It ?H in fact more necessary to keep the ?kin In fine order over the entire per non in winter than it ia in summer, be cause inclination dove not prompt any but trained skins to demand lt at this or a later season of the year. In Hummer the bath tub noeds no argument, nor should the sixmge bath at any season for tho |tt*rson who respects his own flesh. Tho skin is tho second or supplo mcntary lungs. It discusses tho lieut choice of water for ablutions, thc whole subjects of baths and soaps, and recom mends timid bather? how to get on without tho shock of a plunge bath. Except to such radiant beings wdio thrive on reaction, any shock by cold wu?er is bud. It is infamous to drop lit tle children, screaming, shivering little wretches, into cold water "to harden them." Their nerves are never har dened-only jangled by such perform ances. Even grown people should use tepid water in preference to cold, if comfortable results do not follow the cold sponging. Water is a much bettor conductor of heat (from tho body/ than air ia. When thc air stands at 77 degrees wo call it a wann day, but a bath at 77 degrees by the same thermometer is a cold bath for most persons. Hy beginning with a wet towel bath of water that causes only a pleasant consciousness in the skin (say ut i)0dogr?es Fahrenheit) tho circulation may lie so promoted by tho vigorous rubbing and the skin so improvod in tone that each day the temperature of tho water may bo lowered, until tho healthy skin becomes the true safeguard against cold and catarrah. A double handful of common salt thrown into tho bathing water "after tho cleaning process baa beon performed is a beneficial addition. The saline partidos arc very penetrating, and no amount of rubbing will remove them from the skin, upon which they exert a most use ful, though a very gentle, stimulating influence, especially salutary ia cases of sluggish liver. Nut only does this act locally on tho skin, increasing its secre tions, but also quickens tho processes of nutrition in all the tissues of tho body. A man worn with excessive muscular labor should take a warm bath, tho calming effects from which resemble sleep. Dr. Morriss div ides invalids (and well people) into two classes, those wdio have a reserve strength, who thrive on cold baths, ami those wdiose feeble func tions should bo assisted by wann lialbn. Feeble functions are not feeble muscles; the latter in an indolent person derive strength from the cold bath, which en courages to exorcise afterwards and Ibis makes muscle grow. Thumblesa mittens of ordinary Turk ish toweling are as good as the more j costly sponges for tho luxury of the daily "rub bath." A large Turkish towel wrung out of either tepid or cold water, will expedite tho bathing proce?s, and by all meuns provide a goodly sized towel for the dry rub afterward. Turk ish towels that come tho B??*M of crib sheets are most useful for this, and th? luxury of having two linen balk sheet? in daily use is known to tho initiated few. After cither a cold or a warm plunge hath the immediate covering of the whole body in a largs wrap of linen or thc soft tufted colton gives a sensa tion of luxury that MOIOO people nsvat know.-Cleveland Leader, Muntern of Courritlod Trcaiur**. One of the curious schemes that lin 1 a : lodgment in this city is thai of a stock I company designed to make a specialty ot j bunting up concealed treasures. Capt, ?

Wc h urn as much as pos sible about the characteristics of people who uro supposed to have concealed treasure, and then work accordingly. I was once cnlled by Ibu friends of an in sane man to look after his money. He had hidden it while sup(H>sed to bo in bis right mind, and after ho beeame in sane he could not be induced to tr.lk on thc subject or give any clew. ()>*. day I suddenly pulled out of my p icket a big roll of bills, and quietly remarked: 'We stumbled on your bidden pdo the other day.' He gave a quick glance to tho corner of the room and shouted, 'You lie !' and then laughed gleefully. I bad that corner searched that night an l found the money. 1 knew that bo would not be satisfied to stay in any place where he could not be in sight of his treasure. "Another case, where we made $?{,000, was that of a wealthy man stricken with . paralysis. He was about to deposit Ifi??.OOO when striken down, and the ' money wa? gone. He could not recull a thing. All that was known was that he < was found sitting on tb? front hall i stairs bereft of mind and speech. We ; hurried everywhere und I made up my j mind that he had been robbed. Wo ex amined his person, and found a black and clue mark on his hip and another [ on his forehead. A sliver of blue painted wood was on his clothing. We then started out to find where the sliver cniuo from and where he got his marks, i We found in tho barn cellar a dump cart that gave us our clew, and in tita manure where he had fallen we found the money." - New York "Wayside Notes."
