Bow to Use Hot Water.
Ono of the shnplest and most effectual
means of relieving pain is by the use of hot
water, externelly an(1 internally, the tem-
perature varying acoordieg to the feelings
of the patient, For bruises, sprains, and
eimilar accidental hurts it should be applied
immediately, as hot as can be borne, by
means of a cloth dipped in the water and
laid on the wounded part, or by immersion,
if convenient, and the treattnent kept op tilt
relief is obtained. 11 applied at once the
use of hot water will generally, prevent,
nearly if not entirely, the bruised fleth from
turning black. For pain resulting from incli.
gestion, and known as wind colic, &e., a aup
of hot water taken in sips will often relieve
nt once. When that is Insufficient, a fian•
nel folded in several thicknesses, large
mough to fully cover the painful place,
should be wrung out of hot water and laid
over the seat of the pain. It should be aS
hot an the skin can bear evithent iujury, and
be renewed every ten minutes, or oftener if
it feels eool, until the .pain is gone. The
remedy is simple, aliment, hermless, and
within the reach of every one, and shoulcl
be more generally used than it is.
Should Breathe Through the Nose.
sf Have you ever noticed," said a physi.
Man, "how many of the people you meet
have the habit of keeping their lips parted a
little? Just observe people's] num ths in

suprised at the truth of what I tem telling

now tinsel have put you on your guard, but
you will find the number is exceedingly
large. I venture to say that motes than
three-quartera of the men and women to be

to have their motiths habitually partly open.
To some extent this is due to the catarrh,
which is almost a national disease, which '

it is largely the result of 'sad habits. ,
The habit of opening the lips a little is
easily acquired, an& like all habits, not 1

some people who hnve the habit of bumming
to themselves as they walk, which natur. I

A New Route to Silwria.
After fifteen years of patient, peeseverie
effort, and the expenditure of elerge pate 0
his 0100 resources together with funde sup
plied by his friends, Captain Wiggine ha
succeeded in densonstratine to the world
that a practicable water route exists between
England and Centeal Siberia by way of the
Kara Sea. The problem which this brave
navigator has solved is two -fold ; fleet, that
during a certain pert of the year the Roza
sea offers a trustworthy, route to navigation;
and second, that the Yonesei river whose
storm -swept estuary deters the small craft
that plies on the upper river from attempt-
ing to come dawn to the mouth, and winch
is thickly studded with emell islandsman be
safely asceuded by large mean resaels to
a distance of nearly two hundred ntiles, or to

ing the river passage was only gamed during
