NERCIl SEA BATHING @HARNFUL2

OF the day he goes to the seashore and
takes a plunge. 1t recuperates him very
quickly and. If he does not stay In too
long he derives real benefit.
Many very stout persons go to the sea-
shore to reduce their weight Well, that

Sea bathing Is very strenuous exercise.
consider that simply standing in the surf
or holding the rope for 20 minutes is
equal to the exertion of walking 10 miles.
Every muscle in the body is called upon
while that volume of water is pounding
about a person, and when he comes out
of the surf with his finger nails and lips
blue and his teeth chattering he is really
In serious condition and should go at
once to his bath room and have brisk
rubbing and glass of hot milk or coffee
The greatest care should be used In
the case of children. Parents are prone
to let them play around on the sand,
frequently for a whole afternoon, during
which time they take frequent plunges.
This should not be allowed. Children, no
matter how strong and apparently healthy
they are, should not be allowed to go
into the water more than once day.
and then should not remain in more than
Ave minutes. If they are chattering when
they come out they should not be allowed
to go IN at all"
Another eminent physician stated that
many persons dated their invalidisn from
overindulgence in sea bathing.
II believe that a dry. polish as II is
called, every day, and a good soaking
once "a month Is enough. The oily condi-
tion OF the skin should be allowed to re-
main, and this can be done by an or
binary wash Primitive man only got
a. bath when 1t rained. and I think per-
haps he was better of for it. Surf bathing

ORIGIN OF The WORD 4GRoe.v,
II Commemorate an English Admiral
Who Wore eroeram Clothing.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
1t is often not a little amusing to listen
to the conversation of 'landlubbers' when
they discuss naval affairs. Many a man
who has been on board OF a war ship or
visited a navy yard, or perhaps seen an
officer in uniform few times, imagines
that he knows all about naval affairs, and
If he should attempt to write a book upon
the subject he would probably give 1t
title like this: What 1 Have Seen and
Those Whom Have Known in the Navy"
A couple Of days ago. in an uptown club
room. there was a group OF navy men,
and a landsman in the party discussed
the canteen question of the army, and
added that the American navy did a
wholesome thing when II followed Eng
lands example in abolishing the 'grog'
ration. But he was told that England did
mot abolish the grog ration before the
American navy did. and that 1t was in
1868 that the liquor ration in the Ameri-
can navy was abolished, largely through
the influence of Admiral Foote. The sub
ject became one Of general discussion, the
officers themselves commencing the move
ment of 1863 when one of the officers pres
ent remarked: -
There are not so many people who
know the origin of the word 'grog, and
there is a less number who know that
grog, as grog, contains a very small per-
centage of liquor. The origin of the term
dates back to the days of Admiral Yer
non, of the British navy, who was promi
nent in the early part of the eighteenth
century. His favorite clothing was OF
grogram, a fabric of silk and mohair.
hence he was called old Grog' After he
became commanding officer he adopted
this method Of Furnishing a sailor in the
/ severest manner: He ordered that whenev
er a soldier should be guilty of insubor-
dinatfon or misconduct for which court
martial could be ordered the court-maF-
tial should be waived and the delinquent
be punished by being made to take his
liquor for certain number of days diluted
to seven parts OF water to one part of
spirits Why. gentlemen, you can mag
Inc that to a sailor there could not be
punishment, except death, much more Sc
we're than this. Could you stand 1t your
self? From that time the 'grog ration
was identified as the well watered liquor
for punishment until. the term became
generally applied. to the gill Of liquor
served out regularly on board ship"

| is any benefit to be gained by that person
from sea bathing. 1t Is true that many
children can afford TO stay In the water
longer than the overset limits, put IL Is
not unusual to observe children starting
for home in the late summer or early au-
tumn with rather hollow cheeks and APP
parently large eyes instead of the rudy

DR.. Simon Bar,ich, OF No. 81 West Sew
entieth street, who is an authority on the
subject OF bathing and a strong advocate
of II, spends his summers at Elberon,
N. j.. where his opportunities TOT Cd
serving the effect of sea bathing are
unlimited. DR.. Baruch says that a very
large majority of persons have an entirely
wrong idea OF the benefits Of surf bathing;
in fact. few OF them have any idea OF the
effects OF II.
"In fact" said Dr. Barueh, there is
no disease which surf bathing Will benefit;
in most instances 1t is positively harmful;
and In many cases 1t is very dangerous.
Take. for instance, persons with weak
hearts or weak lungs. In. their cases II Is
serious matter to plunge into the surf,
and any one so afflicted should never DO
It unless under the care and observation

There is also mistaken idea that there
is some benefit derived from the ehemi-
cal ingredients in sea water. This is not
at all the case, as there is no stimulation
in salt water. G
There is but one condition that know

Shall Man Open His Wife's Letters

Shall a Man Open His Wife's Letters.
This question is being asked in some OF
the newspapers.
It seems TO be an unnecessary question
to ask, because the wife's letters are her
own property and she should exercise her
own, discretion about what is done with
them. II she is quite willing TO have
them opened and read by her husband, all
we'll and good. but nobody should open
the letters OF another person without their
willing consent, and IL is a species of con-
temptible littleness in a man to arrogate
this privilege 20 himself unless the wife
accedes to II willingly.
Sometimes a child Is away from home
and the father desires to hear from the
absent one. when the opening OF the moth
er's letter would be quite proper, and no
friction expected-but the question as
understand IL means the general CORE
spondence OF married woman, with her
friends and relatives. believe a married
woman has right to read her own let
tiers first. and 1 know Of no right that
her husband can claim which entities him
to read them at all without her consent.
In married life the parties do not lose
any OF the prerogatives of a gentleman
or lady IL both are well born and well
bred. The marriage license does not grant
any liberties TO one that the other fails
TO enjoy OF inherit. Each has a right "a
their own belongings, ana as see IL,
very clear claim to their personal CORE
spondence. More than that, I do not think
a real gentleman would open his wife's
letters without her permission freely
given.
Children should be taught that ones let.
tiers are the property of the one written
to. not 70 be tempered with by anybody
else The postofice regulations are very
strict about opening the letters OF others.
II is a principle based on ownership as
well as fair dealing, and is eminently
correct
A woman gives up her name when she
marries but she does not lose her proper
" by the change. and her chiidren's fu-
ture is not menaced by such ownership OF
property.
II Is considered best that a woman's
name should be merged into that of hel
husband for convenience and the sake OF
her children. but I'm truth and right she

sire 10 do that much.

- vacationists who flock to the sea-
III shore each summer for rest, rec, &c,
reation and recuperation will find

DIR. John H. Grannis, president OF the

his remarks on careful observation cover

DR.. Grannis is not alone in his opinion
OF the effects of sea bathing, and several
well known New York practitioners have
given The Sunday Herald their views on
the subject. all agreeing that surf bath
ing is greatly overdone by the average
vacatonist.
DR.. Grannis. in the course of his address,
said:
THAT salt water bathing is a panacea
for all ills seems somehow to be the pre-
vaiiing impression. People from the In
terror are particularly convinced of 1t and
practice It very freely in their outings
