why Sand Baths Arc uealthfui.

A well known medical authority writes:
Sand baths, readily obtainable on the sea.
shore, are very beneficial for rheumatism
and some other ailments. As, however,
sand consists chiefly of particles of slick or
flint, including comparatively little veg
etable matter, the benefit occasionally re-
ceived from a sand bath must be chiefly
derived from its constituting a slightly
moist paste excluding the air, the effect of
which is to promote copious emulation
from the skin. Wet soils. on the contrary,
found near mineral springs, sometimes eff
cacious in the treatment of cutaneous dis
orders, are of course composed in varying
proportions of vegetable and mineral sub
stances more or less in solution. These in
sum represent chemical combinations that
are frequently beneficial to the skin when
diseased.
Sometimes very severe cases of rheumatic
troubles have been cured by mud baths.
There is place in Germany where the en-.
tire cure consists of burying the patient to
his neck in the damp soil. 1t is certain
that children who play much in sand and
dirt are nearly always healthful.

Every farmer ought to know how to
measure his products without taking the
trouble to remove them from the bins or
other receptacles. For instance, two cubic
feet of dry corn in the ear will make a
bushel, and to find out how many bushels
there are in u crib take the inside measure
ments, multiply the length by the breadth,
this by the height and divide by two, which
will give the number of bushels of shelled
corn. In apples and potatoes get the GU
bical contents MS before, divide by eight
and point off one figure for decimals. In
hay find the cubical contents and allow
512 cubic feet to the ton. The result in
each case will be so nearly correct that the
difference will be inappreciable.-St, Louis

No Other Student Studies So Hard or

Year after year gymnasiums, high schools
and universities send out into the world,
there to look for living, multtudes OF
overwrought youths, teeming with instruc.
ton which has untitled them for bread

These youths have been "put through the

Nothing il less like tho school life of Eng
gland than thy Of Germany. In the first
place 1t is entirely devoid Of the element of
play. Games, such as those which consti-
tute an important feature OF our education
al curriculum and are specifically associa-
tive in character, are unknown to the boys
who attend German gyrnnasiums and Real
schulen. All these establishments are 10
the nature of day schools. They do not
take in boarders. No leisure moment Of the
scholars life is spent within their precincts;
consequently no Fairgrounds are attached
to them, and they are exclusively utilized
for study. There is no such thing us crick-
ct or football, rowing or paper chasing at a
German school, nor were those or any other
open air sports tolerated by the manage
ment of any educational institution would
there be any time for indulgence in them.
