Bathing and Why We Should Bathe.

Among all the appliances for health and comfort to mankind, we think wo may safely say that there is nothing so well known, so useful, and withal so comforting, and yet so little practiced, so carelessly and thoughtlessly neglected, as judicious bathing. The skin of the human body, from head to foot, is a network of pores. One cannot put a finger on a single place without covering several hundred little openings, which ought always to be kept free and clear of obstructions. As evidence of the trflth of this statement, we need only call to mind the great drops of sweat so often seen gathering on one’s face and other parts of the body in warm weather—especially during time of over-exertion. Those pores are the opening into minute tubes or channels which lead through unseen meanderings into the sanctum of life within. The dust which comes into contact with animals covered with hair is mostly kept out, and the perspiration conducted away from the pores of the skin by those hairs; hence bathing is not so essential with them as with mankind, whose bodies are practically denuded of such protection. The glutinous mass of perspiration, dust ana filth which gathers on the surface of the body, naturally covers and clogs the pores, and often enters them and poisons the system. To. remove that filth, frequent ablutions and occasional immersions in water are exceedingly desirable, and usually indispensable to health and comfort, consequently every family should have a convenient bath —arid a full bath, too —of some kind, not only for general neatness of person, so desirable to every individual of taste and culture, but as a means of preserving health, and in many cases, especially under the advice of a good physician, as the safest, pleasantest and one of the most powerful and efficient means of combating disease. Directed by good judgment and wise counsel, a bath is a valuable air diary to other remedies, and it can be used when internal remedies cannot. In the long catalogue of diseases to which flesh is heir, scarcely one can be named in the treatment of which a bath is useless. To those blessed with good health, a bath, as a common-sense appliance, gives thrift and growth to healthy functions, a brightness and delightful serenity, a clearness of mind and buoyancy of spirit. It is certainly a blessing to both mind and body. For the mental worker it is a nerve tonic. A thorough immersion in water of proper temperature will calm and give strength and tone to his whole system. The in-door laborer who gets but a scanty supply ol fresh air, needs a bath to obtain those invigorating elements so common in the open air. The out-door laborer—especially the farmer—who works with heroic energy all day long, unavoidably gathers on the entire surface of his body a complete prison wall of dust and thickening, gummy perspiration; and when his day’s work is done, he needs then more than any other things, not only a wash, but a good, luscious, full bath to fit him for a clean bed and a refreshing sleep. _ Finally, every one needs a bath at times and every human habitation should contain something for a complete immersion in water, and since convenient and efficient portable baths at comparatively low figures are now extensively advertised for sale, there is little excuse for any one to be without this priceless benefit.— Western Rural.

Some one wrote to the Manchester (Eng.) Examiner asking if Earl de Grey was the son and heir of the Marquis of Ripon. In its “Answers to Correspondents” the paper replied that he was—adding by way of explanation that it was only a courtesy title, the young gentleman being “in point of law plain Mr. Robinson.” The Marquis did not like this, and tlje next day dispatched the following missive to the offending journal: “Lord Ripon does not wish the Manchester Examiner sent any more.”

Too Clever by Half.

"I Merchant (to clerk)—“Here, I have just written out the following letter: ‘Dear Sir: As respects the amount for which I am indebted to jou, I beg to state that I intend to pay in full very shortly, as you are my principal creditor, and the rest of my liabilities are scarcely worth mentioning, 1 etc., etc. I want you to make thirty copies of this letter, and send them to the addresses giyen in this list.” Merchant (next day) —“Well, did you attend to that little matter?” Clerk —“O, yes: but to save trouble I had the letters lithographed before sending them off.” — llumorulijsite JUaetter,

LABOR TROUBLES.

