That cool refreshing drinks in warm weather are
delicious Is undeniable. That drinking ice water
in copiOus draughts when person is overheated
is injurious, not to say dangerous, is also undeni-
able But that the free drinking Of water in some
form in hot weather must he avoided, is deniable,
When person is perspiring freely from every
pore, vast amount of water is drawn from the
body, which must be re.supplied or great injury
is being done the physical health, and the founda-
tion of some of the worst forms of kidney disease
is being slowly, but surely laid. Why. someone
will eNcaim, that is just what causes kidney
troubles; drinking water freely, which contains so
much lime. Wrong again, So long as the water
drank is freely carried through the system, and
converted m its passage to the naturally acid re-
action of the urine and perspiration, no danger
can occur by deposits OF urea or lime in the kid
neys and bladder, because they remain perfectly
In solution and are carried out of the body instead
of remaining In il. Literally, they are washed out
of the body by the copous draughts of water that
most perfect of all known solvents,D same as a
series of pipes are flushed with water 10 clean
them. A clean body Is never diseased
DO not drink ice cold water but pure cool water;
a little lemon juice will improve the effectiveness
Plain soda water with little acid is also excellent
If from drinking too much ice water you have
stomach cramps, or are water logged as il Is
called, or are attacked with Cholera Morhus, Sum
ner Complaint Diarrhua or Dysentery, do not
resort to alcoholic stimulating drinks which iTri-
tate rather than soothe aud allay the Inflammation
which has caused the trouble; but adopt the prac-
tice Of taking daily just before retiring, during
july and August, One teaspoOnful of Johnson 5
Anodyne Lininent IN a little sweetened water,
from Ice water. In fact little pamphlet sent free
to anyone, by l. S. johnson a Co, Boston Mass
contains a vast amount Of Information about treat
ing those summer troubles.

he was called, came forward, and amid
cheers and tears related his experience.
The boys father was present and spoke af-
fectingly out of full heart He said the
boy was now well and entirely recovered.
A generous collection was taken to put in
the savings bank for the boy. Everybody
congratulated everybody else, and especial
ly the father who seemed to be holding
real reception. 1t reminded one of the oc-
casion Of old when the good shepherd, after
being out among the mountains on like

SHOT FOR 4 DEER.
4 Distressing Accident in the New York
North Woods,

\ Rome, y. y, despatch Of Aug 1G
says Clarence Guest Pell of New York,
aged 20. only son of Walter T. Pell, was
shot and instantly killed yesterday after
noon in the North Woods, about half a
mile above Pansaculla lake, in Herkimer
county a party of four, consisting of
young Pell, his chum at Yale, James Hus-
ted, a son of Gen James W. Hustled a
young man named Cox, and William Spell,
their guide, started out on deer hunt.
Another party which had camped a short
distance from the Pell party were also hunt
ing in the same deer lick. This party con
sisted of three-Elis II. Roberts of Utica,
aged :, son of George l.. Roberts of the
Utica Herald, James Sherman, and their
guide. They had not seen deer all day
long. The Pell party were in the bushes
awaiting their chance to shoot deer on
the quiet. Ii seems that the Roberts party
were not aware of this, and, as they were
only ten rods away. heard the bushes crack.
Young Roberts quickly aimed his Winches
ter at n tan colored object that he thought
was deer and fired and shot his friend
Clarence Pell dead. When he reached the
spot he found Pell stone dead in the hands
of his guide, who was only few feet away
when the shot was fired The ball had
struck Pell on the right side, passing
through the left side, and had lodged in his
wrapper.
Pell wore a tan -colored coat, and at
glimpse in the woods might easily be mis-
taken for deer, and it was this which
young Roberts saw when he fired the fatal
shot. He was overcome with horror at
what he had done, but coroner's inquest
ahsolved him from blame.

"Well, ! guess that can sorter fix it up

mind to wait bit, ~ answered the man who
had examined it, and to this its owner final
ly consented.
He walked up and down, looked out Of
doors and windows, and thought it very
tiresome waiting, but he never dreamed
that there was another to whose anxious
impatience his own was as nothing who
was far more glad when they were once
more on their way, albeit it was to him an
other stage of blind journey he knew

seemed TO Launce while they Travelled on
and on without even a word to break the
monotonous silence-at last they stopped.
gate was thrown open, familiar voice
spoke, and the boy comprehended that the
dreary roundabout trip had terminated at
the doctors home. He was half inclined
then to believe they had made a circle of the
earth. The horse was led away, the car
riage drawn TO its place, and he heard the
faithful Mike locking the door. But that
did not trouble him much He crept from
his hiding place, stood upon the ground and
walked slowly TO and fro for few minutes
TO restore circulation to his cramped and
stffened limbs. Then he began to look
about for way Of escape, and found it in
small sliding window that opened upon
sloping meadow lot.
How fair and sweet the sunlight seemed
when he stood in the open air once more
for the day was not yet done, long as he
had deemed the hours. He drew long,
free breath, and planted his feet firmly in
the soft grass

seats for stead of on top of 'em - question
ed shrill little voice, and there stood the
ubiquitous Hetty, looking solemnly at him
with her great dark eyes
He took step forward, then turned, and
said in voice as nearly coaxing as it was in
the boys nature to make it
'Hetty, I'll show you where there's a
prime lot Of blackberries tomorrow.
Yes said Hetty, understandingly, and
he turned homeward. Someway home
looked very pleasant that evenng-outside,
where the golden light fell around it in
side, where the tempting supper was pre-
pairing. Launce turned for a second look
at it, as he walked away down the lane to
drive up the cows.
He did not tell any one of his days ex-
perience-it did not seem to him there was
very much to tell, and what there was he
infinitely preferred TO keep to himself
neither did he write down any long and
high-sounding resolutions but that even
ing, in an old memorandum book, between
a rambling account of how many eggs his
hen had laid, and terrific picture of an
Indian in feathers and tomahawk, he wrote

Now, every reader Of protection litera-

the United States government was giving

from the effects of that sort of competi-

Neither can protection be blamed for the
cheapness of New England farms, so long
as the government is giving homesteads to

Why He Travelled.

An Esquimau sat on a chunk of ice
In the land of the northern pole:
He cracked his heels and he whistled twice
At a sight that alarmed his soul.
For stranger came over the fields of snow
At a speed that was fearful, quite:
His cheeks were pallid and thin with woe,
And the frost on his beard was white.
oh, prithee, pause, - cried the Esquimau;
From whence do you come so fasty'
Il come from land weary leagues below
This realm with its storm and blast.
Il come from land in the far-off south.
And I've travelled ten thousand miles
Since last the sun like a beaming mouth
Turned loose on the earth his smiles.
I've clambered the mountains; on raging streams
Full oft I've been heaved and tossed.
