WHAT SHALL We DRINK.
COLD WATER

Cold water, swallowed during the
progress of digestion, intanly arrests it
and the process is not resumed until
the water has been there long enough
TO be warmed from the tempe rature at
which it was drank,to that of the stom-
ach; or from some forty degrees to a
hundred; to accomplish this the heat
must be abstraeted from the general
system chilling it. Strong robust per-
sons may not ieels this, but If a,man IN
feeble health drinks cold water at A
meal, at all largely, he raises from the
table chilly, and soon has fever, while
the stomach being kept that much long
er at work in digesting the food, loses
its yigor, the digestion is imperfect,
and the food becomes impure, thus Law
ing the foundation of disease. The in
evitable inference from these facts is.
that cold water is injurious to health, il
| taken at meals. Injurious to the per-
son in feeble health, if taken at all be-
yond few swallows at meal.
Therefore set.it down, as q clearly es-
tablished fact, that glass or more of
cold water, drank habitually at meals,
or soon after is pernicious practice,
even to the most healthy.
Injury is done in another manner:
water or any other fluid, dilutes the
gastric juice and thus weakens its DOW
er to dissolve the food. The amount of
gastric juice is not lessoned, but its
power is diminished by its dilution.
The finger will be scalded by dipping
1t into vessel OF boiling water; but II
an equal amount of cold water is added.
It may be thrust in with inpunity, al
Though there is as much heat III the
hpfnra hnt II &c Il
Any kind of fluid taken largely at n
meal, or soon after, is positively inju-
rious 20 the health.
A standing item OF advice to nv pa-
tients is-take but half glass of water
at a single meal, or a single cup of
weak coffee or tea, never Increasing |
the strength or quantity, and drink |
nothing within an hour after eating.

AN ENGLISH HUSBAND TO HIS ITALIAN
WIFE.

WIFE.
What constant jealousy gnaws your heart
1t tires me out day after day
Some little worry from nothing YOU start
Something's hidden in what 1 say,
Something's hidden in what l do;
That heart of yours is never still,
1t cannot be sure that 1 am true,
But spies and prizes about for i'll.
Frankly speak the whole OF my mind
Once for all-let it serve or not:
am not one of that snowy kind,
Fair outside with an inward rot.
l love you'll VIII not that suffice?
| No! must say it again and again,
And embroider il over With batteries,
Or all that l have said and done is vain
| Trust me! trust my simple love!
If you suspect me, that love will die,
1 cannot bear to be forced to prove
Every moment its honesty.
All! you say I'm so still and cold!
Well! / cannot be other than what am:
cannot squander my lump of gold
A could little tinsel sham.
You your jewels must always wear:
What is their use if they are not shown /?
L keep mine with miser's care,
And love to count them DER alone.
cannot abide that the world should observe
What it thinks is nothing to rae;
L was born with sense OF reserve
That is shocked by loves publicity.
You have richer heart, if you-will,
That scatters about its wide largess;
Your love keeping like mine would kill
All that you feel you must express.
Your love seeks for the light and sun.
And gives its perfume to every breeze;
The bees get its honey-every one
It's beauty whoever passes sees.
Mine, like well, is still and deep;
Cod, you say it is, like well;
But though like brook it will not leap
And joy for ever one tale to tell,
1t still is real; and when the year
Hath silenced the brook with its shallow
laugh,
The wells cool waters will still be clear,
Where those who trusted may surely quaff.
cannot. like Sarto, publish your face
In every Madonna, Sibyl, and Saint,
or praise to the world your beauty and
grace
In thousand sonnets sweet and faint,
But this is the heads work more than the
hearts;
Skill and genius they show, no doubt;
But the painter and poet may give TO their
arts
What they leave their lady, perhaps, with
out.
Trust me, dear, with your eyes SO black
And full of passion-these eyes of blue,
fhough your excess of expression they lack, |
Are not the less sincere and true.

With many pretty and gallant phrase,

But trust me and leave me my English

A MOMENT OF THOUGHT.

Forty years once seemed long and
weary pilgrimage to tread. 1t now
seems but step. And yet along the
way are broken shrines where thous-
and hopes have twisted into ashes; foot
prints sacred under their drifting dust;
green mouidS whose gre IN is fresh with
the watering OF tears; shadows even
Wlnch we could not forget. We will
garner the sunshine of those years, and
WIN chastened step and heavenward
nope push on towards the evening"
whose signal lights will sooE be seen
swinging where the waters are still,
and the storms never beat.

TO MAKE BOOTS DURABLE.

The durability of the soles of boots
and and shocsmay be greatly increased
by coating them with gum copal var
nish, which also have the effect of max
ing them waterproof. Four or five
coats should be given, allowing each
coat of varnish to dry before the sue
ceeding one is applied. Soles thus
treated possess twice the usual dura-
biiity, and generally outlast the best
uppers. The leather uppers of boots
or shoes may be rendered soft and wa
terproof by rubbing into them while
warm before the fire a mixture compos-
ed of four ounces Of hogs fat and one
ounce of rosin.

