BLUE GLASS OR SUN BATHS.

Dr. Edward Footc Jr, last night lectured before the
Liberal Club on the blue glass In relation to
by sun baths he said -
The accounts OF cures effected by sun baths under
associated blue and white window pancs which General
Plcasonlon first published have been so widely circu-
lated all their details that will not 80 over he

his ons, these baths most useful are
those which depend large extent on nervous debi.
ity-functiona diseases OF the nervous system, re-
sult,ng ID in sleepiessness, loss OF appetite, ncu-
ragic pains IN all parts of, the body, and
all sorts Of unaccouniab!e symptoms. Several
cases Of entire recovery from rheumatism, and one
from sciaca are reported. II all his accounts were
simnly the ipse Dirt OF General reasonop should,
from our knowledge OF the exaggerated Importance
which his jealous eye detects in FACTS of lttG sigDl
canoe, be inclined 10 discount them several per cent;
but since a few of them were the personal experiences
OF other people, told IN letters 10 him, and since
ports are from all parts OF the country OF
wonderful relief from PAIN and other diseased condi-
tons by such baths, Will, after de-
Quoting something for the influence OF faith
or Imagination, allow that very considerable
taith however, is not tho honest source IRON which
many of these reports come, but the generally &C
ceptsd fact that there Is healthiul and vvyng In

THE REV. DIT. HALL HAS A PRACTICAL TALK
WITH woRKINGMEN.
The Row. DR.. John Hall said to his audience Of work
ingmen and women. last evening, At tho Workngmen's
Reading Room, No. l35 Greenwich street, that the
very lrst purpose O. making money was to give 1t
away. Was any one astonshed that he should lay
down such proposition? He was sorry TO say that
there was a great tendency in modern times to
dcpreciate WORKING with tho hands II was a
dream of every New England boy who had
completed his collegiate term to repair 10 some
great city and there 10 build up
colossal fortune by brain work; and he informed
by statsticans that OF every hundred young men
who went TO Boston or capo to New York with this
dream nnoty.fvc total failures. He urged that
this tendency was leading cause in promoting gen.
teel pauperism and hard times. When the ennobling
aim of working with tho hands for wages In order to
have something 10 give was properly understood, the
grandeur OF such life was something TO be apprc.
cated and honored. man had his duty TO earn ana
TO give.
You are ali OF you too intelligent, said TIE lee.

So. In six weeks you have accumulated ST., and you
are u capitast to that amount--that Is TO say, you

support. Now. the man who denounces capital as
crime dcnounccs you as criminal ior whon you nave
m oney that is needed to pay your expenses you
you wish to promote.
People who denounce capital as crime deserve TO
meet with hard times; those who do not put thcir

talking OF the wrongs perpcratcd by capitalists, neccs.

II. There is another class Of persons who make
business OF living the creduity OF tue public by
distributing circulars promising great things ana per-
forming nothing. There hundreds OF persons IN
the city Of New York who expect to fortunes by
practising with low GINNING upon the gullibity OF
their fellows Such people, sooner or later, usually
come upon hard times.

that employs him finds IL necessary TO cut down tho

dismissed from the establishment. The result Is that
the young fellow one OF the number beng litlo
guar his habits and not quite trusted by his
employers He has nothing saved, and II seems TO DO
very hard that he should lie reduced to want. But
that young fellow deserved to hard times. He had

economy and II the served to correct his habits
