ChilIs and Hot Baths.

Hot water bathing is beneficial in
counteracting the effect of a chill.
First, it 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, as
rheumatism, hot baths are of great
service. Warm baths are useless. The
heat should be as great as can be
borne without pain.

THE DEVILFISH.
It's Ability to Change Its Own aud
tI,c Wutcr's Color.

tEC NOtc-'b OOAOrs
81 was lying on rock watching the
movements of some land crabs which
kept retreating from. the water as the
tide rose, when suddenly a crab dashed
frantically from the water, and out
after it galloped = there is no other
word for it-a devilfish nearly two feet
across" writes an observer from Ava
Ion. Cal '"The animal continued the
chase a short distance, lifting its ten
tacles in the air in a sort of overhead
motion; then. finding pursuit hopeless,
it withdrew with a peculiarly unpleas.
ant, writhing, gliding motion charac-
teristic of these animals. Upon reach
ing the water it stationed itself Just at
the edge, so mimicking the color Of the
bottom that when I glanced away and
looked suddenly back I could not at
once distinguish it. This devilfish had
the appearance of cat watching for
mice, and when a crab was seen it
would shoot out a long, attenuated
tentacle and attempt to seize it. BY
carefully insinuating my way to the
waters edge 1 quickly grasped the
specimen and after a short struggle
tore it from the rocks and secured it.
'At various times 1 had from three
to five devilfishes in an inclosure
where could watch them change color
and test their strength In confne-
ment, if the tank bottom was dark,
they assumed various tints, generally
a dark reddish brown, but the largest
one was a tigerlike creature, about
three feet across, with a ground Of
livid white covered with black or dark
gray blotches, giving it truly fiendish
appearance. especially as the eyes
We're conspicuous and appeared to emit
lambent CLEANS. The change Of color
was marvellous in its rapidity. In
special tank in which two of these
prisoners were confined they occupied
the corners, facing outward, with arms
either coiled under or above them. At
any offensive movement on my part,
presenting my hand under water, the
color scheme would change. A blush
appeared to pass over the entire sur
face, and in a large squid l can only
compare it to heat lightning-a rapid
and continued series Of flushing and
paling, from deep brick red to gray.
1T was very evident that the AMI
mails differed much in pugnacity.
Some did not resent my touching them;
others merely threw tentacle in my
direction, while one never touched me,
but directed its siphon at my hand
under water and sent violent current
in that direction, apparently endeaver-
ing to blow my hand away. 1t was
fascinating to observe the range this
water gun had and how by seeming
intuition the devilfish could direct 1t
at my hand as 1 slowly moved 1t about
while attempting to attract the ami
mails attention in an opposite direc-
ton"

DRINK MORE, EAT LESS.
Advice For Those With Rheumatism,
Gout, Eczema and Neuralgia.

Advice For Those With Rheumatism,
Gout, Eczema and Neuralgia.
If people would take less nutrition
and drink more water, there would be
less rheumatism, gout, eczema and
neuralgia in the world. The most fire.
quent cause of these arrangements is
an excess of nutritive materials. The
blood is surcharged with salts that
are not needed in the system.
The doctors are trying to remedy
these diseases by giving something to
eliminate the salts, such as purgatives,
diuretics and solvents of various
kinds. The rational way, however, to
cure such affections is to stop the
cause. Drink more water; eat less
meat and concentrated foods This
shuts off the supply of urates in the
blood.
Those who take active exercise in
the open air every day require great
er amount of nutrition. Not only do
they use up the nutritive materials in
muscular exercise, but the amount of
oxygen inhaled because of their activ-
tiles thoroughly oXidiZes the urates and
changes them in urea. If the blood is
loaded with urates they are very like
ly to crystalline especially in those
portions of the body where the clrcuIa-
ton is the least and the temperature
is the lowest, such as the elbows, an
kles, the toes and fingers.
Drink more water; eat less food
This is a prescription that is worth
more to such people than all the drugs
in the world. Shut off the source of
urate poisoning and the effects of
urate poisoning will disappear.-Ex-
change.

How to Succeed In Literature.

The qualities which l consider most
conducive to success in literature are
Imagination, coupled with a great
knowledge of the world, concentration,
the willingness and ability to work
hard, a considerable knowledge of
business and a firm determination to
ignore the instructions of literary and
other agents with regard to what the
reading public may be supposed to re-
quire. II any author once loses his in
dependence in writing he may be call
ed finished, so far as any career is in
question.-John Oliver Hobbies.

Boards and Battles.

Shaggy locks and patriarchal boards
have proved highly inconvenient things
on the battlefield. Does not history
record that Alexander ordered the
Macedonians to be shaved lest their
boards should give a handle to their
enemies? Peter the Great was also a
friend Of the BARRIERS, for he not only
ordered all ranks to be shaven, but
caused officers to go about to cut off
the boards Of offenders by force.

unforfunnte Omission.

One of the most singular instances of
punishment for an oversight was that
shown by the commitment of an alma
nae maker to the Bastille in 171T. 1t
was made out by order Of the Duke of
Orleans. regent during the minority of
Louis V. of France, and read as fol-
lows: Laurence d'Henry, for disre-
spect to King George l. in not mention
ing him in his almanac as king of
Great Britain" How long this un-
lucky almanac maker remained in pris-
on is unknown. The register Of the
Bastille, examined at the time of the
revolution, failed to throw any light on
the subject.

A FatefuI Day For Catholics.

One of the most wonderful contrasts
in history was made manifest on the

1S45, Newman made his conversion to