Our telegrsphic dispatches from Washington
report what had been so long anticipated, the
death Of General Rawlns. The sad event
occurred at four o'clock yesterday evening.
AS our readers are aware, President Grant
hurried from Saratoga in compliance with the
wish expressed by the dying Secretary, and
conveyed to him by telegraph, to see him
before he died. This last wish, unhappily,
could not be gratined, ss the Secretary had
expired before tho President could reach
WASHINGTON.

The Philadelphia Water Fawine-A Remedy.
In the great distress of the Philadelphia
people we have sent them one of our fire and
wrecking steamers to help pump water from
the Schuylkill into the Fairmount reservoir.
She can do it at the rate of eight thousand
gallons minute, and thus relieve the turbine
wheels for little time, which are exhaustng
the waters that might be supplied to the city
by working the machinery. II we had not two
fire steamers on hand here we could not sup
ply our Philadelphia brethren with the efficient
aid of the John Fuller. In addition to furnish
ing the steamer we can furnish some good ad-
vice to the managers of the water works in
Philadelphia, and that is to use steam engines
In pumping water into the reservoirs instead
of wasting thousands of gallons Of water on
their turbine wheels. There is an abundance
of the fluid in Philadelphia, but as long az
four-fifths or thereabouts of the Schuylkill
river is used in turning the machinery en-
ployed to keep the reservoirs full, and then is
permitted to run w0rthlessly to the sea,
water famine must be inevitable when dry
season comes. We are very kindly disposed
towards our sedate representatives of brotherly
love, but we cannot always spare them fro
steamer. 10 keep them in cold water on an
emergency like the present. And such mis-
fortune may come upon them at any time IL
they do not take our advice and economize
their water for city purposes, by using steam
engines for pumping it into the reservoirs.
Coal is cheap in Pennsylvania. Recent events
have proved to the residents Of Philadelphia
that it is cheaper than water

The Gorman Bishops In tho Roman
Council.

The Gornaan Bishops In tho Roman
Council.
The bierarchical assembIage Of German
bishops in Fulda, and the programme adopted
by these prelates as indicating the course
which they will observe in the Ecumenical
Council In Rome reported by our special cable
telegram yesterday, stand forth as subjects Of
very considerable importance when viewed with
reference to the politico-reigious condition ex-
listing in Europe. The German episcopacy ex-
presses complete fealty to the Holy See,
couched, however, in words Of citizen inde-
pendence and fraternal liberation. They keep,
consequently, well up with the spirit Of the
age, and will, therefore, assume very prom
inent part in the assemblage. This will be
dsagreeable to Napoleon-bad for Bonapart-
ism. Napoleon the First, in tho year 1909,
said che deemed 1t proper for the security of
his empire and Of his people to resume the
grant Of Charlemague," and subsequently, In
his interview with Pope Plus the Seventh, in
Rome, proposed that France should s'wield
the sword" and his Holiness ''carry the keys
Of St. Peter" The Pope described him as
comedian (consediante). Yet, nothwlthstand
ing this, Napoleon the Third has frequently en-
deavored to elaborate the ''idea" into reality,

ton of men and motives aud inaexible in WILL

ism. Hence it Is very probable that both In
and after the coming council the custody of
both the sword and the keys will be in the
hands of the Germans. Is It like the writing

Our summer Resorts-The Clearing On.

Our Summer Resorts-Tho Clearing Ont.
President Grant left Saratoga at six o'clock
on Sunday evening and hastened to the bed
side Of his dying friend, Secretary Rawlins, at
Washington. The sudden departure of the
President will be followed, not only by that Of
all the place-hunters who have dogged his
steps throughout the summer, but also by that
of all the other more or less disinterested
visitors 10 the once famous springs. The win
try weather which prevailed last week at Long
Branch has dispersed nearly all the 'summer
boarders" at the Continental the United States,
the Metropolitan and the Stetson House.
These houses closed yesterday for the season.
Cape May has been burned out. Newport
itself, and West Point, and all the other favo-
rite summer resorts Of New Workers will soon
be abandoned by them. Preparations are,
however, being already made for rendering
these resorts still more attractive next year.
Marble halls" are in some of them to replace
the vast wooden caravansaries which almost
temptingly invite the incendiary's torch. But
those who are 80 fortunate as to have enjoyed
the delightful social freedom Of the cottages at
the watering places of Virginia and Alabama,
as well as at Saratoga, will hardly believe that
any amount of architectural splendor can COM
pensate for the old fashioned privacy and COM
fort which will henceforth only recall pleasant
but mournful memories.
1t Is noteworthy that while during the past
season larger proportion than ever Of our
city population has been absent, their usual
summer resorts have been, with few excep-
tions, comparatively dull. The exorbitant
charges of landlords and the Indifference, not
to say the insolence, of some Of their subordi-
mates, have conspired to drive many of our
pleasure-seekers either to Europe or to
quiet, secluded hooks In our own coun-
try. Not few have availed themselves of
the recently opened Pacific Railway to try a
trip across the Continent. They have been
amply rewarded by witnessing the novel glo-
ries Of Rocky Mountain scenery. No doubt
they will be followed by yearly increasing
number of adventurous tourists, and it will
not be surprising il splendid hotels shall ere
long be built for the accommodation of sum-
mer visitors from the Atlantic cities and from
Europe to Pixies Peak, the Arkansas springs,
Salt Lake City, the wonderful cations Of Col
orado, the gold and silver districts in the
Sierra Nevada, the Yosemite valley and the
Pacific coast.

