bat being in form of vapor, is not

much work this organ does. In cool
seasons the average amount of sweat
exhaled from an adult is two pounds,
this amount increasing up to four
pounds an hour, the latter enormous
quantity having been measured upon
workmen exposed to the intense he 1t
of gas-works furnaces. Night and
day, every hour of our lives, this
wonderful sieve is at work, taking
from the blood useless and poisonous
debris its labors so vital that twenty
four hours complete suspension means
death.

AFTER-DINNER WALKS.
They Are Indispensable to the Preservs
ton of Robust Health.


| ton of Robust Health.
"After dinner sit awhile, after sup
per walk mile" That was suitable
advice for the 'good old times" when
dinner was taken at noon. "The wise
man changes his mind We moderns
have changed ours, and our habits
too. The couplet may be changed to
suit the new circumstances. after
luncheon sit awhile, after dinner walk
a mile" This advice is by no means
universally followed. 1t may be
doubted whether it is universally
given or believed in. One thing, how
ever, is certain; the emile" and much
more ought to be walked some time
during the twenty-four hours. Nay,
it must be walked il health is to be
maintained. Indoor air can not be
breathed all day long without serious
injury. nor can sufficient measure of
physical exertion be dispensed with.
Nature is stronger than all the doctors
and drugs in the world, and she will
not let man be we'll who persistently
disobeys her. She has made our
limbs for movement and our lungs for
pure air. II We do not use the limbs
sufficiently and breathe enough OF per-
fectly pure air. she insists upon stor-
ing up quantities OF poisonous waste
in the system. and makes the arms and
legs as limp as jelly fish. Men OF
business and professional men seem to
have no time for walking and taking
the air" except in the evening. But
dinnerP Most true; and therefore a
man should not eat "heavy
dinner" habitually. Whether he walks
or not, the "heavy dinner will do him
nothing but harm, and all the more
harm if he does not walk. Most men
eat a good meat lunch. Many take
both meat and pudding; in fact, to all
intents and purposes, they dine"
They do not then need heavy meal in
the evening. After substantial
luncheon at one. moderate dinner at
six or seven Is all that is required. If
such a meal be taken, followed at about
eight o'clock by cup of hot coffee,
the man who has not been overworked
during the day, should feel perfectly
fresh for walk at $50. If he then
goes out and walks until 9:30, he will
soon begin to find his walk great
pleasure. and the advantage to his
health will be marked, indeed. Does
he fear the might air?" That is non
sense, Night air is rs good as any
other air except that 1t is little cold
err He can provide against that by
wrapping up little more. For get
ting rid OF the cares OF the day. for
producing pleasant sense of relaxa-
ton, for purifying the blood, for rails
ing the spirits, for encouraging sound
and refreshing sleep, there is nothing
better than an evening walk after II
moderate diuner. To those who have
not practiced the habit the first few
walks may prove fatiguing and disap-
pointing; but let them give it fair
trial Perseverance will amply justify
what some may consider rather novel
advice London Hospital.

UNDESIRABLE CARGOES.
How livestock Is shipped From New
York to European Ports,

HOW livestock Is Shipped From New
York to European Ports.
There is great deal of livestock
being shipped to Europe. Many
of the vessels engaged in the trade
haul OF as summer approaches and
prepare to share in the passenger
business. 1t is surprising how the
cattle are able to live through the pas
sage. carried as they are on the upper
deck and subject to all the hardships
of the North Atlantic in winter time.
In heavy weather, when the vessel is
rolling and pitching, the believing of
the frightened cattle often rises above
the roar of the storm. Many of them
become sea-sick, fall down and are
trampled upon by the remaining cattle
in the pen. AS soon as there is a dead
steer in one of the pens it is absolutely
necessary to get him overheard. Sail
ors often have difficult tasks to per-
form, but when it comes to sending
one of their number into pen to bend
on the end of hoist to a dead steer 8
leg, and to do this in the midst of a
frightened bunch of Texas steers.
Jack often makes a bad mess of it.
Not lnfrequently the steers break
down some of the pens by their shift
ing about between the rails and affect
seriously the vessels trim. If this
happens in heavy storm it will likely
place the ship in imminent DANGER
There is only one remedy, and that is
TO get the steers overheard. A bunch
OF them are are shut off as closely as
possible, the ports knocked down and
as the vessel gives a heavy roll thew
are fairly pushed over into the seeth-
ing water. A big six-inch hawser
throws them off as if they were so
many flies. The ports are closed. and
as one glances back over the waves
the cattle can be seen struggling des-
pefateiy TO keep themselves up The
Dig steamer plows on her way, and
perhaps in an hour or so, if there il
more trouble in the trimming of the
vessel, consigns another dozen or ff-
teen steers to the ocean.
All the Hill line steamers are at
present carrying cattle to London IN
say nothing of many British tramn
vessels. On the other side the cattIe
are put through short fattening pro.
cess and then killed.-N. Y. Special

FATALITY.

