We all know that, a change from a cold, .damp, to a warm, dry atmosphere, oftea proves most ser- viceable in this disease. The warm, dry air stimulates the skin to greater activity, and this organ then, no doubt, throws off those poisonous products of transformation of tissue and imperfect assimilation, and the reliel from it is very great In many cases a' pealed cureresults from this alone. But it ts not always conveaient to leave one's home in such "cases, and so the sun bath' may be used as a partial substitute for a change of ' climate, daring a, portion of the year at least It may not be generally known that a person may produce a considerable sweat- ing by lying with the skin exposed to the sun for an hour in the month of November. Of course the patient 'should be in a room and the sun let shine ou,the‘body only from the nook down. It qmay- come. through • a 'large open or closed—according to the heat —window exposed to, -,the south. The body must be protected from currents of air. There is a little danger to the inex- perienced in taking a sun bath by sunburn- ing the skin. This is avoided by oiling the body first, and gradually accustoming one's -self to its rays. Care must be taken not to overdo the bath at Arst, or injury will result. The temperature of the body may be raised two or three degrees in an hour, and a delightful feeling of ceinfort had by managing just right. By wrong management great discomfort may be pro- duced. The head, as said before, must be protected from the sun's rays.

The tiattEirperienee of•Dellf fishennen. Telegraphing this (Monday) afternoon, our Ottawa correspondent says: Advice!: received in this pity Oat° that the flehing on most parts of the coasts of Labrador and Anticosti has been above the average, but in eotne places where the oatoh was short, owing to the want of bait, great destitutionprevails, more espeoiallyin some parts of Anticosti. In these places many of the people are ill with low fever, owing to the want of proper nourishment. Some twenty -Ave of the inhabitants, mostly children, have alreadyaied fromtliis cause. At English Bay and Strawberry Cove, on the west end of the island, many of the families are utterly destitute. At Thunder Bay, Labrador, the fishing village of Masa. BOutellier Bros. was destroyed by fire. Storage of Bent. Foreign papers during the past few montbs;bave contained acoounts of apparta tus designed for storing elestrieity, so that it may be transporte4 and made an artiole of commerce. It is suggested that batteries may be charged with electricity generated by, the power of wind or falling water, Safely oceaveyed long distances and em.. ployed for surgical purpeses,produeing light and for running small znacatin'ery. SOMe think that electricity stored in this way may be used for lighting railway cols and for illuminating parks, public buildings and titivate houses on special occasions. It is also suggested that batteries charged. with electricity will befurnishedprivate families lot fanning sewing machines, and that they Will be reoharged as occasion requires at suaall cost. , • M. . Ancelin, of France, also, brings out an ingenious apparatus for • storing heat that is adapted to a great number of ',tac- tical purpasee. It is based on the prinoia, ple that metallic salts, especially those ' that are alkaline, absorb a large amount of 'beat•Whou they are, dissolved or melted, retain it 'labile' they are kept in a fluid state, and evolve it when the salts pass into a solid ham. The substance • he employs for storing and giving out beat is• aoetate of soda.. The chemical heater con- sists of a metallic flask filled with the above-named . salt, and soldered airtight. The flask is made of thin copper or brass. It has a Jeep or handle for suspending it in a vessel Of hot water,, from which the Sup- ply of heat is obtained. If the heater is not tainted one charge of acetate of soda is flufficient far all time. Tile time reqpired for the apparatus to storeall.the heat it is capable of will .depend on its size, and the period it will continuo to discharge heat will- be in pro- portion to • the quantity of the salt employed. A heater sufficiently large to keepthe hands *arm for an hour or more can be -charged by :immersing it in hot water for five minutes, A foot -warmer, however, intended to be put in a sleigh, must be immersed in bailing: water for :about" twenty Minutes. A foot -warmer, that on temoval from the water -bath indi- cated 153 degrees of temperature, at the end of eleven limas registered 111 degrees. The most sudden fall was at the end of .two hours.

A recent nunia ber of the Danziger Zeititny tells of an incident of this kind in the village. of Stangenwalde, where an old lone woman was accused of having bewitched an intro:lid widow, because; as the latter was ariving past the other's hut the horse. suddenly came to a stop. This was assumed to le owing to the old woman's occult influence, and to prove that the widow's 'illness had• been caused by her. The old creature, frightened out of her senses, was dragged to the widow's bedside ancl subjected to various torments to coerce her into expel- ling the devil from her victim. This mode of procedure failing; she was compelled to inflict cuts in three of her fingers, and pertait the widow to suck her blood, after which the invalid immediately began to feel better. It was then proposed to baba the witch, and a rope was fastened around her nook, while the crowd beat her • about the head and face with slippers and shoe- makers' lasts. Sh,e was finally readied, but in a dangerously injured, condition.

An Impoeunlime Outdone Commit* Onichle by Throwing libudeit Before u Locos motive. A despatch from London,Out., dated Saturday, says :* About 5.8that evening an unknown man, who was walking along the Great Western Railway track towards the oity, suddenly threw himself before the engine Of No. 7 express for the west. A relief party was sent out with a laitifdltiar and brellgbfl the body to the Great Western depot, in a horribly mangled condition. Search in the pockets revealed that the deceased's name was Hugo - Sohliefer, a law student admitted at Osgoode Hall on the 10th of February, 1877, An envelope addressed to 3, B. McGurn, pub - lather; 36 King street east, Toronto, and a lettet addressed to O. A,Wade, of Parkhill, were also found upon him. The latter was written upon the office paper of McDougall and Gordon, barristers and wh- etter% asking Mr. Wade to let the writer have the German gehool certificates from his trunk in, artier to enable him to earn motley to pay what he owed Mr.„Wade. It is thought that, footsore'weary and hun- gry, after a long tramp on the track, unable to get work, repulsed on all sides when he applied for work, the poor student yielded to a sudden impulse to put an end to his miseries on earth. Dr. Flock will hold an inquest on Monday. • ' WHAT NICXT ? The Language ,�f rostage &winos- S4upingenious liPersons have given a meaning to the location of a postage stamp on a letter, For example, they say that when a stamp is inverted on the right hand upper corner it means the aerson written to 18 to write na more. If the stamp. be placed on the left hand upper corner and inverted, then the writer deolares' his affection for the receiyer of the letter. When the stamp is in the centre at the top, it signifies an affirmative answer to saluta- tion, or the question, as the case may be; and when it is at the bottom, or opposite this, it- is it negative. .Should the stamp be on the right hand corner, at a right angle, it asks the question if the receiver of the letter loves the sender.; while in the left hand corner means that the writerhates the other. There is a shade of difference between desiring one's acquaintance and friendelap, for example: The stamp at the upper corner on the right expresses the former, and du the lower left hand corner means the latter. The learned in this language request their correspondents to adeept their love . by placing the stamp on a lino with the surname, and the response is made, if the party addressed be engaged, by placing the stamp in the sameplace hut reversing it. The writer may wish to say farewell to "his sweetheart, or vice.rersa, and does so by pleciag the stamp straight up and down in the left hand corner. And so on to tbe end �f the chapter. There are in the world about • 6,000 varieties or stamps. • " hichigan Forest' Eireg, To the Baiter of theXontr_eal Witness: .
