ITS VALUE IT'S DANCERS - HOW TO BATHE AND


HOW NOT To-TIMELY HINTS ON THE suBJEoT.


An intelligent New York physician writes to
the Times, of that city, some timely suggestions
as to sea-bathing. He says


First OF all, the bath must be OF very short
duration in order to secure a proper reaction,
which will tend to re-establish the equilibrium
of heat when it is unequally distributed. II this
is obtained the bath will stimulate the entire
organism, and give it new energy, first, by the
pressure exercised on the surface Of the body
by the considerable volume OF the water and it's
specific gravity which is greater in the ocean
than in the river second, by the percussion of
the waves, which impart shock equally, if not
more, powerful than that Of the shoWer-hath ;
third, by the saline properties of the waves,
which, while stimulating the vitality OF the skin,
in some degree penetrates Into the blood by
absorption.


1t is of exteme Importance to determine the
duration of the sea-bath. A prolonged stay ia
cold water diminishes vital power, prevents reao-
ton and occasions headaches, cramps, &C. The
bath should be from four to six minutes, quar-
ter of an hour at the very utmost. The weak
or the bather, and colder the water, the shorter
should the bath be.


The best time for bathing is he ween the hours
Of and Ii A. M; yet those who are diffident or
have but little reaction, do well to bath at noon.
But no one should go in the water within an
hour from the last meal.


1oTbOHb WHO bWltn may BlN6 ID6ulbblNeb up TO
that exercise with advantage. Those who are
not used to il, er are too weak to practice it
should run into the sea to certain distance,
then plunge in head foremost and repeat this
number Of times this is called immersion.
When the sea ID rough, the water high and
heavy, such bather should turn his back to the
surge.


On leaving the water the bather goes to his
bath-house, rubs, and dresses himself and il be
then experiences a feeling of warmth all over,
he may consider the bath beneficial. IT, on the
contrary, he cannot get warm, il the reaction
doe not readily take place. he may know that
he has stayed too long, or that the temperature
of the water was too cold for him, or that sea-
bathing is not adapted to the actual condition
of his health.


Sea-bathing hardens the skin, gives il more
consist siency, foiti6es the muscular and lympha-
tic systems, renders digestion and absorption
more active, and gives new energy to all the
functions it constitutes powerful medication
which excites in the whole economy a sort of
febrile action proper to receive the indicative
element of nature in great number Of chronic
diaeases. But that therapeutic agent must not
be generalized or employed irrationally. 1t has
often produced serious trouble il is specially
suited to lymphatic and nervous diseases, pro-
vided the sufferers have sufficient strength to re-
act against the impression of the cold, and the
disease be not complicated by inhammatory
symptoms for cases Of appoplexy and peripneu-
mionia the result of sea bathing are not at all
rare.

In an article on ''The Germans and the

at present there are three great social

revOlutionists. The first two are essen
TALLY aristOcratic, since the essence o.
modern liberalism is free play for indi-
viduals, or every one for himself; and
inasmuch as there are great differences
between man and man, if every one
shall be at liberty to pursue his own OBJ
jects in his own way, the minority OF
able and energetic men will in time gov
ern and direct the majority, composed
of the incompetent and less energetic.
In other words, "the ideal of liberalism
is an aristOcracy by natural selection. y
Yet liberals and revolutionists are alike
in this-they are dissatisfied with the
present state of the world and unite in
the effort to alter it, though they differ
as to what means should be used 10 fur
ther this end, Finally, the clerical and
revolutionary parties are both socialists
in the proper sense of that term, since
they believe that society is and that self
is not the true centre of human thought,

Now that Governor Hoffman has signed two
bills passed by the Legislature which promise
rapid transit to New York, we wish to see the

projectors mean business let them set about
their undertaking at once. This complex sys-
tenn, which provides for freight tunnel under
ground as the lowest tier, horse car line on
the level of the streets as the second tier, and
q four-track steam engine road, on iron arches,

to run through the blocks and to gain triple
transit to the upper end of the island. 1t is
not exactly what we would prefer in this
direction namely two simple viaduct roads,
one on the east and the other on the west side
of the city; but as, something passed into
law we accept it. as the city would have been
