AJnpane.e Hyeienio Bath.

In hygienic matters the japanese
have everywhere habit which may
have lesson for u.s.. In their nightly
bath and morning wash the water is
never cold, never warm, but always as
hot as it can be borne. To foreigners
this habit seems very surprising, but
the most inveterate Englishman, if he
stays in the country long enough, aban-
dons his cold tub in its favor.
The cold taking which. it is suspect
ed, must follow ii is not found to occur
if the water has been hot enough. This
heat is maintained by little furnace
beneath the bath. In the bath the
bather or bathers take Il prolonged
soaking, the washing proper being done
on the bathroom floor; then follow a
second and final soaking, drying with
towel and n lounge in bathing wrapper.
This habit seems to promote softness
and SuppleneSs of the skin and by per-
sons inclined to rheumatism is soon
found to be altogether preferable to
the cold bath in every particular. The
poorest of the Japanese hear of q cold
bath with amaZement and would be
sure the man who used it must be q
barbarian.

In Luck's Way.

Custom house men have sometimes
made other captures besides those OF
contraband goods. 4 man who had eff
fected aheavy jewelry robbery in a sea-
port town was .retreating with his
plumber, and. having deposited it in a
boat. he rowed himself across the har-
Dor to a timber wharf, landed and, put
ting the sack across his shoulders, was
making off, when a revenue officer,
who had been DOING among the tim
Der, reused by the noise, came out and
stopped him and asked what he had
got in the sack. He quickly replied:
You are welcome to look. I'll go on
board and fetch the other" And off the
went, and. as may be imagined. he did
not turn up again, as no other sack ex-
listed The officer on opening the bag
was rather astonished to find 1t full of
watches and spoons instead of a few
hundred cigars, such as sailors some
times try to land.

The Cause of Consumption Is
Often a Common Cold.

Nine cases of consumption out of ten
occur in this way:
A person catches a cold. The cold is not
properly cured. and they quickly catch
another one. This cold is dilly-dallied
with by no treatment. or some treatment
that is Intellectual. and the cold continues.
Then they catch another cold and begin
to cough. Then they take cough syrups.
but they do no good
BY and by they get tired of taking med
icine. and give UP in despair.
Their cold continues and their cough
grows worse. Then they apply to doc
tor. only to discover that they are in the
first stages of consumption.
At any time Daring the progress Of the
catarrh, from the first onset Of the cold
to its final settlement in the lungs, PERU
ma can be relied upon to check the prog
ress Of the catarrh. Sometimes after dag
nosis of consumption has been made by
competent physicians Peruna has perma-
nently cured. We have testimonials from
many people who have been given up to
die Of consumption. who claim to have been
cured by Peruna. We do not recommend
Peruna as a consumption cure. but we do
