Drinking with Meals.


The habit Of many people of drinking
large quantities of water with their
meals is very injurious. 1t is often
taken to rinse down food before 1t has
become thoroughly insalivated; it d.
lutes the digestive fluids, which neces-
sarily retards digestion, besides over
loading the stomach. Digestion Is de-
layed because the fluids must be
absorbed before the process of digestion
can begin. When soups and moist foods
are eaten it is usually best not to drink
during the meal; but if, however, q meal
is made up Of dry foods, crackers, dry
bread, zweiback, granola, ETC., it will
be advantageous to drink a small guam
tity of water during the progress Of the
meal. It is often beneficial to take .
swallows Of hot water at the close of .
meal, for heat stimulates digestion.
People who are troubled with hesviness
of the stomach often find relief by tax.

She got on tho car and immediately
unfolded her tale Of woe TO the con-

decidedly suggested the form of dead
baby and was carried in such way as to
lend color to the idea.

HOOP and the child's rapid string Of
pauseless explanations was cut short by
another fit of crying.
1t was pretty tough to make a hearse

the man hardly knew what to do, but
one of the gentlemen handed him Eve
cents and made room for the child and
her dreary burden beside him, SO her
ride was assured.

the sympathetic gentleman when the
little girl was once more quiet. "This

"And who is little Tommy"

Then the gentleman took OF his hat
and dropped big silver dollar into it.
and went around to the other passengers
and whispered: For the funeral;
they're poor people," The other pas

and quite little sum was put into the
child's hand. A sympathetic old lady
said: poor DEAR" and lifted the old

Some men always insist in buying Derby
hats with enameled sweat bands, and II
they wear them during the summer
months mild sort Of blood poisoning is
apt to result. AS mans head always
perspires very freely under the sweat
band of his hat the poison in the en-
ameling composition is softened and
released. But its unpleasant effects are
seldom noticeable there. The very fact
that the perspir alton is constantly com
ing out of those particular pores pre-
vents the poison from going in. But as
each little bead of Precipitation rolls
down his face it is charged with the
poison, and If it happens to run over a

scratched his face or cut it with a razor
the result will probably be unpleasant
4 dozen tiny pimples will appear, and
no matter how many blood purifiers he
doses himself with, his face will be
dotted with little sores, until he buys a
hat with good sweat band Straw hats
are seldom made up with the enameled
sweat bands, and that fact is another
reason why every man should wear
them In the summer. OF course. this
warning does not apply to all hats with
enameled sweat bands Some of them
are perfectly harmless, but as it Is i'm
possible to tell which are good and
which are bad without . chemical anal

NATION OF DWARFS.
The Oldest Race on the Globe Discovered
BY Explorer Stanley.

The Oldest Race on the Globe Discovered
BY Explorer Stanley.
Mr.. Stanley found them in the very
heart of the great Dark Continents
race OF queer little people not more
than four feet high. They are the old
est race known and from earliest times
they have never gone away from their
homes-little stay-at-homes we might
very well call them. Near a place called
Avetiko, on the Ituri river, his men
found the first pair of these tiny people
squatting in the midst of wild Eden,
and pealing plantains The men carried
them to the explorer sin the same
spirit" he says, ''as they would have
brought me big hawk moth for inspec-
ton. AS they stood trembling before
me 1 named the little man Adam, and
the miniature woman Eve. Poor little
thinRs Their faces said clearly as they
looked at one and the other of US:
Where have these big people come
from? Will they eat u.s.? There were
some nervous twitchings about the
angles of the nose, and quick uplifting
of the eyelids, and swift, searching
looks to know what fate was in store for
them" You may be quite sure the fears
of the little couple were quite ground
less, and they met with the kind
est of treatment from Stanley, who
describes them as follows: Little
Adam was four feet high, and Eve lit
tie less He may have weighed about
eighty-hve pounds; the color Of his body
was that Of half-baked brick, and. as
far as intelligence was concerned, he
was certainly superior to any black man
in our camp. The mysteries of wood
craft for instance, he knew better than
any Of US; he knew what wild fruits
were wholesome, and what fungi were
poisonous He could have given US val
liable lessons how to find our way
through the forest The little man
talked very briskly by signs, and gave
many proofs of mis- quick understand
ing" After this, Stanley and his men
passed through about one hundred viii
lagos inhabited by this ancient and tiny
folk, who have been able to hold their
own land for over fifty centuries
Mr.. Stanley and his companions have
been presented with medals-not of the
Round Table, but of Welsh gold-by
the Geographical Society. At a great
meeting of the highest-born and clever
est people in the land, the Prince of
Wales handed the medal with words of
| high praise to the brave man who, as a
| lad of thirteen years, once taught the
school children of Mold.-E. Y. Inde-

