CONE AND SEE ME-. Never take
" Come and see me " as phrase meant
in earnest, unless it is accompanied with
date. Such an invitation amounts to
nothing at all. If lady or gentleman
desire your company. he or she will APP
point time for your visit. Call on me
when you can make it convenient ;""Drop
in as you are passing;" Make us visit
whenever you have an hour or two to
spare" are social antiquities by which
men and women of the world understand
that they are not expected to do the thing
requested. When people wish to be
cheaply polite, there is nothing like this
sort of vagueness. The complimentary
small change of society must always be
taken at large discount. 1t is never
worth its face, nor anything like it. Yet
it is II convenient medium Of exchange and
heavy debts of gratitude that ought to be
requlted in better coin. are often paid with
it. People who have more polish than
principle use it lavishly-plain. blunt,
honest men, sparingly,or not at all. Who
ever makes friendly visit to fashona-
bic house on the strength of mere Come
and see me, will very often find that the
family circle he has dropped into by re-
quest is as uncongenial rs the Arctic cir
Gle, and he will probably leave it with a
chilly feeling that will prevent him from
venturing into the same high latitude
again. But when y whole-souled man
whom you know to be your friend, grasps
you vigorously by the hand and says,
=" Come home and dine with me to-day
dinner on the table at five o'clock-be sure
to come, shall expect YOU" you can take
it as certain that your presence is warmly
desired. 1t is pleasant always to make
or receive visit from a friend, but nod
on the street is all sufficient from fash
ionable acquaintance.

OWING TO TIE WEATHEG-A big

Hall market, too sick to move, and too
discouraged to care what became of him.
Two or three of the mother market women
fixed him up doses Of pepper, and when
he was little better one of them said to
him:

Ice WATER.-A prominent western
paper has recently published a series of
articles pointing out the evil effects of ice
water and condemning its use in the
strongest terms. In one of its articles it
says:
A man who, in II state of perspiration,
with the sweat oozing from every pore in
his skin, should suddenly strip off his
clothing and shut himself up in II refriger-
ator, would be set down in public estima-
ton as natural fool, who defieI Provi-
dcnce itself 10 save him from death. Such
u thing actually happened in this city
few years ago, and the man was taken off
of his ice box dead us II herring and stiff
as pikestaff.
Ice water arrests digestion if it does
not absolutely drive out all animal heat,
and it is not resumed until the water is
raised to the temperature required to
carry it on.
Habitual ice water drinkers are usually
very flabby about the region of the stom-
ach. They complain that their food lies
heavy on that patient organ. They TASTE
their dinner hours after it is bolted. They
cultivate the use of stimulants to aid
digestion. If they are intelligent they
read up on food and what the Psychologist
has to say about it-how long it takes
cabbage and pork and beef and potatoes
and other meats and esculents to go
through the process of assimilation. They
roar at new bread and hot cakes and fried
meat, imagining these to have been the
cause of their maladics.
But the ice water goes down all the
same. and finally friends are called in to
take farewell look at one whom mys-
FERROUS providence has called to cline
where, so far as is known. ice water is
not used. The number of immortal beings
who go hence to return no more on
account of an injudicious use of ice water
can hardly be estimated.
The article proceeds to show that in
numberless cases fine teeth are total des-
troyed by its use. 1t chills the teeth and
cracks the enamel, then follows rapid
decay and frequent visits to the office of
the dentist.
