The leading medical journal of France
has published a pamphlet protesting
against the extravagant use of artificial
mineral waters, which, it sets forth, do
the double damage Of chilling the
stomach, thus laying the foundation for
gastric catarrh, while the the limestone
held in deposit in the carbonated waters
fnds its way to the kidneys and eventu-
ally produces Bright's disease. The
pamphlet also protests against ice-water
as a provocative of catarrh in the
stomach. 1t further says: Water
should be drank cool, but not iced, with
the juice of a quarter or half a lemon in
it. Mineral water should also be drank
with u dash of lemon. Water should al
ways be swallowed slowly. 1t is not the
stomach which is dry, but the moutl,
and throat. If you toss off a drink of
water you throw it through your mouth
and throat into your stomach, without
doing the former any good, while you
injure the latter by loading it with what
it does not require. Drink slowly, and
keep the water in your mouth for a mo-
ment when you begin. If you work in
a hot room in hot weather, tie a damp
cloth around your temples, and you will
not experience half the craving for
drink you otherwise would."-New Or
leans Times Democrat.

II LAW.

In theory, law is omnipotent, and the
mandates of the highest court in a state
constitute its supreme law. In fact,
however, the ultimate appeal is to the
people, and the laws they themselves have
framed must yield, in every case. to I'M
forseen considerations of public safety.
In California the supreme court construed
the law of streams in such a way as to
endanger the very existence Of whole
communities, but no attempt has been
made to carry its decision into effect.
The governor assembled the legislature
in order that a constitutional amendment
might as soon as possible be submitted at
a special election. Before the next regu-
lar session of the legislature thousands Of
families would be ruined and millions Of
property destroyed by the operation of an
undoubtedly correct construction of law.
In the meantime it is ignored. In the
words of the memorial of the members
elect of the legislature, upon which the
session was called, "An attempt to en-
force the decision Of the supreme court
might, and most probably would result in
bloodshed in many sections OF the state"
But no such attempt is made and the peo-
pie of a great state stand in a respectful
attitude Of contempt toward their highest
tribunal, until the fundamental law, which
is the highest expression of their will,
shall be amended to meet the exigencies
of the case. Thus, by a logical paradox,
even the defects of a written constitution
demonstrate its excellence, in the GER
tainty and ease with which they may,
when affecting the public welfare, be
repaired or removed. Nor has any
other occurrence of late years more clear
ly illustrated the truth of that great
maxim that the safety of the people is the
highest law.

There is a true story of n French sena-
tor, a very handsome man, who had a
large nose, Of which he was somewhat
proud. He was once riding in a train,
when a child, who was in the same
carriage, and who had watched the
statesman for some time with dilated
eyes, began to cry, as If its heart would
break. The mother could not console 1t.
The little one was afraid of the senator's
big nose, and the mother quietly ex-
planned that her child had just come
from the masquerade, where he had
been particularly excited by the display
of large noses.
She concluded by requesting the states
man to take off his nose, for you, 1
see" she explained, for some good rea-
son best known to yourself, are ~prolong-
ing the carnival" The senator protested
that he could not accommodate her, as
surfing the lady that his proboscis was
not a false nose, but his own. Touch
it." said he. The lady gave a pull at the
senator's nose, but it did not come off in
her hand. "A thousand pardons,r she
she said; "but pray-oh, pray, hide it
with your hatlr The distinguished
statesman complied with this singular
request, continued his journey with his
nose in his hat, and the child's screams
subsided.-Brooklyn Magazine.

The slums of London and Paris are
bad enough, but it appears that the
slums of Berlin are, IL possible. worse.
Das Echo has just published some inter
esting details on the subject. There are
about 40, 200 houses in the Prussian cap
ital. A small number are inhabited by
one or WI families, but the great major
ity are divided into several distinct lodg-
ings. Two thousand five hundred con-
tain from sixteen to twenty lodgings,
20, 1000 from twenty to thirty lodgings,
and 10000 over thirty lodgings each.
6eventy-five thousand of these lodgings
are composed OF one room only, and in
habited by N fewer than $1,000 per-
sons, which is an average of nearly four
souls per room; $4,000 other lodgings are
composed of two rooms, and occupied by
300, 900 inhabitants, while tho remaining
10000 lodgings are formed OF three
rooms, inhabited by 140,0 900 people.
These figures win suffice to show the
promiscuous way in which the masses OF
the Berlin population are lodged. The
houses in the poor quarters, often
five or six stories high. are built so close
to one another hat they are nearly to
tally devoid OF both air and light.-Pall
Mall Gazette.

