REFLEX NERVE ACTION.
How swallow of Ice Cream Will Cause
sharp Pain in the Temple.

hOW " SWuHO" Vi 1Ce CreHm VIII Cause
sharp Pain in the Temple.
Why is it that upon taking an imprudently
large mouth ful of ice cream one is apt to
feel a sensation of violent pain in the tenn
pie? says writer in the Washington Star
The ice cream, when such a big mouthful of
it is incautiously swallowed, produces a
chilling effect upon the nerves of the larynx,
or "voice box" aud of the pharynx, in the
throat. The sensation shoots back to the
center o. those nerves in the brain; but
there it finds side connection with the
great facial nerve that starts from in front
of the ear and extends its branches over the
side of the face.
One branch of this facial nerve, extend
ing across the temple, is a nerve of sensa-
ton, while the other branches are nerves of
motion, governing chiefly the play of the
mouth. The pain from the chill is side
tracked along the nerve branch that tra-
verses the temple and the feeling is likely
to be quite agonizing in that locality for a
moment or so, very likely involving the
eyeball sympatheticelly. This feeling of a
sensation in one, nerve when another nerve
is attacked 10 what ID called ''rsfex action"

THE SWEATING PILLAR.

THE SWEATING PILLAR.
Here we saw the sweating pillar from
Heliopolis. which In summer is sometimes
covered with drops of water, and in which
they told US were the bones of st. John.
To this mosque the Sultan is obliged to come
once year, suffering torture at every step
and looking years older on his return, so
acute are his fears that some act of violence
will be attempted on his person. The Hip
podrome is the most celebrated square in the
citv, but nothing remains of its former
grandeur, except the Obelisk of Tbeodosius,
the pillar of Constantine and the serpentine
column of three twisted serpents.
The bazaars are very attractive, and
especially the grand bazaar, which is roofed
over and is a succession of narrow streets
and passages, gaily decorated with the wares
to be sold. Here are crowds of tourists bar
gaining for goods, while the oily-tongued
merchants smile and fatter and offer them
coffee and cigarettes, and always end by
cheating them more or less, according to the
shrewdness or credulity oil the buyer.
THE TURKISH BEAUTIES.
Here, too, are many Turkish ladies closely
veiled, some on donkeys and some on loot,
and some attended bv servants, a part Of
whose duty it is to report any impropriety
to the master at home. At these women.
some of whom are very handsome, English
and American men stare fearlessly. while
the etiquette of the Mohammedan requires
that he shall turn his eyes away from be-
holding the charms which belong to
his neighbor; consequently. a stolen
glance or two, when the woman is
fairer than usual, is all he dares to
indulge in. The ladies, however. are not
so careful, and their eyes, which often have
coquettish twinkle in them. as il chal-
lenging admiration, look curiously over the
wells drawn across the nose, and which. as
they are often of some white. thin material,
scarcely conceal the features they are in
tended to hide.
1t would take too long, in an article like
this, to tell of all we saw in that strange
city built on many hills, with one hand
touching Asia, where Scutari lies. and the
other holding part of Europe in its grasp.
The days we spent there were delight ul
days and full of interest, and they come
back TO me over and over again, as does the
lovely sunset which shown on mosque and
dome and minaret and palace, and gave to
sky and sea brilliant colorIng of violet
crimson as we sailed in the golden light
through the Bosphorus and out upon the
Marmora on our way to Athens.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Weary of the care and sorrow,
Weary of the constant pain;
L would pass away tomorrow
With the changes / might gain.
Short, at best. the life before US,
We must live it to the end
Primal thoughts that hover DER US.
Which like lightning strokes descend.
True, there comes strong temptation;
'TiS to end this ceaseless strife:
Whether rich or great our station,
Whether old or young in life
Years cannot our hope once brighten,
When the JOYS of life have fled,
Naught can then our burdens tighten
Till we're numbered with the dead.
Yet there is silver lining,
Yet there comes quiet morn;
Why this ceaseless, sad repinlng?
Time will heal the hearI-strings torn.
And our spirit. final, soaring
To the realms of brightest day,
Shall in measures sweet adoring,
Pass the cycling years away.

