Pure Water as Medicine.

DR.. Brunten says, in the Practition-
er, that water is, perhaps, the most
powerful diuretic that we possess. 1t
has the power of increasing tissue
change and thus multiplying the pro-
ducts of tissue waste which result
from it, but it removes these waste
products as fast as they are formed,
and thus, by giving rise to increased
appetite, provides fresh nutriment
for the tissues, and acts as true
tonic. In persons who are accus-
toned to take too little water, the
products of tissue waste may be
formed faster than they are removed,
and thus accommodating may give rise
to disease. In the class of people who
arise in the morning feeling weak and
languid, it seems that the languor
must depend upon imperfect removal
of waste products from the body, as
we know that the secretion of urine
in healthy persons is generally much
less during the night than during the
day. Such persons should drink a
tumbler OF water before going to bed. |
in order to aid the secretion of urine |
and OF the waste products during the |
night.

Round the World In Seventy.three

myself to care of a friend in Hong
Kong, sending one via Brindisi and
Singapore and the other via New
York, San Francisco, and Yokohama,
requesting my correspondent in
Hong-Kong to Readiness them back

posite route to that by which they
went out from London. This be

cards arrived here again yesterday,
the one which went out eastward on
October - reaching Hong-Kong No

thence on November II, while the
one westward, leaving London on
October 10, reached Hong-Kong on
November %, and was dispatched on
November Is. The former took
seventy-three days, and the latter
seventy-three days, for the round
journey, which is not bad. I may
further add that the entire cost on
the former card was only two pence,
and the latter one-and-a-half pence,
for a journey of over 20, 900 miles. /

He Wanted the Time.

A man in Ansonia, Conn, owns and
lives in a house that overlooks a
largeclock. Unfortunately, however
the man thinks he cannot see the
clock from the chamber window, as a
brick chimney intervenes. To obviate
this and have the pleasure oflooking
to see the time of day or night while
in bed for the clock has an illuminated
dali he one day bored a hole through
the walls of his bedroom, close to the
head of his bed, inserted a piece of
two-inch gas pipe with glass in the
outer end. and now all he has to do is
to place his eye at the inner opening
and he has focus upon the clock
without leaving his bed. His friends
asked him, when this was completed,
why he did not have a clock in his
room instead of being to so much
trouble. And for the first time it
dawned upon him that it would have
been as well.

fifteen years of its operation it has ex-
tended its business and established an
enviable reputation throughout the
country. The superior quality of the
goods which it manufactures, as well as
Its business methods are two of the
causes OF its extended patronage and
great success. The carriages, buggies
and other vehicles manufactured and
sold by this company are made from the
very best material and by the best me-
chanics. The hard woods of northern
Indiana are celebrated as the best in
the world for buggies, carriages and
wagons, and these, after being perfectly
seasoned, are used in all the vehicles
made and sold by this company. The
iron, steel, leather, cloth and other ma
terial used is the very best, and all put

Injury From Bandaging the Eyes,

The custom prevalent among
physicians as well as the laity, of
tightly bandaging or tying up of the
eye as soon as it becomes inflamed
or even sore is branded bad one by
writer in Health. He saws: cit
precludes the free access and benefi
cial effects of the cool air, and at the
same time prevents or greatly re-
tards the free access of the hot tears
and moribund secretions of the in
famed conjunctiva or corona or
both. In those cases, too, where a
foreign substance has got into the
eye the bandage-which is usually
clappped on the first thing-presses
the lids more closely against the
ball, and thus increases the pain and
discomfort by augmenting the
decorations caused by the foreign
body. This can not fail to be harm.

years, living in pleasant village in

amusement one dull, rainy Sunday,

A Girl Who Works.

A reporter has window that COM
mands a view of a sewing room over
a gentleman's furnishing store.
Every morning when the report
er gets up he sees slender girl
sewing by the work-room window.
Often when he comes home at night
she is still there and still sewing. She
is making eyelets in shirt fronts. It
is nice and delicate work, though she
does it with the persistency of ma
chine. She takes thirty stitches every
minute. That is 1900 every hour,
or $4,000 every day. In week she
takes los, 200 stitches. Her hand
moves yard for every stitch. In a
week she measures off precisely six
miles and a quarter of space with
that hand. The pay for this prodig-
GUS amount of effective labor is ST. a
day, and she is considered a high
priced, skilled work-woman.-PhiIa-

Restoring Old Chairs

hairs painted white or gold are
very fashionable just now. The fam
cy is quite a convenient one since
chairs long banished to the attic may
be made to do duty again. The
chairs should be of slender structure,
having very delicate rounds or spin
dies. The old varnish must be re-
moved before the coat of enamel is
applied. This may be done by rub
bling with sand-paper, but a coat of
concentrated I've will do the work
quite as efectually and will save an
amount of tiresome arm-work. The
enamal cost rs cents a bottle, and
one bottle contains enough to give
chair two or three coats. A cushion
of figured blue or pink satin should
be tied on by ribbon bow and a
bow may be tied to the back. Thus
with a little expense and some pa
thence very handsome gift may be
constructed.

