The peculiar infamy Of the sweat
er's system is that it robs where rob-

the cloak-makers who work on the CO.

AS TO MORNING BATHS.
Why 1t Is Better to Bathe Just Before
Going to Bed.


Going to Bed.
Cold water is n narcotic, as alcohol
is. 1t deadens the sensibilities of the
skin. and hence prevents the sensation
Of cod. 1t relieves the disposition to
chilliness because of this deadened
sensibility and as colds and catarrhs
are due to the Representatives, of
the skin. we readily 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 sys-
tenn for increased animal heat The
contraction of tho vessels due to the
cold is followed by relaxation of
them, explained by the principle OF
reaction, and so, through the cold
both action and reaction are es-
tablished, which frequently give de-
lusive excitements 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. Whoever would en-
Joy the best of health should take his
bath two, three or four times week,
and retire to bed for a rest. thereby
allowing nature to secure the best
equilibrium of her forces and promote
the best conditions of health.
But no bath should be taken while
the patient is weary from labor or ex-
element. Rest is then indicated.
The bath should never be taken on
full stomach. or Immediately after
q meal. as further power is needed for
other purposes under such circum-
stances. DR. Robert Walker in Laws
OF Health.

out to try our luck at bird trapping.
The immediate neighborhood OF tho
Chinese cemetery was and still ia a.
very good trapping ground. so we con-
cluded to make that our destination
After brisk walk along the Point
Lobos road we reached the cemetery
and set our traps on the banks OF u.
small pond which formed the center Of
a quarry situated at the western end
of the cemetery and fronting on Point
Lobos road where the little winged

After Watching our traps for some
time we became tired Of that and con-

themselves and go snake hunting. We
had proceeded but short distance.
however. before we were startled by
the report OF firearms, and on looking
over fence beheld two Cinnamon dis
charging revolvers as fast as they could
fire and reload. To the south of where
we stood was aswagon which contained,
baked pig and other Chinese deli
cacies to DO placed on the grave of the,
dead Chinaman. To the right Of the
wagon was an enormous bonfire, but
which. on looking closer, perceived

by household furniture and wearing

/ next turned my attention to the
grave, around which stood a group-of
Cinnamon. and observed the manner
in which q Chinaman is laid to rest
Two white men. who were employed
in the cemetery as grave-diggers. dug
pit between four and six feet in
depth, and then told those standing
around that all was ready The
Cinnamon turned their backs to the
grave. while the white men placed a.
board in the pit, tilted the coffin upon
the board. then drawing it out drop
ped the coffin into the grave. One Of
the Cinnamon threw couple of SHOW
elfulls OF Garth on the coffin. after
which the white men filed the grave.
The baked pig was now brought forth
and placed on the grave, together with
a number OF punks. which were lighted.
l asked one Chinaman what was the
object Of leaving the baked pig
on the grave, and he replied
that "Chinaman get hungly he come
up and eat" Then quite quantity
OF fireworks was discharged to scare
the devil away" and the Cinnamon re-
tired.
They had hardly left the cemetery
before the feast on the baked pig be-
gan. but not however. by the one it.
was intended for. but by pack OF