In sorrow found you, an atom down hurled;
Your bright eyes closed, your brown wings
furled
On the spring frightened highway. where al
your world
Sang, blossomed and purled-
That wisp in Your bill was a bit of your nest
Its first or its last straw-which was the best?
What matter! each in home might be blest
At loves sweet behest
In ecstasy soaring through air sunny bright,
Some obstacle met in your swift winged flight
A futter OF pinions-a fall through the light
A cry-and then night.
Your world was unmindfui fair flowers up
sprung
Where all your gay comrades INCREASINGLY sung
But your little mates plant the song-chorus
among
Your knell family rung:
And /. too. forgot you-the imperative call
Of day cares suppanted sorrow small
Only infinite pity had marked the sad fall
That. birdie. all
These our lives my brown bird-fair structures
that grow
By our frail finite fiutterings to and fro.
And just as the life tolls competioa we know
Some pitiful blowi
5ateful our fall is, as blind was our flight
Our death faint cry in world of delight
What does it mean:-you and know the might
OF power infinite.

The report of the exhaustion of the
Ba1zu oil supply, which has lately been
extensively circulated, appears to have
arisen from the fact that "shut down
of large number of wells was ordered,
for the purpose of checking the over
production which has been going on. 1t
is no uncommon thing for native of
Baku to tap supply of 20,00o,000 gal
Ions of oil, end waste $4,000, 900 out of
it, simply for want of foresight in pro-
viding a egp for the well, or by the omis-
sion to arrange for surface storage.
The authorities have now taken the
matter in hand, and passed laws which
regulate the supply. In view of the rapid
increase in the demand for petroleum, it
is satisfactory to know that Baku is as
prolific of oil as ever. The oil trade is
rapidly assuming such gigantic proper
tions that for many years there will prob
ably be ample room for America, Russia
and Burmah, as well as for the minor
fields that will in time furnish supply
for the worlds market But, in any
case, it will be good thing for Russia
when the more careful and economical
methods of America are adopted in the
Caspian region.-New York Telegram.

TWO ANGELS.

Obi restless hearth abode Of storm and passion
Thou art the home of angel sisters two
That cana from heaven in angelic fashion
To deck our lives with peace and JOY anew.
The elder, Love- a bright-eyed fiery maiden.
Unruly as a tempest in her might. %
The other, Friendship. is with beauty laden.
And peaceful as balmy summer night
Love Is a rugged, swelling mountain torrent
Rushing. FLASHING onward 20 the sea:
While Friendship is a brookiet's gentle current
Rejecting heavens azure canopy
True Love announces her Inspiring presence
Like hghtnings fash-undaunted, bold AMI
proud
But Friendship CLEANS like oceans phosphores
cence.
Or like moonbeam from behind a cloud
Then blessed yea, thrice blessed is the bosom
That for these angels finds abiding room.
Where like a bushing rose. true Love may bloe
som,
And Friendship. like snow white lily. bloom

Feel Your Adams Annie.

sit is well known" said Joe Boards
ley, sthat deformities have often dictated
styles, but probably most people do not
realize to what extent the slight defects
control them in the most trivial pieces
of apparel This is shown in the case of
the prevailing styles of collars worn.
When the style changed from the low
collar to the high one it was a sweeping
change. so that but few people could be
seen wearing anything but the choker.
Finally the choker was modified into a
collar with the ends turned down, a good
deal of space being left open to the
throat
THAT style was never adopted uniyer-
sally Why? For the reason that a great
portion of the men who have occasion to
wear collars at all have prominent Ad-
ANS apples, which they are very glad to
hide from sight If they find an oppor-
tunity. The choker just suited them,
and it will be many days before they
will be induced to give it up. Wash
