Frsserr'ng GrQPes.-The French method
OF preserving grapes, the year round, is by
picking the punches just before they are
thoroughly ripe, and dipping them in lime
water having the consistency of thin cream.
Inc lime coating keeps out the air and
checks any tendency 20 decay.
When grapes thus prepared are wanted
Tor the table, they are placed for moment
N bet water, and the lime viii be removed.
tlne wines and liquors, for medicinal
purposes, at O'Hara's drug store.
Water.-Rain- water, If properIv collected
and stored, is the best and safest water to
use for domestic purposes, and especially for
drinking
O'IIara'o ice cold soda water is also very
good.
Drinking While Eating.-Nature never
designed any one to wash down their food
while eating. She wisely placed saliyary
glands in various places in our mouth i:
these secrete fluid for the moistening
(bosides a chemical aotion) of the food, after
proper mostication this gets the food in a
suitable condition for swallowing. Drinking
every few minutes while eating prevents the
usual flow Of saliva; besides, washes it
down before it can have any chemical action
on certain portions of the food One of the
most pernicious habits to health is drinking
several tumbler5 Of cold water while eating;
better drink warm drink. The stomach
will not digest one particle of food when its
temperature is below one hundred degrees
Fahrenheit; neither viii it digest one atom
Of solid food until all the fluid is first alb
sorbed
No healthy person should drink more
than a half pint of some mild fluid while
taking food, and dyspeptics should not drink
drop while eating, or for an hour after
wards, when they can fully appreciate, and
safely drink glass or two of delicious
soda 1sater, which can be found at O Hara'
drug store.
Hints on Spectaczes There is a common
notion that the use of spectacles should be
put off as long as possible, but such is a
great mistake, leading often to impaired
vision for life, and is even more Injurious
than to early employment
Timely assistance relieves the eye, ant
diminish tie tendency to fattening
whereas should the use of spectacles be
longer postponed, the eye changes rapidly
and when the optician is at last consulted
it is found that a deeper focus spectacle
must be used than usual for the first pain
and even these suit but a short time, and
have to be exchanged for those of still
deeper power. 1t must not be forgotten
that, when first using speotacles, they arc
not required during daylight but only foI
reading, ETC., by artificial light and it may
be from six months to two years from the
time of first adopting them ere they viii b.
required for day use. Whenever reading
small print by candlelight is difiult, thu
book requiring to be held at q create
distance from the eye than formerly, and
more powerful light is needed, and ever
then the letters appear misty, and to rul
on into the other or seem double, and still
further in order to see more easily, the Ugh
is often placed between the eye and tn
book, and fatigue is often felt even will
moderate reading spectaeles are absolutel,
needed. Nature is calling for ald and mus
have assistance; and if such is longer with
held, the eye is needlessly taxed, and tn
change which at first was slight proceed
more rapidly, until permanent injury j
produced.
O'Hara has a very large and fine assert
ment of spectacles of every power, 0lso tn
London Smoked Spectacle for lCeak eyes.
