The duke of ‘ambridge very much resembles General Sherman in his inability to remain quiet for any length of time. He was con- tinually rushing about, and from the beginning to the close of the ceremo- nies ho did not once st down. This nominal commandor-in-chiet of the English army is very tall. He is over six feet in height, but there is a shignt stoop in his shoul- ders which detracts from his military bearing. His head Is large and nearly bald; the little hair which he has left is combed in thin gray wisps over the top of his tapering skull. About the base of bis nock his nair 1s still quite thick; his forehead is full and lined with wrinkles; his nfebrows are bushy and beetling, standing out like a thick hedge round a air of blue, good-natured looking eyes. is cheek bones are high and red. is nose is large, bulging and very irregular in shape. Itis not an aristocratic nose. I have seen genial London cabmen with similar noses—cabmen who had been ex- posed to the weather for many years. A pale, ron-gray mustache and thick, close-cropped side whiskers set off the broad, full face of the duke. FHis chin is double. He wore on this oceasion a kim%m. flaming scarlet full dress coat. ere was very little gold lace upon the coat. A "heavy gold orna- mented belt encircled his ponderous tig- ure. A light blue sash over his left shoulder stood out in striking contrast against the scarlet background of the coat. Pink skin-tight breeches met his high patent-leather boots at the knee; a black cocked hat with a white plume he carriod under his left arm, I constnnuK heard friendly comments from Englin admirers of the duke. Sad one: "Oh, he is so h'affable.”” The fact that this distinguished personage could smile was constantly dwelt upon as a proof of his most remarkable amability. " The Marquis of Salisbury, the prime minister, who stood at the head of the group of ministers near the royalties, was looking very tired and worn. He is #aid to be very much werried over the po- litical situation and he is beginning to feel that power is slipping away from him. He is abont the same figure as the Duke of Cambridge; he is equally tall, equaily stout and has about the same stoop in his shoulders. He has the strong, sleopy features of a man of power—the unmistakable ocountenance of a statesman. His head is very rouad and full; he even more bald than the Duke of Cambridge. In- deed, it is the oxception where an l-lnf- hish public man is not bald very early in life. Of all the royalues grouped to- getber on the day of this institute there was not a single man who had a good orop of hair on the top of his head. The Marquis of Salisbury has a heavy, pon- derous look of fatigue and indifterence. His face only lights up in a sluggish way when he is engaged in conversation, ' His complexion is quite sallow for un Eng- lishman. He has a very broad, full fore- head, deeply sot dark eyes, a straight nose, & broad, full face, the lower part of which is concealed by a silky, brown beard and mustache. Underneath his eyes he has the full, pufty look indi- cative of volubility in speech. -+ The lJines underneath his eyes are very deep. There is a bluish ge underneath the lids—signs of fati the cabinet ministers were in nniform. This uniform is very handsome and he- eoming. The coat is military cut, with « h standing collar. This collar is bro caded with a heavy gold or arabesuc figure. The coat is huttoned with a si ftlno row of gold buttons as snugly ahonut o figure as the uniform of u Life Guardsman, The cufls on the sleeves are orpamented in the same way as the collar, Ou the hips there are flaps indi- eating pockets. These flaps are covered with gold ornamentations. Broad gold strives follow the line of the Howing wide trousers. This uniform, from its simplicity and dark color, is very becom- ing. The various members of the cabi- net wore upon the breasts of their coats the orders to which ,lhe)' were entitled. P A similar style of cour by a large number of the the government. Indeed, every offici improves an apportunity to cut the bl evening dress ordinarily worn in priva life. They retain in Englaad in every possible way the picturesque dress of the past. The fncmlds and the knights who Im-, eded the queen upon tqe oceasion 1 have just mentioned were dressed ex- actly as they were 800 years ago. The advocates, the high lrw-court officers of of England, wear to-day uvon all official occasions the dress of several centuries ago. The barristers who plead before the courts wear the wig and gown of the pnst. They adhere to this additional dress with the most remarkable tenacity. 