nina FOR days, ana it is common expert
ence that the distressing problems Of
practical life adjust themselves, as Il
were. In sleep by a more or less con-
scious process of the cerebral laboratory.
In short there is no doubt that the in
stinct guarding the welfare of the In
dividual presides over dreams as It pre-
sides over the automatic functions Of
the physical organism. The very sus-
pension of the will-power, with its
passions and prejudices, seems, In
deed. to enable an inner monitor
to decide vexing doubts in accordance
with the best permanent interests of the
sleeper. The saving crisis of dangerous
diseases which often supervenes in deep
slumber may be explained by the cir
cumstances that the complete repose of
the volitional faculties enables the or
gan1sm to concentrate all its energies
upon needed work of repair, and for
similar reasons the non-interference of
waking prejudices may give the in
stinct OF self-preservation a long desired
chance for removing baneful delusion
rs to our best interest in proposed mode
OF action, or as to the true character Of
designing fellow men. Something or
other in the looks or actions of a marked
rascal may have suggested . suspicion
OF his secret motives, though at the
time collateral circumstances obscured
that misgiving, leaving a vague, unex-
planned uneasiness as the direct result
OF such experiences But in sleep that
impression reasserts itself with a force
free from the interference of prejudice,
and for a moment removes the mask Of
false appearances; the sleeper receives
warning" Similar warnings often
correct the impressions Of false hope.
Impending perils may cast shadow
persistently ignored in a waking state,
while the mind is by the influence Of a
self-deluding optimism-the wish that's
father to the belief In the insigniflcance
of the threatening danger. But in sleep
the voice of the monitor can not be 81
fenced by such illusions, and warning
forebodings often take the form of dis
tinct visions, repeated with vividness
and frequency which at least can not
fail to influence the actions of the indi-
vidual, in spite of all waking sophisms.

Dreams Are Not Altogether Limited -
Plays of Fancy.
Sleep Is . process of restoration and
rsadjustment, and physicians well know
that the healing powers If nature assert
themselves most effectually during the
entire suppression of volitional control
characterizing . deep slumber. In
dreams, too, the absence Of direct sense
impressions and volitional interference
seems to favor an automatic function of
the brain, which, in that respect, might
be defined as a method of mental di-
gestion. And just as the process of physic-
al digestion and assimilation eliminates
the superfuous elements Of food, retain
ing only those needed for the special
purposes Of organism, the brain, during
sleep, appears to deal specially with
topics OF direct concern for the personal
interests of the sleeper, and to assert
and adjust the store of empiric impress