Napoleon to tho viceroy-Pence ON Any
Terms.

Napoleon to tho viceroy-Peace ON Any
We have the news from London that the
Khedive OF viceroy Of Egypt has promptly
telegraphed to Constantinople his assent to the
severe conditions of the Sultan, military,
financial and tributary, insisted on in the
recent ominous letter of the Sultan, thus
leaving no excuse for any hostile action on his
part. At the same time the Khedive was on
his way to the Sultan, to make assurance
doubly sure. This of itself would simply
signify that Ismail Pacha Is not in position
to defy the Sultan; but it means much more
in connection with what follows. 1t appears
that the French Minister at Constantinople had
telegraphed the main points Of the Sultan's
letter to the Khedive before he reached Alex
andria, at the same time urgently advising him
to submit to It's terms.
From this we perceive that Napoleon de-
sires peace for the present between the Sultan
and the Viceroy, however offensive to the
latter the terms may be. And why? Because,
it may be said Napoleon is apprehensive that
rupture between Turkey and Egypt at this
crisis would not only involve all the great
European Powers, but might be followed by
serious internal embarrassments in France.
All such conjectures, however, touching this
Egyptian question are trifes to Napoleon now
compared with the very delicate question Of
his health, and the crisis which his death may
bring upon France. It is doubtless in view
of this possible crisis that the Emperor
Of all things desires peace with his neighbors
and peace on the Eastern question. He wishes
to reserve his strength intact for the conflict
with the radical republicans of France and all
the factions opposed to the empire. Hence
this advice of the French Minister at Constan-
tinople to the Egyptian viceroy. Hence 'thc
empire is peace" because the internal condi-
ton Of France and the convulsion threatened
in certain event demand it. There has never
been an occasion in which peace in France
and peace in Europe depended so much upon
the slender thread of single life as they de-
pend upon the life of Napoleon at this crisis.

respectable and influential democratic papers
in the South casting aside their old preju-
dices and pronouneing unreservedly In
favor Of measures heretofore hated and
srr;;rned; while we see all these evidences Of
the intentions of the Southern democracy to
let the dead past bury its dead, to recognize
the positive fact Of the progress Of the age,
and to aim at the realization of the rich fruits
and blessings Of time of peace, the rewards
of frugality and industry, the Introduction of
new energies into the whole industrial system
of the South by the aid Of capital and labor
from the North and other more distant places
while we see these things, we say, it is both
shameful and mortifying to witness In the
democracy of the North a desire to revive q
spirit of hostility among the Southern democ-
racy against the North, to hold out to them
hollow prize in the shape of hope of over
turning the decisive national legislation of the
past four years.
1t will not be long, we dare say, before the
South, with it's expectant revenue of three
hundred millions this year from it's great
staples, will be in condition to dictate terms
to the democracy and all other parties in the
North. And when the Southern democracy
say they are in favor Of negro suffrage, now
that they cannot well get rid Of it-and from
experience thus far, they are more disposed to
like 1t than dislike It, believing that it will in
The end become an element Of strength to
themselves rather than to their enemies
when the Southern democracy say this, it is
manifest that any attempt on the part Of the
Northern democracy to make them change
their purpose, or to interfere with their plans,
Is both mischievous and dangerous. 1t Is even
In political circles that the radicals
begin to apprehend that they have caught
Tartar in this question of negro suffrage, and
hat, instead Of the enfranchised negroes in the
South clinging TO them like wax, they are
likely to drop them like hot potatoes and
homes and adhere to the interests of their old
masters. Therefore the rampant Northern
democracy should listen to the significant
voices as they come borne upon the genial
breezes of the Southern cline, beseeching
them not to disturb the South in its present
career towards unexampled physical and pecu-
mary prosperity, and eventually to reunion
with their Northern brethren that will re-
establish the power Of the democracy upon
q national foundation that will endure for half
a century. Meanwhile let the old democratic
keep on whirling until proper
Time for recoupling arrives, when. again
united in bonds Of steel, they can fly along
,nce more upon the same broad guage track
10 victory and glory.
AS matters now stand the game for the sue
,ession is in the hand of General Grant, and
he only hope for the Northern democracy lies
n q reunion with their advanced brethren Of
he South.
