s.HARDENING'' OF CHILDREN.
suits Apt TO Follow Unwise Meas.
ures Sometimes Adopted.

; Hecker is outspoken in his objec-
tions to the methods pursued in the
so-called Hardening" of children by
the means of cold douches or baths.
AS a rule, children thus treated are
more susceptible to nasal catarrhs,
throat affections, bronchitis and pull
monary inf1ammations than those
who have not been subjected to the
hardening" process, says the New
York Medical Record. Furthermore,
such measures frequently give rise to
pronounced anaemia and various dis
orders of the nervous system. Chill
dren so hardened" are especially
prone to acute and chronic intestinal
disorders.
While in healthy children a properly
conducted Hardening" process is
often of advantage, it must be remem-
bered that there are no hard and fast
rules, and that every case must be
treated according to the individual in
dications. The fundamental princi-
pies of proper Hardening" system
are as follows: ~ Gradual acclima-
ton to the air of the room; (2) grad
ual acclima ton to outdoor air; (3)
gradual acclimation to cold water:
(4) suitable clothing accord
ing to the weather and time of year.
Great care should be observed in ac-
tclimating the child to cold water, and
the effects of the same should be care
fully watched, the endeavors being at
once suspended on the first appearance
sof any unfavorable symptoms.
On no account should any of the
Hardening" measures be commenced
until the nursing period is passed, and
in all cases the process should be one
of gradual Advancement.

Occupations and Color of Hair

Occupations and Color of Hair.
DR.. Bedloe has said that there is
a distinct relation between mans
pursuits and the color of his hair.
An unusual proportion of men with
dark, straight hair enter the minis
try; red-whiskered men are apt to
be given to sporting and horsefesh;
while the tall, vigorous, blonde man,
lineal descendant of the Vikings, still
contributes a large contingent to
travellers and migrants. = Detroit

"Our New Minister" was greeted by
a big Conference throng at the Theater
last evening. Few things could have
been selected that would have pleased
the taste Of the gathering better. The
play is written by Denman Thompson,
himself the central figure In the most
famous rural play OF the day, THE Old
Homestead" and he has attempted 70
build something along the same lines.
OF course, he has not equalled the Ia
nous original, but he has created a
most hilarious succession of sketches OF
country life and they kept the audi
ence In an uproar from beginning to end
last night The types are all exagger-
ated, but they are well portrayed, es-
pecially the country detective Of Mr..
COnyers, the Holton Of Mr.. Barker, the
0bediah Of Mr. Fierce, the Skeeslcks OF
Mr., Brown, end the postmaster OF Mr..
Scott. The new minister OF Mr.. ferris
