TAKE AS MUCH WATER AS YOU WANT WITH YOUR MEALS. It Is Excellent For the Digestion. It la Claimed, ■■ Neither Gastric Juice | Nor Pepatn Work Properly L'nleaa I Largely Dilated With Water. ' How much water should we drink fend when should we drink it are questions so simple that at first sight their discussion seems superfluous. One j Would naturally answer, “Drink all the water you wish when you are thirsty,” but authorities say, “Drink more than you wish when you are not thirsty,” I for they recommend that a gallon or so be drunk between meals, which is 1 more water than we need and the very [ time the system least demands it. Us- ■ jially we experience thirst during or directly after eating. Inasmuch as 87 per cent of the whole body is water, which is, of course, being used up every moment, there is no question that we should drink of this element copiously, but it is a serious question whether we should refrain, from water at meals—the time we par- , ticularly desire it There is a class of persons, ever growing more numerous, that believes that whatever is is wrong. For the natural and simple they would substitute the artificial and- complicated. To drink water while or jdirectly after eating is a natural instinct. Give a dog his dinner, putting a bowl of water near it, and observe that he will first eat all he can and then immediately drink. Wild animals look for a stream after feeding. Cage birds will stop pecking at seed to peck at water. Children have a perpetual thirst, and I have seen babies that, unlike young Oliver, have refused to eat more when denied water after every few mouthfuls. It is especially important that Irbies be given what water they wish and at I Jhe time they wish it ( which is usually tat table. | The thinner food is the more easily ‘and thoroughly is it digested; in fact, it cannot be digested until it has been made liquid by the gastric and intestinal juices. Indigestion is caused often toy food that has not been sufficiently moistened by the digestive secretions. There are sound physiological reasons for our craving water with meals. Water is the solvent that constitutes 85 per cent of the gastric juice. Now, when one eats a hearty meal and does not drink, the amount of water in the etomaeh is not sufficient thoroughly to moisten the great quantity of food, and this makes digestion difficult On the other hand, when enough water is ingested with the food the latter is well moistened and broken up, the digestible particles being then readily acted, on by the gastric juice and afterward absorbed. Again, when the partially digested food (chyme) passes into the intestines it Is most Important that it be very moist, particularly as water Is constantly absorbed from the chyle in the large intestine. Bad cases of constipation are caused by dry chyle remaining in the intestines, where it sets up an inflammation that sometimes; proves fatal, dry faeces, of course, resisting peristaltic action. The excrement of persons suffering from constipation is always dry and hard and is a potent cause of appendicitis. The idea that water drinking at meals unduly dilutes the gastric Juice 1 is nonsensical, water being not so palatable that one is apt to drink more than his digestive functions require. As a matter of fact water generally i facilitates the digestion of albuminous substances. In this connection Dr. A. ■ Jacobi in his work on “Infant Diet,” page 67, says: I “In experiments upon digestion of albumen with gastric juice obtainedfrom the stomach of animals it was noticed that after a certain time the process began to slacken, but was renewed merely by the addition of water. The gastric juice became saturated with the substance it had dissolved and ceased to act upon what remained until it had been diluted. In the living stomach this dilution is of even greater importance, for it permits of the immediate absorption of the substances soluble iii water and which do not require the specific action of the gastric juice.” Neither the gastric juice nor pepsin has any true digestive action unless they be largely diluted with water. It goes without saying that it> is not .the food that is ingested, but that ■which is digested, that does good, and this principle holds good with water, which is practically a food. Now, when one resists the perfectly natural desire to drink while eating he may be not thirsty several hours afterward, but he is advised nevertheless to force himself to drink at that time. But if he drinks then, the water, having no food to mix with it, will go through him, as it were—that is, it will do no good. The importance of water to the human economy may be inferred from the various purposes it subserves. First, it softens and dissolves solid foods, thus facilitating their mastication and digestion; second, it maintains a due bulk of blood and the structures of the body; third, 1 it‘keeps substances ( in solution or susbehsibn while moving, in the body; fourth? it supplies elements in the body’s chemical changes; fifth, it makes .easy, the elimination of waste material; sixth,’ it discharges superfluous heat by transpiration through the skin and-by emission through other outlets, •and, seventh,- it supplies in a convenient form heat to or abstracts heat from ■ the body. Some of these functions are performed by water in its liquid state and others in a state of vapor. . H-’-c you indigestion? Try water instntrl of drugs with your food.—G.

