TOO MUCH LUXURY
HARMFUL FOR GIRLS.

~ OLLEGE girls expenses have
doubled in recent years. More
and more it seems impossible for
the gifted poor girl, the one who would
profit more than almost any other from
a college education, to obtain it.
II the items of increased expense are
examined they are found to be in the
line Of increased luxury of living. It
is said costly paraphernalia and varied
is now necessary to the really refined
all round education of q. young lady.
Well, perhaps. But, apropos Of lux
ury for college students, there has late
" been published an account of the life
led by college students among that
marvellous people, the japanese. Baron
Suyomatsu tells the story OF his own
college days. He and his sch0olmates
ate only two meals day, the food
served being Of the simplest kind.
Sometimes it was only rice and a little
salt. What is more, the students took
turns in doing their own cooking. They
swept and scrubbed their own rooms
and those OF their teachers. In the
depth of winter they frequently used
cold water to wash in because this was
thought to harden them. The baron
writes:
I'VE sometimes sat up whole nights
in winter with scarcely any fire to
warm US, in order to accustom our
selves to rigid discipline. It is no doubt
due to the training OF those days that I,
personally, for instance, cannot bear
the trouble Of appearing like a grandee
or fashionable person. Thus, for ex-
ample, I, who never used gloves in my
| bOyhood, cannot endure the discomfort
of wearing them, even on winter days. .
Scarcely less rigorous is the physical

mothers of Japan's heroes. It is not
uncommon for Jap girls even to learn
jiu jitsu. An incident occurred a short
time ago in New York city which
proves this. It is an incident that
might open the eyes of the mothers and
teachers of girls throughout this ma
ton.

into halves and each half sent out

times in the earth life the two halves

She has a rare. sweet face, with a

her first sermon at the Leicester church
she said:

THE EFFECT OF COLD BATHING.

THE EFFECT OF COLD BATHING.
The first contact of cold water with
the body causes a sharp contraction
of the blood vessels of the skin, as
shown by the pallor of the surface, but
as soon as one leaves the bath the ar
teries dilate, the skin becomes pink
and a warm glow is felt that amply
compensates one for the disagreeable
shock of the first plunge. This flush
ing of the surface, which brings with
it warmth and a sensation of vigor and
well being, is the test which shows that
the bath is doing good. If this reac-
ton does not occur and one feels cold
and depressed and the skin remains of
a blush hue It is a sign that the bath
is harmful and then one must be con-
tent with a cool sponging, followed by
brisk rub with a coarse towel. The
devotee of cold bathing seldom suffers
from cold in the head, provided, Of
course, he does not violate the ordinary
laws of hygiene regarding eating.

the morning cold bath, and this in the
case of one who habitually has cold
feet may be proftably supplemented by
a cold footbath at bedtime. followed
then, as always, by a brisk rubbing
with a coarse towel.
