I Another Phenomenal Case.
. . . . j-
John Nichols, a farmer living near
Thompson, Pa., while walking in the
woods on his farm thirty years ago,
ran a twig into his right ear. A piece
of it broke off iu his head. He heaame
deaf, and at lities suffered intense
pain in his head. Two weeks ago this
pain became unusually acute and con
tinued without cessation until Saturday,
last. On that day Mr. Nichols felt a
prickling sensation in Lis left ear, and
with a pair of tweezers pulled cut a
round piece of wood three-quarters of
an inch long and an eight ol an inch in
diameter. Mr. Nichols was at once
relieved of pain, and his, hearing was
restored. He has no doubt that the
piece of wood is the bit of twig that
was thrust into his head thirty years
ago. If so, it passed through his head
from one ear to the other. The wood
is perfectly sound.

The veto does not settla the Chiuese
question. The people 'of the Pacific
Slope should not prejudice this case by
permitting the abuse of a single un
fortunate heathen by the rabbi in, con
sequence of it ; such a course will only
postpone the needed legislation. The
inhuman treatment of the Chinese, by
the ignorant mobs of San Francisco,
has done much to create public senti
ment iu their favor. "If such a -course
is persisted in, and the slushy talk
about secession continues a bitter con
troversy will result, when such disa
greement is entirely unnecessary Peo
ple take small stock in a movement led
by such spirits. This question is a
grave orw, requiring wisdom and states
manship and the people who have been
invited to cur shores can well claim
our protection whi'e they are amenable
to our laws.
Hot and Cold Baths
The London Lancet in a recent nnm
ber points out ihe difference between
ihe effects of hot and cold baths. The
effects of the cold bath, it says, being
mainly due to impressions made upon
the cutaneous nerves, the modifications
of the cold bath largely depend on
their power of increasing its stimula
ting action. The colder the water, the
more violent the impression. The fre
quent change of water, such as is found
in the sea or , in running stream?, in
creases the stimulating effort. Great
force of impact, as when water Tails
from a height or comes forcibly through
a hose upon the body ; the division of
the stream, as is seen in shower baths
and needle baths ; and the addition of
ot acids or salt to the water, all act, it
would seem, by increasing the stimu-
iatiijg power which the water exerts
upon tne cutaneous nerves, warm
baths produce an effect upon tne stin
directly contrary to that brought about
by cold water." The-cutaneous vessels
dilate immediately under the influenced
of the neat, and although this dilation!)
is followed by a contraction -of the ves
sels, this contraction is seldem exces
sive ; and the ultimate result of a warm
bath 13 to increase the cutaneous circu
lation. The pulse and respiration are
both quickened as in the cold bath.
The warm bath increases the tempera
ture of the body, and by lessening the
necessity for ;the internal production
of heat, decreases the call made upon
certain vital processes, and enables life
to be sustained with a less expenditure
of force. While a cold bath causes a
certain stiffness of the muscles, if con
tinued for too iong a time, a warm bath
relieves stiffuess and fatigue. The ul
timate results of hot and cold baths, if
their temperature be moderate, are
about the same, the difference being,
to use the words of Baum, that "cold
refreshes by stimulating the functions,
heat by physically facilitating them.;
and in this lies the important practical
difference between the cold water and
hot water systems."

Mr.. Editoh: I see by the pajpera
tiat Congress " l has appropriated one
hundred thousand dollars ($100,000)
for the improvement of the Cape Fear
river. . I have been acquainted with
the river for; twenty years, and am free
to say that at this time there is less
water in ija channel than I have ever
known. The attempt to close up New
Inlet is, I thiuk, the eause of it. If the
one hundred thousand dollars appro
priated would be spent in an honest
effort to! deeien the channel. anH fn
