How and When to Drink Water.

According to DIR. Lieut.. when water is
taken into the full or partly full
stomach, it does not mingle with the
food, as We are taught. but passes along
quickly between the food and lesser
curative toward the pylorus. through
which it passes into the intestines. The
secretion of mucus by the lining men,
brane is constant, and during the night
a considerable amount accumulates in
the stomach; some OF its liquid portion
is absorbed, and that which remains 10
thick and tenacious If food is taken
into the stomach when in this
it becomes coated with this
mucous, and the secretion of the gastric
juice and its action are delayed. These
facts show the value OF goblet OF
water before breakfast This washes
out the tenacious mucus. and stimulates
the gastric glands to secretion. In old
and feeble persons water should not be
taken cold. but it may be taken with
great advantage taken warm or hot.
This removal OF the accumulated mu-
Gus is probably one of the reasons why
taking soup at the beginning Of a meal
has been found so beneficial Medical

Valuable Hints to Farmers.

A clever trick has just come to light
For instance. if a person thinks Of
dealing in onions, or cabbages. or any
similar commodity in the fall he adver-
tises in the spring for persons to raise
them for him on contract This brings
multitude Of applications, which he
answers after q few weeks delay. say
ing his contracts are full He is care
full to tell what prices he agreed TO
pay. which are pretty we'll up. In
closing his letter he says he shall be
in the market. however. for such goods,
and when they are ready for shipment
he desires to be informed This kind
of talk induces most growers to plant
a full stock. BY this means the cum
ming dealer will know right where to
find what he wants when the time
comes. but of course prices will be way
down then. and he will buy at almost
his own figures Y. Tribune

NEW ENGLAND IOIOMs.

Some OF the Noticeable PeculiaritIes Of the
Yankee Dialect.
The drawing and twisting of vowels
is by by no means characteristic of Yer
monters, nor of Yankees in general.
1t is true that the offensive sounds are
heard here, but it is also true that they
belong to the more illiterate peoplesas
specially imperfect speech always does.
and that they are by no means confined
to the six States. This popularity of
speech. the one thing most insisted
upon by writer's upon Yankee dialect
from first to last, and commonly ac-
cepted as the great characteristic of the
people, is to-day heard more in New Jer-
sey than anywhere in the six States so
far as l know, and is found more or less in
almost all parts of the country. Again.
while it is true that some genuine Yam
KEGS, and whole communities of them.
drop the '.h'' in such words as when"
so far as my observation goes, they are
not many.
The country around Boston shows
this popularity. but l have never met
it elsewhere in New England, and here
it is utterly unknown. This. however.
is an English thing that is preserved in
England. as we'll as here. and
may be met with in many
parts of the country. Another mat
ter OF lager sort than mere pronuncia-
ton, which is found among Yankees as
we'll as other people, is the redundant
use of negatives. Some members of the
race in this section are very ingenious
in piling them up. as may appear by q
couple of instances ''taken from life.
thus:
don't s'pose there amt nobody seen nothin'
o. no old felt hat nowheres
don't spose you don't know OF nobody that
don't want to hire nobody to do nothin':
1t will be observed that both these
instances are questions, and that each
begins with the Il don't s'pose." which
comes so very often in Yankee speech.
But this use of negatives is not peculiar
to the Yankee any more than the drawl.
although it is much more common in
this locality. And in relation to the
misuse of vowels one curious thing that
have noticed is a tendency to reverse
the proper sound of IA in some cases
Thus q great many people in this sec
ton. if speaking the path to the pas
ture," will have the "a" in the first
word as in the last" and in the last ono
- in '.far." exactly reversing the
proper places The thing holds true
with q great many similar words

Queer Place for a Nest.

On the arrival of a passenger train
at Derby the other day the carriage
Taper found in the spring of a horse
box thrush's nest full OF eggs in pro-
cess OF incubation. This is an instance
OF the migration Of birds which even
White. of Selborne. had not the oppor-
tunity of observing. The passion for
travel has been hitherto supposed to be
confined to the featherless bipeds. and
even among them it is usually repress-
ed when they are expecting an addi-
ton to their families What could
have been the train Of circumstances
which led the bird to build in railway
train? 1t is possible that they may
have been deceived by the carriage
Taper. The woodpecker. says the
poet, makes stiller by his sound the
inviolable quietness." and perhaps they
confused his note with that OF the rail-
wa: official; 1.-THE spring" of the horse
box may also have contributed to their
mistake. Perhaps the naturalist. how
ever. may have some other explanation
10 offer.-Pall Mall Gazette.

THE DOG TRAMP.