1h sked numbers of the legal pro- vy do not object to wearing these wigs and gowns. Their reply has been in the negative, saying that they wouid not upon any account give them up. This retention of all of the pictur- esque costumes of the past adds great in- terest to the general effect of nearly every public gathering from the spectacular and artistic point, T. C. CrRAWFORD, e IRRIGATION IN ARIZONA. Sandy Plain Made to Bloom Like a Paradise, ‘ St. Lowis Giobe-Democrat, Judge James H. Wright, of Prescott, A. T, Chief Justice of the Territory, ar- ri n the city last night and registered at the Laclede. In answer to a question of a (ilobe-Democrat reporter eoncern- ing the mining prospects of Ar Judge Wright sad: “The pros brighter to-day than it has been for & eral years; ~in ct, the outloo never was 80 rable. The Vul- ture mine, thirty miles from Pres- eott, s commenced operations, and will'produce more copper than ever be- fore. This mine is probably the richest i the world. Larga additions have ree- ently been made to the working capital, and the output will probably be trebled. A large amount of eastern capital has Iately been invested 1n gold and silver propertics near Prescott, and those who have purchused are very confident of largereturns. Three or four weeks ago oudge Blodgett, of Chicago, and Colonel Fordyce, of St. Lonis, were in Prescott for the purpose of mining the Ktta mine, a gold property near the Vulture, and I understand that the mine has been purchased within a week or two, and that work will be at once commenced.' “how about the general condition of the territory, Judge Wright?” “Fow people have any ideu of the great increase in population” and production that has taken place within the last three years. ‘The Phaenix, 100 miles south of Prescott. may be taken as an instance. Three years ago there was simply & straggling village there. Colonel Clark Churchill, of Arkansas, formerly attorney general of the ternitory, concewved the 1lea that the vallev of the Sult river, in which Phienix s situated, might be mado a great agricultural region. He su; ceeded in interesting a number of cap taligits in the scheme, and formed a cnmpsz called the Arizona Canal com- pany. This company commoneea work on the Verdi river, seventy-five miles away, and diverted the entire stream to the Salt river valley., The canal was completed two years ago, and worked a complete change in that district. A sandy plain 400,000 acres in extent was changed into the most fertile region I ever saw. Splendid wheat is raised, at least five crops of alfalfa hay are cut an- nually, an orange grove has been started, a large number of fig trees have been planted and are now producing magnifi- cent fruit, and they are growing a better raisin grape than ever Los Angeles can show, The land is worth from §40 to $0600 per acre, and the projectors of the canal have made fortunes. krom a mere hamlet Phenix has grown to be a city of 6,000 inhabitants, and within a few years I expect to sce 50,000 people living in the Salt river valley.” “Are other sections equally prosper- ousy” “At present Pheenmix is the most flour- ishing town in the territory, but I expect to see other places follow 1n its footsteps before long. The great problem to be solved by the peopfi\ of Arizona is the water question. A number of comvanies have been formed within the past year for the purpose of boring artesian wells on a large scale. A still more important movement in the direction of building great reservoirs for irrigating purposes has been set on foot within the last fow months, and is backed with ample capital to give the scheme a full and fair trial. The idea i3 to build dams across certain water- courses, and keep the water, that falls in rent quantities during the months of 5u|y and August, for the irrigating season. 1t necessary these reservoirs will be roofed over to_protect them from the sun, and all who have cxamined the matter express the utmost faith in the success of the plan. Work has already been commenced near Prescott, as weil as at several other places, and if the scheme proves (o be a success, the future of Arizona 13 assured. Judge Wright will remain in_the city until Sunday next, whén he will return to Prescott, accompanied by his family. - Pozzoni s Complexion Powder pro duces a soft and besutiful skin. 1t ‘com- bines every element of beauty and purity.

It is vosaible that, wheo the continents were raised from the sea, the lake-basins had been alread formed and canme up, the fore, briwful ot water. In the northern and eastern part of the continent, where the water lllPDlJ from rein and snowfall exceeds the loss by evaporation, the salt being centinuously carried away through their outlets, has become so diluted as to be as mmperceptible quantity. in arid regions, as the Pa- cific slope and the conntry about the Caspian, where the evaporation was in excess of the supply, the water level of the lakes continuously sank until, on acoount of the diminished extent of sur- face, the eqailibrium of loss and gain was attained.

