 A NEW IDEA ANENT JEwKLRY.
 Jewelry, 1t seems, has an hygenic value, with which, perhaps, 1t has never until now been duly credited, it's value in coin of the realm being all that was apparent to the general understanding.
 But we are now assured that 1t has con- siderable effect in raising the temperature of the body. The friction of necklace, slight as it may be, keeps the throat warm and may ward off bronchitis and laryngi- tis. Bracelets keep the wrists warm, as everybody knows, and it Is possible that an ear ring may keep an ear from free zlpg. woman's bangles are the warmer she fe els, and there fig probably physiological basis of fact for what was meant for satire. At any rate. we all are aware that to remove necklace carelessly, or to take the string of beads from a little child's neck, induces slight and sometimes even serious soreness of the throat.
 There are untold possibilities in the de- vslopment of this new ides, and jewelry will be more popular than ever, especially in wintry weather. A "lsdy physioisn" of Philadelphia, 30 it is said, is experi- menting in this line, going upon the prin- ciple that the temperature of the body may be raised or lowered according as the wrist is kept warm or cool. She has al ready invented "pulse coolers" for sum- mer, which are spheroids of ross crystals, | winter wear she has 'pulse warmers" !" which are strips of asbestos, @ non con ductor. enveloped in velvet. and fastened | with diamond claps. If this plan can be elaborated we shall yet have cold weather ! ornaments-little self feeding heaters l worn in profusiop, while in sultry summer days we may either discard jsweiry alto gether or wear various kinds of "coolers'' upon our wrists and arms and throsts. | There is an old story of q much be jaw eled lady, travelling in stage coach in in element weather, and complaining bitterly of the cold. To her Quaker fellow pas senaer gently said: "Friend, had not thee better put on another breastpina'
 We used to laugh at this as joke, and consider 1t rather caustic-for Quaker but now we discover him to be a scientist, with ideas far in advance of those of his time. Another breastpin, with 8 few bangles, might have raised her tempers, ture considerably, almost as much as did the pointed question, while her temper would not have been reused at all.
 The problem now ie: what are those oi us to do who have not. and cannot get, "another breastpin'; and cannot indulge ir pulse-coolers of rose crystals; or ward of larypgitis, and phary naitis, and severa other ilises, by means of diamond neck laces and ropes of pearls and strands o emerslds and rubiesa Summer will bi kind to us, but in winter we shall have tt depend upon fires and warm clothing, jus as ye did before the thermal qualities O jewelry were made known to Us. And, &
 pinch, we can try the following yer.
 simple method of warming up on coli day when the room is not quite warn enough and continued bodily exercise ma, not Ee indulged in. Stand perfectly erect ? with the head thrown well back, the arm by the sides, and the chest we'll expanded Expel the air from the lungs through th mouth. Then close the mouth, and dra, a long. deep breath through the nose Keep the air in ss long as possible. an, ! then slowly expel 1t through the mouth . This exercise ehould be repeated five o
 six times, and the body will become com
 fortably warm.
