A turbaned Ottoman, approaching the pigeon-hole of the post-office, bows re- peatedly to the official, and, laying his right hand on his breast, exclaims: May the noble morning be fortunate for you, sir!"
 Official, returning the salutation, in- quires: What is your pleasure?"
 "Thy servant desires few stamps postage stamps-in order to send letters to Europe. My son, Abdullah Effendi, glass merchant of Ak Serai, has travelled to London, and his family wishes to write to him. l myself, indeed, do not possess the accomplishment of writing, but rel ative, the grandson of first wife's great uncle, the pipe-bowl manufacturer of Tophane, is master of that art, and he will pen the epistle for us"

 "Ah, my jewel, how many do l require2 One, l suppose, will not be sufficient, for he will not return yet for four weeks, so give me two"

What Is n Cold Bath?

The season of the year, says the Lancet, when very many people who have expe- rienced pleasure and advantage from daily cold bath have to discontinue the practice is come Months will elapse be- fore the return of genial weather will allow of their indulgence in what may be termed mans natural stimulant. Among the young and robust there are large number who are able to bathe even in the depths of winter; the advantage of so doing is, however, questionable. But let it be once understood what a cold bath really is, and the course by which we can avoid Scylla and Charybdis will be ob- vious. A cold bath is not necessarily bath in water of the temperature of the atmosphere. A bath is truly and really cold when it produces certain physiologi- cal effects--a slight momentary shock, followed by pleasant and lasting reaction. These effects are, for the majority of peo- pie, most pleasantly obtained by bathing in water about thirty-five to forty de- grees below the temperature of the body
 the usual temperature of unheated water in June and July. Bearing this in mind we can enjoy our physiological "cold" bath as safely and pleasantly at Christmas as at midsummer, and there is no necessity for the most timid or weakly to discontinue his morning tub because the summer weather is over. When the water sinks below temperature of sixty degrees, let it be heated to that point and then used, and we shall still have our "cold" bath, though of heated water. The daily stimulant effect of such bath is so beneficial to the great majority of persons, and is of such marked service in maintaining health, that it is very impor- tant to have it widely known that cold bath may be taken all the year round, provided cold is not mistaken to mean at "the temperature of the outer air" To heat our bath during the winter months is often thought to be unmanly, while in reality it is truly scientific; and to bathe in unheated water all the year round, whatever the temperature of that water may be, is to prove ones self an ignor- ant slave of outward circumstances.