How and Whero to Enjoy the Luxury Given to Rich and Poor Alike. THE EFFECTIVE “COLD PACK. Bathers With Vivid Imaginations— The Origin of the Bath—The Plunge 8hower—Interesting Instructions, St. Lows Globe-Democrat: When the surface of the body is exposed to the action of a fluid or gas with which it is not ordinarily in contact, or when unus- ual conditions are present, a bath is said to be taken. Hence water, vapor and hot or cold air baths are among those in ordi- nary use, while oil, milk, wine,and fluids variously medicated have been employed for bathing. The effects produced by baths are brought about by wmodifying the temperature of the skin and, through that, of the blood and entire body, and various effects upon the nervous system, many of them, donbtless, through the modifications of temperature just re- ferred to, but also by stimulation or soothing effects exerted upon the nerve endings in the skin, whence th nsory effects are transmitted to the great ner- vous centers in the spinal cord and \in. The skin serves two extremely impor- tant purposes: It protects the internal parts against external injury, and by means of the pecspiration thrown out by the innumerable sweat glands, 1t acts as wtor of the temperature of the entire system. Under ordinauy conditions about thirty ounces of tluid are evaporated from the surface, this consists almost exclusively of w Under the mfluence of certain drugs, or of dry heat applied to the surface, this amount may be greatly exceed rising to two, three or mo within a_few hours. When the are not in good working order the may take their place; to some degree, in removing poisonous waste products tfrom the body. “In health there is httle ma- terial of this Kind thrown out by the sink about half an ounce as a daily average. The skin is provided with glands which furnish an oily substance which keeps the external surface phiable and not fissures, L'his, when mixed with perspi- ration and particles of dust and the small amount of organic matters before mentioned, soon decomposes and be- comes more or less irritating, as well as odorous. The sur is composed of hard, dry scales (epithelibm), which are continuilly being shed and replaced by new ones; these mix with the other mat- ters referred to, and contribute to un- cleanliness of person and to make these substances irritating to the integument and, as a natural consequence, a most potent factor in exciting disease in this protective covering.

Hence the more horribly disgusting and offensive the sub- stance dissolved in the “medicine’’ bath, the better for the success of the primit practitioner. 8Some of the wise law- ers among the Oriental nations have con- coived such a high opinion of the efficacy of the bath that they have enjoined upon the people the daily practice of bathing, and fixed it firmly making it a religious ceremony: "This isun import- ant part of the 1t _of Islam and has probably had considerable to do with the success of that religion. If the follower of the Prophet cannot obtain water for his daily ablutions, he must expose his skin to the action of the sand of the des- ert, or at least to the dry wind which blows over thesc wastes, In the use of water for bathing pur- poses, the temperature of the bath 1s of the vei r importance. The ca- pacity equaled by any substance "known. effects of withdrawing heat from the body are most marked. When the heat is rapidly reduced far below that of health—98.4 degrees Farenheit.—the ef- feets are comparable only with those of nicchanical violence. ~ When the heat develoved in the body is not permitted to escape, or when it is increased to any great extent, the results are fully as dis- astrous. For practical purposes, then, the bath in water—without any attention to what 1t may contain in solution—18 to be re- garded from the standpoint of tempera- tare. If the water is ata temperature anywhere helow 60 degrees F., it is to be considered as *‘cold;” from 60 to 75 de- from 75 to 85 aegrees from 85 to 92 degrees from 92 to 98 degrees it is d 1f 1t be over 98 degrees, it isa ."" Sometimes the “‘gradu- ated bath’ recommended; this means a bath at 90 to 100 degrecs into which the bather enters, and the temperature of which is gradually lowered, by the addition of cold water, to the extent of i.'; or 30 degrees in the course of haif an our. ‘There are & number of varicties of bath at each temperature. Thus, if the entire_body 18 submerged, it is a full bath; if the fect only aro immersed, it is a foot bath, etc. Sponging the entire surface is an easy and convenient means of securing most of the advantages of the full bath, while the trouble of the Iatter (expense also), is avoided, If cold water is used, the skin is stimnlated and the nervous system receives all the tonic effeets to from bathing. The shower-bath is still more stimulating to the nerves and skin.

