The Cooling or the Stimulating Bath.

A bath is cooling or stimulating accord
ing to the friction applied. An authority
on this subject gives the following pre-
scrption for cool or summer bath: A dir
into cool water; white soap If the skins
needs cleansing; mop dry first with g
sponge and then with a soft towel. This
sort of bath has wholesome effect on chill
dren and is particularly good for youne
mothers and nurses, who need to econo
mize their strength The bath taken with
the friction of flesh brushes and coarse
towels Is stimulant and should be fol
lowed by rest or some light nourishmeni
to counteract the exhaustive results.
There are 100000 pores in the body
These windows of the respiratory system
are wide open after stimulating bath, and
If it lis convenient to go from the bath tt
the bed the very best results will be oh
tanned A eatnap Of five or ten minutes
will prevent an attack of cold and give the
body the sensation of accumulated force
The sanitary value Of the sponge bath can
hardly be exaggerated. The vital statistics
Of the city prove that clean people escape
the 800 ills that inconvenience the un
washed. The upper exquisite classes live
and die. but the undercrust classes are new.

Racing For u Fence In Battle.

At the battle OF Chickamaugs the Fed
eral General Wood, commanding division,
was left for time by some blunder with
only brigade at hand. He could see the
Confederate battle lines advancing to flank
the Federal army. Between him and them,
crossing the center Of a valley. was a stone
and log fence. Wood suddenly realized
that IL he could secure and hold the fence
he could make his inferior force a match
for the enemy preparing to move. The
Confederate commander saw the value OF
the position at the same moment, and II
was a question Of which side should get
there first. On the Federal side 1t rested
with the One Hundred and Twenty-f1fth
Ohio, that regiment being nearest the fence.
When ordered forward, the men gripped
their muskets at "a trail" pulled down
their caps and lowered their heads, and at
the word they rushed As If breasting a hail
storm. More than one poor fellow went
down under the rain Of bullets and frag-
ments of shell, but the fence was reached
and cover obtained. The Sixty-fourth, Six
ty-fifth and Fifty eighth Indiana followed,
and the whole brigade were scarcely under
cover when the Confederates were within
q stones throw. They had to give back be-
fore the terrific fire, and for a time were
badly demoralized. Before they could flank
Wood out of his position the gap in the
Federal lines had been filled.
