BACTERIA on Small Coins.

The Frankfurter Zeihtn9 informs US that
DR.. Reinsch has found, as the result of a
long series of minute Investigations that
the surfaces Of fifty-pfennig pieces (six-
pences) which have been long i'll circula-
ton are the home and feeding ground of a
minute kind of bacteria and vegetable fun
gus An extended series of observations
showed that this is the case with the small
coins of all nations, the thin incrustation
of organic matter deposited upon their
surfaces in the course of long circulation
rendering them very suitable for this para
sitical settlement Dr. Reinsch scraped off
some of these incrustations and with a
small scalpel divided them into frag-
ments, which were subsequently dis
solved in distilled water. The
employment of lenses of very
high power showed the bacteria and fungi
distinctly. This is matter of no little i'm
portance from hygienic point of view 1t
has now been conclusively established that
bacteria form the chief agency in the pro-
pagation of epidemic disease. The revela-
ton that they have a chosen domicile in
the most widely circulating medium which
probably exists in the world presents US
with new factor in the spread of infectious
disease. There is, however, remedy,
When coins have been in circulation for
number of years, if they are washed III

they will be cleansed from their organic
incrustation, and SO freed from the unwel

Water Baths,

% take sponge bath of cold salt water
every morning. Is it healthy? Is il better
to use fresh water?
There is no reason to believe that for
ordinary bathing purposes, salt water is
any better than fresh The salt is not alb
sorbed, and if it were, we take it more con-
veniently with our food. Nor does it have
any particular effect on healthy skin.
The uses Of water as applied to the surface
of the body are, ~, to cleanse it: (2), to
equalize the circulation 81 to lessen the
susceptibility Of the skin to changes Of
temperature.
The first obiect-that Of cleansing-is ac-
complished by either cold or warm fresh
water and soap. Cleansing with soap once,
or at the most twice, q week is often
enough, for the clothing absOrbs the larger
part of the impurities emitted by the pores.
Too frequent bathing, especially with soap,
removes the scarf-skin too rapidly, and nm
duly exposes the nerves which ramify on
the surface. Good authorities believe that
in many cases the nervous system has
been injured in this way
The second object-to equalize the circu
lation-is accomplished by immersing the
body for short time in hot water. by
means of bathtub Essentially the same
thing is secured by the yapor bath. This
brings tie blood strongly to the surface
and to the extremitieS of the body, thus
relieving any pressure on the internal
organs and soothing the system generally.
This plain rot bath may be used simply
for cleansing purposes, but it is specially
suited to the occasional needs of the feeble
and TO the first stage of a cold. After the
bath the body should be wiped quickly,
and the person should pass at once, with
out any exposure to a warm bed Half
pint of water, drank as hot as can be easily
borne is helpful, especially in case of
cold, or if the person has been III any way
chilled
The third object-that of lessening the
susceptibility of the skin to changes of
temperatures accomplished by the cold
sponge-bath. Here quickness is essential
The sudden application of cold contracts
the capiilaries and sends the blood from the
surface This is followed by reaction
which relaxes and dilates the capilla1ies,
bringing back the blood with increased
force.
The cold bath is not safe for persons suf-
fering from a heart complaint, nor for such
as are so feeble that the reaction does not
readily occur This reaction will show
itself in a glow on the surface of the skin
and in a feeling of warmth. The bath
should be followed by brisk rubbing of
the body with a coarse towei-[ Youths

