Diet in hot weather.
Medical Record.

heuleal ENecOrus e
The debilitating effects of prolonged high
temperature are nowhere more markedly
exhibited than in the gastrotintestinal tract.
In infants and young children the great
frequency of diarrh@a in summer, is not
only due to Preventative changes wrought
in their food, but to the directly depress-
ing effects of the heat upon their susceptible
nervous systems. The two elements of
improper food and lowered nervous vitality
must be considered by physicians in adults
as well as in children, although the former
do not suffer so seriously, or fatally, as the
latter. What is the best kind of nourish-
ment with which to tax the weakened diges-
tive organs during heated period The
answer is 'trite, and can frequently be left
to the common-sense of the patient.
Unfortunately, however, as every physician
knows to his sorrow, the possession of
common-sense in regard to eating and drink
ing is entirely lacking in many individuals.
To such persons very explicit directions are
necessary as to diet. In reference to en-
vironment, the>prolonged heat of summer
affords much the same conditions as obtain
in the tropics, where the inhabitants instinc-
lively subsist largely upon vegetables, con-
sisting in a great degree of proximate
principles found in the class of carbo-hy-
regions continue materially upon the same
diet in summer as in winter, and at a time
when the atmospheric conditions not only
weaken the nervous mechanism of digestion,
but curtall physical activity, use the
nitrogenous diet that they craved in cool
weather, and when taking abundant ex-
ercise.
To force albuminous foods in summer
is but to surcharge the system
with effete products, and overtax the
excretory organs in their elimination. Meats
and particularly fats, may then be allowed
to occupy subsidiary place in the dietary,
while large variety Of fresh vegetables
will be more grateful to the heated body.
Different fruits, especially those more or less
acid, will likewise prove agreeable as well
as healthful. Fresh fish may be reiished
when meats fail to tempt. In reference to
drinks, buttermilk and kumyss may bC
noted as both refreshing and nourishing
and will frequently agree with a patient
when ordinary cow milk causes indigestion
The small amount of alcohol and slightly
acid taste developed in kumyss will often
make it acceptable to stomach that reject
solid food. Indeed, it would be much bette
for persons overheated to take such drink
as are here mentioned, than to try from
sense of duty to force solids into stomach
that refuses to digest. While ice-water i
refreshing and cooling, the enormous quan
titles indiscriminately consumed oanno
fail te do harm. A mouthful slowly swaI
lowed will be found more satisfactory tina
gobletful hastily drained. Alcohol
drinks had better be very sparing'y indulge

The Use of Lemons Bear in mind that
lemons are the most useful huit in domestic
economy. The juice OF halfa lemon in a
teacup of strong black coffee, without sugar,
will often cure sick headache. Lemon
juice and salt will remove ordinary iron
rust. If tho hands are stained there is
nothing that will romove II stains so well
as lemons. Cut lemon in half and apply
the cut susface as if it were soap. Lemon
juice is also renedy for rhcu ratism and
for the so-calIed bl!liousness of spring. In
the latter case, take the juice of lemon
diluted in little water, without sugar, be-
fore breakfast. Lemon juice with sugar
mixed very thick and taken at intervals
relieves coughs. 1t must be very acid as
well as sweet. A pearl button dissolved
in the juice of one lemon, which will take
three or four days, and applied frequently tc
warts, will remove them,

"India-R a-Rubber- CIads."

We are familiar with the old saying
There's nothing like er."-The Lon
don World, however, has found a rival for it,
and ruthlessly trenches upon tue ancient
prerogatives of that ttime-honored and tough
product of the tanners art by vaunting the
greater possibilities of India-rnbber under
the following novel and important adapta-
tion of its qualities:
"India-rubber-cl are to be tried in

The flrst series of experiments will be un-
dergone by the Resistance, which is to be
coated with India-rubber to considerable
thickness, and shot and shell will be fired al

Grants Resting Place.

II has been decided that General Grant
shall be buried in Riverside Park, New
York
The intention appears to be to erect an
imposing column over his remains of such
proportions and magnificence as will afford
future generations some idea Of the estima-
tion in which the dead chieftain was held
by his contemporaries. The idea gathered
is that it will represent in this country what
the Column Yendome did for Napoleon in
Paris, or Nelson's and Wellington's monu-
ments in England. A tall monumental pill
lar of suitable proportions and beauty
would probably be more appropriate than
that Of the mausoeum type of memor-
ial.
The question of his resting place has given
rise to little friendly jealousy among diff
ferent cities. Washington and Philadelphia
have claims for the honor equal with New
OK. At ntsb tnougnt Ihe hatural sug-
gestion would be either at the National
Cemetery or the Soldiers Home. Again,
no community has evinced more personal
affection for General Grant than the people
of our neighboring city, Philadelphia. Its
citizens had strong hopes that the great
General's remains would be left to their So.
licitous care. The family's decision in
favor of New York is undoubtedly disap.
pointment, and to none among them more

Your Boys Companions.

