The visitors are very much pleased with
their visit to this country, and invitations to

his ompaniops will appear at a number OF re-
ceptions which the Catholics OF this city are

ticipated iu by be leading dgntarles OF the
Catholic ChuIch inIhe u. 5. and Canada.

together with q a"re Deum, composed specially
for the OCCASION by the organist. This mass
was never before sung 10 this country The
sngers have been selected with great care from
among the professionals in and around New
York.
DRINKING WATER Dr. Hall is opposed to
the immoderate drinking OF water. He says:
The longer one puts off drinking water 10
the morning. especially in the summer, the
less he will require during the day; 1t much
is drauk during the forenoon, the thirst often
increases, and very unpleasant iollnesS is
observed, 10 addition to metallic taste in the
mouth.
The less man drinks the better for him. be-
yond moderate amount The more water
man drinks the more strength he has to expend
in getting rid of il, for all the fluid taken into
the system must he carried OUT and as there is
but little 0ourislnent 10 water, tea coffee, beer
and the like, more strength is expened 10 carry
lug them out of the system than they lmpart
to it, The more mau drinks the more he must
pcrspire, either by lungs or through the skin;
the more he perSpres the more carbon is taken
from the system; but this Cal bon is necessary for
nutrition, hence the less man is nourlshed the
less strength he has.
Drinking water largely dimiuishes the
strength iu two ways, aud yet many are under
the impression that the more water swallowed
the more thorough is the system washed out.
Thus, the less We drink at meals the better for

Many persons have fallen into the practice
of drinking several glasses of cold water, or
several cups of hot tea or coffee, at meals:
out of mere habit all such will be greatly
bcue6ted by breaking it up at once ; 1t may be
very well TO drirk a little at each meal, and,
perhaps, it will be found that iD all cases it is
much better to take single cup OF hot tea At
each meal than glass Of cold water, however
pure.
