crat, and in group of young ladies
in Il dressing-room one announced that
she had had Dr. Johnson's eighteen
cups of tea that day. All gasped at
tho idea, and, rs she could walk across
the room without staggering, asked
how in the world it happened. She con-
fesscd to have taken nine cups during
the afternoon hours while she poured
tea mt her mothers reception, and the
others were distributed along through
the day. She takes II cup OF strong
! English breakfast tea every evening at

mended all the other jaded and weary
damsels to try it for the rest of the sea-
son.
Another girl announced that she al

..pick-me-up," she said, to carry her
through dinner or ball.
A third one owned to relying on beef
tea with little brandy in it, aud a
massage treatment from her old nurse

to DO rather proud of her hygicnic

A fourth one said that strong coffee

nowadays, much more frequently to tho
eyes and ears of the general public than
was the case formerly, and perhaps
hardly family exists in village OF town
but has some connection with members
OF either the regular army, the militia
or the volunteers. Duringthe Summer
months, when camps OF Instruction are
so frequently formed, the sound of the
bugle testifies TO the presence of the
civilian army throughout the length
and breadth of the land, and the inhab-
itants OF a garrison town are in the
same way continually reminded of the
presence OF regular troops by the notes
of the bugle, the calls being the same,
whether addressed to the volunteers in
camp or to the inmates of town bar
rack. A short explanation of them may
be found interesting to those who fire.
quently hear them.
Considering the length of some of the
calls, it may surprise the reader to hear
that there are only five different notes
played on the bugle. and, though that
is the case, the language of the instru-
mcnt is not at all limited. A language
with only five words might be thought
easy to learn, and yet the different ar
engagements of these .'words" essen
tences," as may call them) are end
less. 1t is. indeed, n very necessary
part of a soldiers training to learn the
language of the bugle, and even I'M
musical men soon acquire it. For. in,
the first place, the same "calls'' sound
much about the same time each day-a
hungry recruit, for instance, does not
take long to recognize the Dinner
Bugle," nor does the careless soldier
forget the summons to extra drill, much
as he might wish to do so. Ihe>4.eh
in their barrack rooms, too often ASSOC
ciate words with the notes of the bugle
and that is help to remember the
meaning of the sounds heard.
There are altogether over sixty differ
ent calls in constant use, but it would
certainly only puzzle my readers and
occupy too much space were | to give
half of them here. So will take the
commonest of them, in the order in |
which they might be expected to occur
in any one day, either in barrack or
camp; and if any one wishes for fur

the bugle he can get it by buying

Colds.

An eminent London physician, DIR.
| Graham, says: at is not a correct
| practice, after cold is caught, to mako
the room person sits in much warm
or than usual, to increase the quantity
OF bcd-clothes, wrap up in flannel, and
| drink large quantity of hot tea, cruel
| or other Stops, because it will invaria-
bly, increase the feverishness,, and in
the majority OF instances prolong,
rather than lessen, the duration of the
cold. 1t is we'll known that combining
inoculated persons in warm rooms will
make their small pox more violent by
augmenting the general heat and
fever; and it is for the same reason that
similar practice in the present COM
plant is attended with analogous re-
suits, cold being in reality q slight
fever. In some parts of England,
among the lower order of people, a
large glass of cold spring water, taken
on going to bed, is found to be a sue
cessful remedy, and, in fact, many
medical practitioners recommend a
reduced atmosphere, and frequent
draughts of cold fluid rs the most ef-
iicaciOus remedy for recent cold, par
ticularly when the patients habit is
full and plethoric y
Mr.. Graham further says: 1T is
generally supposed that it is the ex-
posure to cold or wet atmosphere
which produces the effect called cold,
whereas it is returning to warm tenn
perature after exposure which is tho
real cause of the evil. When n per-
son in the cold weather goes into the
open air, every time he draws his
breath the cold air passes through his
nOstrils and windpipc into the lungs,
and consequently dimnishes the heat
in those parts. As long "a q person
continues i'm the cold air he feels no
bad effects from il; but rs soon as he
returns home he approaches the fire to
warm himself, and very often takes
some warm and comfortable drink to
keep out the cold, it is said. The in
evitable consequence is that he will
find that he has taken cold. He feels
a shivering which makes him draw
nearer the fire, but all to no purpose;
the more he tries to heat himself the
more he chills. All The mischief is
here caused by the violent action of -
the heat. To avoid this. when you
come out OF II very cod atmosphere
you SnOulu not AT HIST 20 INTO room
that has fire in it, or IL Won cannot
avoid that, you should keep Tor con-
siderable time at as great distance as
is possible, and. above MI, refrain from
taking warm or stron~ 1 Gvrs when
you are cold. This r., 'ounded on

ought to be used to pay the unpaid In
