"The cult of the rain BATH" is the
poetical name given to the latest complex
ion cure. Somebody having discovered
what everybody else has always known,
that rain water is good for the complex
ion, and that fogs and damp weather
tend to prolong the delicate pink-and-
witness of the cheeks, the young girls
and younger matrons at fashionable
watering places this summer went for
rain baths. That is to say, as soon as
a stiff shower set in, everybody made off
to the bath houses, put on her bathing
toys andelolled around on the beach. The
idea was to get thoroly wet before taking
the final plunge into the surf.

HEALTH. AND HYGIENE

Water drinking is one of the simple
laws of health that is neglected because
Of it's very simplicity. The human body,
says Health Culture, is practically a sack
Of water. The body Of the average man
contains over half a barrel Of water. This
water, in the form Of twenty different
fluids, is constantly fuctuating back and
forth among the tissues, doing the work
Of the body, and if there be any deficiency
of water in the body this work will suffer.
The excretions Of the body especially can
be properly carried off only when the sup
ply of water is sufficient. Two quarts
daily of pure water, preferably distilled,
is little enough for the average person In
ordinary weather In hot weather this
may be increased somewhat, not only
without danger, but with positive relief.
The greatly accelerated action of the kid
neys and skin is the best assurance of the
safety Of the Individual. e .

Salt is said to be preventive of Tester
ing in scratches, open wounds, etc. An
American teacher in Porto Rico was sur
prised to see a native who was clearing
a tract Of brush apply fine, powdered salt
to his feet and legs. The scratches could
not be avoided, but pinch of salt could
be depended on to keep them from Tester
ing, the man said. Contrary to common
opinion salt does not aggravate the pain
fulness of open wounds The value Of
salt as an antiseptic is demonstrated by
its general use as a preservative.

It is curious fact that many ailments
which are scarcely noticed by day seem
to increase with the darkness. An ear
ache, which during the, day was not bad
enough to interfere with ones enjoyment
or usefulness, will develop during the
night into a positive affliction that there
is no ignoring. Nervousness, which may
be only a vague unrest during the hours
of light, becomes intense the moment one
lies down in bed, enveloped by darkness
and stiffness. The moment the gas is
turned out, one begins to toss and turn.
Many a victim Of insomnia can fall asleep
If he will get up and light the gas. When
ever such is the case there seems to be
no god reason for persisting in lying in
the dark. # light soothes or mitigates,
have light by all means. It is much bet
ter to have a lamp burning in the room,
even If it Is not hygienic, than to worry
thru the night in pain or sleeplessness.
Children often refuoe to sleep in the
dark. A Viennese doctor, who has

The average annual emigration dur
ing the few years preceding the coup
d. etat of 1899 was about 3,400. The
coup d etat of the latter year raised
the number at once to 1875, and the
figures for 1902 are 22,265. This is
almost one per cent of the total popu-
lation. The natural increase by births
being 1H per cent, it will be seen that
two-thirds of the natural increase is
carried away by emigration.

COLOMBIA WANTS MUCH.
United States Cannot Accept COun
ter Proposals on Canal.

Washington. Sept. 15.-The state de-
partment has received confirmation OF
the reported impossible and absurd con-
ditions on which Colombia is willing
to ratify the Panama canal frosty.
Briefly summarized, the Colombia
government wants $10,OO0,OOO from
the Panama company, $2O,OOO,OO
from the United States, to retain ex-
elusive control and sovereignty in the
important terminal cities of Colon and
Panama, and to have the sole power OF
policing the canal zone.
This means that the United States,
with greatly curtailsd privileges, is to
be bottled up between the cities of Pan.
anna and Colon, to have some jurisdic-
tion in the middle, and Colombia to he
the sovereign at either end.
None of these conditions is admis
sibe under the treaty which Secretary
Hay and Mr.. Heron negotiated, and
any one of them, lif presented to the
United States senate, would warrant it's
immediate rejection.
The official report of the character
of the new Colombian schemes presents
another reason why there should be no
delay in the United States taking up
forthwith the protocols with the Mica
ragua and Costa Rican governments.
