Hot Water TO Drink.
W. Il. RAND.
SHELBURN, May, 1888.

A physician writes in the "World OF
Science some very interesting things re-
garding what to drink. The habit of
bringing rong tea or black coffee direct.
ly after dinner is especially bad, ard GER
tainly interfeies with digestion. At
breakfast-time. healthy man has all his
sleep III him, and surely it is then un-
scientific for him to intiict upon his sys-
tenn strong tea or coffee. At tea time tea
or coffee may well be INDUCED in moder-
ately.
The bulk of the days work is done the
body not only wants rinsing out, but
fatigue is felt, which may well be count
eracted by the use of mild stimulant
such us tea, and bedtime is not vet SO
near that sleep is thereby interfered with.
Most nations that drink coffee largely
get sallow skin, and | am inclined
TO think that the carbonaceous matter OF
the roasted coffee, when so largely and
frequently taken, may perhaps have
something to do with this. For hard
working people who are not corpulent
l should suggest the thick-hake cocoa as
the healthiest and most nutritious break
fast beverage.
For those who do not want fatteninc
drinks, and who often cannot digest CO.
Goa, should say drink hot water Mt
breakfast. Those who dine late and make
their dinner their main meal need dill
uent drink an hour or two afterwarl and
If they drink tea it keeps them awake or
makes them irritable and nervous. | find
for myself that dining so idly ms | am
Obliged to do when l have dope my work
T.30 p. NJ. J. and often needing to work
from to IL, . tumbler of hot water
brought into my study or laboratory is
the best and wholesomest drink, and af-
ter few evenings it will be as much rel
ished as the usual draught of tea.
The hot water assists to complete the
digestion OF residual food, it acts upon
the kidneys, and rinses out the effete
matters and thus will be found to wake
one up sufficiently, and neither to injure
Ihe stomach nor to keep the brain awake
after bedtime. In cold weather warm
water Is by far the best drink at dinner
''me, and in hot weather draught of
warm water is faa wholesomer and more
cooling than cold or iced water.

In his piece on Mary Magdalen, whicl
bears the title of "The Weeper," occurs
the following remarkable etfusion on the
eyes of the Magdalen:
Two walking baths, two weeping motions.
Portable ana c0npendious oceans.
The great poem of this celebrated muse,
entitled Wishes to His Supposed Mis-.
tress, has the following charming refer
ence to his godly bride :
Whoe'er she be
Ihat not Impossible she,
ina shall command my heart and ne:
Where'er she lie,
Locked up from mortal eye,
IN shauy leaves OF destiny.

branches of the trees, and shaking it down
In showers. One intensely dark night ]
was riding home on this horse. 1 came
through n road with wire fence on each
side, two miles in length, AMI when had
got nearly to the end of this road my
horse suddenly stopped short, uttering n
succession of loud terrified snorts l
could see nothing but the intense black
ness OF the night before me, and tried to
encourage him to go on. Touching him
on the neck. l found his hair wet with the
sudden profuse sweat of extreme fear.
The whip made no impression on him.
lie continued to back away, his eyes ap-
parently fixed on some object of horror
Just before him, while he trembled in such
degree that / was shaken in the saddle.
He attempted several times to wheel
round and run away, but was deter
mined not to yield to him, and continued
the contest. Suddenly, when WIS be-
ginning to despair of getting homo by
that road, he sprang forward, and regu-
iarly charged the Ito mel invisible object
before him, and another moment, when
he had apparently passed it, taking the
bit between his teeth he almost flew over
the ground, never pausing till he brought
me to my own door.
When l dismounted his terror seemed
gone, but he hung his head in detected
manner, like horse that has been under
the saddle all day. l have never Witness
ed another such incident of almost mad |
dening fear. His terror and apprehen-
sion were like what we can imagine man
experiencing at sight of ghost in some
dark, solitary place. Yet he did not for
cibly carry me away from it, MS he might
so easily have done; but, finding himself
by a mature superior to his
own, " he preferred to face it. 1 have
never met in the dog more striking ex-
lmple of this noblest kind of brute cour-
'ge. The incident did not impress me
'ery much at the moment, but when ]
anne to reflect that my sight was mere
blindness compared with that of my horse,
md that it was not likely that his imagin-
ition clothed any familiar natural object
With fantastic terrors, it certainly did i'm
'ress me very deeply.

On the stock exchange the market was
weak and unsettled. The accumulation of
unfavorable reports from Minnesota and
Wisconsin and fears that the great corn
states had suffered severely also frightened
some holders of stocks, while large offer

was exaggerated, stocks revived. There
was some important buying of Northwest

ROCHESTER,, Minn., Sept. 1O.-Monday
morning dawned sombre and gray, with
the heavens overcast. Dark threatening
clouds, frequent showers of rain passed
over, and on the whole the outlook: seemed
very unfavorable. Notwithstanding the
unpropitious weather the entry clerks at
the fair grounds were kept busy during
the entire day. Present indications are
that the list of entries will equal that of
last year. The disastrous cyclone has in
no way interfered with the arrangements
of the fair management nor the enthusi
asm of all those connected with it. The
entertainment to-day consisted entirely of
games for the amusement of the children.
The amphitheatre was we'll filled with little
folks, who made the great building ring
with laughter, created at the
expense of boys participating
the numerous games. The potato
race came first. The prizes we're arded
as follows: Will Zilor, first, $1.50: Ed Nal
colin, second, ST.; Chas. Shaw, third, so cts; !;
There were two contestants in the pony
race, Saul Hargeshumer and R. Chadhourn,
the former winning in two straight heats.
The winners in the boys foot T ace we're as fol-
lows: Ed. Malcolm, first so; A.Anderson,
second prize, $1.00;J. Jessuf, third, prize
so cents. The biscuit contest was the
smart amusing feature of the days fes-
tivties. The'champion biscuit eater proved
to be Ed Marly, who was awarded the first
prize of $3.50. In the girls, foot race were
as follows: secs Dora Nye, first,
$1.5o; Edith Kiefer, second, 81; Gertie
Durrette, third, fifty cents. The three
prizes in tho Backward race were awarded
to Albert Shaw; Frank Crocker and VIII
Phelps, respectively. ei - i..e.
The Rochester bicycle club appeared in

morrow's entertainment will be the great
