The Salt Sponge.

There are few things more invig-
sponge, either before going to bed
or first thing in the morning. II one
is inclined to sleeplessness the latter
time is the best, as the salt is decid-
edly stimulating.
Sea salt can be bought in boxes
and should be kept in a bathroom
closet, or some place where it is
quickly found.
AS brine is not made rapidly, it is
wiser, if the bath is to be taken in the
morning. to soak large, double
handful OF the salt in two quarts OF
boiling water over night. Keep in
covered pitcher.
When ready to use add two quarts
Of fresh water, either tepid or cold,
as preferred. If one likes to sponge
IN tub, use more salt, keeping about
The same proportions.
This brine can be used on the face
as well as body, and it does small
nurt if it gets in the eyes. The sting
IS temporary, and the good effects
Sre felt in rested eyes, as we'll as
nerves.
Such sponge is strengthening to
women who are unable to take cold
plunges and find q daily bath in hot
water enervating.
II you have no sea salt, ice cream
salt, or even that for table use, will
answer, but it costs more and is less
beneficial.
When very tired one can add to the
salt water three or four tablespoon
fuls of alcohol. This combination is
especially invigorating.-M. B.. in

The Consecrated Life

Paul of Tarsus gloried in the fact
that ne did not live, preach and write
for himself, but served another, for
whom he delighted TO consecrate all
his. powers. Paul lived his life in the
spirit and with the system of high
and noble ministry. He phrased life
in the terms OF the experiences of the
other man; he projected himself out
in sacrifice upon the need OF the so.
ciety OF his own time. In so doing
Paw distributed his love and sym
pathy and service among men of all
races and conditions of life, and such
should be the ideal for all Christians

against this. We should have been no
less astonished had we read of one,
