Are Cold Baths Dangerous9

The popular notion of the injurious.
effect Of cold bath taken by onc who
is oyerhcatcd from exercise must pcs
sess-is all such ideas hayo-somr ba-
sis IN experience, yet it Is falsiicd by
the experience Of athletes from the days
of the Greeks and Romans even until
now, who find i'll this procedure Il re-
froshing and stimulating tonic ;Jtcr the
eXertions they have recently undergone
And, physiologically speaking, a cold
plunge on douchc taken Immediately
after the physical effort, when the skin
is acting freely and there is a sense of
heat throughout the body, is as rational
as III the experience of the athlete it is
beneficial
The popular belief doubtless rests ON
the injurious effects which may be i'll
duced by the bath on one who does not
resort to it Immediately, but allows
time for the effects of fatigue to show
themselves on the muscles and nerves,
md for the surface of the body to get
tool. Taken then the bath is more like
ly to dcpress than to stimulate. There
is less power of reaction and greater
liability to internal inflammation At
such time warm rather than cold
bath is more suitable. London Tit

Cowslip and Bachelors Baton

have exchanged thcir names largely.

Tie summer kisses into fragrant glory,
When grooming bees tell many a sweet love

And all the wealth of honeysuckles blow.
Round the bare branches, orack'd and gnarl'd

A myriad trumpets for the elves unfold:
And far and near there floats a perfume
From clustering masses crimson, flusb'd and
creamy,
Soft as girls blushes-deep as molten gold
Like Hamadryad from the old trunk springing
Forth To fresh youth amid the sweetness
Or blue eyed wood nymph in wild cadence

The honeysuckle falling on her hair.

And rs life 5 path grows wider to your feet,
Heaven send You gifts in no unstnted meas

And the soft fushes of loves rapture sweet

The hidden fragrance yielding to Cod sun
Where other hearts in chill despair arc break.

GERMAN PAWNSHOPS.
Some Are Managed by Government and
Others by individuals.


There is q royal pawnshop in Berlin,
there are state pawnshops, ducal pawn
shops, county pawnshops, city or NUM-
cipal pawnshops and private pawnshops.
The municipal and private pawnshops
may both exist in the same town. The
rate Of interest Was fixed by a law
passed in 1881 at not moro than u per
cent per annum on loans under 20
marks, and not over y per cent on
larger sums.
In Berlin the pawnshop is a royal Ill
stitution aud is not allowed to make Il
profit. Its surplus goes to charitable
purposes At Hanau no interest is
charged OH loans up to marks if the
articles are redeemed within six days.
At Hof, i'll Baden, people are allowed to
raise money, giving as security the re-
ceipt of their wages two or three weeks
ahead
At Weimar and Hanau anonymous
pawning is the rule. No names are
asked and no address is given. Provision
is made at Memel for merchants depos-
iting goods i'll time of temporary embar-
rassment
At Bautzen raw wool is received in
pledge At Bromberg military accouter-
ments are excluded from the articles
which may be pawncd The pawnshop
at Detmold will not receive articles in
pawn from servants without the consent
Of their masters. At Altenberg and one
or two other places 10 one is allowed to
pawn articles of moro than 100 marks
value without the consent of the town
council.
Although private pawnbrokers exist
alongside the municipal institutions, in
many towns the latter refuse To DO bust
less with the former secondhand deal
ers and pawnbrokers are especially pro-
hibitcd from resorting tn the municipal
pawnshop.
\ salutary regulation against dealing
withpaWn tickets is frequently enforced.
The rite of interest fluetuates a great
deal i'll Germany, aud Is highest for
small sums loaned for short periods.
The average Is about IL per cent and on
loans issued against securities on )
per cent. Berlin Letter.
