How to Take u Vacation.

Avoid long journeys unless you have
enough time to recover from the wear<
ness and discomfort of travelling before
you go to work again. Seek a near
place lin the country if you live in the
city, at the mountains if you live by the
seashore. Persons who lead a very
quiet life may be benefited by season
at some lively. watering-place, but for
most people the more retired and quiet
the place chosen for rest, the better it
is for them.
On the continent of Europe they say
that Englishmen 60 abroad to wear out
their old clothes. In this country the
idea seems to be that when one is away
from home one should be constantly
dressed in his or her best. The English
plan is much more sensible. A vacation
should not be expensive. There ought
never to be question whether it can be
afforded. Whoever has limited in
come should lay his plans so as to spend
no more during his vacation than at
other times. If any other rule is fol-
lowed, it may be the cause OF q troubled
mind when anxiety should be
altogether absent, and it may even lead
to the giving up of the rest which every
mind and body should take o~th's

The Benefit Of Lemonade.

Somebody, who appears to know all
about it, writes positively that Z" it will
draw the sting out of hot weather, not
only for this time but for months to
come, to understand the right use of
lemons. Most people know the benefit
of lemonade before breakfast, but few
know how it is more than doubled by
taking another at night also. The way
to get the better of bilious system
without blue pill or quinine is to take
the juice of one, two or three, or more
lemons, as the appetite Graves, in as
much ice water as makes it pleasant to
drink, without sugar, before going to
bed. In the morning on rising, or at
least half an hour before breakfast, take
the juice of one lemon in q goblet of
water. This will clear the system of
humors and bile. with mild efficacy.
without any of the weakening effects of
calomel or congress water. People
should not irritate the stomach by eat
ing lemons clear; the powerful acid OF
the juice, which is almost corrosive,
infallibly produces Inflammation after
q while, but properly diluted, SO that it
does not burn or draw the throat, it
does its full medical work without
harm, and when the stomach is clear of
food has abundant opportunity to work
on the system thoroughly"

Some Hints On Bathing.

It is q well-known fact, but rarely
remembered, that the skin is one of
the great safety-valves of the human
machine-that the millions of little
respiratory tubes, with which it is
pierced, throw out from the inner body
an average amount of thirty-three
ounces of greasy refuse and worn-out
material in an hour, in the shape of in
visible perspiration, and in the same
time often as much as two or three
pounds in visible perspiration. Should
these tubes or pores be allowed to re-
main choked with their secretions, the
refuse matter is thrown back into the
other great corporal scavengers-the
lungs, stomach, liver or kidneys. Thus
it stands to reason that q careful and
general cleansing of the skin is abso-
lutely necessary to the life and we'll
being of the individual, at least once in
the twenty-four hours, and few people
who rejoice in the comfort of 'cleanli-
ness will feel that it is secured under
this amount of washing. It must be
remembered, however, that the mere
passage of water especially cold water
(e. r., what is ordinarily called
sponge BATH, does not cleanse. In
fact, it rather has q tendency to close
the pores, which, like delicate flowers,
shut up to q cold current of wind or
water. Therefore, as warm or tepid
water tends to open the pores, it is adj
visable to use that with the course Of
soap-scrubbing (not an unreasonable
friction) which should precede the uni
versal sponging. This last may be
done with cold water, which cer.ainly
invigorates and braces the system

is ruddy-cheeked, bright-eyed woman
Of forty years or 50. goes forward with !.
the duties of her enforced position OF
manager, maid and man'of-all-work,
without q thought Of complaint. She
does not, as far as we know, think Of
appealing to anybody for help with the
ordinary duties of the farm. And she
reads to her husband to cheer him up,
and goes to mill, and to the city, and

there are people who say, bless the

good" -Sasta Rosa (Cal) Repaotsco's

The study of book keeping has been

1t has been decided by the English

"A Raikes Memorial Church is to be
erected at Gloucester. England. It
will be an Episcopal Church, and its
corner stone is to be laid during the
present centenary proceedings. The
building will cost about $4,000. A

the Sunday-school Union of Glouces-

and the hall will not just now be
erected.
Fifty young women have been adj
mitted to Smith College at Northamp-
ton, Mass. When the fall term opens
the membership will probably be about
25O. A fifth dwelling-house for stu
dents will probably be built during the
coming year. The trustees have voted
to begin the erection of q new library
and art building at once; the sum of
$4,000 has been subscribed, and they
hope to raise the balance during vaca-

The large sum of $250.000 has
been added to the permanent endow-
ment of the University of Rochester,
N. Y, within the last ten months.
The movement, which has resulted so
successfully, was begun by the gift of
$4,000 to the institution from a
wealthy lawyer of New York City, on
condition that similar amount should
be raised by subscription. This was
quickly accomplished. Then gift of
$50, 900, to be set aside as q fund to

AS striking instance of the vast
beneficial results which sometimes
spring from the working of one capa-
bic and active brain, it is stated that by
the Bessemer steel invention the saving
to England alone in the wear OF rails

saving is expected to be 800, 900, 900 an

There are now in the United States
900 miles of bridges. One-third OF
these are stone and iron, two-thirds
wooden. Iron and steel are used with
success and give the greatest efficiency
at the smallest cost. The chief defect
in bridges is in the floor, and the less
wood used ON iron bridges the better it
would be. The chief cause of accidents
is by derailment of trains, and the
floors and trucks should be made as
firm as possible. Steel is rapidly COM

Gus, and children who are ''coddied''
are always delicate; bus no wise mother
will put her young children into quite
cold water in winter time, nor with u
cold, and above all. will never allow
them to be washed and bathed in a
draught, on the same principle Of COLI
sistency that plenty of fresh air is good
when it is not damp or foggy, but
draughts are most injurious. Even in
summer the chill should be taken of
the water in which young children or
delicate persons are bathed, while in
winter it is doubtful whether even the
strongest man is benefited by bathing
in water at or but little above the freeZ-
ing point. '".t.,. =.
The cold bath is not advisable when
followed by no warm glow; neither
when followed by rush of blood to the
head--in both of winch cases tepid Or
warm water should be substituted.
There live many men (and women, too,)
with souls so dead' that they will 90
into a cold bath, or send their children,
when they have some feverish or erup-
tive complaint. The danger of this
should be obvious that the disease re-
ceives most violent check, and the per-
sons life is even threatened. =
If. however, you persist in the use of
cold water in cold weather for yourself
or children, succeeded by no necessary
after-glow of warmth, and will not have
the common sense to use warm or tepid
water, then put in tablespoonful Of spirit
of some sort into your bath whisky is
best, though eau de Colonge or spirits
of wine will do you will have

blains in persons of slow circulation.
On the other hand, it is injurious to
many people to have the water even ap-
preaching to hot. Those who battle
regularly the year round in cool water
are rarely sensitive to cold, and the
most delicate woman may use the sponge
bath daily. not only with impunity, but
with advantage. To do this immersion
is not necessary, and no one need COM
plain that they cannot have "good
wash" because they do not happen to
possess bath, for this may be easily
accomplished after Miss Nightingale
plan, in the rules she laid down to lady
nurses who accompanied her to the
Crimea; even if they had but the poor
accommodation of a basin they were to
thoroughly sponge themselves from
"top to toe," which is possible to the
poorest of us.-Erchunge.
