self with cold bath every morning. I
find that the best both for health and
cleanliness. y
Would you recommend that for a
person OF slight physique?n asked the
reporter with a glance at the doctors 8
stalwart figure.
Il would Recommend it for every
one with whom it agrees. That is the
test OF common sense and medical sci
ence. If you remain blue and cold af-
ter bath, don't take it again while in
the same state of health. If, on the
other hand. your system reacts, the eff
feet is entirely beneficial. If you pin
me down to generalization, I should
say that the tepid bath is the most BEN
eicial to the majority of people. The
hot bath should never be taken IN ones
house.
When handed a long newspaper clip
ping in which it was laboriously proven
that the curse of this age was too
free use of soap and water, the people
of the temperate regions growing weak
and short-lived under its application,
while the natives of the North lived to
a good old age, encased in the dirt and
train oil, the doctor characterized it as
can elaborate argument built upon
false premises. -
"a person should wash once day"
he continued, '.with soap; for without
soap the skin viii shed water like the
plumage of duck. Indulgence in a
Turkish bath should not be as frequent,
owing to its weakening tendencies. 1t
is preposterous to say that the inhabi-
tants of the North outlive those of the
South. The Esquimaux are a very
short-lived race, while the negroes are
at the other extreme. Witness the
number of colored nurses who dandled
the Father of his Country upon their
knee and still live to tell the tale. -

Alexander Mason, a weIl-known man
about town, a particularly frequent
lounger about the Morton House. New
York, was coming out of his residence
a few evenings ago when he met half
a dozen friends who were about to en-
ter in a body. They started back on
seeing him. He asked Tor an explana-
ton, and they read to him the death
notice of Alexander Mason at a house
lust two doors away. And 1t was not
a fictitious notice either But the
strange part of it was that the dead
man of that name was utterly unknown
TO Mr.. Mason. He had been his neigh
Dor for years, yet he had never seen or
heard of him.

WHAT TO DO WITH HlM9

Now that RIRL, the leader of the half
breed insurrection up in British Amer
lea has been captured, tho absorb
ing topic of tho hour among our Cana
dian cousins is what TO do with himi
Tho telegraph yesterday morning con-
veyed the intelligence that he was an
American citizen, and it may from that
fact DO inferred that the humane offices
of this government will DO invoked Ia
SEQ that bullet does not pierce him OF
a rope stretch his neck.
The claim Of American citizenship is
a very thin one. True, he might have
figured as Republican politician In
Montana, but how many mon without
the slightest right figure as American
citizens and Republican politicians ever
where in every election? Tho fact that
he was Republican peeler in Montana
is pretty good evidence that he was
an importation straight out. lilo has
lived for some time In the United States,
but as a Canadian exile, and upon the
first opportunity went back to his old
hAunts and raised rebellion. He is mono
ofours; cannot invoke our assistance,
and Is likely TO meet tho full measure of
British vengeance.
But what will they do with him? GEN.
MIDDLETON invited him TO surrender
and promised protection for time, but
he refused to listen to such nm appeal
and was at last captured. If no had
waged war in It's modern acceptatlon, or
II when captured no had manifested
some degree of magnanimi,y, he might
nave hoped for mercy. On the other hand
he suffered women aud children to be
butehored, played the bully before
whipped and the coward afterward,
and has lost all sympathy or respect of
elther the Canadians or Americans. A
vulgar instigator Of an Indian outbreak,
craving mercy with whine whom cap.
turod, It Is easy TO see what the result
will be, soe-a cord or q platoon Of sol
diors is likely TO DO the latter end of
that man.
Perhaps such a fate would bo best for
the western country. The United States
has been too lenient toward their In.
dian foes, and Canada has the chance 10
set n wholesome example, But while
this is done the wrongs of the Indian,
his common rights should not be forgot
ten, and while protecting society tho
poor Lol should not be denied common
justice.

MosT Of the ilrst-class life insurance
companies have dropped the suicide
clause. Some have reduced the time for
its operation to three yoafs, which is In.
serted TO prevent fraud, but there is =
very general feeling against the neces.
sity OF such provision in the policy.
The companies adopt BuoRLE's theory
that the number Of suicides zach year
Is fixed by natural causes and calculate
In advance with the same accuracy as
they would the deaths from disease or
accidents. II don't amount TO much,
anyway, as the lurles always find that
the suicide was insane on the principle
that no sane person would kill himself
for money for another, how dear soever
the "other' might be-not bad reason-
ing, either.
