The ressonableness OF doubt in such
a matter and under ordinary circuru-

they dread the cleansing stimulation
thus applied to the excreting skin sur

most persons possessed Of ordinary
| health and vigor to threaten impair

too free application of heat by Turkish
and other warm baths which appear
objectionable, we will not deny that
there is here a possible ground for com

Let it not be supposed that we ignore
the curative influence or the cleansing
property of this method when used
with Judgment. 1t is true. however
that experience has often proved the
mischievous effect of its misuse-in
cases, for example, of cardiac weakness
or general exhaustion. Cold bathing.
In like manner, is not without its oc

persons enfeebled from any organic
cause, though mere nervous languor is
often braced and benefited by it. 1t
has no proper place among the habits
of those who are subject to chronic
visceral congestions.
AS regards one advantage derived
from bathing-i e., its cleansing prop
erty-there is no reasonable ground
for difference of opinion. Less prac-
ticed by one people than another
though it may be. there still is com
monty recognizable a constant habit of
ablution. and this in itself attests at
least an almost universal belief in the
necessity of washing. Nor can we find
reason to doubt the general soundness
Of this belief

however, this custom ought
to be discredited by its inevitable ac

1t is pretty generally known that in

Miss, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
strange sounds are frequently heard,
rs of Il musical instrument PLAYED at a
distance. under water. Boating par
ties are often startled at the distinct
ness of this music. They lken it to
the sounds produced bv the vibration
of musical glasses or of harp strings.
The sound rises and falls as if waited
by the wind. and is locally known as
1.-THE mysterious music" The origin
of the sound is generally ascribed to
movement of sand at the bottom OF the
river, although there is no evidence
offered that the sand does move or any
reason given why it should move. The
explanation doubtless rests upon the
fact that such phenomenon as sing
ing or barking sand is known to exist
in several parts of the world. 1t is
not likely that wet sand would produce
the sounds mentioned. 1t is more
probable that fishes make these noises
for fish can sing. very nicely. too. 1t
seems rather funny to speak of singing
fishes. but many of them do produce
vocal sounds. Croakers get their
name from the noise they make Blue

pulled out of the water. but these are
not such sounds as constitute the music

two chests are natural normal. The
