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.

Snoozing rimy 1)0 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 a point which the upper river 101140 0021 also reach with safety. This knowledge concern- ing the river passage was only gamed during the pastseason, when Captain Wiggins:second- ed the river asfar as Rantoul, t he poin t above referred to.
