A Mistaken Notion

1t should be distinctly understood that
the idea that ice water is injuriou is a
mistaken notion, imported with other

names and tails, drawing the vowels and
the stony British stare" Spinsters with
chronic indigestion, stout women with
their interiors in a state of constant in
nammation, men whose stomachs are in.
hamed and people getting over the grip,
with Intervals weak, feyered and irritable
to an Incredible degree rightly find ice
water injurious, as cold well water would
be poured over patient in high fever, or
rather like throwing cold water on red
hot boiler. Cold water is intolerable to an
intamed eye, which finds warm water
soothing, and inflamed stoEaachs rebel
against sudden chilling druughts in the
same way, but nobody feels that cold water
is unsafe for healthy eyes or healthy
throats.-Shirley Dare in New York

II is coming TO the minds of the people
that there Is something radically wrong in
tue provisions Of our legislative system.
Wbal was reasonable and logical In former
times when the republic was Young and
uudeveloped isbow unreasonable. illogical
and unjust There was reason half u
century ago. in the provisions that legis-
lators elected should not be called upon
ia assume their duties until months after
the time Of their election. In those days
there were great difficulties and obstacles
connected with travel. But now the
whole territory of the United States is
literally covered with network Of iron
T lis, and trains rush with lightning speed
between all points at convenient times.
The developement of the telegraph. tele-
phone and mail system makes communi-
cation easy so that now no reason exists
for delay on the part of Legislators, and
other officers of cur government in assum-
ing their duties AS speedily ms may
be after the people have expressed the I
will ut the polls. This is now the sensi
bile way. Under the present style poll.

the polls by the people who ire theoreii
cally the rulers. And yet those who have
been rejected and repndiattd, as was TIT
case last month. may continue in Office
and power. and make laws which are Of
fensive. and not acceptable to the people
They may continue to do this from the
first Tuesday in November in one veal
until the month of March in the year fol,
lowing. In no other country than Cur
own can this be done When the time
comes for the people to give expression &c
their Will, and an election is held. i'm,
medlartly thereafter. with no delay what
ever. the officers VIII m they select should

While the Germans were laying siege to
Paris about twenty years ago NJ. Theirs
came out of the city TO consult with Bis
marck about the proposed capitalization
OF course IL was the Frenchman's duty to
present "a cheerful front and to seek to con-
vey the impression that things were not in
so desperate condition in Paris as the be-
siegerS might suppose. On the other hand,
Bismarck was pretty well satisfied that the
besieged Parisiaus were being starved out,
but OF course he inJimated no such thing
in the presence of NJ. Theirs. But after
the conference Bismarck invited NJ. Thiers
TO dinner, and the Frenchman only too
gayly accepted the invitation
Then il was that the willy German no
ticed that NJ Theirs ate voraciously of the
vegetables and breads rejected the canned
and picked foods, and partook with seem
ing avidity of the fresh meat. This con-
firmed Bismark's suspicions-Paris was
starving. After M. Theirs went back into
