\ large number of farmers on the

These floors are quite faulty, how

in filthy mud-holes. a remedy for this
fault is recommended by Charles L..

French lace in frills and fiounces, silk
net and chiffon, are all used upon black
silk gowns intended either for evening
or 'at home" wear; an air of elabora-
ton is given by such trimmings, and
they really look a little more rich than
trimmings that are very much more ex-
pensive. If chiffon is chosen, the black
embroidered is usually given the prefer
ence, as the perfectly plain is too apt
to give a look of mourning to the cos
tune. The lace flounce is pretty and
graceful, and though it has been used
III a rather silly way during the past
summer, still it is most effective on silk
or velvet, and is well suited to a gown
that, while it is dressy, must not be too
gorgeous-Ladies' Home Journal.

Bathing.

Two things are essential to obtain the
full benefit of bath. These are q
warm, well-ventilated room, and one
free from draughts. The temperature
should be high enough always to pre-
vent anything more than the momen-
ary chill caused by the sudden change
of circulation and the evaporation of
the water from the body. This quickly
disappears and reaction sets in bring
ing healthy glow over the whole skin ;
but, should you continue to SILVER and
shake, to shrink in repulsion from the
water, the i'll effects will EXCEED the
good, and, persisted in, may prove fatal.
Be sure, then, to have o warm room for
bathing.
It should be we'll ventilated, for the
respiration is quickened by the act of
bathing, and therefore more oxygen is
required for the publication of the
blood than when quietly sitting in q
normal condition. OF course, Gny one
can readily understand why draughts
should not be allowed'upon the bather.
A person in good health, with vigor-
Gus powers, may find cold bath every
morning upon first getting up refresh
ing and stimulating. have seen those
who could Jump out of bed in a cold
room and get into tub of almost
freezing water, seeming to derive both
comfort and benefit from the process (;
but the number who can do this with
out i'll effects is very small. If cold
baths are Gdulged in, they should be
short and the body must be rubbed
most vigorously in order to attract
again to the surface the blood which
has been sent back upon the internal
organs. 1t has also become lower in
temperature, and the necessity Of vigor
and health to raise it again is the reason
why cold baths are harmful 70 persons

Of people wondering why the days

more miles than to the eastward,
forgetting, Of course, the difference
Of time between Queenstown and
Sandy Hook. This being nearly four
hours, twenty-three minutes, 1t fol-
lows that in six days passage to the
westward there are between noon and
noon not twenty-four hours but an
average Of twenty-four hours and al
most forty-four minutes. In fact the
longest days, from noon TO noon, in
the high ATTITUDES, contain nearly
twenty-five hours. In going to the
eastward this is revcrsed: the average
sca-day contains only twenty-three
hours and sixteen minutes, and the
shortest sea-day little more than
twenty-three hours. Now an hour
and-a-halfs steaming at twenty knots
accounts for an average difference Of
thirty nautical miles between the

while In northern ATTITUDES, the diff
ference being two hours, 800 miles to