She IL Bitten by RattleSnAk0 and Cures
Herself.
Among the valuable dogs owned by j.
F. Coope, of Ben Lomond vineyard, is q
family Of thoroughbred wire-haired ter
riers, says the Santa Cruz Surf. These
little creatures are very bright and
among other achievements are quite ex-
pert at snake-killing. That they have
an intuitive knowledge not only how to
kill snakes, but how to heal themselves
IT q snake gets the better of an en-
counter, was proved not long since by an
incident noticed by some of the en-
ployes.
The mother terrier having discovered
rattlesnake ready coiled for spring,
placed herself at a safe distance and be-
gan barking loudly for an assistant
One Of her family Of terriers responded
to the call, when the two dogs placed
themselves one on either side of the rat
tier, barking at it and slowly approach
ing 1t from opposite directions until
within about striking distance for the
serpent. The exasperated rattler at last
sprang at the younger dog. when the
mother in great fury bounced upon the
snake. The terriers seize the serpents
about midway Of the body and shake
them without mercy until life Is ex-
tinct.
In this case the mother terrier at
tempted the usual mode of procedure,
and was fairly successful, but the fangs
of the snake in some way struck her, in
hicting a wound. 1t was evident to
those watching her that her sufferings
began at once, but she did not lose her
head with fear. She made for bunch
Of snake weed not far Oh and ate freely
OF 1t. Her next move was to pool OF
water that made small muddy spot.
Into this she plunged, rolling herself
about in every direction and covering
herself with mud. The on-lookers gave
her up for lost, but the canine physician
had healed herself, and the next morn
ing was entirely all right, as II she had
never met his rattlesnakeship in deadly

POISONING OF WELLS.

Tho Most Prolific Source Of Diseases in the
Country and Small Towns.
We propose here only to call attention
TO what we believe to be the most prolific
source of rural diseases, malarial, fune.
tionai and organic in their character.
This Is the water supply. A cesspool
eight feet deep receives the excreta of a
family, the wash from q bath room,
water closet and sink included. Thirty
or forty gallons day, eanal to nearly
1870 gallons, or 1000 cubic feet per
year of the most poisonous kind Of NTH,
are poured into this pool only eight feet
deep, and. of course, soak into the soil
and saturate it Twenty feet only from
this deadly sink Is the we'll, which is
probably several feet deeper than the
cesspool. The drainage from this
cesspool will flow then in every
direction in circle of twenty
feet radius only before it pours into the
well. For each foot in depth of this
area there are about 1900 cubic feet
In a wear the 1000 cubic feet of waste

two things can not occupy the same
space, and this filth will then be distrib-
uted over a much larger quantity Of
ground in proportion to the ratio Of
solid soil to the small interstices or
spaces among the gravel, in the mass.
Taking this ratio as only ten to one, the
1000 cubic feet of waste wS!l saturate
90. 900 cubic feet of earth in one year.
It Is true that the soil near the cess
pool will retain the largest portion Of
the solid matter, and the first water
which reaches the well will be filtered
to some extent But it Is only ques-
tion of time-the lapse of which will de-
pend upon the nature of the subsoil-
how long or how short time will elapse
before the poison pours undiluted into

FIRE FROM COTTON.

A Cargo That Destroys More Vessels Than
Any Other.
Captain Benjamin Doane, of Plain
field, N. j., who recently retired from
the command of the steamer Cherokee,
Of the Clyde line, after twenty years Of
seafaring life, furnished a Tribune re-
porter with some interesting informa-
ton about cotton fires on shipboard.
The vessels that Captain Doane COM
manded were in every case cotton car
riers of considerable capacity. From
personal observation he discovered the
cause of many fires on the coasting
shipping. Said he:
Cotton Is as infiammable as gun
powder. To my mind most cotton fires
are started when the bales are tumbled
down the hatchway into the hold. My
chief officer came to me one day and
tod me that in his opinion the iron
bindings of the cotton bales were strik-
ing fire on the stanchions in the hold as
the merchandise was tumbled down. 1
went down to see for myself. For two
hours l watched the bales of cotton as
they disappeared in the hold, and when
ever noticed bale strike a spark / or
dered the bale to be thrown aside for ex-
animation.
THE flint spark invariably burned a
hole, clean-cut as If 1t had been done
with a red-hot darning needle, which
penetrated to the center of the bale
Oftentimes the fire went out for want Of
air. Sometimes the tiny spark would
smolder for days, burning, meanwhile,
some Of the cotton in the center of the
bale before going out.
''The only way to avoid a fire from
this source is to sheath with cloth the
stanchionS below the deck. This l did,
and thereafter never had fire on board
my vessel. think few captains Of ships
know this fact; if they did they would
follow my example. Y. Tribune.
