Hsv Water Should Be Cooked.

l must tell you the old story OF how the
late Charles Delmonico used to talk about
the new hot water cure. He said the Del.
monicos were the first to recommend II to
guests who complained Of having no ap-
petite. Take q cup Of hot water and
lemon, and you will feel better. was the
formula adopted, and tho cup Of hot
water and the lemon juice 10 it suke away
the insipidity. For this anti.bilious RENE
dy the caterers charged the price Of .
drink OF their best liquors twenty i've
cents or more--and it certainly WAS q
wiser way 10 spend small change than in
alcohol. Few people know how to cook
water" Charles uss to affirm. "The secret
is putting good, fresh water into neat
kettle, already quito warm, and setting
the water 70 boil quickly, and then taking
il right of to use 10 tea, coffee or other
drinks before it spoiled. To let it steam
and simmer and evsporate until the good
water u all in the atmosphere. and the
lime. iron and dregs onIy left 10 the kettle
bah! that il what makes great many
people sick, and il worse than no water at

recipe OF great and careful cock should
never forget how to cook water.

Your Ova Hand - tAs Plsugh

Mr.. b, . large planter In Ala
bama, was 20 successful in his cultivation
OF cotton o. TO excite universal attention
throughout the South. Certain wealthy
gentlemen in Mexico wrote TO him several
years ago, asking permission TO send their
sons 10 his plantations, ITO he placed un'
der his tuition aud to study bis methods. =
A few days later. seven or eight young
hidalgos arrived. delicate. refined
youths. carefully dressed. glovsd and
ringed.
Gentlemen, said the planter. aftsr vel
coming them. you have come to learn how
to raise cotton, so that you will never have
. failure 10 your crops9
Yes.
II is my theory that no man can intelli-
gently direct bis servants 10 do work
which he has never done himself. You
can never learn TO raise cotton on horse
back. will teach you my methods. Bat
the first step must BE- flannel shirts. and
your own hands on the plough. II yon
are not willing TO do this, you had better
return to Mexico.
The young men looked d each other in
dismsy. But the next morning they pre-
scntsd themselves chserfully In the nsld
ready for work, and set 10 ploughing With
will. They followed - actual laborers
every step 10 the cultivation Of the cotton
from its planting until il wss ready for
ths market They remained with Mr.. y
two years. st the end Of which time they
returned to Mexico, aud are now the most
successful growers Of cotton In that
country. They are all nrm friends Of
Mr. B.
He has the secret Of success. one Of
them said lately. No mattsr what
mans business may b., he must
learn II In detail before he can
control II. and the 6rst step is TO put bis
own hAad on the plough.