I remember many years ago a dinner at the palace—a great official dinneewhere among the guests wete ifiany ’of the old leaders of rebellions, old upholders of the shogunate. The last shogun himself, Prince Tokugawa, proud, silent, grim, sat opposite to me, and I wondered if any human emotion could show itself on that impassive face. At that moment the emperor raised his glass and bowed in kindly smiling fashion to bis ancient opponent. The face changed, was suffused for one illuminating moment with a 1 glow of responsive fire. It seemed as if the emperor was once more thanking the shogup for his splendid pa- , triotic act when after years of strug- ' gle he voluntarily laid his power and his prerogatives at the emperor’s feet 1 “for the good of the country,” and as I if Prince Tokugawa, looking back—- ' and looking forward—for Japan, said to himself once more, “It was well done.” —Mary C. Fraser in World's Work. • Figures That Stagger. It used to be that astronolny, with its stupendous magnitudes, incredible velocities and inconceivable distances, seemed to make the greatest demand i on man’s belief, says the London Tele- ' graph. Today it is physics. We read, for instance, that Hertz’s oscillations give rise to 500,000.000 oscillations per second. Where is the man who can conceive*of anything happening in the five-hundred-millionth part of a second? But this is quite a long period compared tA some of those now accepted as inevitable optics. According to Maxwell’s great theory, a light wave is a series of alternating electric currents flowing in air or interplanetary space and changing their direction 1,000,000,000,000,000 times per second. And this is supposed to be true of'every form of light coming from the sun, the electric lamp or a lucifer match. Who can think of anything happening in the thousand-mi Ilion-million tir part | of a second? Landseer’s Valet, [ Sir Edwin Landseer, the famous animal painter, had an old servant--his butler, valet and faithful slavenamed William, who was particularly assiduous in guarding the outer portal. No one could by any possibility gain direct access to Sir Edwin. The answer would invariably be, “Sir Hedwinis not at ’ome.” The prince consort himself once received this answer when he called amplified on that occasion by the assurance that “he had gone to a wedding,” an entire fiction on William’s part, as the prince found out, for on walking boldly in and round the garden he noticed Sir Edwin looking out of his studio window. This was the faithful attendant who one day, when a lion had died at the “zoo” and his corpse came up In a four wheeled cab to be painted from, startled his master with the question, “Please, Sir Hedwln, did you border a lion?” Thatched Route In England. “The thatched roof, which makes the English cottage picturesque, is doom- ’ ed,” said an architect. “For some years it has been going gradually.

They who want insurance must substitute for the roof of thatch a tiled one. As long as the English cottager remains very poor so that his house and furniture, are not worth insuring he keeps a thatched roof over his head. |As soon be begins to prosper and I lays in household goods of value he takes out a fire policy and away then . goes his thatched roof.” — Louisville Courier-Journal.

