Hot or Cold Water.

Hot water sometimes cures dyspepsia,
for the reason that in catarrh of the
stomach, as in other inhammations, we
have unnaturally diiated vessels and
sluggish circulation, or sven stagnation,
Of the blood.
Contraction is here, as in hyper@mia
elsewhere, the first steps towards cure.
In catarrh of the stomach, therefore,
hot drinks may favor secretion and the
better digestion of food.
In the primitive state, however, hot
drinks were of course unknown. The
animals in winter drink from hole in
the ice, and children do not care for
hot drinks until they have been taught
to use them. A conclusion to be drawn
is not to introduce children to this prac-
tice of a retrograde civilization too
early. The child's digestion Is not ben
Gifted by hot drinks so long as he is in
normal state. Another conclusion is,
not to smile superciliously upon your
friend because he thinks that half
glass of ice water before eating gives
him relish for his food.
A third conclusion relates to milk as
diet. Where milk cannot be taken be-
cause it coagulates in Jumps, try taking
it lukewarm or hot. Ice cold milk pro-
vokes secretion, just as ice cold water
does, and this sudden out-pouring of
the gastric juice coagulates the whole
quantity in mass. By giving the milk
hot, on the contrary, secretion is de-
layed, coaguation occurs more slowly,
and flakv curd is the result.
A fourth conclusion refers to the hot
water. While the douchng of the di-
gestive tract with hot water may be
beneficial for time, if persisted in af-
ter the normal circulatory equilibrium
mas been reached, it will invariably
harm. AS remedy, hot water is not
harmless, and its administration should
be controlled by the physicians direc-
tons just as certainly as the use of
drugs.-Sanitary Era.

number Of dogs to scent out the strong, Pc
culiar odors of dynamite, send them ahead Of
the imperial train to detect, and, by vicious
barking, signal to the engineer the dangerous
presence of the dynamite. As an additional
precaution, another pack of trained dogs can
be placed in boxes suspended under the floors
of the carriages. They would howl when
they smelled dynamite. A system of speak

the compartments occupied by the suite Of

While reporting he served five years at
newspaper work in the legislature, nearly
three years at city hall, and had a wide
range of business, law and political reporting.
In 1879 he was promoted to city editor, and
in 1881 was advanced to news editor, which
position he still occupies. His duties are en-
tirely executive, including the immediate di-
rection of reporters and correspondents and
supervision of the work Of all engaged in

from purely editorial matter or that involv-

COSTA R:cA'S ELECTION.

Chosen for President.
Ii is very clear, say the observant members
of the American colony at San Jose, with
many sly wink at each other, that Costa
Rica is becoming very like the United States,
and that possibly she is qualifying to toin
that vast and prosperous nation before many
years shall have passed. Never before in the
history of the plucky little republic was
known such an electoral lucha as that of the
present year. It began last May, when Presi-
dent Soto called upon Vice President or De
signado Esquivel to take his place and hold
it for the remainder of the term. Senior Es-
quive- stepped promptly to the helm, and
steered affairs bravely for two months. Then
trouble began. During those two months his
friends had begun to talk Of him in connec-
ton with the coming election for the presi-
dency, and simultaneously had appeared an
opposition candidate in the person of another
estimable citizen Of San Jose, by name Don
Jose Joaquin Rodriguez. This gentleman is
older than Senior Esquivel, much wealthier
and, In some respects, more conservative
He has been judge Of the higher courts and
is beyond doubt clever lawyer. The Esqui-
velites however, began to poke fun at him
from the moment he published his letter de-
claring himself candidate and closing with
the assurance that he was like George Wash
ington. Hot and heavy waxed the contest
until the memorable 4th Of August, when the
Rodriguistas came marching into the city in
large bodies and attempted to gain possession
of the cuartels. The police were ordered out
and charged upon them with drawn swords.
The crowds retreated, laughing and joking as
if it were the veriest school boys sport, adj
vanced again, and again had to retreat. 1t
was a day of excitement.
Acting President Esquivel was away at
Alajuela until evening. When he was re-
turning some one met him at the train with
the cheerful assurance, la revolution es I'm
hecho" dts fact, there's revolution. He
fastened to the palace and held his ground

shortly afterwards to The New York Tribune
as reporter, becoming assistant night editor
with Amos Cummings, and later city editor.
From there he went to assume the managing
editorship of The Newark On. j. Daily Adj
vertiser, and later purchased and edited a
paper in Elizabeth, n. j. He Joined The
Transcript in 1875, and for six years was art,
dramatic and musical critic and chief edi-
torial writer, in 1881 succeeding Mr.. W. A.
Hovey as managing editor when that gentle
man resigned.
Everything about Mr.. Clement is marked
with elegance and good sense He is a social
man, often seen at receptions, but knows as
well what is going Oh in general and local
politics as in society. He is man of family,
and his house on Charles street is a charming
home. He is member of the Boston Memo
rial, Papyrus, Press and st. Botolph's clubs.
He is staiwart man, coUrtly in appearance,
with a gray mustache and gray hair, which
he parts in the middle.

Especial Correspondence

Boston, Nov 1S.-Of the seven daily news
papers published in Boston it can be truly
said that in three characteristics, at least.
their managing editors resemble each other,
namely, all are hard workers, all are modest
men, and handsome as they are modest The
proof of their good looks will be acknowl-
edged by a scrutiny of the accompanying
pictures of these representative journalists
As for their journalistic exploits the general
statement given herewith will testify.
Although Boston is often deemed provin-
eial In matters journalistic, even by members
Of the press, still it contains quite number
Of bright and able journalists. Concerning
both journals and journalists in Boston there
is always more or less goSsip-Inade up for the
most part Of fact, with just enough fiction to
give it spice-that is not only interesting to
the brethren of the pen, but to the great
mass of newspaper readers. To the latter the
Hub has less to offer than Gotham. Yet in
many respects brief sketches of the men who
control the press which serves to mold and
control the public opinion of New England's
metropolis viii prove interesting. Their lives
will serve to prove that hard, well directed
effort will usually bring its reward, not only
In the sense of duty done, but of ample remu-
neration as well. Youngish men most of
these newspaper workers are, and some quite
young. Doubtless they would, one and all,
prefer to continue laboring behind their ISL
yer MASKS allowing their work alone TO in
form the world at large of their existence

cisms of John Ruskin. Among those most
active in building up the new school was
Millet, one of the most celebrated painters of
rustic life. His ''Angelus" and his "Sower"
are familiar to many, having been often re-
produced. The figures in each are those Of
real peasants, and the action of the sower
is remarkable. Many others took part in
other departments, specimens of whose work
were procured for the exhibition.

THE BARYe EXHIBITION.
It Haa Excited Much Interest in the New

An exhibition in New York, opened for the
benefit of the Barge monument fund. is a
feast for all who are lovers of art, especially
Of animals reproduced in art.
Barge was one Of those men who strike out
in new paths He found art something which
was defined as good or bad, as it accorded
with or differed from conventional rules in
vogue among SO called critics. He studied
animals and gained an accurate knowledge
Of their structure; consequently, he was able
to give the most faithful portraiture of them
