Three Meals q Day Necessary.
Boston Transcript.

Boston transcript.
An English writer gives some much
needed advice as to the times and fire.
quency of meals. In his opinion the
present usual practice of three meals a
day has good reason, as well as Gus
tom, in its favor. When work of any
kind is being done, whether mental
or bodily, the intervals between taking
food should not be so long as to entail
demands on the system when its store
for the generation of force is exhaust
ed. An ordinary full meal, in the
case of healthy man, is generally
considered to have been completely
digested and to have passed out of the
stomach in four hours. A period OF
rest should then be granted to the
stomach. Assuming that two hours
are allowed for this, the interval be-
tween one meal and another would be
six hours; and this accords with the
experiences of most men. During
rest and sleep there is less waste going
on, and especially during sleep there
is a greatly diminished activity of all
the functions of the body. The inter-
val, therefore, between the last meal
of one day and the first of the next
may be longer, as it generally is, than
between the several day meals. AS
suming that breakfast be taken about
s or 9 o'clock, there should be a mid
day meal about l or 2. The charac-
ter of this must depend on the nature
of the days occupation and the con-
venience OF the individual. With
women and children this is generally
their hungry time, and the midday
repast, whether called luncheon or
dinner. is the chief meal. SO is it
with the middle and laboring classes,
for the most part. But for merchants
professional men and others, whose
occupations take them from home all
the day, this is inconvenient, and
moreover, it is not found conducive to
health or comfort to take a full meal
in the midst of the days work There
can. however, be no doubt that much
evil arises from attempting to 60
through the day without food, and
then with exhausted powers sitting
down to a hearty meal. Something
of light, easily digestible, but sus-
tanning character, should be taken
toward l or 2 o'clock.

ROUGH ON PLUMBERS
An Invention that Promises to
Greatly Curtail Their Bust
ness.

New York Mail;
"Talk about bringing the plumbers
to terms" said patent broker to a
Mail and Express reporter this morn
ing, there's an invention that will
knock spots out of the whole tribe"
The reporter was shown the model
of a house, upon the rear of which
had been fixed the Jay automatic an
ti-freezing valve. The attachment is
q simple contrivance, consisting of an
expansion rod connected with waste
valve in the water pipe in such man.
ner that when the rod contracts by
cold the valve is opened and the waste
established, and when the rod expands
the valve is closed and the waste
ceases.
"This invention" said Mr.. T. Sar-
ony-Lampert, of No. 307 East Eighty
sixth street, sis one of great public
Importance. One of the annoyances
of the winter season is the freezing of
the water pipes. Then the damage
caused by an overflow is often some.
thing serious. Why. many houses
pay from $40 to $500 a year for
plumbing and house repairs caused
by frozen pipes. This business is the
plumbers stronghold. and when they
once get into house there is no get
ting rid of them"
as this Jay invention an absolute
protection against the freezing of
water pipes ?"
"Most certainly. The thing is
based upon the non-freezing principle
of running water Now, through the
pipes to be protected, this attachment
regulates, automatically, current Of
water kept circulating. The rod is
exquisitely adjusted, so that it will
open the valve at the highest temper
allure at which there is danger of the
water freezing in the pipes"
"Has any exact calculation of the
quantity of water wasted by this sys.
been made ?"
''Not yet, but it is safe to say that
the water waste is reduced to mini
mum. You seae the freezing of the
water is prevented both by the mo-
ton established in it when the waste
is opened, and by the displacement of
the water in the pipes by the warmer
water from the main. Then the SER
vice in the pipe is never interrupted.
while there is only a mere, nominal
waste of water.
The city authorities have given
permission to the inventor to place
one of his attachments on a public
hydrant, in order to demonstrate the
great saving of water they insure.

Christened In a Car.

New York Mail and Express,
A crowded Third avenue car was
going up town yesterday afternoon
when a lady and gentleman
with baby in his arms
got aboard at Canal street. The gen.
tleman was given a seat, and almost
instantly the infant gave vent to
screams suggestive of choice or a
cruel pin. The father tried in vain to
quiet the child, and finally handed it
over to the mother.
"Tum to its muddy !" said she,
taking the child. "Nassy papa to
tease baby. Sail mamma whip papa.

The child was not to be quieted by

from the other end of the car and
said to the poor, excited mother ;:
my dear child, l am not mother,
but an old maid; still | think the
baby wants drink of water, nothing
more"
The car had just reached Cooper
institute and hearing the old maids
remarks, the father jumped off the
car and snatched up tin dipper of
oatmeal water there on hand for the
use of the drivers and conductors,
and gave the baby a drink. Instant

Cuts

Adhesive plaster ought to be the
best procurable, and instead of keep
ing it in a roll in the drawer, it ought
to be cut up into strips of different
breadths. 1t is thus ready for i'm.
mediate use, and there is no chance of
it sticking together as it does if kept
In bulk. When it is necessary to use
this plaster to keep the edges of a
wound together, we must be careful
first and foremost, to see that the
wound is perfectly clean, and no sand
glass, or grit in it, which would cause
fostering and prevent it from healing.
Never cover a wound wholly up with
piece of plaster whatever be its
size use long narrow strips. Warm
the plaster by holding the back of it
against can of boiling water for a
few seconds, then apply it across the
wound, leaving a small space between
each strip to give exit to the lymph.
Remember that sticking plaster has
no healing action In itself the bene-
fits derived from its use are of a pure
ly mechanical nature. Clean cuts
are better bound up with the blood.
simply with linen rag, for sticking
plaster is no use until the bleeding
stops. In cases of scalp wounds the
hair must be shaved off before the
plaster is applied.
