Ices After Dinner.

1t is very customary thing to eat
ices after dinner; those whose diges
ton is not strong should never touch
ices, and should avoid them most de-
terminedly. However hot the weather
may be, too sudden cooling process
Injuries weak digestion and creates a
peculiar feeling of weight in the reg
ion of the stomach. Ices do not en-
courage the flow of the gastric juice,
but discourage it, and where this flow
is already weak it must not be dimin-
ished. A great wrong is committed by
the constant consumption of iced and
very cold beverages in hot weather;
instead of really cooling, the reaction
creates an irritation which almost
amounts to inflammation of the walls of
the stomach and does not allow the nat.
ural flow of the secretion, which is nee
essary for perfect digestion. 1t is nee
essary 20 warn those who suffer from
weakened digestion against very cold
foods or drinks, because these bring
about peculiar suffering and dimin-
ished vitality. The temperature of the
stomach has to be maintainen, and any
sudden chill is fatal to it.

RESCUED FROM DEATH.

The following statement of William ]

A Boundary Line of the United States

The Northern boundary of this coun-
try Is marked by stone cairns, iron pill
lars, wood pillars, earth mounds and
timber posts. A stone cairn is seven
and half feet by eight feet; an earth
mound seven feet by fourteen feet; an
iron pillar seven feet high, eight inches
square at the bottom and four inches
at the top; timber posts five feet high
and eight inches square. There are
three hundred aud eighty-five of these
marks between the Lake of the Woods
and the base of the Rocky Mountains.
That portion of the boundary which lies
east and west of Red River Valley is
marked by cast-iron pillars at even-mile
intervals. The British place one every
two miles, and the United States one
between each British post. Our pillars
or markers were made at Detroit.
They are hollow iron castings, three
eighths OF an inch i'm thickness, i'm the
form of a truncated pyramid, eight
feet high, eight inches square at the
bottom, and four inches at the top las
tefore stated. They have at the top a
solid pyramidal cap, and at the bottom
an octagon fiange one inch in thickness
Upon the opposite faces are cast in let
tiers two inches high, the inscriptions:
Convention of London" and October
70, 1873" The inscriptions begin
about four feet six inches above the
base, and read upwards. The interiors
OF the hollow posts are filled with we'll
seasoned cedar posts, sawed to fit, and
securely spiked through spike-holes cast
in the pillars for the purpose. The
average weight of each pillar when
completed is eighty-five pounds. The
pillars are all set four feet in the
ground with their inscription faces to
the north and south, and the earth is
well settled and stamped about them.
For the wooden posts well-seasOned
logs are selected, and the portion above
the ground painted red, to prevent
swelling and shrinking. These posts
do very we'll, but the Indians cut them
down for fuel, and nothing but iron
will last very long. Where the line
crosses lakes, mountains of stones have
been built, the bases being in some
places eighteen feet under water and
the tops projecting eight feet above the
lakes surface at high water mark. In
forests the line is marked by telling
the timber red wide and clearing
away the underbrush. The work of
cutting through the timbered swamps
was very great, but it has been well
done, and the boundary distinctly mark
ed by the Commissioners, the whole
distance from Michigan to Alaska.

SUMMER.
o lady, leave thy silken thread

lady, leave thy silken thread
And fowerv tapestrie-
There's living roses on the bush,
Aud blossoms on the tree.
Sto0p where thou wilt, thy careless hand
some random bud will meet;
Thou canst not tread but thou wilt find
The daisy at thy feet.
IT'S like the birthday of the world,
When earth was born In bloom;
The light Is made OF many dyes
The air is all perfume;
There's CrimTon buds, and white and blue
The very rainbow showers
Have turned to blossom where they fell,
And sown the earth with flowers.
