The ACTION OF BATHs.-An article of q
very interesting and instructive nature, on the
physiological action of baths, was published
in late number of the Lancet Summing
up, the writer notes that warm baths produce
an effect upon the skin directly contrary to
that which is brought about by cold water.
The cutaneous vessels dilate Immediately un.
der the influence of the heat, and although
the dilation is followed by contraction, this
contraction is seldom excessive and the ulti-
mate result of the warm bath is to increase
the cutaneous circulation. The pulse and re-
spiration are both quickened in the cold bath.
The warm bath increases the temperature of
the body, and by lessening the necessity for
the internal production of internal heat, it
decreases the call which is made upon certain
of the vital processes, and enables life to he
sustained with a less expenditure Of force.
While a cold bath causes certain stiffness of
the muscles, if continued too long, warm
bath relieves stiffness and fatigue The final
effect of both hot and cold baths, if their
temperature be moderate, is the same, the diff
ference being, to use the words of Braun, that
"cold refreshes by stimulating the functions,
heat by physically facilitating them, and in
this lies the important difference between the
cold water system and the thermal mode of
treatment" ~
LOOK TO Your WELLs.-Here is fresh H.
lustration of how people are poisoned all the
while by foul wells: A family living on ele-
vated ground in Hartford, Conn.,. in a region
remarkably healthy in all its natural condi.
ditions, we're for years sufferers from various
forms of fevers, headaches, and an endless
variety of ills, which kept doctor in pretty
constant attendance At last three years
ago, worn out with this experience, the owner
determined to sell and move away, believing
the locality to be an unhealthy one. At this
juncture, friend of the family asked and
obtained permission to do what the owner Of
the place, or at least the physician, should
have done long before-make an examination
of the premises. He found privy vault On
ly ten feet from the we'll 1t was evident
that this was the cause of the continuous ill.,
ness among members of the family and he
obtained leave to remove the bucket from
the we'll, and promise from tho family to 60
to the barn for their water, where it had been
introduced in pipes from the great main that
leads into Hartford. From that time for.

A House OF OUR OwN.-Next to being
married to the right person, there is nothing
so important in ones life as to live under
ones own roof There is something more
than a poetical charm in the expression of a
wife, writing to friend, who said "We have
our cozy house; it is thrice dear to US because
it is our own. We have bought it with the
savings of our earnings. Many we're the &C.

the necessaries of the market we had to pass,

draught Of beer, wore his old clothes, and
even patched up boots; and I, O me! made
my old bonnet do, wore the plainest clothes,
did the plainest cooking. Saving was the
order Of the house, and to have home of our
OWL had been our united aim. Now we have
it. There is no landlord troubling US with
raising the rent, and exacting this or that.
There is no fear harbored in our own bosom
that in sickness or old age We will be thrown
out of house and home, and the money which
otherwise would have gone to pay rent is suf-
6cient to keep US comfortable in the winter
days of life"
ONLY MoUsE.-Laugh no more, gentle
men, at the cowardics of women where mice
are concerned. A severe masculine censor
once declared that the most grave and wise
gathering of women, for the most important
and serious purpose, could be utterly thrown
off its balance by the letting loose of mouse
in the room. That was mems theory. Here
is fact: "While an Ohio Judge was holding
Court, few days ago, mouse took adVan'
tage of his preoccupations and climbed up
inside his pantaloons. The attorneys and at
tendants became aware of the situation when
the Judge suddenly gave jump, clapped his
hand to his legs, and stamped on the floor.
The Sheriff rushed to the rescue, and the
spectators rose in their seats, not knowing
what was about to happen. The Judge whis.
pered to the Sheriff, lawyer took the intru.
der out, and in the general confusion that
ensued the mouse escaped" Fancy the howl
of derison that would have gone up from
"the superior sex" if this had happened in a
Court presided over by woman!
WHAT THE GIRLS SHOULD BE DOING.-
The taste, skill and industry of the daughters

use than in devising and executing floral and
