Drinks for the Sick.


The sick especially those Afflicted
With fever, often suffer from intense
thirst. The quenching of this without
iniuring the patient is matter which
requires knowledge and good Judgment.
DR.. II. H. Kane says that plain water,
when taken beyond certain amount, is
very apt 10 disorder the stomach and
bowels, especially In fevers, where much
auid and but little solid food is taken.
Enough water to quench the thirst
would certainly be enough, in most
cases, to disorder digestion, or rather
further disorder it, and so important is
the little that remains of this function
that we cannot afford to abuse it.
Small pieces of ice held in the mouth
and allowed to dissolve sometimes an
swer the purpose, but not IN the major
ity of cases.
Up to certain point, the action of
water taken internally, in fevers, IS ex-
cellent Aside from allaying irritation
by quencling thirst, it 1ushes the kid
neys, carrying off much of the etfete
material produced by the high tempera-
ture. -
It has been found that the addition of
certain substances to water greatly IN
creases its powers to quench thirst.
This is especially the case with acids.
One drachm of hydrochlOric acid added
to quart of water will give it sufficient
acidity to accomplish the desired pur-
pose, while at the same time it adds to
it's pleasantness. and sometimes relieves
nausea.
The use Of acids in fevers is highly
commended by-some authors, and this
is, 1 think, the best way In which to adj
minister them. The same amount of
sulphurous acid may. be added to quart
of water when the bowels are loose OF.
there is a tendency that way.
In these cases calculated barley-water
is pleasant and nourishing. The same
may be said of toast-water.
In constipation, oatmeal water may
be used In the same manner. A few
tamarinds added to a glass of water will
often assuage thirst and open the bow
els gently.
Theory and experience both show
that drinks made slightly bitter and
somewhat acid Stake thirst most effect
ually.
A weak infusion of cascarilla or orange
peel, acidulated slightly with hydro
chloric acid, was with Graves, of Dublin,
a favOrite thirst alaying drink for fever
Raspberry vinegar is a useful drink.
Sucking ice is very grateful.
Sweet fruits, although at first agree
able and refreshing, must be taken with
care and moderation, for they often give
rise to disagreeable taste, and are apt
to produce fatulence and diarrhea.

Musical jealousy,

A singular incident in natural history
occurred lately at Chester, England A
thrush, in happy state of freedom, was
trilling its notes in the orchard below
the walls, near the wishing steps, :"
when its music excited similar efforts
from Gagged bird of the same species,
which was suspended in front of the adj
jacent houses. These feathered song
sters persevered in raising their melo-
dies to higher and higher efforts, as If in
earnest rivalry, when suddenly the bird
among the trees darted from its perch
upon the wicker cage of its competitor,
broke the bars, entered it, and COM
menced an assault upon the musical
captive-the owner of which, hearing
the unusual noise, came out, took the
aggressor prisoner, and sold it into
bondage. The iu-tempered thrush had
therefore paid the penalty of sacrificing
its freedom to its jealousy This anec-
dote is a fact, and not written, as it
might seem to be, for the purpose of
pointing a moral against musical ieal-
ousies among human vocalists.-Dunl-
fries Herald.

American SnOhS.

Mr.. Alden, in the New York Times,
IS somewhat personal in his allusion to
American girls angling for titled hus-
bands. He tells us ''There are few
spectacles abroad more. notifying to
the better sort of Americans than to be
compelled to witness a daughter of the
Commonwealth angling for a foreign
nobleman, or, indeed, for a foreigner
of any kind. But the specimens of no.
bility who consent to be the husbands
of American girls are not as a rule,
those that confer credit on their rank.
They are very apt to be men of bad
habits, broken fortunes, selfish instincts,
willing to accept the fair republicans in
consideration of their handsome dowry.
They feel that what their brides want is
title, and, having given that, they fire.
quently give them nothing else. Love,
esteem, loyalty, chivalry, courtesy, are
not included these do not form part of
the agreement The number of our
women who have been married to Con
tinental titles and repented it bitterly is
larger than has been suspected.

A Cheerful Introduction.

At farewell banquet given to some
devoted explorers, who were setting out
for the wilds of Equatorial Africa, a
small, weakened, bilious, cadaverous-
looking man is presented to the assem-

marks:
'Fellow-scientists, let me introduce to
your favorable notice DIR. x, the only
white man who has been thoroughly ac-
climated in the pestiferous jungles into
which our daring explorers are about to
penetrate. He will now accompany them
in their arduous labors, minister to them
in their hours of pain and delirium, and
when he has paid them the last sad Of

A Rough Translation.