See that your boys have good associates.
A mother is quick to observe; she can judge
the kind Of companions her boys have by
their behavior in the house when the boys
bring them home, and if she knows they
are not all she would wish will advise and
admonish they are not good. Better let
them have a few good companions than
many who are ''hail fellows well met" A
father has more opportunities for observing
the outside life of the boys than the mother,
and should spare a few minutes of his sur
plus time to inquire into the outside life Of
his boys just entering into life. A well reg
ulated household depends as much upon the
conduct of tile father as of the mother.
Command your children's respect from their
infancy and you will always have it through
life. -...

Offensive Partisanship.

The Bangor Commercial thinks the ''or-
gans" should establish 'sdef finite line of
treatment in regard to President-e'ect
Cleveland's civil service reform letter. The
difficulty which the "organs''-not only the
Republican organs but the Democratic or
gans as well-have to contend with in treat
ing the letter referred 10 and which makes
their comments varied arises from the un-
certainty as to the construction 10 be put
upon The phrase ''offensiye partisans.''
Gov. Cleveland says "offensive partisaus''
are to be removed. What constitutes, or
rather what will constitute, an offensive
partisan" after the Pfesident-eIect is inaug-
uraied and the Every hungry and very this
ty'' have rallied around him, becomes there
fore very Interesting as well as important
question. The more the phrase is stud ed
the more it looks as if it had been selected
on account of its great elasticity.
There are undoubtedly different degrees
of offensiveuess in partissnship, but pure
ly inoffensive partisanship is a pretty diff
cult thing to fiud. So that If Gov Cleve-
land proposes to allow 10 remain in office
none but Republican officeholders who have
proved themselves inoffensive partisans a
large percentage of the very hungry and
very thirsty will be filled.
The inventor of the cry "Turn the rascals
ont'' meant it should cover every Republi-
can ofice-holder and the Democratic party
eagerly adopted it in this spirit. Il is to be
hoped for the good of the public service that
Gov Clevelana's offensive partisan is not
going TO cover SO much ground as Mr..
Charles A. Dana's "rascalo was intended to.

Abner Cohl1rn-

The announcement of the death of Abner
Cobuln which appears elsewhere will be
read by every citizen of this State with deep
regret, and to very many who had never
even seen him, it will bring feelings closely
akin to those which follow a personal be-
reayement. By his decease the State loses
not merely man of large capacity for pub
lie affairs and of great sagscity in business
enterprises. 1t loses public benefactor.
Gov. Coburn used the great wealth which
he acquired by s own industry and sagaci-
ty for the benefit of his fellow men. Scat
tered all over the State are men and women
who have been blessed by his benefactions
and who will cherish his memory for the
good he has done Them. No cause which
he deemed worthy ever appealed to
his benevolence ia vain. His gifts to
educational institutions were almost prince
~ in their extent and oft repeated
The struggling church and the charitable
institution striving to do good never went
away from his door empty handed He
scattered bis bounty on every hand. All
that he demanded was that it should not be
misused.
Ills munifcence has builded for him a
monument more enduring than brass, and
his memory will live in the hearts of his
fellow citizens as long as they cherish the
causes which he did SO MICH to promote.

The Argus seems inclined to fnd fault
with Gov. Robe for reappointng Judge
Danforth to the Supreme bench instead of
Democrat. 1t unfavorably contrasts his
actions in this respect with that of Gov.
Hale of New Hampshire, who has recent
ly appointed Col. Harry Bingham, Demo-
crat, to the Supreme bench of that state. II
the Argus had taken the trouble to make
some inquiries it would have ascertained
that the reappointment of Judge Danforth
was quite generally asked for by the bar of
the state; not only by the Republican mem
bers of it, but the Democratic members as
well. All the prominent lawyers of Port
land petitioned Gov. Robe in favor of
Judge Danforth's reappointment. The
Argus therefore, without knowing it per-
haps, is really complaining because Gov.
Robe did not reject the advice of Democratic
lawyers.
