use of NYnter nt Meals.


 Opinions differ as to the effect of the free ingestion of water at meal times. but the view most generally received is probably that it dilutes the gastric juice and so retards digestion. Apart from the fact that a moderate delay in the process is by no means a disadvantage, as Sir William Roberts has shown i'll his ex- planation of the popularity of tea and coffee 1t is more than doubtful whether any such effect is in reality produced. When ingested during meals, water may do good by washing out the digested food and by exposing the undigested part more thoroughly to the action of the digestive ferments. Pepsin is catalyptic body, and a given quantity will work almost indefinitely provided the peptones are removed as they are formed. Tho good effects of water, drunk freely before meals, has, however, another beneficial result-it washes away the mucus which IS secreted by the mucus membrane dur ing the intervals of repose, and favors peristalsis of the whole ahmentary tract The membrane thus cleansed is in much better condition to receive food and con vert it into soluble compounds. Accord ing to Dr. Leuf, who has made this sub- ject a special study, cold water should be given to persons who have sufficient vitality to react and hot water to the others. In chronic gastric catarrh it is extremely beneficial to drink warm or hot water before meals, and salt is said in most cases to add to the good effect produced British Medical Journal.

Preventing Disease.

In other lines than surgery. the value of the germ theory is even greater, though at first sight not quite so ap- parent, since tho matter is yet in its in- fancy. The great advantage which we are to acquire through this theory is not in curing infectious diseases, but in pre- venting them. Professor Koch, in re- cent address to class of medical students, voiced this fact: ''Gentlemen,n n he said, ''you have been hitherto taught only how to cure disease, in the future you will be taught how to prevent disease.-H. w, Conn in Science.

BoUCICAULT.
the mastering of dialect gives him just SO
much less time to devote to his acting. 1t
seems to be the case with most great actors,
that they are at their best when they speak
their native tongue. And this is where Bou-
cicault's power lies. He is an lrishman,
every inch, and hence the Irish dialect which
lends so much that is quaint and romantic to
his plays is natural. He is at home. and Is
thus the better able to put his whole effort
into the honest, open hearted, enthusiastic
Irish character he imperso2ates.
Boucicault has in the play strong comedy,
though he has reserved for himself rather
modest part, that of Myles O'Hara, one in
which he does not appear at his best. Yet
his acting is, as ever. easy. lis h WIZ Is Oh a

RAILWAY MATTERS.
THE OCEAN TRAFFIC.


For two OF three months the roads from
Chicago to the Atlantic seaboard have been

rates on export freight were determined by

and making the resulting figures the UNIFORM

lines to extort more than their fair proper
ton of the through rate, and the western
roads have been demanding its abandon

vote Of the Joint executive committee OF the
Eastern and Western railroads on the ques-
tion of returning to the old plan OF adding
ocean rates to the inland rate. as the former
varied at each seaport TO make a thorough

Orable result from the vote.

Kansas Letter to Springfield Union.l

kansas Letter to Springfield Union.]
At Kansas City have had the pleasure of
a very pleasant social interview with one OF
its leading wholesale. grocers who does
business of millions each year. he is ma
tive of Maine and came to this State in 1857.
He was in robust health till the time Of
Quantrell's raid on Lawrence, Kansas, in
1868, but was shot nearly to death at that
time, and since that he has been somewhat
of an invalid. He gave very vivid descrip-
tion of the raid. About four hundred Oh the
raiders appeared about 5 o'clock in hot
summer morning and set about burning and
pillaging the town. They were particularly
desirious of getting their hands on jim Lane
who lived in house near that OF my INFORM
ant, whom l will call Mr.. b.. but Lane was
fortunate enough to escape into large corn
field across the road, and as the corn was ~
feet high and very thick, it was an excellent
protection. Mr.. b. said he could have got
into the same cornfield but felt that he had
nothing to run for and supposed they would
only rob and burn besides he did not care TO
leave his wife. A party of the raiders-six
in number-came up to the boarding house
in which were four men and three women,
an ordered the men to come out and sur
render. They asked on what terms and the
raiders said they must give up what valu-
ables they had and be marched to a place
over "TS them emit till they had gone. Mr.. B. and the
three other men then came out, entirely un-
armed, and passed through the raiders, who
formed in two lines, giving them their pock-
etbooks as they passed. They had got but
few yards from the house when the raiders
began to fire at them. The other three men
were killed outright and Mr.. b. fell with a
shot through the back of the neck, the pistol
being held so near 10 him that the flesh was
badly burned. He was shot again through
the back and although he did not lose con-
sciousness he knew 1t was best to lie quiet.
The women who had remained in the house
tried to come out but the raiders ordered
them back threatening to shoot them. One
of the raiders whipped out his knife and rip
ned his pant legs, both of them, from the
Rockets to the foot but got only pocket
knife. Mr.. b. lay in front Of the house for
some two hours in the heat of a summer sun
and a burning house near by before the bu-
ole called the raiders to retreat and his wife
dared to come to his assistance. Lawrence
was then place of 1000 inhabitants, most of
the men were then in the army, but 1S5 were
killed in the raid. Some of the raiders had
a streak of humanity in them, for In some
eases they told the occupants Of houses that
they must set them on fire and the occupants
must not put out the fires, but they might
dampsn them down with water and make a
lively smoke so as to deceive the leaders.
Kansas last year made an appropriation to
partly compensate those who suffered losses.
Mr. b. and his partner'received about $500
on loss of $4,000,
