Su4 BATHING-DANGERS OF EZ'
CEss-SUMMER DRINKs-How To

WgATaza-FIOHTING THE Mos
Sea d river bathin are .now
in order, and it is to be hoped that
people will not indulgeinthooelux
uries withrecklessness. Manycon
stitutionsaare sadly shattered ev
ery Summer by too much bath
ing.
Bathing is a good thing employ
ed in moderation ; but immoder
ately enjoyed it becomes a very
dangerous and damaging thing.
Only the most robust and and
soandfst system can long stand
daily, sea or rier tomerseons
wilthoi}t becoming inmpairpd.. Per
sons agioed by orpnae, disabili
ties. bhl4 batbe in gke- ae or

remain in the water longer than
ten or fifteen - minutes. Any in
dulgence in bathing '"extend1ing,to
half an hour or an hour (which is
more frequently the rule than the
exception) is -highly injurious, al
though the injury may not be im
mediately apparent.
SUMMER DRINKS.
"What are the best and most
healthful Summer drinks.?"
The immediate object of drink
ing is to satisfy thirst. There is
but one thing capable of doing
this, and that is water. The prin
cipal ingredient of all the different
r nds of drinks used is water, and
he purer the water, and the less
quantity of other substances mix
with it, the more perfectly does
thply the wants of the: system.
his beig the case, ,pare water is
ebs aidk most- healthful of
'aks, not only for Summer, bat
ah MsOU a Tfhe year. The
e iailfa if ai
rd rapidly and in -large quanti Tsr,
it may produce undue distension
and pressure of the- stomach, and
interfere with its functions and
these of the surrounding organs.
Ifdhe water thus awallowed be
very cold,-and the system at the
same time be suffering fr'm heat
and fatigue, very serious results
are apt to occur from the sudden
shock. Water should always be
frank slowly. By sipping, the
desire for drink is morefectually
gratiled, and~ any desirable quan
tity at any temperature may bel
drank without injurious effects.
Ice water in Summer is not objec
ionable if taken in this way.
Water should not be drank at or
soon~ after .meais,~as it interferes
with the process of digestion.
KEEP COOL.,
"It is easy to say so," says one,
"but how are you going to do it,
this hot weather ?" I will tell
you. The clothing should be light
and loose, and of suen a character
that the air can readily pass
through it. 'It s.hould be changed
often. Clothing wornthog
the day. should not be worn at
night. The entire body should be,
bated -every day so as to keep the
porespe and the skin clean.
esirtion should not be checked,
but encouraged, if one does not
perspire easily.. .Perspiration ne
essitates evaporation, and evapor
ation cools.
DIET, ETC.
Eat sparingly, and avoid every
thing of a heating, stimulating, or
irritating character, as salts, spices,
condiments, sweets, fats, tea, cof
fee, tobacce, alchobolic drinks, &c.
The diet should consist principally
or entirely of fruits, herries and
vegetables. The only proper drink
is water. Especially avoid eat
nin more than the system re
quires, as excess' in 'amount of
food is one of the principal,ecauses
o that lazy, listlesa, uncomforta
ble feeling experienced by so
many during hot weather: -Keep
a clean conscience as well as a
clean skin and clean clothing, and
don't get excited. If uncomforta
bly warm at any time, immerse
the hands and feet in cold water,
or let a stream of cold water run
upon the wrists or ankles for a
short time, or hold a piece of ice
in the hands. This will soon cool
the whole body.

claimed the conductor. "Come

The couple went trembling
through the car to the "state

much like a state-room on a North
ern sleeping-car as a cell, in the
o:: nty jail appears like the Par
ker House Parlor.
"Does that door shut up ?"
anxiously inquired the bride
groom.
"Oh,yes. See how it slides,"
said the conductor.
"But I'm durned if I see any
place to sleep," suggested the ap
picat for the chamber.
Oh, we'll x that, if you will be

possite side of the car, close to the
head of our curtained couch.
"I don't like it ; so there--,"
whispred the bride.
"Don't like what ?" said her
partner.
"I won't go no further, I won't
if you keep talking so."
"What have I done, I'd like to
know ?"
"You told'him you didn't see no
place to sleep, and I don't think it
was usin' me right."
"Well, I don't see no place now,
neither. If we've got to be tucked
away in that little hole, we'll haft

"Let's go back, .Tonny ; I'm

"Oh, no, don't let'sgo back. Let's

-heart would break.
"Well don't ci-y, Mollie, we'll git
right eout at the next place. But
you had'nt orter be so 'fraid o'

This seemed to quiet her grief,
and at the next station the afflict-.

heard him, as he stood on the

WHO AaE DaUNKAaD?--YoungI
friends, did you ever think whc
drunkards are ? The NewHamfp
shire Temperance Committee, ii
an addrees to the ministers of thal
State, say, "Drunkards' are gene
rally drinking young'men grow!
up." If, then, there were ac
drinking young men, there would~
be few drunkardS. But where d
the drinking young men oome
from ? Why, of course, they ome3
from the children. If all the ohil
dren, then, were pledged againsi
the use of everything -that can in.
toxicate, there would be no drink
ing young men, and consequently
but few if any drunkards. "If not
ruined young men, they probably
never would be. So they-must be
saved young, or not at ali.'
Think of that, young friends, and
take your tand on the side of
of temperance now. Bemember
that "Drunkards are commonly
drinking young men grown up.'
And these drinking young men
are commonly unpledged childrei
grown. into young men. . That ii
we trust all those who, when chil'
dren, pledged themselves to total
abstinence and have remained
faithful to their promise--good
soldiers.-Friend of Temperance.
