Hot water bathing is beneficial in
counteracting the effect OF a chill.
First ii undoes another mischief work
ed by the chill. The latter has sent too
much blood internally, so risking con-
gestion. Heat brings the blood to the
surface Heat is not life, but it is
one Of the factors of life Indeed. dis
solution always occurs when the In
ternal bodily temperature is greatly
lowered Heat will not keep a body
alive and great heat will kill it. In
many morbid states of the system, az
rheumatism, hot baths are of great
service. Warm baths are useless. The
heat should be as great as can 90

a mania for attending auctions and
buying all sorts OF truck which does

The result is that their homes are q

the worst kind of extravaganza. Quail

number OF more than billion and a
half OF human beings it Is asserted that
all but an infnitesimal fraction or
per cent believe In and worship In
some degree a supreme ruler OF tho
universe.
There are seven great religions In the
world. The Christian religion has the
greatest number OF adherents. 563. 000.-
600. or this number S50,o0o.oo0 are
Catholics and 21S,00O. 900 Professionals.
These two great divisions are subdivid-

lowers are 2S3. 900 600 In number. This
belief is confined almost exclusively to
the Chinese and Japanese. In India
there are 223, 900 900 Brahmans. This
form OF religion has decreased some
what during recent years, owing per
haps to the continual ravages OF plague
and famine in that country. But II still
holds the third place among the seven
