How Hot Water Saves CHM.

The entire absence OF sanitary arrange
ments i'll Chinese towns and yila,5cs
oeing well known, it goes without say
ing that the laws of hygiene are utterly
ana entirely neglected. There is no
isolation of infectious diseases, and no
attention is paid to causes of death I'M
less there is superstition of violence.
According to our ideas, therefore, Chinese
cities ought to be hot beds of disease,
subjected regularly TO those terrible
epidcmics which, with us, are invariably
associated with the neglect of sanitary
laws Strange to say, such is not the
case. Epideinics come and 20 without
any apparent reasons, appearing, per-
haps, suddenly, causing heavy mortal
NY Tor short time, and then us suddenly
disappearing again, thus aIfortling an
endless field of speculation to the foreign
savant. But, speaking generally, Chinese
towns enjoy an immunity from these dan
gcrous outbreaks almost as complete MS
tiiat OF wcll-tlraincd European commumi-
ties, and the cause of this puzzling and
curious phenomenon has been variously
explained. The fact is all the more
striking when taken in connection with
the contaminated water supplies of Chinese
towns, the effect OF which on Europ cans
has been manifested over and over again
IN the heavy mortality which overlook
them previous to the adoption of prccau-
tons cnjoincd 10y modern sanitary science.
The healthiness OF Chinese cities has been
in9cniously attributed by some people to
the universal habit of tanning. a practice
which is said to keep the atmosphere in
constant circulation. How far this cx.
PLANTATION can be deemed to suffice we
must leave to experts To decide, but, so
far as contaminated water supply is
concerned, VIC believe the real secret OF
immunity from its evil effects To lie. in
the universal custom of boiling all water
intended for drinking. As a matter of
lact, the Chinese never drink cold water.
The national beverage, which, in IL true
sense, may he said to cheer but not in.
CITRATE, is tea, and this is always con
tap" even i'll the houses of the very poor.
The native aversion To cold water is un.
doubleday carried to extremes, and GER
tainly induces diseases which might
easily he avoided by Il judicio,S system
OF outward application. In The matter
OF additions it must, however, be adj
mitted that the Chinese enjoy facilities
which, however little they IRE taken
advantage of, are far in advance Of any
thing within the reach of the poorer
classes of our own favored land Every
little hamlet i'll China has II shop where
hot wafer can be bought for Il tr-
Hing sum at any hour of the day or
night. Even i'll a small fishing village
on Il remote island in the Gulf of Pcchili,
where the writer spent six weeks under
very unpleasant circumstances during Il
severe winter, this was the case, land Il
great convenience it proved. -Nutional
