SEA AND MOUNTAIN AIR.
The Relative Merits of Each for ysrisz

The Relative Merits Of Each for variezi
Diseases.
Sea air and mountain air. both being
tonic, will undoubtedly improve the
health that is already fairly good.
Children almost invariably do well at
the seaside, while the mountain resorts
are in general much less suitable TO
them The same rule implies, though
for different reasons, to the aged.
Dyspepsia, especially if of hepatic
origin, often does badly at the seaside,
but well in the mountains. Skin dis
eases, especially eczema, are often ag-
gravated by sea air. 1t is not clear
that mountain air has any effect upon
them Struma, in all its protear
shapes, does notably better at the sea
side than anywhere else. The bracing
marine resorts should generally be
chosen The existence of rheumatism,
cardiac disease, or renal disease is Tlsu
ally sufficient reason for placing q
veto on the mountains. Bronchitis and
emphysema do badly in the mountains,
but often well 1T the more sheltered
marine resorts.
Obstinate insomnia is a contra-indica-
ton against both sea and mountain re-
sorts, and calls usually for the shell
tered island resorts. Milder cases of
insomnia, however, are often much
benefited both at the seaside and
among the mountains. Hysteria does
very badly IN the mountains and often
not well at the seaside. Here, again, IL

both at the seaside and among the

"Bouncer's" opponent, in this re-
.rnarkabIe game Of checkers, was a
heavily built giant, known as SLEEPY

him to understand how he came by

the prisoner: "Sit Gown On that chair

minutes, he whispered something to

capturing two kings, and making it a
draw game.
'Bouncer'' fixed bad eye on the
prisoner, while Sleepy joe immersed
his features in a'''growlerr OF beer, and
gurgled audibly.

an ominous scowi, Its a great pity

The prisoner protested mildly that
he didn't mean any harm.

stimulating quality of the beer,
imagined that be was back at his old
