Wet ard Damp.

The sudden application of wet sheet
is a stimulus to which the system re-
spends with reaction which sets up a
brisk circulation, resulting in healthy
glow and general activity of the organs.
In addition to this. it is probable that
some of the evil ''humors" of the body
may DO dissolved out through the pores
of the skin.
All this is healthy, provided the sys-
tenn can Withstand the shock and the
heat is kept in by blankets outside the
sheet. In the case of damp sheets, how
ever, there is no stimulus, and the body
merely loses heat i'll absorbing the mois-
ture.
This loss contracts the surface vessels
and drives an excess of blood back upon
the internal organs. Added to this dis
turbance of the blood circulation there
is also a congestion of the lubricating
fluids of the surface muscles and joints,
which produces stiffness and in serious
cases rheumatism, complicated through
the other causes with fever.

TAYLOURS AND SMITHS.
They Were the COmmOnest Trade,
In the Thirteenth Century.

They Were the Commonest Trades
In the Thirteenth Century.
The manufacture of leather in the
thirteenth century seems to have been
important showing that leather jenkins
and breaches were commonly worn. We
have 10 skynners, 40 barkars, 6 Sad
delers, 3 cordeweners, 1877 souters,
(shoemakers) and 8 glovers. The sur
name feuster is a trade name denoting
maker of pack saddles
The commonest trades are taylour and
smyth, since one lived in. almost every
village The taylours number 407, of
whom 140 are called by the Latin name
of cissor. In addition to 261 smyths,
several are specialized. There are two
arusmyths, three lokesmyths, three
goldsmyths, five fferours (shoeing
smiths) and six marshalls (farriers).
The wright wrought both in wood
and metal The number catalogued is
1856, of whom 81 are called by the Latin
name faber lFrench favre), one of the
few cases in which the Latin transla
ton of n trade name has become a COM
mon surname. The wryghts' trade, like
that of the smyths was specialized.
The arkwryght made the great arks or
chests in which the clothes or meal
were stored, and we find plowwryght,
a wheelwryght. two shippewryghts, II
cartwryghts and two glasswryghts (gla-
ziers), who were probably concerned
with the windows of churches. Glass
windows in houses were rare. as is still
the case in Sicily CT Egypt.
The bakesters are few G5), suggesting
that families baked their own bread.
There are 26 butchers (1eshewer bocher
or carnifex), whence Labouchere. while
the surname potter shows that this
trade was in existence. The fysshers
(43). were opulent. being taxed 1 times
as much as laborers. Notes and Que

The Thinking Movement.

No battle plans have heen more gen.
orally used than the fianking move
ments intended to overwhelm one end
of an opponents fighting line, to the
great and probably fatal weakening OF
the rest of his position. The Confeder.
ates used these tactics in their most sue
cessful battles of the civil war, and is
is worthy of notice that their attacks
which were particularly daring and
successful were almost invariably made
against the Federal right wing
The troubles peculiar to that unlucky
part of the northern armies began at
Bull Run, and continued, east and west,
for over two years. At that battle the
Federal right wing made a well planned
movement against the Confederate left.
Both sides fought we'll for new troops,
"Stonewall'' jackson earning his battle
name by the resistance he and his men
made to the attack against them. but
the Federals had gained ground and
were still advancing, when fresh Con-
federate forces fell on the regiments at
the right end of their line of battle.
The historical stampede that followed
was an unfortunate but perfectly nat
ural result. - 1.-The Unlucky Right
Wing" by Gilbert Tompkins, in North

RishOp Buffalo Bill.

a rather good story is told about
Bishop Doane and another member of
the Episcopal house of bishops from tho
middle states, who is fond of joke, as
many IF the venerable gentlemen of the
church are. Bishop Doane addresses his
colleagues with whom he is on especial
ly familiar terms by the name of their
diocese instead of by their surnames,
and in correspondence frequently makes
use of his own and other titles, relates
the Washington Times.
1t is related that ON ono occasion he
wrote letter to the other bishop refer
red to and in signing it used che term
civilian of Albany" instead of his
name. His correspondent promptly re-
piled to the letter, and in his answer
said:
ut is really too bad, bishop, that
you are not of the western diocese of
your state instead of Albany. If you
were, you might very appropriately
sign yourself Buffalo Bill. -

FIRST TO GROW ORANGES.
Jesuits Introduced Them Into the
Pelican State.

Jesuits Introduced Them Into the
Pelican State.
The orange of Louisiana is an excep-
| tionally fine variety of that fruit, and
| commands a good price in the market
1.-THE orange was first introduced into
| colonial Louisiana by the Jesuits, hav-
| ing been first grown by the members of
| the society on their grounds, which
formerly comprised that part of the city
| of New Orleans which constitutes the
| lower part of the first district, down to
| Common street.
While St Bernard and Plaquemines
| parishes are the chief centers of the
orange culture of Louisiana, the fruit
| also grows we'll in the parishes of Or
leans, jefferson, ST. James, st. John
Baptist, St Charles, Assumption, st.
| Mary, Terrebonne, Lafourche, Vermil-
| ion, Cameron, Iberia and Sabine. The
| orange tree begins to bear at about the
seventh year, although it is not reck-
oned to have reached its full growth
until its twelfth or fifteenth year
The orange culture in Louisiana is
probably the most profitable industry of
the state under favorable conditions, a
full grown tree producing from 8, 900
to o, 900 oranges, the fruit on the tree
generally selling for $40 thousand,
and as some of the largest orchards in
the state yield as many as 3, 900, 600
oranges their market value gives
prlncely income to the owners of the
trees Comparatively very small acre
age of the state rs devoted to the growth
of oranges-possibly not more than
2, 200 acres.
The sweetness, delicacy and juiciness
of the Louisiana orange. the best of
which are regarded in the markets out
side of Louisiana as superior to even TIE
oranges of Cuba. to which island the
fruit is indigenous, render the Louisi-
ana oranges highly priced in the north
and west of the United States, so much
so that the supply is not by any means
equal to the demand. Orleans

Former Parliamentary Privileges.

The privilege Of freedom from arrest
enjoyed by members CT parliament is
confined to civil matters; but, since the
abolition of Imprisonment for debt, this
immunity hiss been shorn of most of it's
utility. Formerly it was very useful
privilege. Disraeli says of one of the
characters in his first novel, "Vivian
Grey" that 1.-The only way to keep him
out of the house of correction was to
get him into the house of commons.
Parliament was then a convenient haven
of refuge for splendid paupers. u
In one case an English member named
Mills, who owed e23, coo aad for whose
arrest a warrant was in the hands of
the sheriff, avoided Imprisonment by
purchasing a seat for one of the old
"rotten boroughs" in 1907 for the sum
of 81, 600. In another case an Irishmau
named Bourke was confined in the
Kings Bench prison about 30 years
ago in execution for considerable debt.
His friends got him elected for an Irish
constituency, but he never entered the
house. On his release after election
he fled to the continent and remained
there.
Again in 1925 the year before Dis
raeli published "Vivian Grey" man
who was in prison for debt was returned
for Bererley, a small English borough,
and was forthwith released on a war
rant issued by Mr.. Speaker. 1t was
case in real life of from the house of
correction to the house of commcns.-