DIR. Burt G. Wilder, the professor of
Physiology at Cornell, has succeeded in
q singular experiment with the brain of
q frog. The entire cerebrum was re-
moved from the head more han six
months ago, but the creature was still
alive and apparently well when the pro-
fessor exhibited it before the physicians
of the Tompkins County Medical society.
If undisturbed the frog lies for weeks
without motion, but it becomes active
when touched. When placed on n globe
that is slowly revolved it endeavors to
keep its position on top. 1t is fed by
forcing food into its throat. DIR. Wilder
will take it with him on his summer va

The assurance of the senators in voting

house by refusing to modify their amend.
ment-thus %endangering needed legisla
ton, the want Of which would clog the
machinery Of government seems to just.
ify the growing hostility toward the sen
ate. If the Objectionable provision had
applied TO both houses Of congress, it
might with more decency have been in
sisted on against the remonstrances of I'M
reluctant members OF the other house. In
fact, there is really more occasion for the
employment. by government, of clerks for
representatives than for senators, who
need such assistance less urgently in at
tending TO legitimate business and, as a
rule, they are more able to hire clerks for
themselves. The great objection to the
measure arises not from its p~rodigality or
redundance, but from the fact that it
recognizes an inequality between the two
bodies by seeming to confer a distinction
upon the members Of the senate. Pay
and emoluments indicate comparative
rank in every service. and thus the late
achievement Of the United States senat.
becomes a clear violation Of the spirit o
that constitution from which it derives a
its powers.

II SECRETARY LAMAR should deter
mine to employ his vacation in exploring
these unknown regions Of the West, his
visit could not fail to prove Of advantage
both to the government and TO the people,
and would, doubtless, be a source Of
individual pleasure to the distinguished
statesman himself. The vital interests OF
all the territories are intimately related to
his department, and a quiet inspection Of
the actual circumstances of the inhabitants
and ofthe country could not but produce
a beneficial result in disclosing the differ
ent conditions existing here from those
which obtain in the East. A weeks So
iourn in the arid region, for instance,
would throw a food OF light On many
matters not easily comprehensive without
actual observation. One thing is certain;
the coming OF the secretary would be hailed
with gladness by the people and would
strengthen their confidence in the inten-
tons and purposes of the ADMINISTRATION he
so ably represents.

Kaiser Williams Ways at Home-At tho
Opera-Receptions.
Emperor William does not smoke nor
take snuff. Neither does he wear spec
tacles. When reading or writing he uses
an eyeglass, although he does not wish
to admit that his sight is growing weak.
His majesty sleeps as soundly as the
healthiest Of youths, and never takes a
rest during the course of the day. He
always receives standing up in his salon,
after having changed his old uniform for
4 more correct one. Should he receive a
prince who has conferred on him the
purely honorary command OF a regiment
that bears his name, his majesty always
wears the uniform of that particular
regiment. In this respect there Is never
he slightest derogation from the rigid
rule of etiquette. Hence his majesty has
frequently to change his uniform three
or four times within an hour or two.
The emperor was always distinguished
ior his exquisite courtesy and %gallantry.
And now, although nearly 90 years of
ige, he bestows on the empress the most
delicate attentions. He loves to go and
spend an hour at the opera, which is
quite near, but he never disposes of his
lime during the evenings without first
consulting the empress. Every evening
hey take tea together, and the emperor is
never absent himself without having
irst acquainted the empress Of his inten-
lion and receiving her permission. 1t is
Turing dinner, which takes place at six
o'clock, that his majesty decides as to
low he shall spend the evening. These
linners are of the simplest kind, never
more than three courses, n the repast
rarely lasts more than half an hour.
When the emperor receives permission

A HISTORIAN bishop was one of the
lions on exhibition at Washington early
in President Tyler's administration.
Coming from a country of which we
knew little, and to a country to which
he and his countrymen were entire
Strangers, ignorant of everything apper-
tanning to our laws, customs, religion,
and, in fine, ever our name and lineage,
it was by no means strange that he
should excite a deep and lively interest
amongst the intelligent and learned of
our land. He received much kindness
and attention, and several parties were
made on his account. He pleased all,
and seemed pleased and gratified with
the hospitality extended to him. His
appearance was entirely oriental, but he
well sustained the high and holy char
acter of the office which he filled.
The bishop was about five feet ten
inches high, well proportioned. and wore
his beard long, with a curling moustache
on the upper lip. His head was covered
with a turban composed of n cashmere
shawl wound gracefully round his head
over a scarlet cap of n conical shape,
with a huge silk tassel falling over the
side. His outside garment was a black
silk gown with large flowing sleeves, and
underneath, not visible in front, was to
be seen a silk dress of a scarlet color, ex-
tending nearly as low as the bottom
of the outer dress. His complexion was
of a dark olive, with jet black eyes. but
when in repose or animated affording
them most agreeable and benevolent ex-
preston. He exhibited an antique Bible
in the Armenian language, written be-
fore the art of printing was known, on
parchment, and read and translated out
Of the same. 1t was a beautiful speci-
men Of chirography, and illustrated with
marginal notes in red ink. He gave
illustrations of the manner of writing
the Armenian language to all the young
ladies who desired his autograph. He
wrote from right to left, and used the
reed instead of the pen commonly used
with us. He had acquired a sufficient
knowledge of the English language to
speak it with considerable ase, and so
as to make himself understood Ben:

THE triple alliance spoken of by news
paper correspondents as threatening the
peace of Europe, and consequently of the
civilized world, refers to a supposed coali-
ton of Russia, Germany and Austria.
While not of themselves strong enough to
dominate the rest of Europe, those powers
would be more than a match for any union
which could possibly be formed among the
other states. A more extensive scheme
than the partition of Poland is probably
In view. and a more complete readiust-
ment of boundaries than that by which
the Holy Alliance changed the face of
