HORRORS OF THE. CANOES,

What Traveller Saw While q Hos. Of Ma
.tives We're Bathing.
From the Times Of India.
The road to each bathing CHAT on the Ganges
at Cawnpore during the great holiday was filed
with stream of natives in their gayest dresses
going to or returning from the bath, which is
the first religious duty of the day. Men, women,
children. horses and dogs were all in the water
together, while on the banks were devotees en-
gagged in prayer and other religious offices.
Scarcely hundred yards above the bathers and
at the edge of the stream was o group Of six
large vultures and two long-legged scavenger
birds. The vultures we're pulling at an object
which appeared above the water, while the
other birds looked on.
The object, on close examination, proved to
be the body Of full-grown man, who had very
probably died OF cholera on the same morning
and had been hurried to the river without the
ceremony of burning. A hundred yards below
the bathers was another fresh and unburnt
body. stranded some three feet from the water 9
edge, with its attendant party Of vultures,
which were just beginning to feed. Halfway
between this body and the bathers lay partly
burnt body that had been in the river for some
time. 1t seems to be nobody's business to re-
move the drifting bodies from the neighbour
hood of bathing places-the Sultures and the
crocodiles are supposed to do all that is neces-
sary.
Bodies Of persons who had died of snake bite
are also put in the river without burning,
owing to belief that the Ganges water may
possibly revive them. Cholera is busy in Gavin
pore at present, and as all the victims Of this
disease are put unburnt into the river the peo-
pie seem to be doing all they can for the spread
of the disease. A single cholera body, dis
sected by vultures at the edge of the river, and
Immediately above a large crowd of bathers, is
likely to send cholera germs very freely among
them.
The bathers not only wash their mouths in
the water, but drink and in many cases carry
it home for consumption. An analysis Of
water taken from among the bathers on this
occasion might have revealed some surprising
truths regarding the sacred river. or, more
properly speaking, sewer. that runs by the most
important towns Of the northwest provinces,
In India the sacerdotal character of a river
does not resemble that Of priest in the matter
OF permanency. In a few years the Ganges
will cease to be sacred and the Goomtie will as
sumo the title with all its honors and ceremo-
MES. 1t is satisfactory to think that what the
Ganges loses in sanctity will be more than COM
pensated by what it will gain in cleanliness.
for, US no advantage will accrue to the dead by
being thrown into it, their numbers will be
considerably diminished.

Dr. Robert Walter in Laws Of Health
Cold water is a narcotic, as alcohol is. It
deadens the sensibilities of the skin, and hence
prevents the sensation of cold. 1t relieves the
disposition to chilliness because Of this dead
ened sensibility, and as colds and catarrhs are
due to Representatives. Of the skin, we read
lily see that the cold morning bath prevents the
cold by reducing the constituencies.
But the cold morning bath does something
more. 1t arouses nervous activity by calling
upon the vital system for increased animal
heat The contraction Of the vessels due to the
cold is followed by q relaxation Of them, ex-
planned by the principle Of reaction, and so
through the cold both action and reaction are
established, which frequently give delusive ex-
elements to the victim.
The tepid or warm morning bath is great
improvement over the cold water bath, but
even these are not to be commended. Who
ever would enjoy the best Of health should take
his bath two, three or four times Q week and
retire to bed for a rest, thereby allowing ma
ture to secure the best equilibrium Of her forces
and promote the best conditions of health To
battle and return at once to duty il loss Of
power which the effects can never Justify.
Thus the evening is to be preferred to the
morning bath and the warm water rather than
the cold.
But no bath should be taken while the pa
tent is weary from labor or excitement. Rest
| Is then indicated. But IL the tired feeling is
due to chronic or long-continued conditions,
the bath il not thereby contra-indicated.
Taking mild bath while one is warm il not
to be condemned IL his circulation il not greatly
disturbed and his power depleted, the one con-
dition being alone necessary TO successful bath
ing, viz, power in the organism to respond to
the new conditions.
The bath should never be taken on full
stomach, nor immediasely before . meal, a.
further power is needed for other purposes un-
der such circumstance.

A STRANGE SCENE.


