all in the animal, and then send the

Bathing: How Often, and When.

Habit has something to do with our
supposed necessities in regard to bath
ing. Some respectable persons never
battle the whole body except in warm
weather. Others cannot be comfort
able, cannot feel clean, without a daily
bath. Those who have a daily bath
usually take ii on rising from bed in
the morning. For this purpose some
use water of any temperature which
the season may make most convenient,
even taking icy water in winter, and
bathing in a cold room. Some who
have followed this practice for years,
have become convinced that it has
wrought much mischief, and that only
great Robustness Of constitution ever
enabled them 10 endure the tax upon
their native vigor so long. Most ply
sicians DO not advise so frequent bath
ing. considering weekly or semi
weekly bath sufficiently frequent FOR
cleanliness. Something depends upon
the season or climate, and much de-
pends upon the manner OF bathing and
the previous condition Of the bather.
It is an established rule that no general
bath should follow very closely upon d
meal. The stomach should be allowed
to monopolize the first consideration
for al least an hour after llling 1t, dur

A new theory, based chiefly on
chemical considerations, is propound-
ed by Prof Mendelejeff regarding the
formation of petroleum in the interior
of the earth. From the fact that in
Pennsylvania petroleum occurs in the
Devonian and Silurian rocks, it APP
pears to him highly improbable that
the fluid hydrocarbon should be the
result of the decomposition of organic
remains, for but little organic life
could have existed in those ages. His
theory, starting with Laplace's by
pothesis of the formation of our globe,
assumes the existence of great masses
of iron, and, along with it, of inor-
ganic carbon, in the inner parts of the
earth. The water which, from the
more exterior regions, penetrates to
the molten metal. is decomposed; its
oxygen goes to the iron, whilst the
hydrogen unites. under the influence
or great heat and pressure, with the
carbon, to form the varieties of hydro
carbons which make up petroleum.

ing which time 10 great demand must
be MADE upon brain, muscles or skin.
The stomach, when full, demands more
than its usual portion of blood, so that
the. surface of the body is sometimes
made chilly on account of a heavy or
difficult meal. When cool water, or
much friction, is applied to the skin,
an immediate demand for blood is
made at, the surface of the body, and
of course stomach and skin cannot
both successfully make these de-
mands at the same time. Sud-

digestion. 1t does not seem necessary
to wait more than halt an hour after
nursing baby, before giving it its
mild little bath, which, of course. is
never given in cold room. If you
wait too long, baby sometimes gets
very hungry and complains loudly be-
fore the dressing is all completed.
Physicians sometimes recommend that
baths be taken when the body is at its
greatest point of vigor. or near noon;
but however this may apply to sick
persons, IL respect to their curative
baths, it cannot well be obeyed by busy
people, in their weekly or semi-weekly
baths for cleanliness. A housekeeper
will usually take her bath on rising, in
the morning, or when she changes her
clothes after the dinner work is done,
or when she goes to bed. One should
not battle when much fatigued, but if
not especially weary, a bath just be-

How to Wash n WOOd.FlOOr.

"Top-duSt' can be washed off with
out great labor. Have the water only
moderately warm, especially when the
floor is of soft wood, because hot water
sinks in SO rapidly, and occupies so
much more time in drying, than cool
water upon wood. Drain the mop
pretty well before putting it upon the
floor, thus wetting the floor but little.
The object is to wipe off the dust as
thoroughly as possible, rinsing it off
from the mop into the water, and
changing the water for cleaner very
often. If you put much water upon
a very dusty floor, you have big,
troublesome mud-puddle to sop up or
rinse away. Experiment has convinced
me that a floor OF pine or Eastwood
looks better after cleaning, if small
amount of water has been put on each
portion of it. Use as much water as
you please on the whole floor, the more
the better, if you wash and wipe only
a small portion at time, and then
throw out the dirty water, and begin
the next division with clean water
The sooner a soft wood floor dries the
better it looks. / have seen women
work very hard to scrub a pine or
Eastwood floor white, and the result
has been quite disappointing. They
would put great deal OF water upon
the floor, and then scrub with a
broom hard and long; after this would
sweep all of the dirty water out, and
rinse the floor with as many waters
as they could afford. When at last
undoubtedly clean, but it looked dark
and somewhat weatherb beaten, in con-
sequence of remaining wet SO long. 1t
is question of health with me, in
winter, to have a floor dry as soon as
possible. A little lyein the water has
an excellent effect upon floors. 1t
may be poured directly upon decided
greasy spots, but the whole floor is
whitened with very little hard rub
bing, if small amount of I've is
mixed with the water. Too much
makes the boards yellow. How much
should be used depends upon its
strength. Never put lye into the
water with which you wash painted
floor, else you gradually but speedily
remove the paint with each cleaning.
il you let an inexperienced hired girl
have her own way with painted
floor, she will probably use her boiling
suds upon it, and soon remove nearly
ali of the best paint. Clean warm
water is best for painted floors. If
you have nice hardwood floor, be
thankful, especially if it be of white
ash. but never let its spotlessness be-
come dearer to your heart than the
family peace. You learn by expert
ment how much nicer one of these
hard floors look, when washed with
clean suds, than when washed with
the boiling suds of Monday.
Let those who like get down upon
their knees, and scrub their floors with
brushes and -cloths-SuCh work is
not for me nor mine, and | consider it
