Every 24 hours the human body loses an amount of heat by radiation from the surface during perspiration. But, oon _ trary to what might seem probable at first thought, this loss is oftener advan? tageous than otherwise. In this way an escape pipe, so to speak, is provided for the human mech? anism, and just as the escape pipe of a steam engine is self regulating, so for? tunately the radiation of the heat from the surface of the body is under the con? trol of the nervous system. When the fact is made apparent to the nerve centers that the temperature of the body is getting too high, notice ls immediately sent along the nerves to open wider the blood vessels at the sur? face of the body, with the result that the blood flows nearer the surface, the sweat glands are stimulated to increased action, more water is excreted by them, and with the water goes off the heat Since it is by this means largely that the superfluous heat of the body in health as well as in disease is got rid of, it is clearly very important, especially at this time of the year, that the pores of the skin should never be allowed to become clogged. With.the increased amount of dustin the atmosphere and its natural propen? sity for adhering to the perspiring body the daily bath becomes more of a neces? sity during the summer months than at any other time of the year. One should take great care, however, that the bod? ily temperature xs reduced as nearly as possible to normal before the bath is taken. If the temperature be somewhat high and the body perspiring freely, the danger of taking cold will be increased bj reason of the sudden congestion of the blood in the dilated vessels at the surface of the body. Much of the advantage to be derived from sea bathing will be lost unless the crusts of salt that form in the pores of the skin on the evaporation of the water are removed by subsequent brisk towel? ing or fresh water sponging. Kot only is the perspiration an effi? cient means of removing superfluous heat, but by this same channel go out many of the waste products of the body. These waste ?rb?incts -are always rela? tively increased/in the^sornmer months, and so it is doubly important that dur? ing Axis trying Reason; we should keep the skin in a healthy and cleanly condi? tion.-Youth's Companion. PRINTING SPEECHES. Members of the Present Congress llave Broken the Record In This Respect. There is one industry which is not in the least affected by the hard times. This is The Record division of the gov? ernment printing office, which has charge of printing congressional speech? es for distribution. There has never been a congress when the presses were worked so incessantly for this purpose. Already over 5,000,000 speeches have I been sent out over, the country under congressional franks, and the number is piling up daily until by the close of the session it is expected that it will far ex? ceed any record which has hitherto been made. Tom Johnson alone gave an or? der for 1,000,000 copiesof his speech on the income tax in the tariff bill. He Jeads the record. But in the number of speeches ordered by other congressmen Burrows heads the list. Over 200,000 copies of his tar? iff speech have been issued, and he has taken very few himself- Most of them Jiave been sent to western farming con? stituencies by Republican representa? tives, feed's speech at the close, of the ; tariff debate is not printed by thc gov? ernment printing office, but by one of tue private concerns in Washington, and ibis has just about equaled that of Bur? rows. There isa great demand for Wil? son's speech on th 2 Democratic side, and tens of thousands of copies of the speech ofCrisp have also been sent out. In the. senate 20,000 copies of Senator Lodge's speech have gone out, many senators franking them to the college students in their states. Senator Morrill's speech is also in great demand, and the first speech delivered by Senator Hoar has gained a wide circulation. The efforts of Voorhees and Mills, which opened and closed respectively the general debate in the senate, have-been circulated almost j as widely by Republicans as by Demo oats. -Boston Advertiser. "Bissett* Postomces. There is now a "Bissell" postoflice in nearly every state in the Union. When Mr. Bissell was appointed postmaster general, not a single postoflice in the j country was honored by the name of ] "BisselL" Mr. Bissell has since cor rected this singular omission on the part ! of former postmaster generals, and when j The Postal Guide was printed last De? cember had already added an even dozen "Bissells' ' to the postoflice nomenclature of the country. He has been steadily ! progressing ever since, and there are 1 now probably between 20 and 25 post- j ornees so designated. In some cases the naming of a postoffice after the postmas? ter general is pure sycophantry. Often? er, however, the name is suggested by the department in: eases where there is any difficulty over the selection of a proper title for an office. In The Postal Guide printed last December there are 29 "Clevelands" and 19 "Grovers." The "Bissell" offices will eventually outnumber all others.-Indianapolis Journal. _ A Warm Weather Drink. Here is a recipe for soda water pow- I deers, which are considered excellent for allaying thirst in warm weather. Have put in blue paper SO grains of carbonate of soda, in white"paper 25 grains of tar? taric acid. Dissolve the soda powder in half a glass of water and stir into it the acid and drink while effervescing. If you desire sirup, make it out of sugar boiled in water and flavor as you like. Dissolve the soda in the sirup.--Wash- 1 ington Star. Italy*? Unprofitable Railways. The Corriere della Sea has just pub? lished an ar?o?e on the Kalian ra& ways which says that; "out of the o2 lines worked hythe Mediterranean com? pany, there are 22 which are worked at \ loss and some whose expenses amount to more than twice as much as their re? ceipts. Many of these lines-the princi? pal ones indeed-are now 15 or 20 years old, and yet are always in this disas? trous condition. The investment of cap ital here is disastrous, because instead of gaining interest the investor has to make continual grave sacrifices of money without even any indirect benefit to the regions were the lines pass.. And what j is said of the Mediterranean company may be said of all the companies of Italy." To this dark picture I will only add that the railway debt of Italy is nearly 5 milliards, and that the annual railway deficit is not less than 200,000,000 lire, or more than the actual cost of the army, which, when the expenses of pub lie security are deducted, is only about ?90,000,000.
