AN ANNOYING SUMMER ILL.
Commonly Known as ''Hives"-Prin--
cipaI Causes and Some Simple
Remedies.

During warm weather the conditions
are favorable for the appearance of .
very common yet much annoying minor
ailment. Hives is the popular name for
a form of cutaneous eruption to which
some people are very susceptible, and
which is more elegantly known as nettle
rash or urticaria, says Youths COmpan-
ion.
The latter terms are derived from the
fact that contact with nettles is one of
the surest means of acquiring the dis
ease. The leaves of this plant are COW
cred with a velvety down, which, when
handled, sets free minute quantities Of
an Irritating juice capable of causing
swelling of the skin with intense itch
ing and burning. Other plants. such as
the squir and the pods of the cowhage.
have the same property; and contact
with jellyflsh, certain caterpillars, par
ticuIarly the hairy ones, certain drugs.
and in some cases even sea-bathing will
produce similar results.
It is curious that in many persons ar
ticles of food or disorders of digestion
give rise to similar symptoms. Indi-
vidual peculiarities play an unusually
large part in this respect, and things
harmless to some Invariably give rise
| to trouble in others. Among the COM
monest of these are strawberries, rasp-
berries and other fruits; crabs, oysters
and shell fish in general; fish, timed
foods, pork, sausage, mushrooms, nuts,
| cucumbers; also many drugs, such as
Quinine, sodium, salicylate, choral and
| so on, as well as diphtheria antitoxin.
! In these cases, either Immediately or
| shortly after taking the article in ques-
| ton, more or less raised, red or pale
patches, varying in size. appear on the
| skin of a part or the whole Of the body.
and give rise to great discomfort
| through the burning and itching they
cause. These may be the only symp-
toms and the trouble may disappear
| in a few hours; Or in rare cases there
may be evidences of severe constitu-
tional disturbances, as shown by high
| fever, headache, backache, coated tom
que. loss of appetite, great thirst, nau-
sea and vomiting.
The treatment for the mild cases
| consists in light diet and laXatives, to-
! gether with the attempt to discover the
cause of the trouble For the itching
| alkaline baths, cooling and astringeni
lotions and busting powders will give
relief The temptation to scratch the
affected region should be resisted a:
much as possible, as it only aggravates
| the condition. In severe cases medical
advice is of course necessary.

TO FIGHT FOOT-BINDING.
The Natural Feet Society Recently Or.
ganized by English Women
in China

The Natural Feet society, organized
not long ago in China by Mrs. Archibald
Little, is struggling bravely against ma
tive prejudices.
The English Woman's Review states
that there is an increasing opposition to
foot-binding among the official leaders
of China, and. though the imperial edict
two years ago had little effect, some of
the viceroys accepted it with interest.
one of whom, Asen Chun-huSen, not
only gave the society his approval. but
also wrote pamphlet on the subject and
had 5000 copies circulated in his own
province. Another viceroy had his own
little daughters feet unbound, and then
wrote a pamphlet condemning the prac-
tice and caused it to be circulated.
The missionaries give constant aid
and encouragement to the movement,
and at meeting in the chapel of the
American Methodists 90 young girls at
tended whose feet.were in a natural con.
dition.

HOW TO TAKE AN AIR BATH
The Skin Should Be Given a Chance
to Breathe and Become Re-
animated.

It must be remembered that we rare
ly, if ever, give our skin the opportu-
nifty to breathe properly, says the New
York Mail. Our perverted condition ana
very often restricted clothing has given
us a skin that is constantly moist
clammy and cold to the touch Or else
it is dry and dead and can be rubbed OF
by the hand with little effort. Restrict
ed clothing not only damages the lungs
and internal vital organs of the body
but causes the circulation to the skin
to become stagnant and poor. A great
many ills that we do not understand are
causedby the unhygienic practice OF
smothering the skin.
Give your body an air BATH Reani-
mate your skim This is splendid
time to begin the habit of doing so, since
a cold" need not be feared at this time
of the year, and you will strengthen the
skin against the more severe season. Ex-
posures and draughts against the body
is a superstition more or less. The
writer has often stood before cold
draught taking an air bath in winter, and
the practice has yielded a days tonic
to the body that cannot be explained
but must be tried upon ones own per-
son to be understood and appreciated.
Open your windows wide and exercise
until the pores have become awakened
Then let the cool. fresh morning all
play upon your body, lying down, if you
desire 1t will be a treat that you viii
never want to miss again II acts as E
delightful tonic to the nerves. There
is no better medicine for weak, nervou:
people than the air bath. The very
blood tingles with the unaccustomec
freedom of the body and its contact with
the euergiZed air

SEAL MONKEYS SUPERIOR.
AmrhiDian and Receives Eard
Beating.

A seals intelligence is not the most
striking characteristic of that amphi-
bian, but this story from the San Franci-
possess unexpected pugilistic POSSIBLE
ties. Jocko, the king-pin performer in
Herr Geisler's troupe of performing
monkeys, made the acquaintance of Prof.
Rumley's big performing seal few days
ago in a manner that LETT the clever lit
tie monkey sadder, but considerably
wiser. At feeding time Herr Geisler
inadvertently LETT open the door of the
monkey cage and the monkeys stood not
on the order of their going, but in flash
were swarming over every available
space in the huge menagerie.
1t was only after an hours hard work
that the keepers managed to get their
charges together, with the exception of
little Jocko, who would hang by his tail
and grin just out of the keepers reach.
At least they succeeded in cOrnering
him, and in desperation he 1eaped to
the cage over the seals, at the top OF
which was the opening through which
the seals were fed. Finding his pursuers
close upon him, he jumped into the cage
and down upon the seals platform. The
big performing seal resented the intru-
sion and proceeded to catch the monkey,
now thoroughly frightened, between his
huge f1ippers, alternately shaping and
biting him. The teeth of the thoroughly
subdued monkey did not stop chatterins
for half an hour after Prof. Rumley had
rescued him from his plight