.
A young ladyImoviug in the most e1-
Lted social circles Of Galveston, alter
much toll and practice at the piano,
learned to play with considerable dexter
ity piece entitled 9 Picnic Polka. 1t
is something after the style of the cele-
brated ssBaftle of Prague The listener
can readily distinguish the roar OF the
artillery. the rattle of the musketIy, the
shouts of soldiers and the groans of the
diving. In thesS Picnic, Folks" the noise
of the wind among the trees and the
JOYOUS carols of the birds are reproduced,
the finale being athunder-shower which
disturbs the sylvan jewellers. 1t happens
that a country cousin is In town Just
now, and the young lady thought she
would play the piece to him and hear his
comment He is a plain, supplemented
youth, and although not very bright, Is
very appreciative. She told him what
the piece was and then proceeded to give
him the '4Picnic Polka The first notes
are rather slow and hesitating, the idea
sought to be conveyed being the solemn
solitude Of-forest, through which the
gentle zephyr mot heifer) signs. After
she got through with this preface, she
asked him if he did not almost imagine
himself IN lodge In some vast wilder
ness. He replied that he thought all
that slowness meant the delay In getting
OFF. Said he: tThere is always some
darned cuss who oversleeps himself and
keeps everybody else waiting"
She did not care to discuss the point
with the ignorant fellow, SO, to conceal
her emotions, she once more let herself
out on the piano. The woods were filed
with music. The hooking bird whistled
as if his throat would split, the cuckoo
filed the sylvan bowers with his repeated
cry. while ever and anon the moUnful
cooling of the dove interrupted the matin
song of the lark.
'FThere, now, I guess you know what
that sounds like? she said, as she
paused ---
"You mean that tootle, tootle, tootle,
chug, chug, chug? You just bet [ I'M
derstand that Many is the time at
picnic I've heard it from the mouth of
demijohn or the bunghole of beer-keg.
Her first impulse was to hurl the piano
stool at him, but it passed off, and once
more she went at the piano as if it was
the young mans head and was insured
for double its value. The thunder
growled, the lightning flashed Cfrom her
eyes) and the first heavy drops are heard
upon the leaves. She banged and mauled
the keys at fearful rate; peal after peal
of deafening thunder perturbed the
atmosphere and re-echOed In still louder
reverberations until it wound up in one
appalling clap as a grand finale. Then,
turning to the awe-struck youth, she
said: "I suppose you have heard some
thing like that before?"
"Yes, that's what the fellow with
linen pants said when he sat down on the
custard pie. "
The audience found himself alone, but
he picked up his hat and sauntered out
into the street, densely unconscious that
he had said anything out of the way.

A Peculiar Fitness for His Work.

Many Australian shepherds are CON
victs. A sheep farmer had ten, and he
used to describe their pecularities III an
amusing manner. One was a clergyman.
He was idle, sat down, and let the sheep
wander. Another was an English shep-
herd. He could not adapt himself to the
vagrant ways of colonial sheep. Another
was a murderer. He drove the sheep
too hard. The best of the whole ten was
a London pickpoeket. In the exercise
of his profession he had been observant,
cautious, and dexterous, taking constant
note of persons, peculiarities, and dress.
He had to estimate the value of his
victims, and to obtain his object with the
least disturbance to their sensibilities
He watched the sheep carefully, knew
what each had in its pocket, and did his
best to secure the prize for his employer.
Such is the power of personal attention
and discrimination.

The Romano. Of Exnl0ration.

Few nOvelists have so exciting a story
. to tell as that which Col. Prejevalsky
brings home with him. He has been
travelling In regions which no European
foot had trod before him. While the
threatened storm between Russia and
China was growing on the frontier, he
was pushing his way among the unknown
territories of High Asia persistently and
undismayed. He has wandered through
forests that are bright with the plumage
OF blue pheasants. He has explored the
Tibetan highlands, where the peaks are
said TO rise 10000 feet above Mont
Blanc, and the very rivers flow at levels
higher than the SUBMITS of all but the
Hottest of the Alps. Chinese potentates
have come within an ace of beheading
him. Tartar horsemen and Monaghan
brigands have fed before the unerring
aim of his rifle. Natives have spread
the legend that his eyes could pierce
fathoms deep into the earth and charm
out the precious stones which lay be-
meath and the best opinion that these
Q trlbesmen ever held of him was that he
was q EelI-disposed wizard who flew
about at night. And, after all this adj
venture, his hope of reaching the mys-
FERROUS star-spread sea still stands
for the present baffled. From the SHOWS
of the Tibetan mountains flow two
of the greatest rivers of the earth. i
the Yangtze and the Yellow river, the
main arteries of the Chinese plains
Even to the people who dwell upon |
them their sources are but vaguely |
known. They ARRIVE upon the horizon |
OF exact knowledge as mighty rushing |
waters break from the mountains. To |
humber origins Prejevalsky has been /
unable TO trace them. When he struck |
the Yellow river above Gomi he found /
1t already q broad stream, clearing its
way swiftly to the east through deep
rayine cut sharply out of the rocky table
land. AT frequent intervals as the ex-
plorer pushed along its banks with his
string Of mules and camels he was
checked by cross ravines, in the bottom
Of which tributaries rushed to the river.
= We would be marching over the I'M
broken plain" he says, "when all of a
sudden fearful chasm would threaten
us with yawning throat and the passage
would cost untold fatigue to men and
beasts" He found, In short. that tbe
project Of following up the Yellow river
was impossible. Nevertheless he stin
believes that the source may De reached
some other time by starting further
west, and there is little reason to be-
lievs thai Russia, which for two centu-
ries past has been distinguished for the
energy which she has devoted to the
work Of geographical exploration, will not
long allow his services TO remain unem-
