II MAN must drink, says the Medi
cal Record, the best thing he can
take with his meals a little claret or light
rune wine, aud If he wants something little
| stronger Scotch whisky with water is about
| the best thing he can have. The habit OF taking
a drink early in the morping-a cocktail or
| stlmulant Of that kind, commonly called an
| eye opener, IS one of the worst things that can
b done. The effect of alcohol is to infiame the
stomach, and iJ will do this even when diluted
and VIII dose great deal more when taken on
an empty stomach early in the morning The
best drink that man can possibly take is milk
MIX, though, is hardly a drink. One can live
longer on it than on any one thing. Milk is
more nearly perfect food than anything: it
contains more elements that go TO build up the
system than any other article Early in the
morning the best drink to take is water Tea
and coffee drunk in modera ion will not hurt
ANYBODY, although they are both stimulants.
The Sarina town clock, says the Observer
OF that place, stopped at 4:So o'clock Thursday
morning AMI Mr. Williams, on going to ascer-
| tam the cause found that the hands had been
securely tied down by strands of Irvine and
grass. The mischief had beeu done by pair of
Englsn sparrows, who had selected the angle
| formed by the hands as site for a nest The
| movements of the hands interfered with their
pla2s' and the birds put their wits to work TO
| devise remedy that would secure the stability
| of the nest. Their first scheme was to wind the
shaft on which the hands are pivoted round and
| round with grass and cords. That failing, they
tied the hands TO each other aid to the frame

engineering skill displayed by the birds in ac-
| comprising their object showed that they

besides an amount of industry and perseverance

Newport dispatch to the New York Press
says: Without doubt the woman who creates
the greatest amount of interest wheu she con-
| deScends to show her pretty form in bathing
attire is Miss Sallie Hargous of New York She
| comes out Of her bathroom looking as lovely
| and demure as possible. followed of COURSE by
her natty looking maid, who is mass o. furbe-
| lows and ribbons. Over her arms is thrown a
white merlno mantle, lined all through with
oiled SILK, which of course, is not visible. But
! her dress. The cut of the garment is almost
perfect. The material is a shade of dark
! crimson silk, With a sash of some soft black
stripe, carelessly knotted around her shapey
waist. She stands a moment, half
| reluctant. then plunges in and swims far out.
! She is much admired for her costume aud dar-
| ing. Mrs. Lorillard S Jencer is also a great
IaVorlte OH the beach. She is most graceful.
| Every motion is grace itself. She generally
| wears white silk, trimmed with mauve which
suits well her pale yellow hair. She is also
| attended down to the water brink by her atten-
| tive maid; but Mrs. Spencer does not plunge In.
| First she puts in one pretty sandaled foot and
| then the 9th r, until finally a high wave comes
| and carries her off.
SERGT. DUNN of the signal service Office in
New Y ork was asked by reporter to tell some
thing about the workings of the thermometer
| on what he would consider day of first-ra
| summer weather. This is the sergeant's idea of
| a really fine day: The Thermometer should reg

| hood OF ". Humidity should be about go per
cent. Add to this breeze travelling about ten
miles an hour, and you will get day that will
| make the heart of a city man rejoice ION
such day, says Sergt. Dunn "a man comes
out OF the house after good breakfast and
finds the weather delightful. Perhaps an
other man who has worked all night in some
downtown office. thinks the morning chilly and
buttons up his coat as he starts for home but
the fellow who has had his regular rest is Just

shirt-slseves if he pleases, and yet he is isn't
forced to seek the shady side Of the street con-
stantly. Seventytwo by the way, is about the
most comfortable temperature to maintain in a
house. The humidity at 60 per cent. is about
