The vnIue Of snIt BATHS,

~
for the woman worn by sleepless
nights nothing could be more strongly
recommended than sea bathing. and
plenty of it, for only the one suffering
from insomnia knows the careworn
lines 1t leaves on the face and the
brightness it steals from the eyes.
One of the best features of a sea bath
Is the salt water inadvertently swal-
lowed by bathers. 1t is a wonderful
tonic. In many cases 1t is said to cure
when all drug preparations
nave tailed. 1t is peculiarly effective In
ordinary cases of indigestion, disordered
stomach, and insomnia, and has been
known to produce excellent results in
many cases of dyspepsia. Clean sea
water, such as is to be had at n of
u numerous fashionable seaside re-
sorts, is full of tonic and sedative prop
critics. 1t will not hurt anybody. In
deed, two or three big swallows of it
Would be of positive benefit to nine
oathers out Of ten. 1t is not, of course,
a paiatable or tempting dose to take,
but neither is quinine or calomel. You
seldom, If ever, see an old sailor who is
bilious or dyspeptic, or a victim to in

OUR CORNER
LIFE in CHINA.

r T you boys and girls had been born
on the other side of the world. IN
China, you would have done lots of
things exactly opposite to the way you
now do them. For instance:
You would go to bed when you are
getting up, and vice versa. Your lin
ner would. begin with dessert, and
would end with soup. The men fly
kites, while the small boy looks on.
When a Chinese boy wishes to be re
spectful or polite he leaves his hat on,
instead of taking it off, as mother tries
to have you do. Your family name
would be Smith John, instead of John
Smith, as you are in America.
Chinese sailors say the wind is west
north or eastnorth, instead of northeast
and southeast, as ours do. Soldiers, in
China, wear quilted silk petticoats,
satin boots. bead necklaces and carry
fans and umbrellas. What do you think
Of that, boys?
When a horse is to be mounted for a
canter. a Chinese boy mounts from the
light side. instead of the left, Is we do.
If you went calling with your father in
China, instead of the little pasteboard
that he has engraved with his name, he
would take a visiting caro- four feet
long and painted red.
School children sit with their back to
the teacher, and study aloud. Men
wear Ions hair, women short. When
any one dies in China all the family

not black. The Chinese think

this mixture to dry overnight all the
pores of the wood may be filled with

to dry overnight. Another coat is put

it will not be necessary to repeat the
