Fat PeoDle and Fluids.

The question whether water is fattening
or otherwise has been much discussed.
Formerly it was generally asserted that the
victims of obesity should mortify the flesh
and reduce the fat by abstaining as much
as possible from liquids and remaining in
continual state of thirst. Latterly the op-
poSite has been affirmed, and / am told
that the reduction of weight is one of the
results claimed by the hot-water cure,
provided always the water is taken as hot
as possible, painfully hot, and in great
quantities. Experiments have been made
in Paris by DR.. Debove which controyert
both these doctrines. These expert
ments indicate that provided the
same amount of solid food is taken,
large quantities of water make maA
neither thinner nor latter. They were
carefully made on a friend who took
weighed quantities of food daily, and while
these remained equal doubling the guam
tity of water had no measurable effect on
the weight of the body. Still, it is quite
possible that the old theory of thirst cure
and the new theory of hot water cure may
both be correct. Both violate the natural
conditions of health. Scalding hot water,
like tea or coffee. or grog of similar tenn
perature, unquestionably Injuries the teeth,
stomach, and other organs concerned in
the early stages of digestion. and it is very
probable that deficiency of liquid impedes

Nanoieon and Mario Louise.

Napoleon seems to have been as fond. of
his Young wife as his selfishness and self
consciousness permitted; and after she had
given him an heir he was more devoted
than ever. To do him justice when the
birth endangered the life of the Empress,
in real griefand anxiety hegave peremptory
orders that the life Of the mother was to be
saved at any cost. The Austrian family,
whatever they have thought of the meSaiHi-
dnce, accepted its consequences with adni-
rable grace. NJ. de Saint Arnaud publishes
q very remarkable letter from the Empress
of Austria TO her formidable son-in-law. in
which she expressed herself with regard tn
her step-daughter with the most tender af-
fiction and confidence. That it was writ
ten hypocritically we can hardly doubt,
considering the antecedent aud subsequent
conduct of the writer, but all the same it is
significant proof OF the ascendency of Ma
poieon in the zenith of his power As for
Marie Louise, she liked her husband il she
did not love him, but she felt apparently
that he was removed from her to an i'm
measurable distance. They had very little
in common. He intimated his will rather
than gave his orders and she acguieSced.
He disliked women interfering in public
affairs or discussing them, and consequently
there was no confidence between them in
the matters nearest to her heart. And she
never succeeded in acclimatizing herself in
French society. The courtiers, who were
parvenus, distruste :" the Austrian wom-
an" who could hardly fail to look down on
plebians, while the old aristocracy of the
Faubourg St. German resented the fumil-
iation of her marriage. So, while she
gracefully acknowledged the accamations
of the crowd, she showed herself cold and
reserved in court circles. She was still
very young and inexperienced, and things
would probably have steadily changed for
the better had her husband never under
taken his Russian venture, or had come back
from Moscow in triumph. When the world
lost its faith in his star his wife's feelings
changed altogether, and the weak woman
who had only worshiped him in his power
reverted to the preudices of her early train

BUMBLEBEEs IN DEMAHD.-Darwin made
some experiments III regard to the fertiliza-
ton of flowers by insect agency, one CT
which | will transcribe. He selected one
hundred heads of red clover, which he ex-
cluded from the visits of insects, but gave
them the other requisites of reproduction,
viz. sunlight and moisture. He also Sc
lected one hundred heads and left them free
to the visits of insects, with the following
results the one hundred heads that the in
sects did not get to failed to produce a sin
gle seed, while those that were visited by
the insects produced $1,000 seeds, thus
showing that insects are great factor in
the fertilization of flowers. Red clover
was introduced into Australia, and seed
taken from here would grow and produce
a good crop; but there was one great draw
back. and that was this, the clover would
not reproduce itself; they could not raise
seed from it, as the proper insect necessary
to its fertilization was wanting. They then
introduced several colonies of bumblebees,
after which the clover bore seed the same
as in this country Exchange.

And watched the preacher full of wynn

She shuddered when so many folks,
Whose sins must heavy weigh
Laughed saiiy at the preacher iolks
And never tried to preigh.
She wondered if her lover would
Be careful OF his soul,
And If his ways were always gould
When out OF her controul.

And gave it to her lover dom,

LIVING ISLAND.
The alligator is not in any way an at
tractive animal. On the contrary, it is
about as repellent in looks and disposition
as any living creature can very well be.
And vet in one respect, at least, it is to be
envied: it can go through life without ever
needing dentist, unless it is to eat him
for it never keeps its teeth long enough to
give them chance 10 decay or ache or get
out of order in any way. When an alli-
gators tooth is worn out or broken or in
need of any kind of repair, it drops out.
and behold new one is ready TO take its
place. But hardly need to say that the
alligators teeth are Il joy only TO itself.
Another popularity of the alligator is It's
ability to sleep. Like other reptiles, it is so
cold blooded that it likes warmth and hates
cold. 1t needs water, too, and as the dry
season and the cool season come on regu-
larly in Florida there is double reason
why the Florida alligators should go into
winter quarters. 1t buries itself in the
mud after the manner of its kind and set
ties down for long nap.
Sometimes it happens that grass and
quick growing shrubs spring up on the
back of this torpid animal. As rule these
are all shaken or washed of when, with
the first warm rains the alligator rouses
itself and makes for the water; but occa-
sionally, for some reason, the mud clings
and with it the plant growth, so that when
the halfawakened creature slides into the
water and floats stupidity off, it looks like a
floating island.
In one such instance, plover was so de-
ceived as to build its nest in the plant
