Lemonade and Health.

The wholesome condition of the city
Is, we have little doubt. owing in n CON
siderable degree TO the moderate prices
this summer of fruit and vegetables. and
especially To the very low price oi
lemons. Physicians appreciate more and
more the beneficial effects of lime and
lemon acid on the human system, and
we have heard of one who recommended
six lemons n day. This number made
into lemonade in warm weather would
be very gratifying, and we doubt not very
wholesome. and IL il therefore to be
noticed, with special appreciation, that
good iced lemonade Is offered at the cor
ncrs OF the streets nj from two cents To
five cents glass, according 10 the

Dead and Her Eyes Pull OF Tears.

and which gave as reason for the act
jealousy and neglect. occur these words
of her landiady: There she lay. her
head on the pillow, and two shots in her
breast and one in her temple. In her
right hand was the pistol. Her ewes
were open and full Of tears. I never saw
such thing in a dead person." One of
the laws OF nature Is that we come into
the world fearless and 20 out of IL tear
less. When Dickens died tears poured
down his cheeks, which was no doubt
owing to n sudden expansion of the
lachrymal glands. The glands were dis
eased, perhaps. from over-lakor. In the
case Of poor Mrs. Cotton. bitter suffering
and almost constant weeping must have
diseased the glands which pour out
serum TO wash and moisten the balls of
the eyes. One passage In her melancholy
journal makes clear enough her ladylike
constituencies. 1t is dated the 18th of
October last: "l walked until was

a Great singer. Childhood.

4 writer in London Truth says saw
the other day in n newspaper = funny
sketch of the early life Of Christine
Nilsson. Here is the reality: On a re-
mote estate in Sweden lived n Baron
Ieheusen, whose wife was very musical.
On these Swedish estates the peasants
were. until within n few years. practi-
csllly serfI. and are called Bunds and
Torpare. The Bunde have about thirty
or forty acres. and have to perform ccr-
tain obligations 40 their landlords. such
as tilling his ground with their horses
or oxen, etc. The TOrpare are cottagcrs
with small plot Of ground. for which
they have to pay n certain amount of
ddyNCcrks. or days work, each week
Their food is obtained from the vegeta-
blcs on these plots. and from about two
shilliugs per week for the labors of their
free days. Nilsson's father was Tor
pare OF Baron Leheusen, and little Chris
tine used to run about barefooted. with
a short petticoat on. full Of holes. coming
down to her knees. Baroness Ieheusen
one day heard her singing one of the old
Swedish ditties. which have been handed
down from generation to generation
among the Bunde and Torparc. The
Baroness was struck with the sweetness
OF her voice. o. ordered her to come
up TO the chateau. There sire gave her
some elementary lessons in singing. and
then sent her to Paris, where she was
placed under the tuition of French
professor. After several years of assid
uous study she made her debut before
tho Parisians at remember rightly

money that she earned she built up the
cottage Of her old father. the Torpare.
