ing and warm ones just before retiring.
In taking Turkish or Russian baths the
hour need not be considered, except as
in all baths, none of which should be
taken less than an hour or so before
ora fter meals.
Where it is possible use fresh. clean
rain water for the bath. This is the
nearest approach to distilled water,
which is too expensive for general use.
Soft water is next best to rain water,
and a little boraX or.a ammonia in hard
water will soften it.
Brisk rubbing should always follow
bath; then the bath will do all that is
claimed for it in the way of renovating
the person, invigorating the system, in
creasing the fineness and softness OF
the skin, and making one look and feel
younger. n :t
Cleanliness of the skin has a great
effect on the general health, and it is
well known that if one has been exposed
TO infection the best thing to do by
way of precaution is to take hot bath
Immediately. .a,
1t is a mistake TO remain TOGO long
in tepid bath Thirty minutes should
be the limit. Throughout the winter
and early spring it is best, If one is at

night, just before going to bed, II taken
int he day time, brisk exercise immed-
lately afterward-either walking or
dumbell practice-is highly beneficial.

BOARDING HOUSES IN PORTO RICO.
They Arc Advertising American Cookery
as an Attraction.

Consul Hanna writes from San Juan,
Porto Rico. that since the island was
turned over to the United States Amer
lean boarding houses have been pop
ping into view in all directions SucIl a
thing as family or L private boarding
house was unknown under the Spanish
regime, but they are now appearing,
and advertise that they employ Ameri-
an cooks and serve their meals in Amer
lean style. The proprietors evidently
expect an influx of winter tourists from
the states.
The island, however, is hardly pre-
pared to make visitors comfortable UNI
til its hotel accommodations are in
creased, The present hotels are small,

never originated in fresh water, and the
only explanation is that they came into
the lake at the time when nearly the
whole of Siberia was below sea level
The depression filled by the lake is Of
enormous depth. The bottom in some
parts is three-fourths of a

are undistinguishable from the r'loca

people in the neighborhood eagerly hunt

sold at large profit to Chinese traders.
A while ago an English naturalist
named Gunther declared that he found
number of marine animals in the
waters of the central African lake,
Tanganyika, about 800 miles from the
sea. 1t has since been found that his
report was correct, for the lake con-

doing their best to hide their defect
from the eyes of the world by wearing
neat and pretty dresses, arranging
their hair with the utmost care and
cultfvating generally a cheerful APP

about, tapping with their long walking

THIS is rarely hard to find. as they
are in great demand by the natives who
suffer from rheumatism. The climate
of"Japan is damp, and the little Japs
dress almcst entirely in cotton, so that
the wet penetrates to the very bones,
and cripples them with rheumatism
while they are yet very young. The

improve matters, and fire places or

SEA ANIMALS IN FRESH WATERS


Explorers Make Remarkable Discoverie
in Three Continents.
From the New York Sun.
In the summer of 1896 A. P. Low of
the Canadian geological survey made a
journey through the central regions of
Labrador and revealed a large extent
of new territory. He Travelled north
for 500 miles, using the little rivers for
his canoe when possible and crossing
many portages. He finally came to
lake fifty miles long and from half d
mile to five miles wide. The lake stands
500 feet above the sea and is about loo
miles from it. The explorers surprise
was very great When he discovered in
this lake large number Of seals which
appeared to be the common harbor seals
or closely allied species. In other
words, he found sea animals in fresh
water lake far from the sea and high
above it. He learned that these ami
mails are breeding rapidly in their fresh
water habitat and that some of them
are killed every year by the Indians.
Seal lake is the name ne gave it.
/, His conclusion as to how the seals
came to be in the lake is doubSlsss cor
rect He found evidences all around
that this was a part of the region that
was submerged by the sea in the Cham
plain or late glacial epoch. At that.
time the lake was undoubtedly connect
ed with the sea, and when the land be-
gan to rise again, Mr. Low says, the
seals, having found the lake full of
fish, lost their inclination to return to
the sea- So there they are living to-
day fully adapted to their new condi-
lions of life.
Similar Instances that are etill more
remarkable have been found IN recent
years. In the great Siberian lake. Bal
kal which is LEGO feet above the sea
and hundreds of miles from it, are rum
erous of seals and number Of species
Of marine crustaceans. OF course they

BLIND MAssEuRs IN JAPAN.
They Are Very Expert and Do Flour
ishinp Business.

AT an early age all the poor little
blind boys and girls in Japan are mi
tiated into the mysteries of shampooing
and massage. Everyone knows that
the sense of touch inathe blind is ve:y
fully developed by habit and necessity,
and the Japanese have taken advan-
tage of this fact, rightly concluding
that the blind are fitted by nature TO
become delicate and gentle masseurs.
The trade is, therefore, reserved entire
ly for them, no other people being al
lowed to pursue it.
In spite of the inevitable pathos of
the situation these shampcoers are one
of the picturesque features of Japan

A UMMER-TlME CHRISTMAS,
Hottest Day of the Year in Argentina.
How 1t Began, Continued and Ended.

A special correspondence to the New
York Sun from Buenos Ayres says:
Christmas in the southern hemisphere
is wholly different to a Northerner from
Christmas on the other side of the line.
Probably the difference comes from
living backward" as Lewis Carroll
said in Through the Looking Glass"
1T makes one little giddy at first"
But even if it is the living backward
that puts the first covering of queer
ness to the day down here, yet the eli
mate and the manners and customs fin
ish up the oddly of the occasion. You
really cannot be rollicking with the
thermometer at 100 in the shade, and a
blazing plum pudding does not create
in you a desire for a closer acquaint-
ance.
Christmas eve was brilliant and
bright with a nice GOODNESS in the air
say about sand we all had hopes of
Christmas. That afternoon was a
queer combination of the English cele-
bration and the Spanish. The English
men, meaning also the Americans and
Germans, went home with parcels and