Hot or coMf water is excellent as an application for inflaasinatioa, congestions or abrasions, but bow man* people know which to apply in particular cases while awaiting the arrival of medical relief? Not many, and the mistakes made in some instances are ludicrous. Take the barber, for example, who has cut bis patron's face. He generally washes the face with a towel soaked in warm water, often pressing it right into-the injury, and then wonders why the blood flows from the cut so freely. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred if he had used cold water, and the colder the better, the blood would have ceased to flow from the injury altogether, as the cold would have a tendency to contract the openings in the torn blood vessels. In all cases of such cuts or abrasions very cold water will at least reduce the amount of bleeding if it doesn’t stop it altogether, and yet, singularly enough, boiling water will have the same effect. Water below the boiling point increases the flow, but above that degree decreases it. In surface inflammations or congestions cold water ought to be used, while if the condition is situated below the surface hot water is necessary as an application because it draws the blood toward the surface and thus stimulates the circulation through the part where it is most needed. In cases, of abscesses or pimples with pus forming in them, but which have not yet come to a head, the secretion of pus can be -rapidly increased and the duration of the annoyance thereby decreased by applying hot water to them at frequent intervals. Where the eye is inflamed or smarts, after a period of eye strain, such as night work often induces, hot applications are the things for relief, but the water used should be gradually allowed to coo] off toward the ood. Tired eyes will Invariably be rejuve- 1 nated by adopting this method of treatment, and many headaches resulting from such a condition may thereby be prevented or cured.—St. Louis GlobeDemocrat. BLEAK SHETLAND. -- Its Swarme of Sea Galla and Its Lone Tree. Up a little lane off Lerwick’s one street there is a garden. At least, it is an inclosed space. In the middle of this space there is a tree. It is not a very tall tree; you could, in fact, toss a biscuit over its branches, but still it is a tree—the only tree in Shetland. And Shetland is proud of it Children who are brought for the first time to see the wonders of one streeted Lerwick are shown this tree. This is not fiction. It is the only tree in Shetland. As there are no trees in Shetland, there are no birds, except, of course, the sea gulls, which you can number by the thousand. The sea gulls are the sparrows of Lerwick, and, as such, they have a greater share in the town’s life than have the sparrows of London. In the morning time you will note that a sea gull sits on every chimney pot. Sea gulls swoop and hover over every roof in the town. The air is full of their strange, high, plaintive, haunting cries. Their sad, shrill, long drawn cries are to Lerwick as the chattering of sparrows or the cawing of rooks are to us in England. Every house has its own familiar sea gulls and every street its own band of. sea gulls: They never mix. The children house have a pet name for their cwn particular sea gulls, and, having cftlled th£m to them by those names, they feed them every day. And each sea gull knows what is meant for him. No sea gull attached to one house ever seeks to eat the food scattered from the house next door. He does not dare; the other gulls would kill him. So all day long the sea gulls hover and call over the roofs of Lerwick, The people of the town, if they come across a little pile of rice laid upon the roadway, step over it with care. They know that it is placed there for some sea gull. And at night the sea gulls leave their own appointed chimney pots and fly gracefully away to their resting places on the rocks of'the Isle of Noss.—London Express. Hiccough at Dinner. Many persons are debarred from dining out owing to their liability to contract hiccough during a meal. As a rule when caused by food it comes on at once, and equally as a rule the food causing it is hot. Soups are mote likely to provoke hiccough than solids are. It is a good plan to forego soup, which ' can be dohe without causing remark, ; says Home Notes. Or ofie may eat a I ■ little bread befoye taking it. A third j plan is to drink a little cold and to take the soup in very small sips.

— ' L MRreea t ThU Daugerou. a.d Fewtracted Disease. Although there is always more or lew typhoid fever in most of the larger cities of this country, the late summer and autumn are the seasons when It is most to be feared. The disease is not so formidable, as regards the mortality, as some others, but its great length and the evil consequences which sometimes follow it in l the form of weak heart, weak spine or , nervous disorders make it quite as serious as some which are more fatal, but far less protracted. Unless one knows how the disease is usually spread one cannot hope to avoid it, and so ,lt may be useful to consider in what ways the«germs of the malady find their way into the system. Water is the usual vehicle for typhoid germs,, as is well known, and probably all great outbreaks of the disease in cities are due to an infected water supply. This has been strikingly shown in Philadelphia, where some parts of the city are supplied with filtered water and others with unfiltered or mixed water. Comparing two parts of the city in which the conditions, except as to water supply, are almost the same, it was found that in the one supplied with filtered water the occurrence rate of typhoid fever was one in five thousand, while in the others, in which the unfiltered water was drunk, it was one in sixteen hundred. But a city with an ideal water supply may be scourged with typhoid fever, although less severely, through the mediurf of impure Ice, and it is almost as important to know where the ice is cut, 'or with what water it is made, if artificial, as where the city water comes from. Not long since a number of officers on one of the United States ships in the Mediterranean squadron were taken down with typhoid fever. When the source of the infection was traced it was found to be some ice bought at Athens, the ice mat chine on shipboard having broken down. Another source of infection is found in oysters that have been fattened in streams contaminated with sewage. Not only has typhoid followed'tbe eating of these fish, but the typhoid bacilli have been found in the stomachs of the oysters. ~ Raw vegetables used for salads may have been grown in soil contaminated with slops used as fertilizers or may have been washed in infected water. Unless a water supply Is above suspicion all that used for drinking, tooth cleaning and in the kitchen should be boiled and the drinking water cooled by putting vessels confalnirig it on the ice, not by putting ice in the water itself. Finally, great care should be taken to screen all food from flies, for if there is a case of typhoid fever in the neighborhood flies may become most active distributers of the poison.— Youth’s Companion.