The first effoct of the application of cold to the skin is to eanse a sudden contraction of the small blood-vessels, thus driving the blood in upon the central organs. An additional strain is thus placed upon the yessels of the lungs, brain, in fact of the whole interior department. If their walls have been weakened by dis- eade, they may give way, apoplexy or rn{tm‘a of an ancurism may follow the The tmnjndicious application of cold bathing. n infants and the aged, reaction does not readily follow the external applica- tion of cold. 1f the most vigorous indi- vidual piunges into water at G0 to 40° or loss, the tirst effect is to cause a shock to the entire systom, the blood leaves the surface, which becomes cold and blue, the skin shrinks, the breath is drawn spasmodically and in many there 15 & tendency toward ‘‘cramping’ or spasm, n the muscles, The temperature of the entire body rapidly falls—sometimes nearly 102, us shown by the thermome- ter in the mouth.

Inis form of bathing should never be resorted to when the body is exhausted and losing heat by u\'x?mr‘xliun of the perspiration. 1t does no harm, rather is useful i preventing “‘catching cold,”when taken in the shape of a cold plunge or show when the body is overcharged with heat from the 'l'm'i(!sh or Russian bath, or in fevers. Of course, in such cases care must be taken not to reduce the temperature wmuch below that of health. THE COLD BATH. The best time for the cold bath, when taken habitually, is in the morning while the body is still ' warm from the ved. A momentary plunge, sponging of the sur- e, ot shower, followed by brick fric- with the flesh brushor rough towel, acts as a fine tonic upon those who react promptly from the chill. All others should content themselyes with the “cool™ bath—609 to 78 F. The cfieets of the cool b: are exactly the ame as those just deseribed,only not so severe, 1t forms a good intFoduction to cold bath for those who tind it de- sirable to undergoa process of harden- ing, The temperatury ould be very fr.uln:\llv reduced, and eare should e taken to secure prompt and full reac- tion, otherwise even the cool bath may 7 c. . bathing should not be ta if the weather is below 60 degrees F.

About three hours after mealsis the best time to take a seu bath, and eating should not be in- dulged in until full reaction 15 secured after the bath. Cool and ¢ Id baths are among the most valuabl the means at our com- mand in the treatment of fevers of all kinds, The high temperature adds enor- mously to the danger of these diseases. In pneumonia, typhoid, typhus, and the eruptive fevers the reduction of tempera- ture is one ot the objects to be atiiined by treatment. Cold sponging of the en- tire surface can be apphed to any case, nm matter how great the weakness, with- out risk of adding to the exhaustion. It the cold bath is usd} l‘{r is well to first ivo a little wine or diluted brandy or v/ v before placing’ a weak patient in the bath. The temperature should be watched by means ofithe thermometer 1 the mouth, and when reduced to the natural deg (98.4 degrees), the patient should be removed and brisk rubbing of the surface should be kept up until warmth returns. It should be remem- bered that it isimpossible to* hocold™ as long as feveris prosent. T} bear of great proportigns that aroused strong opposition to the use of this most important of measures to com- bat fe The ‘‘cold pack’ s, a very effective way of securing most of the benetits of the cold bath in fevers. The mode of applying it 18 as follows: A sheet is wrung out of cold water—the colder the better—and spread upobn a smooth mas tress. The patient, divested of all rai- ment, is placed upon this, the arms folded and the lower limbs close together. The sides of the sheet are then carefully wrapped about the limbs, so that oppos- ing surfaces are separated. One or two comforts or & light feather bed should then cover all securely. The chill of the surface is soon followed by full reaction; the heat of the hody is promptly carried away, and a feeling of comfort and lan- guor succeeds which is very soothing. Sleep may, be secured in this way for the maniae, the patient delirious with fever, or the victim of insomnia, after tailure of the most powerful coties. 1f the object is simply to reduce the tempers ture, the “pack” should bo repeated as soon as reaction has fully developed— in about fifteen minute Four ‘“‘wet- sheet packs’® are about as effective as one “full” cold bath, In some cases the cold bath does not secure the required reduction of fever, The cold seems to drive the superheated blood away from the surface, and this without cooling anything more_than a little of it nearest the surface. In these the “wet pack,”” or even the warm bath, a very well, by bring the circulating fluid to the surface, where it caa part with its heat by radiation. When coid applications fail to do good this vractical pointshould be remembered. The ‘“‘graduated bath" is especially suited to redueing the tem- perature when it does not run very high, especially if the patient is rather weak and does not appear able to