A Startling Telegram.

Brown was a commercial traveller
and had gone on a journey to the
North and West, reluctantly
leaving his wife, who was about
to become a mother. A few days
after his departure Mrs Brown in
creased the population of Iarlem,
the new arrival being a boy; but as
the mother was very i'll the doctor
was requested to write out a tele-
gram acquainting Brown of the ad-
dition to his family and also his
wife's illness, and asking him to re-
turn with as little delay as possible.
This was done, and the telegram
was given to the servant-maid to
send off. That intelligent biped was
unable to read, and consequent
ly, being ignorant of the Importance
of the message, she put it in her
pocket and, of course, forgot all
about it.
The next day Brown paid a ely
ing" visit home, and was gratified
to find his wife and family going on
nicely. After staying at home few
hours he took his departure
without anything having been
said about the telegram,
which his wife naturally supposed he
had received. ,
A day or two after he had gone
Sairy found the luckless message in
her pocket, and after consulting her
favorite coop" she decided to send it
off at once, without saying a word to
anyone about the delay.
That night Brown, upon returning
to his hotel, was Mortified when the
following telegram, bearing that
days date, was placed in his
hand: "Your wife has got an
other son; she is very i'll;
'eturn imm ediatelyp "Another!'
he gasped. "Great Caesar! impossi-
de-" He rushed to the station, ut
;erly bewildered and alarmed at the
extraordinary occurrence. On ar
living home he dashed into the house
md, in a frenzy, demanded to know
What happened. The servant then
onfessed all, but she left that night,

There was o dearth OF wheat in Eng
land in 1929, 1880 and 1893, and in those
years bread was made of turnips. They
were boiled until they were soft enough
TO mash, when the greater part of the
water was pressed out of them. An
equal weight Of wheat meal was then
mixed with the pulp and the dough was
made in the usual manner with yeast.
dough rose well in the trough, and, after
being kneaded, was formed into 1oaves
and put in the oven. Bread prepared in
this manner has a peculiar sweetish taste,
which is said to be not disagreeable; it
is as light and white as wheaton bread,
and should be kept about twelve hours
before being cut, when the smell and
taste of the turnip will scarcely be per-
ceptible. Housekeeping.

To Clean Lo0king.Glass,

1. Remove with a damp sponge,
fy-stains and other soils (the sponge
may be dampened with water or
spirits of wine). After this, dust the
surface with finest sifted whiting or
powder-blue, and polish it with a
silk handkerchief or soft cloth. Snuff
OF candle, if quite free from grease, is
an excellent polish for a looking
glass. 2. Remove all fly stains and
dirt by breathing hard on them and
rubbing them with a soft rag, then
tie up some powder-blue in a piece of
thick flannel, and with this carefully
polish the whole surface.

HOUSEHOLD.


Lamp wicks should be changed
often enough to insure having g
good light. If they seem clogged
they may be washed in strong suds
and put into the lamps again.
To take spots of paint from wood,
lay thick coating of lime and soda
mixed over it, letting it stay twenty
four hours. Then wash off with
warm water and the spots will dis
appear.
Coffee pounded in a mortar and
roasted on an iron plate, sugar
burned on hot Goals and vinegar
boiled with myrrh and sparkled on
the floor and furniture of sick-room
are excellent deodorizers.
To boil potatoes su ccessfully
When the skin breaks pour off the
water, and let them finish cooking
in their own steam. In making a
crust of any kind do not melt the
lard in the -four. Melting will injure
the crust.
In beating cake beat from the bot
tom of the mixing bowl with a wood
en- spoon, bringing it up full and high
with each stroke, and as soon as the
are fairly and smoothly
mixed stop beating or your cake will

To keep cut flowers fresh, in the
evening lay them in a shallow pan or
bowl, with their stems in very little
water, and cover the dish with a
damp towel, one just wrung out of

can be arranged in vases for the day.
Flowers treated in this manner can
be kept from one to two weeks, and
sometimes even longer.

When General Washington. after
being appointed commander of the army

great want Of ammunition and other
means Of defense; and on one occasion
1t seemed that no means could be de-

Jonathan on the subject" The general
did 80 and the governor was most sue
