Fattening Effect of Water.

Some observations made by writer
in the Medical and Surgical Reporter,
have led him to the conclusion that ex-
cessiye inhibition of very cold OF iced wa
ter, especially when one is very warm,
is not to be commended, there is reason
to believe that the unlimited use of pure
spring water at its natural temperature,
is not only very conducive to health, but
has en- actual tendency to favor fullness
and roundness of body. He further re-
marks that, wether this is the result of
a better action on the part of the diges-
tive, assimilative functions-owing to the
internal cleanliness or flushing of the hu-
man sewers produced by large quantities
of water-or whether water has some spe-
cific action in producing this fullness, is
not known, nor indeed does it signify,
since observation confirms as fact that
the free use Of water does have this effect.

Apropos to rings, the rings, the demand
for cOlOred diamonds and bright gems
has brought rings into popular favor to
such degree that it is nothing remark
able to see the slender digits of a society
lady with rings two or three deep. For
some years an excessive display of rings
has been considered vulgar and only a
diamond cluster or the wedding circlet
has been considered. good form. The
old-fashioned solid set canoes, seals and
large sapphire and emeralds, which be-
lOnged to a back generation and have
been assigned to the inner case of the
jewel box, are now being brought out and
either worn in their antique designs Or
reset in keeping with the more modern
jewellery worn by the young pOssessors
to whom they have fallen as heirloOms.
Fashion in its rotation has placed a val
ne On them which they had not before.
The bellies of half century ago wore
rings on every finger of both or either
hand.
As rings cannot be worn under gloves,
unless the wearer consents to wear aglOve
two or three sizes larger then she is &C
bustOmeo to. mittens are to be the fash
iOnable hand covering this season; not
the old fashioned red or gray hand knit
mitten of our mothers day but dainty
creations of silk of delicate or solid
shades. These mittens, which admit of
easy removal, are to be worn on all oc-
casions-in the street, at the opera, and
even for church. There is surely moth
ing more comfortable than mittens.
How much pleasanter it is in shaking
hands to feel the soft warm flesh without