sustain the shock of the cool or cold bath. If decided chilliness is induced, it should be discon- tinued and brisk frictions be used until reaction is fully established. If reaction should be brought about with dificulty, as may happen when robust persons have been piunged in cold water for un- usual periods in cold weather, for in- stance, warm applications should be made to the extremeties and to the *'pit of the stomach,” and brisk frictions made over the entire surtace. The warm (not hot) bath is also_of much service in dangerous chilling of the boay. lndividuals who aretoo weak to endure the shock of the cool or cold bath may secure many of the tonic baths of either by using the *‘cold air bath.” The air should be dry and pure; the clothing re- moved, and exercise be taken with dumb-bells or the Indian clubs, while sunlight, 1if it can be had atthe same time, adds to the tonic miluence. The tonic effects of cold are of great value, but care must always,be taken that the matter is not overdone, otherwise harm will result, ol TEPID AND WARM BATHS. The tepid bath is a'Udglicious restora- tive after prolonged fatigue, such asa journey. It is n_outhv,nfi‘m the nervous system and cleapsing to the skin. Homer tells us that the old Greeks treated their guests to the tepid bathand rubbing the skin with some bland oil after the bath was thought a pleasant,sgquel to the lat- 1 ter. e Thewarm bath is that most employed, with a viw to its medicinal action. The effects are soothing to the nervous sys- tem and also to the skjn itself, relievin many disagreeable sensations connecte with various skin disea; The warm bath may be *‘medicated”’ in a variety of e ways. An acid bath may contain one and one-half ounces of strong nitric acid, with one ounce of strong muriatic acd, to thirty gallons of water. This nitro-muriatic acid bath is supposed to be useful in diseases of the liver, but this is doubtful; it 1s of benefit in some forms 08 eczemsa, urticaria (‘‘nettle rash'), and of her skin affections marked by intolera- bi itching. Other cases are benetitted by the alkaline bath, containing four ounces of earbonate of soda, or carbon- ate of potash, to thirty gallons of warm water, Borax, two ounces, and one-half pound of starch, in each alkaline bath, aro thought to make it still more sooth- h;z to the system and softening to the skin, The warm sulphur bath s decidedly [ stimulating besides acting ns a specific in the parasitic skin disease called the itch It mhy be made by dissolving four ounces of sulphurated potash (liver of sulphur) in thirty gallons of water. The bathtub shculd be of wood and the stay in the bath should be thirty minutes. The natural sulphur waters are useless for this special form of bath, because none of them contains enough sulphur e it ellective as a destroyer of the t sect. The warm bath is sometimes modified by the addition ot maltor bran which makes them rather more soothing, or by pine tree needles (leaves) or her gs like chamomile, mint, ealamus, clove® blos- soms, ete.,, which make them more stim- ulating. In some conditions tan bark, four to six pounds to the bath, may be used; the tannin set free in the water has an astringent effect, desirable in some skin diseases, Or ground mustard, three to six ounces to the bath of thirty gal- lons may be used to increase the stimu- The mustard bath should es of infantilo diseases, like convulsions, ete., orthe tation of the skin may be carried too and the ultimate eflects of the bath prove more harmful than the original disease. Common salt is a good and safe bn to the bath, when it is thought well to increase its stimulating eftects; one or two pounds may be added to the bath of thirty gallons, less for iufants or very feeble adults. BATHS IN G The so-called natural properties which make it preferable to the common salt of the shops for bathing purposes, The bog, peat or mud bath is simply arm bath to which swamp mud added. Such a mixture is brob- little more stimulating than the ordinary steam bath, and miay produce some eflect through the medium of the imagination not to be had from the bath of clear water, Some cases of paralysis (hysterieal?) nre reported as having been rapidly cured by the bog or peal bath.

It prevents atching cold,” and prevents too much depression. Thne hot air or Turkish bath is the best way of obtaining the advan- tages of the hot bath. The heat may be carricd hgh—to 125 or 150 degrees, or even 200 Fahrenheit—-without harm, so long as the airis dry and the head is kept cool.

The cold plunge should succeed the Turkish bath, when the body is prespir- ing freely because of active exercise just taken or’ from exposure to a high ex- ternal temperature, a sudden_chilling of the surface does no harm. ‘T'he Roman youth used to plunge into the Tiber when bathed in perspiration following athlectic exer and no harm followed the proceedure, but Alexander the Great nearly lost his life from a plunge into the 'yanus after an exhausting mareh, Russian or vapor bath proauces nearly the same effects as that of hot air, but the temperature must not be above 110s to o F.