The Word “Cunaibalism.” The word “cannibalism” is really the name of a people.

The letters “1,” “n” and *“r” .are interchangeable in certain aboriginal American languages, so that ColumbUs found one West Indian island saying “Caniba” where another said “Carib,” while Shakespeare’s Caliban is another variety of the same.

’ "i - - — It 18 related by Professor Bell that when a friend of hlk *»» traveling abroad he one morning took out his purse to see if it contained sufficient change for a day’s jaunt he intended making. He departed from his lodgings, leaving a trusted dog behind. When he dined he took out his purse to pay and found he had lost a gold coin from it On returning home in the evening his servant informed him that the dog seemed very ill, as they could not induce him to eat anything. He went at once to his favorite, and as soon as he entered the room the faithful creature ran to him, deposited the gold coin at his feet and then devoured the food placed for him with great eagerness. The truth was that the gentleman had dropped the coin in the morning. The dog had picked it up and kept it in his mouth, fearing even to eat lest he should lose his master’s property before an opportunity was afforded him to restore it.—Chambers’ Journal. Origin of Crescent Bread. The origin of the Viennese bread shaped like a crescent, which is found in most places on the continent, dates back to the time when the Austrian capital was being besieged by the Turks under the terrible Grand Vizier Kara Mustapha, and as they failed to take the city by assault they decided to dig a passage under the walls and so penetrate into the town. In the daytime the noise of the siege made the sound of the tunneling inaudible, and at nighttime the defenders of the place were asleep, all but the sentries and the bakers. It was the bakers who, as they baked the bread for the garrison, heard the pickaxes of the miners coming nearer and, nearer and gave the alarm. In the fighting the Bakers’ association took their share with the utmost bravery, and as a reward for their services the emperor gave them permission to make a special cake shaped the Turkish crescent.—London Sketch. Once a Neat of Pirates. Lundy, in the Bristol channel, is an island where one may see an earthquake at any time. There is nothing alarming about these* “earthquakes,” howeveM. They are simply certain curious crevasses in the west of the island, which the local people call by that name. Lundy in former centuries was a notorious nest of pirates. In King Henry lll.’s time William de Marisco, a traitor to the king, built a castle there and set up as an early Captain Kidd. And so it went on through the centuries until in the middle of‘the eighteenth Thomas Benson, a Barnstable merchant, . who was then lessee of the island, was convicted of piracy and smuggling and expelled. He had a contract for carrying convicts to the American colonies and used quietly to land them on Lundy and use their labor there. ' The Nine In the Calendar. The figure 9, which came into the calendar on Jan. 1, 1889, will stay with us 111 years from that date, or until Dec. 31,1999.

The figures 3 and 7 occasionally fall into odd combinations, but neither of them has ever yet served for a longer period than 100 consecutive years ip, our calendar since the present mode of calculating time was established. It is also clear that from their relative positions among the numerals it is an impossibility for either of them to appear in date, reckonings continuously for a longer period than a century.

