" This is a moiled that I have been trying on myself with great success for three years now," he says, "It be- gins in the bathtub and wide in the bathtub. 'There's nothing elseto it except a towel.

For a person who has a weak heart, or who is not con- stitutionally sound it'd an excellent thing, but fur a robust man • the cold bath is better when taken in the right way. "THE POPGLAR SHOWER BATH is a -fallacy so fax as helping one to keep cool is concerned, for five min ate, after you are dry your skin is in a glow. The thing to do is to fill your bathtub up with cold water, get into it and lie perfectly still for several minutes. To begin with, three or four minutes will be as long as you will want to stay; later you will find yourself remaining for eight or ten minutes. " When you are thoroughly chilled through and your skin Is cool all over it is, time to get out. Now comes the important part.. Most people think they must scrub' themselves furiously dry with a crash towel. That is all wrong. 4t simply sots up action of the pores, and there you aro perspir- ing again. The proper way is to press off the drops that adhere' and do the rest by fanning yourself with the tow- el, Then get into your clothes in a leisurely manner and you will find that for tbree or four hours there- after you, will be cool and comfortable, though all creation around you is malting its collar "Take a bath like .this' just before breakfast, and if you possibly eau, an- other in the middle of tho afternoon, when the temperature is bighe8t, and you will find the miseries of city life La the heated spell so mitigated that you will forget all about them. But it must he remembered that this treatment isn't for invalids, or peo- ple with weak lungs or hearts. I don't want to be responsible for deaths by heart disease or pneumonia.

As far back as 181(1 English explor- ers began their work in southern China, for in that year Amherst made u journey along the banks of the Pekiang, one of the northern tri- butaries of the Sikiang, sometimes called the River of Canton; but B'Ia- oartney had already done valuable work up the same stream in 1793. It was not ,however, until the early part of the second ball of the century— in the '00s—that systematic explora- tion of that part of China was under♦ taken. During that decade the aouthwestern and southern provinces were regularly quartered out by Eng- lish explorers,, oonspiouous among whom were Oxenham, Diokson, Garn- ier, Biokmore, and Cooper. Lagree, a French traveler, in 1867 made a journey into YUNNAN FROM SIAM. But it was in the seventh and the following .decades that the explora- tion of China was developed on a large, seale and became international in character, foreshadowing events that have since begun to materialize. In the '708 the English activity spread from the southern provinces to the valley of the Yang -tee -Kiang. Baber; Gill, McCarthy, Moss and others pene- trated into some of the moat exclus- ive provinces, and made valuable com- mercial and military observations. While the British were thus working in the southern half of the country the Russian Przjvalsky made his first journey into the northern Thi - bat and Kansub. Elias, who was be- lieved to be traveling on behalf of the British Government, made a jour- ney through Mongolia and Shansi in 1872.. The northern provinces were also traversed by Pevtsof, Sezech, Fritsohe, a German, and others dur- ing the same period. riod.. In the '80s the activity became still greater. Prz- jvals9cy, Potanin and other Rus- sians continued their examinations in the northwestern provinces and the provinces of Chi Li, in which Pek- in is situated. The British were equ- ally active in the south. Bourne, Ford, Parker and others were going through the provinces of the Yang - tee -Kiang collecting data of a poli- tical and military nature, while Mr. Archibald Little,• who has done so much to develop the navigation of the Upper Yang -tee -Kiang, was making observations of great commercial SOMI Tt JNO (ULTJ2 Now CEYLON oR111 N TEA Some flavor as Japan, only more delicious, EXPLORATION 0_F CHINA, POLICY OF POWERS PORESRADED )3Y TRAVELLERS.

An almost incredible story comes from France of the resolution and en- ergy et an old Alsatian woman who was determined to see the Exposition. She was found, exhausted by hun- ger and fatigue, on a road in the de partment of the ;Marne. When her strength bad been restored somewnat by medical treatment and food she told the following story; She was born in Alsace on January 2, 1797, and Is therefore 103 years old. Seized with a burning desire to see the Exposition, she had left Alsace two weeks before, intending to walk all the way to Paris, for she had a horror of railroads, and besides, was poor. She had aceomplished more than half the journey amd bad walked more than 150 miles. On her (boulders she carried her luggage, two bundles weigbing fifty-nine pounds, Her money, which she carried in a hand- kerchief, was a trifling burden, as it consisted of one 2 -franc piece. In the financial oondltion it is need- less to add that the courageous old woman had resolved at the outset not to enter an inn er restaurant, during her journey. She subsisted entirely on bread and cheese, slept in barns when she could, or in default of shel- ter passed the night under the trees by the wayside. As soon as she had recovered her senses for she was unconscious when found—she wished to resume her journey, and it was difficult to make her understand that Paris was yet a long way off. At last she understood and seemed resigned to her failure. SHE WAS SAVED.
