HOW PEACE IS MADE.
Now that the drafting of the treaty of peace between Russia and Japan is being proceeded with it will not be without in- terest to recall some previous memorable peace treaties and indemnities which have been concluded during the past hundred years. And in looking back upon the his tory of the protracted, and eventful contest which has now terminated we must gaze with no unmingled feelings on the magnani- mity of Japan in regard to her decision concerning the waiving of her rights to an indemnity. We see by the wire from our correspondent at Shanghai that Russia is to pay her Yen 150,000,000 for the care- of the prisoners of war, and this cannot be re- garded as at all a crushing sum when we realise the numbers of men captured sines the outbreak of hostilities and the expenses FINE FLAVOUR to which japan has been put in the way of

Few people (says a writer in a London con- temporary) have any idea of the number of points about which a settlement must be come to at the end of a war. In 1814, when Napo
leon had been checked and made prisoner, and the King of Great Britam and ins European allies bad placed the legitimate French mo- narch on his throne, the first Treaty of Paris was made. It began, like most such agree racnts between Christian nations, "In the name of the Most Holy and undivided Trinity," and went on to declare that their Majesties were animated by "an equal desire to terminate the long agitations of Europe, and the sufferings of mankind, by a permanent peace."
The articles of the ticaty provided for the restoration of the old boundaries of France as in 1791, with some increase of territory on the side of Belgium and Germany. The communications with Geneva, the naviga. tion of the Rhine and other rivers, the saver. eignty of Malta, Holland, and certain Italian States, the Federation of Germany, and the independendence of Switzerland had to be deali.with, and the nations taking part agreed to hand over to the King of trance the colonies and territory lost by the ill-fated Republic, which had beeh in possession for twenty years. Great Britain handed over many colonies, fisheries, etc,, but received as her own parts of the French West Indies, while Sweden restored Guadaloupe to France, and Portugal retuined French Guiana. The division of warships and arsenals found in the territories changing hands bad to be provided for, and 132 also the position of public servants, public
pensioners, and fund-holders, public and pri vale debts, and the property in land purchased from the State. The "high contracting parties," desirous" to bury in entire oblivion the dissensions which have agitated Europe," arranged that no citizen in the restored coun- tries should be prosecuted, disturbed, or molested in person or property for his political opinions or his attachment to any Govern- mest, even one that had ceased to exist.

It is therefore ne-appro priate season for discussing the alleged merits and demerits of the cold bath, so that those who are likely to derive benefit therefrom may be encouraged to persevere with it, and those who will probably derive more harm than good may be warned in time against its injurious influence. Seeing that no two persons are constituted exactly alike, it is highly impro bable that the practice of the cold bath will have similar effects on all and sundry.

The cold bath is, as a rule, beneficial to the
robust, to young men, and to men in the prime of life; it is, however, generily unsuitable for early childhood, for women, for the delicate, and for the aged. Since, nevertheless, there are exceptions to every rule, each adult is able to discover the suitability or unsuitability of the cold bath for his or her individual constitu- tion by giving it a trial. On taking a cold bath, a bath in which the water is below the temperature of 70 deg. the first effect ex perienced is a sensation of cold, with perhaps slight shivering, and a gasp or two for breath. The system, in short, receives a shock. The skin becomes pale and shrunken, owing to the blood being driven out of the surface capillary vessels by their sudden contraction, and the tiny elevations of the skin, called papiæ, be

If the bath is continued for more than two or three minutes there is diminution in the bath, however, in the case of one with whom the cold bath agrees, a different set of symptoms succeeds; a sensation of glow soon comes on, with increased circulation in the capilaries of the skin.

On the robust the action of the cold bath is chiefly tonic and bracing, its cleansing or detergent properties being of the slightest. Thoroughly to cleanse the skin warm water is necessary. In the ordinary morning tub the water is mainly employed as a vehicle for the application to the surface of the body of that powerful form of energy we call cold. Under its influence the rate of oxidation of the tissues is increased. Tissue change is accelerated, the excretion of carbonic acid and urea from the system augmented, and appetite consequently increased. The sus ceptibility of the cutaneous nerves, and through them, of the cutaneous envelope as a whole, to the influence of cold, damp air is very much lessened, and the liability to chill is reduced almost to vanishing point.
