EFFECTS OF WATER.
Why 1t Ii an Especially Good Drink wher
Taken Before Breakfast.

Why 1t Is an Especially Good Drink When
Taken Before Breakfast.
Opinions differ as to the effect of the
free ingestion of water at meals times,
but the view generally received is that
It dilutes the gastric Juice, and so re-
tards digestion. Apart from the fact
that a moderate delay in the process
is by no means disadvantage, as Sir
William Roberts has shown in his ex-
PLANTATION of the popularity of tea and
coffee, it is more than doubtful wheth-
or any such effect is in reality pro-
duced. When ingested during meals,
water may be good by washing out
the digested food, and by exposing the
undigested part more thoroughly to
the action of the digestive ferments.
Pepsin is a catalytic body, and .
given quantity will work almost in
definitely, provided the peptones are
removed as they are formed. The
good effects Of water drunk freely be-
fore meals have, however, another
beneficial result-it washes away the
mucus which is secreted by the mu-
cous membrane during the intervals
Of repose, and favors peristalsia of the
alimentary tract. The membrane thus
cleansed is in a much better condition
to receive food and convert il into SOL
uble compounds.
The accumulation of mucus is spe-
cially marked in the morning, when
the gastric walls .are covered with a
thick, tenacious layer. Food entering
the stomach at this time will become
covered with this tenacious coating.
which for time protects it from tho
action OF the gastric ferments, and so
retards digestion. The viscid con-
tents, a normal condition in the morn
ing before breakfast, are not suitable
to receive food. Exercise before par
taking OF a meal stimulates the circu-
lation of the blood, and facilitates the
flow Of blood through the vessels. A
glass Of water washes out the mucous,
partially distends the stomach, wakes
up peristalsis. and prepares the ali
mentary canal for the morning meal
Observation has shown that non-irri.
tating liquids pass directly through
the tubular" stomach, and even IL
food be present they only mix with il
to a slight extent.-BritiSh Medical

TIE VICTIM OF A MOB.
A South Carolina Ravisher Taken
From q Train and
Lynched.

Columbia S. c., June 2l,-Andy Cald-
veil, q negro, was lynched In Fairfield
county this afternoo1 for q criminal assault
upon respectable white woman. This
morning, about s o'clock, he went to the
promises of James Beckham. three miles
below Winnsboro, and seeing Beckham's
wife in the garden beckoned her to come
where he was. Upon her so doing he threw
her violently to the ground and sought to
accomplish bis purpose. Accounts vary IS
to whether or not he succeeded, but il is
generally believed he did not. The
woman's screams attracted her daughter,
quite girl, who, seeing the trouble, seized
a double barrel shotgun, rushed into the
garden, end tried to fire upon Caldwell.
TIE gun snapped, and in an instant the ne
gro rose to his feet, wrenched the gun from
the girl and fired the other barrel at her,
inhicting a severe wound in her right leg
Caldwell then went to Ridgewsy, town
twelve miles south of Winusboro, and en-
tered q store at that place. At the point
of the gun he demanded of the clerk
suit of clothes, and threatened to kill him
If he refused the request. Another clerk
'eveled pistol at Caldwell and fired, but
without effect. The negro then rstreated
from the store and went in the direction of
Winnsboro.
From that place in the meantime q sher-
ifs posse was in search of Caldwell, and
coming on him, they took him by a cir
cutious route to the Jail there. The sher-
if notified the superintendent of the state
lunatic asylum here to send for Caldwell,
the negro having escaped from that Insti-
tuition few weeks ago. A negro keeper
was sent up, and takiI z Caldwell in charge
boarded the mail train at Winnsborro
bound for this city.
The husband of the outraged woman
had meantime come up, and he entered
he same car with the couple. When, at
4 O'Clock, the train stopped at Rockton,
station three mile distant, four men en-
tered the car and seized Caldwell
against the remonstrsnce of the guard,
and took him out of the car Out
side were about forty white men, making
no demonstrations, but ready for their
work. Caldwell was taken to the woods
near by and shot to death. The crowd
then quietly dispersed. Caldwell was an
epileptic and was classed IS harmless by
the asylum authorities. These we're await
ing some notice of his being violent to re-
place him in the institution. Some of
those who were in the sherif's posse declare
that Caldwell showed signs of insanity, but
vas not violent. He vas about "a years
old, stout and strong. The injured woman
and her family are highly respectable. The
husband was absent frem home at the time
his wife was assaulted.

a NOBLE PROFESSION.
The EnyIabIe Position Occupied by the
American Physician.

The Enyiabie Position Occupied by the
American Physician.
The physician sees. in the sick room,
human nature as it really is, devoid Of
all mask or concealment: and il is safe
to say that those cases are few in
which the true nature is not greatly
inferior to that presented TO the world.
II his patient succumbs TO the disease.
the doctor Is too often unjustly
blamed; while if he RECEIVERS he finds
that appreciation and gratitude are
developed in inverse proportion to the
progress of convalescence. NOtwith-
standing all these drawbacks, the life
of a successful and skillful physician
is a most satisfying one to those who
really love their profession, and none
other should enter it. No calling Is
more noble or moro useful. There is
satisfaction and delight in relieving
pain and restoring health and strength.
which the physician experiences in all
its fullneSS, even when the patient
himself is unappreciative. The prac-
tice of medicine furnishes a wide field
for the exercise of the scientific facul-
ty, whether it be in the direction of
the manipulative dexterity of practical
surgery or the more purely intellect
ual work of the treatment of func-
tional and organic disease. A large
proportion of those most emf
nent in natural and physical
science have been men who began
their career as students of medicine.
and only at later period of their life
abandoned the hospital and dissecting-
room for the chemists laboratory or
the naturalist's study. The social po-
sition Of the physician is, in this coun-
try, a remarkably high one. In other
countries, notably in Europe, the case
is different. He is there considered as
rather belonging to lower class of
society, and only worthy to be ranked
with tradesmen. With us, however.
the case is very different. The physi-
clan is usually prominent man in the
community. and the trusted friend and
counselor of families and individuals,
in many cases for generations 1t is in
the consciousness of his power and use
fulness, however, that the physician
experiences his highes. satisfaction.
From the hour of birth to that of death
he watches over his fellow beings, re-
lieves their pain and preserves and
prolongs their existence Fortunate
is he who has for his medical adviser
a wise, skillful and conscientious man,
such as is so often found in the pro-
fession; and happy is such a physi-
clan in the consciousness of a useful,
honorable and noble life.-Popular

The following from a Journal
published in New York entitled
"Printer's Ink" ia well worthy of
consideration:
"Proprietors of schools and colleges
are now beginning to advertise. This,
then, is seasonable advice. A school
requires but few customers and these
may be drawn from any section Of
country. Only the children of the
rich are sent away from home TO be
educated. A school should be adj
vertised in papers circulating among
people who are well to do and intel
Iigent. To reach these the manager
of a successful school must appeal
through the daily papers, the re-
ligious press, the magazines, the
weekly editions of the large dailies,
the literary. and POSSIBLY of more
value than any others. compared to
the cost the local journals issued in
neighbor.hoods from which the
school now has or has formerly had
pupils. There is no place where it
it will pay so well TO advertise a
school, or in fact anything else. as in
the very place where it is already
favorabiy known, for there every
person can commend it when inquired
of, and the advertisement incites
inquiry. Advertise before each term
from one to three months"
