Drinking Water.

There is no doubt that most people
drink too much water, especially dur
ing the hot season, and many case
of sickness, many death, if the truth
were know, could be traced to this
cause. The following views of DR..
Hall on this matter are especially sea-
sonable now, when the increasing heat
begins to increase the amount of water
drank:
'sThe longer one puts off drinking
water in the morning, especially in the
summer, the less he will require
through the day; if much is drank
through the forenoon the thirst often
increases, and a very unpleasant full
ness is observed in addition to metal
lie taste in the mouth. The less man
drinks the better for him, beyond a
moderate amount. The more water
man drinks the more strength he
has to expeud in getting rid of it, for
all the fluid taken in the system must
be carried out, as there is bat little
nourishment in water, tea. coffee, beer
and the like. More strength is ex-
pended in carrying them out of the sys
tenn than they impart to it. The more
he drinks the more he must perspire,
either by the lungs or through the skin;
the more he perspires the more carbon
is taken from the system, but this car
bon is necessary to nutrition, hence
the less a man is nourished the less
strength he has. Drinking water
largely diminishes the strength in two
ways, and yet many are under the
impression that the more water swal-
lowed the more thoroughly is the sys
tenn "washed out" Thus, the less we
drink at meals the better for us. If
the amount were limited to single
cup of tea or hot milk and water at
each meal, an immeasurable good
would result to us all. Many persons
have fallen into the habit OF drinking
several glasses of cold water, or sew
eral cups of hot tea or coffee at meals.
All such will be greatly benefited by
breaking it up at once. 1t may be
very well to drink a little at each
meal, and perhaps it will be found
that in all cases it is much better to
take single cup of hot tea at each
than a glass of cold water, however
pure"

LADIES' WAISTS. The vaguely-de
fined and misty person who casts his
moist shadow upon "the Nebulous
Department of the GALAXY Magazine
in the July number, treats his readers
to some very consolatory discussions
upon the expansion and contraction
of ladies' waists, as Influenced by
fashion. The delicacy with which
this interesting topic is treated is well
illustrated by the following paragraph:
That which charmed the eyes of their
male admirers frightened them; and it
being decided that the catching back
of the skirt should continue to be
the fashion, as those lines around
which the skirt is caught back can
not be compressed, Nature---Divine
Goddess--be thanked therefor, ETC.,
etc. The editor speaks feelingly, and
it is evident that the subject could not
be better handled.

T He HER AID.
SATURDAY NIGHT.

Placing the little hats all in row,
Ready for church on the morrow. you know:
Washing wee faces and little black fists,
Getting them ready and fit to be kissed;
Putting them into clean garments and white;
That is what mothers are doing tonight.
Spying ont holes it the little worn hose,
Laying by shoes that are worn thro' the toes,
Looking for garments faded and thin
Who but mother knows where TO beginf
Changing a button to make it look right
That is what mothers are doing tonight.
Calling the little ones alp round her chair,
Hearing them lisp forth their soft evening prayer
Telling them stories of Jesus OF old,
Who loves to gather the lambs OF his fold;
Watching they listen with childish delight
That is what mothers are deing ts-night.
Creeping so softly to take a last peep,
After the little ones all asleep
Anxious to know if the children are warm,
Tucking the blankets round each little form
Kissing each little face. rosy and bright
That is what mothers do night after night.
Kneeling down gently beside the white bed,
Lowly and meekly she bows down her head,
Praying as only a mother can pray,
God guide and keep them from going astray.