CAUSE OF SEA SICKNESS

The Latest Theory is That the Blood Has
Much to Do With IL.
The causes and philosophy of sea sickness
have always been great puzzle; but the most
generally received theory at present is that
the trouble is due to the Inequality of
pressure in the blood vessels In a craft
tossing on the waves the blood is made to
flow first this way and then that, naturally
producing disturbance. As for remedies
nothing has been discovered that is more
effectivethan the traditional piece of salt
pork on the end of string.

AT BEAUTIFUL ST. SOPHIA.

The mosque OF St. Sophia, which stands
near the old Seraglio, is, perhaps, the most
interesting building in Constantinople. 1t
is in the form Of Greek cross, and the GEN.
tral dome is $50 feet above the floor, and
must once have been much higher, as the
gilded cupola could be seen 100 miles out at
sea, and was landmark Tor ships coming
up the harbor. Inside it is very beautiful,
with its columns OF marble and granite and
porphysy, some brought from Heliopolis
and Baalbec and Athens, and others from
the Temple of Diana atEphesus. Near the
entrance is the marble fountain where the
faithful were washing their feet, while we,
the infdels, the Gentle dogs, shufled about
in large felt shoes, closely followed by an
attendant, who seemed to have a special
antipathy to myself as the only woman in
the party.
As a rule Mohammed women are not ad-
mitted to the mosques, and when they are
they usually sit in the galleries, with their
faces yelled and only their bright eyes
visible to the masculine crowd below. We
were fortunate in reaching the mosque at
an hour when so many were prostrating

Hints to Housekeepers.

To CLEAN lamp tops andburners,. -.
ommon salt and strong vinegar mixed,
and rub them we'll, then rinse in soap
suds, and rub dry; they will look like
new ones, and do not cost much.
To WASH lace curtains: After wash
ing and starching hang on the line when
there is some wind, but not enough to
blow the starch out. Hang by the side
edge, and put pins near enough to keep
the edge straight, then gently pull them
out with the hands, md they will dry
very quick. When dry, smooth with
moderately hot iron.
FAsTEN one of the cheap, three-fold
towel racks securely to the kitchen wall,
near the stove, and it will serve to hang
your jelly-bag, which should be pro-
vided with four loops of strong tape in
place of the usual strings. Slip the two
loops opposite each other on the outer
arms of the rail, and the alternate ones
on the middle arm. You will find it far
more convenient than tying the bag to
the back or legs Of chairs.
To WASH dishes quickly: Dishpan
nearly full hot water, and awhite cloth;
spread a large, thick towel over the
table at one side. Wash dishes quickly
and turn upon the towel to drain. Dry
knives, forks and spoons, wash and
wipe pans, etc. Pour out the water,
spread wiping towel over the dishes and
leave them. After a while you may set
them away if you like, for if the water
was warm and clean, they will be dry
and shining.

The Prevention CT Sunstroks.


The following hints for the preven-
ton OF sunstroke are given by DIR. Ed
win c. Mann, of New York City, in an
article upon this subject in one of the
medical journals: ITO avoid sunstroke
exercise in excessively hot weather
should be very moderate; the cloth ing
should be thin and loose, and an album
dance of cold water should be drunk.
Workmen and soldiers should under
stand that as soon as they cease to per-
spire while working or marching in the
hot sun, they are in danger of su%nstroke,
and they should immediately drink
freely and copiously, to afford matter
for cutaneous transpiration; keep the
skin and clothing wet with water. In
pending sunstroke may often be warded
OFT by these simple measures. Besides
the cessation of perspiration, the pupils
are apt to be contracted and there is q
frequency of micturition, If there is
marked exhaustion with q weak pulse,
resulting from the cold water applica-
ton, We should administer stimnlants.
The free use of water, however, both
externally and internally, by those ex-
posed to the direct rays of the sun is
the best prophylactic against sunstroke,
and laborcrs and soldiers and others
who adopt this measure, washing their
hands and faces as we'll as drinking
copiously of water every time they come
within reach of it, will generally eniov
perfect immunity from sunstroke.
Straw hats should be worn. ventilated
at the top, and the crown Of the hat
filled with green leaves or wet sponge.
1t is better to wear thin flannel shirts
in order not to check perspiration. We
may expose ourselves for u long time il
the hot sun and work or sleep in {
heated room and enjoy perfect i'm.
munity from sunstroke if We keep ou1
skin and clothing wet with water"