A Simple Way of Settling Labor Trouble* —The First Strike. The Boston correspondent of the Hartford Evening Post makes the following points on strikes: There is a very simple way of settling this trouble and worry about wages existing between employer and employed, but there is such an obstinate quality in the mind of man that one must hammer for a long time before attention will be paid, like an advertisement for a day, that, however valuable its announcement, fails for want of repetition. I have had the honor of making quite a number of valuable suggestions that might have proved useful, if adopVA, but though I imparl ■ their merit.to some pretty good talk*- ■. 'v ver heard of one of my schoniee i • favored. Although discouraged, i -:•<■>. 1 my scheme, which may prove su. • ! under, tie circumstances. This.. '•> educate all directors and stockholders in manufacturing companies in the use of looms and mules and other machinery in our factories, until, upon occasion of a strike, they may be able to take hold' and do the work themselves, and thus atl • ' the soundness of the claim for more pay. This is just as easy as rolling off a log, and must result on.: way or other. I saw a strike, many years ago, among the printers on the Post, when Colonel Greene was editor. It was for three cents more per thousand eras. He refused to pay it, let them strike, summoned the iieads of his departments (all printers), took off his coat and all pitched in with a will to get out the paper. The colonel had achieved his first stickful, when, in attempting to correct an error in 'he types, he squabbled a line. He looked at it a moment and then said, “it ’tis worth it. Go to work.” Th; s 11,,y did, and harmony was restored. Undoubtedly the mode that I propose would result pretty much the same way, or might prompt to the establishment of a new class of operatives, the stockholders aforesaid choosing to spin their own yarn and pocket the pay. The “hands” in this case might>o fa stockholding and thus know how it is themselves. The first strike among our working people, I think, was at Dover, N. H., in 1827 or ’B. The Cocheco works were established in 1820, and the operatives were almost entirely American girls, who deemed that weaving and spinning were better than farming, and became “factory girl>” on the m lion of the works at Dover falls. A small factory up the river was No. 1, and the works at the falls were Nos. 2,0 and i, as I believe they are at the present time. Everything went on spinnmgly and smoothly until th, yimf which I write. There were exactions on the part of the corporation that the independent spirit of the fair spinners and weavers could not brook.

Every operative was out, leaving the overseers to run them alone. They met at some convenient square, and, forming a procession, with a full band, and bearing the American flag, they paraded the town, under a leader whom I well knew, a year later, and a stalwart manly guard of one for their protection. The corporation came down at once, the offensive rules were withdrawn for the time and everything went on harmoniously. But there arose, again, threats of war between James F. Curtis, a new agent, and Mill No. 2. lie was not a fortunate selection for th office, as he had been a sea captain, and endeavored to introduce ship’s discipline among his crew of girls. It would not work, and a general irritation prevailed. The climax was reached when he ordered the windows of No. 2 to be nailed down to prevent intimacy with the yard. This was done over night, and in the morning when they had found out what had been done and one of the loom girls had fainted, their linger knew no bounds. A strike in that mill was the consequence, and every girl left their looms for the park. I saw the excited crowd from an upper window opposite, and such a clatter of tongues has not been heard since Babel. Agent Burtis was sent for and went among them, angry at first, but that bird wouldn’t fight, and he came down to coaxing, begging them to return, arguing the necessity for the nailing down, which excited them the more, until he compromised the matter by allowing the windows to be open part way. Other inducements were given and they returned to their work, but during the altercation with him they had spotted his black coat with cotton locks until he looked like a new description of leopard.

No Chance for the Presidency.

“Mamma,” said a little Fifth Ward boy lugubriously the other day, as he laid clown a volume of biographical sketches of the Presidents, “1 'don’t bei lieve I’ll ever be a President. 1 ain’t I got the chance, I wasn’t brung up i right.” “Why, child, you have the same chance that other little boys have.” “No, I ain’t; I wasn’t born in a log cabin, nor I ain’t drove a team on the canal, nor had to read the spellin’ book by the light of a pine knot, nor had to split rails nor nothin’ like the rest of the boys who got there. I tell you, mother, I’m handicapped on this Presidential business.” From the stress laid on the hardships endured by some of the Presidents when boys, it is not strange that the juvenile mind should draw such a deduction.— Elmira Oa?elte.
