THE BATH AFTER EXERCISE.
Unless IL Is Taken ~ Once 1t should Not
h, a Cold One.

He q Cold One.
The popular notion of the injurious ef-
feet Of a cold bath taken by one who Is
overheated from exercise must possess, as
all such ideas have, some basis in expert
ence, and yet 1t Is falsified by the expert
ences of athletes from the days OF the
Greeks and Romans even until now, who
find in this procedure refreshing and
stimulating tonic after the exertion they
have recently undergone. And, physio-
logically speaking, cold plunge or douche
taken Immediately after the physical ef-
fort, when the skin Is acting freely and
there is sense of heat throughout the
body, is as rational as, in the experience
of the athlete il is beneficial. 1t is paral-
leled by the tonic effect produced by the
cold plunge when the skin is actively Sc
creting after Turkish bath and finds its
rationale doubtless In the stimulation OF
the nervous system, in the increase OF In
ternal circulation and also in the renewal
of activity to the cutaneous circulation
after the momentary contraction OF blood
vessels due to the cold.
The populart belief doubtless rests on
the injurious effects which may be in
duced by the bath in one who does not re-
sort to it Immediately, but allows time for
the effects of fatigue TO show themselves
on the muscles and nerves, and for the
surface of the body to get cool Taken
then, the bath is more likely to depress
than to stimulate; there is less power OF
reaction and greater liability TO internal
inflammations At such time a warm
bath rather than q cold one is more suit
able and more safe.-London Lancet.

The supposed efficacy of black cat as a
lightning rod has been too frequently the
subject of discussion and assertion to be
treated at length at the present time An
illustration of this popular belief can be
deduced from an incident that occurred to
the wife of we'll known business man of
Washington.
The young matroD had been expending
considerable time and attention upon "a
handsome black cat, which she continued
to stroke notwithstanding the assertion OF
her family that by so doing she was charg-
ing herself with electricity. Finally after
dark she decided that a pleasant way OF
winding up the evening would be TO go
for a ride on the electric cars TO Bethesda.
Accordingly, inviting two of her friends
to accompany her, she set out for the ride
In high spirits.
The trio found places together near the
middle of the car and had gone short
space beyond the power house when their
conversation was interrupted by the con-
ductor hurricdly bending over them, as
though to avert some catastrophe from be-
meath, and telling them TO leave the car
with all speed, as it was on fire. Scarcely
had they left their seats before sheet OF
flame burst through the floor just under
the very spot over which the young ma
tron had been sitting the electrical APP
paratus beneath having ignitcd at that
very point She declares she will never
stroke another Washington Post.