But the effects of increasing the action of the sweat-glands and raising the body heat are like those pro- duced” by the “full hot water or hot air baths.

The hot sand bath is suvposed to be generally useful in chronic joint diseases of rheu- matie origin. The electric bath was at one time ex- pected to do wonders, but few have faith that it will accomplisn aore than can be had from the use of electricity and baths separately. There seem to be no special advantages to be seccured from a combin- ation of the two. e A Remedy For Chills RocnEesTer, N. Y., Dee. 16, 1885, Four years ago I contracted a hard cold that settled on wy lungs. 1 had a severe chill, followed by — high fever, raging headache, pain on my left side over the lung, sind every time a (it of coughing came on, which was every few minutes, it was terrible to bear the pain. I thought it meant an attack of pneumo- nia, a8 I went through a two-months siege of that disense, and it came on just the same way. As it was night I thought I would wait until morning before send- ing for a doctor. _Fortunately, a half- box of AL JK’S POROUS PLASTERS was found in the possession of a friend who boarded with us. One of these was put on my throat, two on my chest, and one on my back over the left shoulder blade. then had a hot foot-bath. After again getting into bed, it seemed but a few minutes when all my symptoms were re- lieved; the skin became quite moist; I coughed onl{( at intervals, and then with very little effort, and in about an hour 1 was in a sound sleep, from which I dia not awake until morning, I resumed business in two days. H. F. FLETCHER, e Cigars From Stumps. Boston Herald: * ‘Snipe’ hunting, sonny?" asked a reporter, about 4 o'clock yesterday mnrninfi' of o boy who had stooped and picked up something out of the street in front of the Boston and Main railroad station. . *'No; I'se spicking ‘butts,’” replied the yeungstes. “Well, you call that ‘snipe’ hunting, don’t you?” said the Herald man. “Some of the boys call 'em ‘snipes,’ but I calls 'em ‘butts.” " The boy was an Italian, about nine years of age, and while talking to the ro- porter, was industriously storing away cigar stumps, picked up from the gutter, in & bag made of ticking; which hung on his left arm by along tape. The bag would hold perhaps two Cquarts, and the lad, at that early hour, had it about one- third ftilled. “\What do you do with the stumps®" “I sells 'em.” “Sell them, to whom?" “To a man who makes cigars of ‘em. He gives me 25c¢ for this bag full. Some- times when I gets nice long ones he gives me 5c more. He cuts 'em up and puts 'em inside eood cigars,” said the youngster, probably meaning that his employer used them for filling with first- class tobacco for wrappers. “Do you fill that bag every morning *" “Oh,’yes! 1 fills it twice, and some- times u?mr holidays like the Fourth of July, [ could fill it'a half a dozen times, but then I take a bigger bag. 1 mukes $5 or $1n week in the summer time, and gwq to school, too, when school keeps, ut in the winter time you can’t get many ‘butts,’ 'cept when there's no snow on the ground. “The man has lots of boys working for him and he buys all we can bring him. He sells the cigars for 10c and 15¢c apiece.” hot na Fever. Carefor the Children Children feel tho debility of the ehanging seasons, even moro than adults, and they be- come cross, peevish, and uncontrollable. The blood should be cleansed and the system {nvigorated by the use of Hood's Sarsaparilla, “Last 8pring my two ehildren were vacel- nated. Soon after, they broke all out with run- ning sores, so dreadful T thought I should lose them, Hood's Sarsaparilla cured thom come pletely; and they have been healthy ever ince. Tdo feel that Hood's Barsaparilla saved my children to me.” Mns, G L. Tuomrsox, West Warren, Mass, * Purify the Blood That Tired Feeling The warm weather has a dobilitating effect, especially upon those who are within doors most of the time. The peculiar, yet common, eomplaint known as *“that tired feeling,” 1s the result. This feeling can be entircly overcome by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, which gives new lifo and strength to all the functions of the body. “I could not sleep; had no appetite. I took Hood's Sarsaparilla and soon began to sleep soundly; could get up without that tired and languid feeling; and my appetito improved.” R.