Where Tender Words and fearful Plead
ings Fail Money Succeeds.
From the Philsdelphis Times.
1t was in the corridor Of the sixth floor of
the city hall. Time, . little before 10 O'Clock
yesterday morning. Spectators, a group Of
reporters. Speakers, q middle-aged, neatly
but poorly dressed female. accompanied by a
younger woman, evidently her daughte.. She
had inquired several times when Magistrate
Cole would arrive. They impatiently paced
the corridor in front of the hearing room.
Before his honor arrived a man, whose ap-
pearance showed plainly that he was partial
to the amber-colored beverage, joined tn
couple.
Don't do it. Mary; don't do it; please don't
do it." entreatingly said he.
Il am tired OF your abuse and I am going
to have you arrested" remarked the elderly
''Just give me another trial." he begged,
"and I'll never strike You again."
'You have said that before, but you did not
live up to your promise"
TRY me. oh. try met he persisted II mean
it this time; indeed do"
By this time there was quite crowd around
the speakers-though they were not near
enough to interrupt the dialogue.
"You will find me different man after this -
he pleaded; there, that will prove it," and he
kissed her.
The kiss did not mollify her. She appeared
to be deaf to his pleading. Probably she did
not sec the tear that was in his eye. But he
kissed her again.
Eyes, mean it, Mary" he said, REFRESHING a
sob. ''Then look here" drawing wallet from
his pocket causing the silver it contained to
jingle; 'if you come home with me now, Mary,
you can have it ALL
The woman took good look at it and then
she said:
''Yes, it will be chicken today, but air tomor-
row. But hand it over, Jacob, I'll give you
one more trial.
They then passed down the corridor to the
elevator, he with his arm around her waist,
both apparently on the best of terms with each
other. The young woman followed.

THE SIXTH BATTALION.
Their Practical Instruction In the Camp n
Bay Ridge.

Bay Ridge
oorrsspondsocs Of The Evsnins Star.
CAM CECIL CLAY,
Bar RrpcE, Nd, August s. 1891.
Today's weather at Bay Ridge has been sim
ply perfect Beautiful clear sunshine, balmy
breeze and blue sky overhead have left moth
ing moro in this respect TO be desired BY the
department boys Late in the evening, how
ever. there were some indications that rain
might be expected before the night was over.
The visit Of Col Cecil Clay yesterday re-
suited in some very interesting experiences
for the sentinels on guard duty last night. Dur
ing the early hours Of this morning the
colonel, with Maj Bartlett, Adjutsnt Nc
Dowell and Quartermastsr Parsons, accom-
panied by detail Of men, made the rounds OF
the camp and visited the different guard posts.
The sentinels were found alert and wstchful,
challenging promptly, but with some percepti-
bic deficiencies in tho matter Of sharp utter
ances Of the cautionary words and in the en-
ergetic pose and action so essentially necessary
to the making Of q perfect sentinel. A great
improvement in these particular features may
be expected as result Of last nights inspec-
ton Of the posts.
RIFLE PRACTICE IN HARVEST.
Rifle practice commenced in earnest today,
company B, Treasury Guards, being the first to
60 on duty ct the firing point. Sergts. Marsdsn
and Buell. OF this company have the distinction
OF being the first two men in the command to
nre az the two targets OF the rife range OF tho
sixth battalion at Camp Cecil Clay. Lieut.
Vale. inspector Of rife practice, is fairly well
pleased with the result Of the shooting today,
some very good shots having been made. The
lieutenant is very particular in the issue Of the
Dali cartridges necessary for the practice, him
self counting them out one by one and requir-
ing the men to return him the empty shell for
every ball cartridge expended The butts are
well constructed and afford ample protection
to the scorers. II accidents are to be avoided
In this department Of military instruction
Lieut. Vale is the man to be relied upon to
prevent them, il it Is possible for human en-
deayor to do SO.
The policing Of the camp il admirably per-
formed and the grounds are kept in excellent
condition. Everything is in order and is
maintained in that condition. In every re-
sPect the rules which obtained at the brigade
encampment at Fort Washington last summer
in the government Of that camp have been
adhered to at Camp Cecil Clay as closely as the
diHerent conditions existing would permit.
In point OF fact Maj. Bartlett is DESTROYS that
when his command returns to Washington no
one Will be able to say a word of criticism as
to the behavior Of his officers and men or of the
military conduct of the camp. 1t is reasonable
to suppose, considering the personnel Of the
command and the general intelligence Of the
men composing it, that Maj Bartlett's efforts
in the particulars named will be crowned with
success.