WASHINGTON’S WATCH. — Aaoor««s t« the t the Timepiece Still Ticks. New York «tate is rich in fairy tore, Washington Irving was fond of the lit-' tie people, and he found that they disported among the mountains and in the forests everywhere in the old Empire State. Within thirty-five miles of New York city, among the Ramapo hills, there are scores of places where, according to tradition, elves, sprites, fairies, brownies and all the assemblage of quaint beings whose common language is poetry and whose home is in the woodlands can be found if looked for in the proper spirit. Aside from the fairies there are interesting traditions connected with men and women of historical renown. At Ramapo, close to the boundary line of New Jersey, on a mighty pinnacle of the Torne mountain, there is a place called “Washington’s watch pocket.” It is a crevice in the rock that looks as if some giant had seized the rock and torn it apart as one might separate a slice of bread. If you put your ear close to this crevice and listen intently you can hear, far below, the sound of a watch ticking. Tbe story is that George Washington stood at that spot one day atone looking through a telescope to see whether the British were approaching. His staff was some distance away, for to climb to that ledge of the mountain required—and still requires—considerable labor. Washington was a tall, powerful man, as all the world knows, and he thought nothing of the<cllmb, but the officers of his staff were a little more, jealous of their exertion, and they were willingenough to obey their chief when he told them that they need not go with him. As Washington stood, statue-like, peering through the telescope, he thought he could discern a line of red among the trees a great many miles up the Ramapo pass. “The redcoats—the British!” he may have murmured as he closed his telescope. It was now that the incident occurred that feave the name of “Washington’s watch pocket” to this opening in the rock. Incumbered with the telescope—which was not one of the convenient fieldglasses that are In pse today, with a strap‘around it to prevent its falling —Washington dragged hte watch from his fob to calculate what time it would probably be when the enemy reached that spot. The wffitch slipped out of his hand, seals and all,and fell into, the crevice far out of sight. I It is strange that the watch should continue to go without being wound. But it is averred that it is certainly ticking to this day. The understanding is that the patriotic imps of . the mountain wind it, because it belonged to the Father of His Country, and that they will do so to the end of time. The verification of this legend is that there is the Torne mountain and there is the crevice, and' every one knows that George Washington really lived. | —— ) A Papal Bull. A papal bull is published by the pope. It may be an ediet, a decree or a rescript which contains an order or a decision to be publicly declared. It is only indirectly that the word “bull” • is. applied to the document Itself. It belongs' properly to the seal, without which the paper would'not be reeogniped. This seal is rarely of gold or of wax. It was originally of lead and is still commonly of that niatetlaL Lead was used for seals In the time of the ancient Romans and is still used for that purpose in Italy? The Italian name of this bit of lead is “bolla.” It was in Latin “bulla.” Both the material and the form have dropped out of sight. The Roman bulla whs a circular disk or a case like a watch or a circular locket. It was worn by boysor noble families attached to a chain which was wound several times round the neck and which fell in front so that the bulla rested on the breast. This object was' frequently a little case which contained some charm against sickness and the “evil eye,” which was dreaded even more than disease. At a later time the bulla was worn by the sons of freedmen at Rome. Its use was a mark of rank and gentility. New Names For Old Troubles. ' What a finedhing it would have been for the human race had physicians never discovered anything about the nervous system or invented such terms as “netvous prostration” and “nervous dyspepsia.” It makes one green with envy to think of those former times when people knew little or nothing . about anatomy and when they called things by their right names. When they were ill tempered or jealous or melancholy they said they were, instead of putting everything on the poor nerves as we do now. When physicians are called in and find themselves at a loss to know just what is the matter with the patient—and even the I very cleverest of them sometimes do find themselvfes in that humiliating position—they can always fall back upon the “nerves,” with the certainty, that the patient will quite .agree with them and also that he will immediately, justify the diagnosis by having a nervous attack of some sort.—Charleston News and Courier. How Colds Are Caught.

People shiver into their clothes in cold rooms or sit in their apartments chilled by, the first fall winds, and then wonder .why they catch cold.