The New York Tribune propounds a
question to the leaders at the South It
says You have been fighting the Re-
publican party for twenty years or more
VIII you give ear to one question, asked in
all seriousness and sincerity: Are you
quite sure for what reason you are fight
ing?" We considered this same subject a
few days ago, and found the logical answer
to be that the South fights the Republican
party because of the enmity of twenty-four
years ago. 1t is not because the leaders be-
heve their section is less prosperous under
a Republican President, or that any right
in the South is abridged by Republican

resolution, recently issued by municipal
committee in the Northwest Provinces
The subject is the destruction OF mad dogs
" 1t is no doubt impossible TO ascertain the
degree of madness of a dog killed, and the
only possible way of determining the cues
ton is that whenever the sweepers notice
any dog Of serial madness, such as has be-
gun to bite and assault persons they should
report it to the Munsarim, who viii issue
proper orders for killing the dog and after
it has been examined by the native doctor.
the person who will XIII it shall be reward
ed annas eight for each of such dogs. The
symptoms of usual madness in dog are
first, attacks on people; second, not recog-
niZing his master; third, senselesS in gen
eral. When these symptoms be proved to
have been truly shown by dog, such dog
will be taken as mad and unscrupulously
killed on the spot, and the persons entitled
will be awarded annas four for each of such
dogs" This almost rivals Grant Duffy's

of the reform measures Of the Republican
Legislature OF New York, originating with
the Roosevelt and citizens committee of
New York city But Democrats were full of
wrath at thoseac His veto ofthe celebrated
tive-cent fare bill deserves commentator,
and for it history viii do him justice, as
the better thought of the day now does.
He is remarkable example Of man with
out national experience or claim 10 states
manlike qualities being suddenly projected
into the national arena The Convention
that nominated Mr. Cleveland is entitled to
the thanks of the conservative citizens of
the Union for having defeated Mr. Thur
man, of Ohio, who as candidate for the
nomination represented more than any
other man the element that yiciously as
sails the great industries and organized
capital supporting them. In the place of
the threat his nomination would have
been. there is presented the name of a man
who has shown his friendship for corpo-
rate interests and rights and their fair and
equal protection. Mr.. Blaine is to be con-
graduated on having an opponent who
divides his own party, has antagonized a
strong faction of it, and is not match in
craftsmanship for the steel of the Republi-
can leader The remnant of the ''old
ticket in the person Of Mr.. Hendricks for

The lies regarding Mr.. Blaine do not
diminish in number or virulence. The
latest is that he was mixed up with the
star-route frauds. And this in the face of
the fact that while he was Secretary of
State the most vigorous prosecution of the
star-route swindlers was made by the Adj
ministration. It will be remembered, too,
that the journals supporting the star-rout-
ers were constant in their assaults upon
Mr.. Blaine.

THE Saturday Revie1o believes there has
been steady degeneracy in the matter of
dress since the time of the Crusades. Lewis
Wingtield'S historical designs seem to prove
that in the period of the twelfth century
the character of dress was infinitely bet
ter conseryator of health and comfort than
is the case Today, and the so-called rational
plan of dress proposed by the modern re-
formers is ridiculed as being the very &c
stacy of absurdity as compared with the
elegant and sensible styles of the earlier
time. However well applied the criticism
may be as to the dress of women, it cannot
be said to be well taken as to the costumes
for men. Those Of this day are certainly
the most sensible of any age, save in the
single article of the dress hat, or silk tile,
which is an abomination Womans dress,
as it is, is the enemy of health as it is
proposed to be by the reformers, it is an
ofense to the eye

policy in Europe toward certain American

saving, great fraud had been perpetrated,
for the iron base was coated with an alloy
made of tin and lead The doctor stated
that the cheapness of this preparation forci-
bly, commended it to Gamers, and some of
them use the fraudulent tin and cover the
cans with flaming labels, and thus prevent
the fraud being easily discovered. The
danger of the cheat lies in the fact that the
fermentation liable in canning, and that to
some degree may occur without destroying
the goods, develops the poisonous salts of
the lead, some of which are deadly. If
there is no law now by which the practice
of this cheating can be stopped, one should
be passed by the Legislature to assemble
in January. Possibly, however the pres
ent statutes against authorizations, frauds,
poisons or cheats may be found sufficiently
ample to cover the matter. Certainly in a
State where canned goods are so largely
as here, the health authorities
should look into the matter
