount of indemnity she may
see fit to demand.
WHATEVER successes Russia may be
achieving in European Turkey, she needs
more men, and the reserve of the Landwehr,
or militia men of the second and older class,
has been called out If her designs are all
realized, she will have to work hard to
accomplish them.
A CORRESPONDENT at Tirnova, at the
junction of the Yamboli, Philippopolis and
Adrianople Railways, writes, under date of
July 10, as follows: "There has been a
horrible massacre of Rulgarians by the
Bashi- -Bazouks at Yeni Saghra, and not a
single soul would have escaped but for the
arrival of Turkish regulars. The Bashi-
Bazouks, Circassians and irregulars treat all
the villages they pass the same way-burn-
ing, ravishing and pillaging."
A DISPATCH from Berlin to the Times
says that, in consequence of the dispatch of
British troops to Malta, a regular campaign
has been opened by the entire Russian
press against England, and some journals
laugh at the Insignificant force England can
spare for an Eastern war. Others fercely
declare that odious England is fighting
Russie, even now seeing that the Egyptian
troops have been equipped with English
money, while all agree in regarding English
ahtagonism as matter of Indifference, and
not to be dreaded by Russia.
