Drink Less With Your Meals.
One great error that W. commit is that
we drink too much at our meals. Before
We have sufficiently .masticated and insali- |
waited our food to enable us to swallow it,
we force It down by taking water or warm
drinks. This not only dilutes the sallvis, |
bat weakens the gastric juice after the food
gets into the stomach. sl sa. slE
Many persons take a swallow offuid with
almost every moutbful of food Look along
the side of the dinner table in any of our
| hotels, and fashionable private dining
rooms. aud you will be surprised at the
| quantities which are drank during the
meal; and if your mind be not taken up
with observing the errors of Others you may
discover the same evil in yourself, and thus
be led to correct it. This habit, sooner or
later, ends in producing dyspepsia and con-
stipations. than which there are no afec-
/ tons more destructive of health aud com
| fort. -. ... ...-.,-
When we are thirsty. at our meals or at
other times, we should drink to sllay such
thirst only. -s ....-.s.....
All solid food should be thoroughly
ground aud mixed with saliva in the mouth.
unaided and undiluted by water or other
drinks. Relyaupon it, this apparent neces-
sity for drinking is mere habit, which We
can correct at will. and all who prize health
at its true value will not consider its pres r
walton or purchase too high at the cost of
attending 10 so simple matter.
10 this age of ftobacco-chewing and smok-
ing, the salivary glands seem to be turned
to new ofice-that of cleansing this filthy
narcotic from the tee b and gums. Who
can wonder at the hollow and wan cheeks
of mankind, when such continuous drain
is established upon them?-a kind of per
petual eatarrsh or lacrymOsis of the mouth.
Take warning by what we say: II you would
have good digestion, proper action of the
system, and full ruddy cheeks, eat slower,
masticate your food better, drink less at
your meals; and you who smoke and chew,
if smoke aud chew you win. avoid splitting
as much as possible.--Menu. Avalauche.
SOME idea Of an English dukes esta'e
may be had when We state that the estab-
lishmenL of the duke of DeVonshire would
occupy one Of our large counties. The
park Immediately surrounding the place
contains 5000 acres. .. ..,-rf
The principal garden for vegetables,
fruits, green honses, etc., is twenty five
acres. -, 80
There are thirty greenhouses, each from
fifty to seventy-6ve feet long. Three or
four of these contain nothing but pine
spples; others containing nothing but mel
ons and cucumbers. ra iat
One peach tree on the glass wall measures
fifty one feet 10 width, fifteen feet in eight,

, The grsPe-houses, five or six in all. are
/ seven hundred feet long. But what shall
} be said Of the conservatory. filed with
every variety of tropical plants? 1t is one
of the wonders of the world. Il covers an
acre of ground, is one hundred feet high,
oval shape. and cost $500. 600. It's heat
ed by steam and hot water pipee, which in
sll are six miles in length. The apparatus
consumes six hundred tons Of coal in a
year.
