Health Papers.-VH. Bathing.
By JEANNE DEANS

Time was when bathing the surface OF
the skin in water, warm or cold. in fevers,
ipfiamatorv diseases, or diseases of any
kind. was regarded as little less than
heresay. Now doctors of all schools are
recommending it largely. But it is not
10 much the use of water in acute diseases
and in a specific sense wish to speak, as
in chronic, and i'll or low state of health.
but would you recommend cold bath
ing"
..Oh, yes when the system is ready for
it. Do not be alarmed"
but when is it ready?"
will quote little Of my own expert
ence, aside from bathing for personal
i. cleanliness.
1t is summer and am weak. spiritless
and nerveless, mot in any sense without
nerves; of this fact am forcibly sensible)
but a lax state of affairs. notice plunge
into cold water with my face and hands
awakens and refreshes me astonishingly.
and wonder if an application OF cold
water to my whole body would equally
refresh, will experiment little. SO |
begin with warm water-I have said it
was summer-and battle each morning for
several weeks. until by gradually lower
ing the temperature / approach cold.
Then have pair of mittens crochetted
from Irvine, which | draw on wet.
and pass rapidly over the surface of
the skin followed by bathing towel.
coarse enough to produce redDess
and glow; then dressing quickly no chill
is experienced. If it were the good effect
would be lost. and the bath depressing
rather than exhiliarating in its influence.
If preferred the flesh brush may be used
in place of the coarse towel; some people
choose il.
In this experimenting, care must b
used, for the "water-cure" must be con-
Quoted with wisdom and discretion, or 4
avails nothing. First it must be done very
quickly. and as the pores are already open
no soaping or scrubbing is needed; that
must be done when bathing for cleanli-
ness.
OF course the state of health modifies
cold bathing. II would be unwise, per-
haps unsafe to attempt it other than as |
have mentioned. and then it must not be
continued in cold weather unless in a
warm room; there, | see no reason why
the practice cannot be carried on in win
ter as well as summer. | know as rule
people are afraid of cold bathing. or
might put it, bathing in cold water; that
is rather more startling; but large ma
Jorty of chronic eases, and much ill-health
would be greatly benefited by it; or if
not this radical course, bathing in warm
room in warm water. followed by fric-
ton brush, if not every day as often as
three times per week would help along
more than you imagine. Ask your physi-
clan if this is not true ?-COttage Hearth.

..HOW WATCHES ARE MADE,

1t will be apparent to any one. who will
examine SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, a large proportion of the
precious metal used is needed only to stifien
and hold the engraved portions in place and
supply the necessary solidity and strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless so far
as utility and beauty are concerned. In
JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH
CASES, this waste of precious metal is over
come, and the SAME sOLIDITY AND STRENGTH
produced at from one third to one-half of the
usual cost of solid cases. This process is of
the most simple nature, as follows: plate
of nickle composition metal, especially
adapted to the purpose, has two plates OF
SOLID GOLD soldered one on each side The
three are then passed between polished steel
rollers and the result is a strip of heavy
plated composition, from which the cases,
backs. centres, bezels, &C. are cut and
shaped by suitable dies and formers. The
gold in these cases is sufficiently thick to adj
init of all kinds of chasing, engraving and
enameling; the engraved cases have been
carried until worn perfectly smooth by time
and use without removing the gold.
THIS is THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL GER
TIFICATE.

Birdie Tesper Arrdianed and Sentenced
for Shooting on Fire Arn,S Withtn thc
City LiBtits-SetS Up Self Defense as Eei
Excuse.
AS announced in the GLOBE of yes terday,
Birdie Vespef, nymph du pave of the city,
was arrested 10y Capt. Berry on Wednesday
night on the charge of being one of the prin-
ciples in the mysterious shooting ahray:which
occurred near the st. James hotel at
1886 Sunday night. Yesterday after
noon she was arraigned before the
municipal court charged with discharging fire
arms in the city limits. She
PLEADED GUILTY,
but set UP the claim that she was forced to the
act in self defense. She testified that she was
eighteen years of age aud had lived in Mime.
apolis for fifteen years. Her parents are living
elsewhere. She refused to answer the question
as TO wheth-r single or married. For some
time she had lived at Madam Dunn's bsguio,
but since the trouble she had taken
up her abode in that of Net Connolly ON
the East side. On Sunday evening she said
two young men called for herself and another
girl at Madame Dunn's inviting them to g
restaurant to partake of little banquet. They
started, but instead OF going to the restau-
rant, went directly to room of one of the
Young men in building on Washington
avenue, near Heffelfnger' sSshoe store. Here
they remained until after IL o'clock when this
girl in company with young man who they
said gave the name of Lac Stafford, but she had
since been convinced that his name was not
that which he had given. Arriving near the
