THIRsT.-Ilot weather induces
thirst, and lIarper's Bazaar contains
an article on the subject. 1t truly
says that there is nothing but water
capable of satisfying thirst, and that
other drinks answer this purpose
only in proportion to the quantity
of water they contain. Due regard is
to be had to tho quantity taken, and
also the manner of drinking, but
with this precaution, the writer says
that "water may be drunk in its
coldest degree of temperature" One
remark we quote: "Science cor
demns the use, particularly in hot
weather, Of all the spirituous drinks,
as brandy, gin and whisky. Liebig
and his followers give this as the
reason: Alcohol, the chief constitu-
ent of all spiritual liquors, is mainly
composed of carbon, which is the
fuel required by the body to keep up
the animal neat. In summer, Of
course, but little of this fuel is re-
quired. If, however, a large quanti-
ty is supplied there will be ar excess,
which is left unconsumed, and re-
naming in the body without use,
does harm in various ways"

WONDERS OF TIE GULF STREAM-
There is river ia the ocean. In
the sevcrcst drouth it never fails, and
in the mightiest floods it never over
flows. Its banks and its bottoms
are of cold water. while its stream is
warm. The Gulf of Mexico is its
fountain, and its mouth is in the
Arctic sea. 1t is The Gulf Stream.
There is in the world no other so
majestic flow of water. Its current is
more rapid than the Mississippi or
the Amazon, and its volume more
than thousand times greater. Its
waters, even far from the Carolina
coast, are of AN indig" blue. They
are 80 distinct Y marked that the line
of Junction with the common sea
