SEA BATHING.
The Effects of Salt Air and Water on
the Human Body.

!. There is q reason why parents have
In all times and in all ages endeavored
to give their children the benefit Of sea
air and sea bathing, An Italian physi-
rian, Gerosa, tells about 1t:
1t is agreed, he says, that all living
organisms began their first existence IN
salt water and that as result the hi
man body land indeed every animal
BODY is largely made up of salt. If
you taste your blood or your tears.
which are the extract Of blood. you
will find that both are quite salt in
flavor. More than this, however, every
living being possesses within his body,
In the cellular stage, all those strange
marine organisms which we study SO
curiously In museums. And, seeing
says Gerosa, that the amount of sea
water contained in every body is equal
to one-third of that body's weight, 1t is
clear that in the enthusiastically rudi-
mentary form all known marine life
must be present in the blood. The re-
suit is that when we battle in the sea
or breathe the sea air we replace the
amount of essential salt which Is con-
stantly decreasing in the system and.
all unconsciously TO ourselves, weak
ening it. Salt water, says Gerosa, is
really the main principle of life, since
it is the first condition Of existence
which the living organisms knew. 1t
is therefore always good for the body.
whether it be enjoyed at the seaside or
brought in bottles from the sea. In
particular is it very valuable in the
case Of weakling children, and there is
no bodily stimulant so invigorating to
the very young as sea water.

Mime. de Strives Wit.

Secretary Blaine had said OF Nine
de Strive that she was the brightest
woman he had ever met, and every
body who knew her agreed with this
verdict. Her knowledge of English
was remarkable, even for Russian.
and her salles were famous. For in
stance, the day when Secretary Bay

diplomatic service his daughter, Miss
Kate Bayard, said laughingly to O
young secretary of legation, "Remem-

to which came, quick as fash, the
retort from Nine. de Strives lips,
"Oh, we all know that you are miss

The Simple Secret Of Blowing the Big

Emperor Nicholas wished to illumi-

themselves in vain and almost blew

A great premium was offered to the

Again the human bellows toiled and

though they were even then fast dying
out From the eleventh volume of that
great work, which was published in
1871 and the succeeding years, we
learn, on the authority of the minister
Of Calender, Perthshire, that the boys
of the township assembled in a body
upon the moors on May day and pro-
ceeded to dig a circular trench, leaving
the soil in the center undisturbed, so as
to form a low table of green turf suf-
ficient in size to accommodate the
whole party.
They lighted fire and prepared a
custard of milk and eggs and large
oatmeal cake. which they baked upon q
stone placed in the embers. When they
had eaten the custard, they divided the
there were persons In the assembly
and daubed one of those pieces with
charcoal until it was perfectly black.
They then placed all the pieces of cake
together in a bonnet, and each in turn
drew one blindfolded. the holder of the
bonnet being entitled to the last piece.
The boy who drew the blackened por-
ton was destined to be sacrificed and
was compelled to leap three times
through the flames.
Although the ceremony had degen-
Grated into mere pastime for boys, it
is evident that it must once upon
time have involved the actual sacrifice
of a human being in order to render
the coming summer fruitful.-Gentle-

damage which he does in a year to
crops, cargoes, stores, granaries, poul-

not be calculated exactly, but it must
be enormous. He is ubiquitous. He
swarms in fields, hedges, coverts, farm,

He is clever In getting out of difficult

exist on almost any kind of food and

PSYcHAsTHENIA.
A Physician Says This 10 One of the
Causes of Panics.

Causes of Panics.
The panics that start in Wall street
often begin in the morbid financial
fears of overstrained brains-psychas-
thenia. Psychasthenia makes panics,
writes DR.. Clarence Hughes in the
Alienist and Neurologist.
1--WE once knew a mind overburden-
ed, brain overstrained man suddenly
conclude he was coming to want and
would not be able to pay his taxes
when his income was $4,000 annual
ly. He MIXED his own COW, he har-
messed his own horse and cared for 1t
(sold the others), dismissed all his
servants and his wife's and had in
somnia, but finally recovered complete
ly. Others with less income or more
fall through brain overtax into the
same morbid way of feeling and think
ing.
Zone kind of insanoid is man
who under mental stress of any kind
acts as though he were insane, but has
not the disease of real insanity to ex-
cuse his actions.
HE hovers on the verge, but does
not pass over into real mental aberra-
ton as he appears to be going. He
does and says such odd, unreasonable
and annoying things that his friends
often wish'he would pass into genuine
insanity, so that he might be properly
and lawfully restrained or that he
might happily extinguish himself by
suicide. Sometimes he does commit
suicide or become really insane, and
we then know where to place him."