In dinSy depot where people come and 60
To and fro on missions in an endless flow,
Perched upon the corner Of the seat puppy
sat
Cooked his little head and wondered; very
queer is that!
Was he strayed Or stolen, or had some conner
Jumped aboard the train and left the puppy to
his fate:
If he had a human tongue tale he could un-
fold.
But puppies are not overwise, and so he never
told.
Just a baby puppy, awful lost guess.
Ready 10 be taken care Of without no or yes;
Wants little petting or tender piece OF
meat
A saucer filed with milk, perhaps, or some
thing else to eat.
He's longing for master, whether lord or
whether scamp,
But 10 one seems to notice him and SO he starts
his tramp.
'Tisn't very easy for a baby dog to find
His way among the crowded thoroughfares OF
human kind
He isn't old enough to fight, he can not hold bis
own
Against the wicked dogs that steal away his
mutton bone.
So sad and dirty on he drags along his lonely
way,
elogged with clay.
He finds nook to shelter him beneath a stack
OF straw
And there he curls himself to sleep while hun
ger hangs his jaw.
II dogs have dreamy visions, then the puppy
sleeping there
Partook of rarest viands in the night OF his
despair;
For he woke up with whimper and he looked
around to see
What the fairy god had brought him-but 1t was
dream, poor he.
Over fields of greenest grass where daisies fair
and white
Lift up their pretty heads to his muzzle with
delight,
house door,
The baby dog he wanders till his feet are cut
and sore.
The children want to pet him, but their parents
drive away
The little dog because they say he isn't fit to
Stay.
Awiully unlsind he thinks it is to be tramp,
And he is just baby dog and not wicked
scarnp.
Hes whimpered at dozen gates and begged at
countless doors,
But no kind soul will shelter him, however bad
he plores
IT'S very hard to be q dog. especially when
young;
How gladly would he tell his tale if he had hui
man tongue.
A house with many windows looms before his
weary way;
Perhaps the people there are kind enough to
let him stay.
IT'S paradise of paupers, old and young, the
blind, the halt
The aged sire wrecked in life who can not earn
his salt,
The tender-hearted maiden and the rugged lads
who scof-
They do not turn against the tramp nor drive
the puppy on.
The little pauper babies they divide their milk
with him,
Until he is quite satisfied that life is not SO
dim.
He plays among the paddlers in the sand when
sun is bright
He eats and sleeps among them, and he is q
pauper, quite.

HIS VOCATION.
Which Was Caretaker to Six Un-
ruly Boys and One Pretty Girl

The wind was shrieking down Church
lane with fixed determination to tear
up the flights OF yellow steps in front of
the somber-looking houses on either
side of the narrow. old-fashioned street.
Many a wind had tried to accomplish
this feat before, without success. They
were very firm steps Every morning
servants performed wonderful opera
tions upon them with water and clay.
Poor old town, the aesthetic craze has
not touched it yet
These steps led up into large, highly
respectable houses Those who dwelt
in them were termed 1.-The gentry" by
the poorer people.
Within Ole of the dining-rooms sat
two lazy individuals before a large fire,
their easy chairs so turned that they
could watch the hard pellets of snow
drive through the air down the street
''Guy Meredith. Md" was inscribed
upon the brass plate on the front door
of this house. The darker and lazier
OF the two men was Gilbert Rowell, a
stranger to Church-lane. visiting his
friend Guy. For some years he had
been looking out for his special voca-
ton, but up to the present had either
passed it on the way or had not come
up to it; therefore he spent his time in
waiting round" very comfortably.
They were both silently smoking.
Occasionally the eyes of Gilbert closed
in slumber, and once his pipe fell out
OF his idle white hand. causing a sub
dued laugh to come from under Guys
mustache. That was all the sound
there was within the room; outside. the
bowling of the wind and the monoton-

A Quaint Resort Near the Highlands =
the Hudson.
Full OF interest and charm is this
early settlement OF the Quakers up
among the breezy Highlands. at an alti-
tude OF over thirteen hundred feet We
had heard OF Mizzen-Top Hotel, but

den so cheerfully tells against himself,

highest mountain. which is on his own
estate. "Maintop." and when the ques-
ton Of naming the new hotel arose. he
suggested that if the other mountain
was ''main" this was certainly ''miz-
zen." and a more appropriate name
could hardly be found. Across the
broad piazzas and through the airy
halls blows as stiff and cool breeze as
plays through ships rigging; hea, and
discomfort are entirely forgotten. and
the extended view OF soft-rolling coun-
try reminds one of a summer sea, whilo
rs far as the eye can reach stretches the
blue line OF the Catskills.
Spots of historic interest are not
wanting in the neighborhood. for

General Washington had his head

good authority for the statement that
he took up his residence at the old
Kirby House, ut the foot OF Quaker
Hill. and Mrs. Akin, mother OF the late
Judge Akin. used to tell the story of its
occupation in this way:
''One day two aide-de camps rode up
to the door and inquiring for Mr.. Fer

ington would like to make his home
there for few days. Mr.. Ferris con-
sented and to notify all intruders that
this was the home of the Commander

was satisfied; he went on some time
quite happily. not giving any of his
valuable attention to the pair on the
wall. and perfectly unnoticed by them.
After a time he became aware that
Lorrie was sObbing: then he both
stared and listened intently. The old
tale. ." love you," was repeated once
again. Gilbert's arm was around the
white muslin. the curly brown head
was resting at last on the white flannel
jacket; the old. old sun was going down
in fiery gold once more, when Hal
burst out of his corner and stood up
like young warrior before the startled
lovers.

Selling hold of the mans large hand in

cottage at a bound. mounted the narrow
staircase, and went noisily into his
brothers room. Awakening them, he
began to relate the good news. with
great citation, from the back of chair.
Lorrie looked up at the handsome

said. with a sigh: They will be heap

Never" said Gilbert. bravely.
What are the whole six of them

as you?"
So it was settled. and as they ram
bled along the yellow sand, in the gath

together that cold windy day. but they
thought not about Maria Holdsworth,
