Drinks for Thirst in Fever.

To allay the thirst engendered by the
fever in influenza, where wine is allowed,
there are few things better than siphons of
champagne. says an English writer on
dietetics.
Milk for grown folk, at all events, will
always be more acceptable when mixed
with settler, soda or other effervescent
water, in the proportion of one part water
10 two of milk.
Tamarind water (made by boiling two
ounces of tamarinds with one-Qusrter
pound Of stoned raisins in three pints Of
water for an hour and then straining IT'D,
or black currant and arrowrooG drink Qor
which boil two tabiespoonfuls OF black cur
rant jam in quart of water; then cover it
and let it simmer gently for half an hour,
when it must be strained, brought again to
boiling point. and lastly poured boiling on
to q teaspoonful of arrowroot previously
rubbed smooth in a little cold water, the
whole being stirred all the time the boiling
liquid is being added and used when cold)
will be found most acceptable.
Fruit drinks, and fruit when permitted,
are much appreciated; but IN severe cases,
where with children, especially the lips and
mouth are often much swollen and very
sore, grapes should be stoned and skinned
before given to the patient.

Railway Station Indicators.

Every railway traveller knows the dis
comfort and annoyance which are caused
by hurried attempt to discover the name
of a stopping place. On cold, windy night,
as the train draws into a station, one may
have to lower the window, shout frantical-
" to a porter, and perhaps learn when
once more in motion that this very station
is ones destination after all Or one NAV
be crossing England from the north with
an elderly nervous lady, who will ask at
intervals from the border downward,
"How many more stations is it to London,
please?"
In the early days of the railroad, before
station names were overshadowed, as they
now are, by the staring advertisements CT
traders, this feature of railway travel at
tracted the attention of inventors Thirty
years ago two Frenehmen patented in this
country device-for which they secured
provisional protection only-for placing
in each compartment an apparatus operated
upon by the guard or other official in such
manner as TO bring the name of each sta
ton in succession into view before the train
arrives.
Since that time scores of ingenious az
tempts have been made to solve the prob
lem of a station indicator, and at least
thNee dozen Of them have been accepted by
the patent Office as novel combinations.
Inventiveness in this direction has not been
confined to engineering experts; many a
mana florist or a photographer, a wool
stapler or 4 game dealer-has set his wits
to work to overcome the evil. Although
automatic arrangements of this sort are to
be met with here and there in the states,
British railway men have not hitherto
shown much eagerness for this needful re-
form.-Cbambers' journal

For exclusively parlOr use q good lantern
may be obtained for SIS, which will give
picture or feet in diameter. For S25 one
may purchase a sciopticon suitable for use
in small halls and capable of producing
picture 10 or u feet across. A sciopticon
of the highest class, with an oil lamp or
lime Jet, would cost 500 or more, and
would give a picture 20 feet in diameter at
q distance of 125 feet. A pair of sciopti-
cons used together for dissolving views
form piece of apparatus known as a ste
reopticon. Prices of stereopticons range
from $50 to $500, and triple lantern, used
for fancy effects, will cost you from $50 to
81, 900, according to the needs Of your bust
ness For hall exhibitions, however, the
low priced lantern does ali the work of a
high class one, and pair of good SIS sci
opticons may be used very effectively in

ChiraIrv In a RootbIack.

On the corner of one Of the business
streets of the city the other morning a
shoeblack had just finished polishing the
shoes of well dressed and gentle appear
ing man. The latter was unfortunate in
having deformity which compelled him
TO wear shoe on one Of his feet with an
exceedingly thick sole, thus endesvoring
to make up mechanically for whaa na-
ture had denied him.
How much shall pay your ne asked
Of the boy.
Five cents. sir"
''Oh, but you should have more than
FIVE cents for polishing my shoes said
the gentleman, tapping the thick sole
significantly with his cane.
mo, sir, said the boy; five cents is
enough. don't want to make no money
out o your hard luck"
The customer handed ont coin, laid
his hand on the youngsters head for
moment and passed On.

The Best Half of Life.

The best half of life is in front of the man
of forty, if he be anything of man, says
The Hospital. TIE work ne will do will DO
done with the hand Of a master, and not of
raw apprentice. The trained intellecs
does not see ''men as trees walking" but
sees everything clearly and in just measure
The trained temper does not rush at work
like a blind bull at a haystack, but adj
yances with the calm and ordered peace OF
conscious power and deliberate determins-
ton. To no man is the world so new and
the future so fresh as 10 him who has spent
the early years of his manhood IN striving
to understand the deeper problems OK
science and life, and who has made some
Roadway toward comprehending them. To
him the commonest things are rare and
wonderful, both in themselves and as parts
of beautiful and intelligent whole. Such
a thing as staleness in life and its duties
he cannot understand. knowledge is al
ways opening out before him in wider ex-
paDses and more commanding heights
The pleasure Of growing knowledge and in
creasing power makes every year Of bis
life happier and more hopeful than the
last.

ABOUT suNsTRoKE.

Some of It's Causes and Measures for It's
Prevention.
Among probable causes OF sunstroke
enumerated by The Lancet are the presence
OF stagnant atmosphere, excess in diet, as
tending TO retard tissue changes, pulmon-
airy oppression 6y clothing with consequent
mal-aeration, great physical exhaustion
with cardiac fatigue, and the consumption,
even in moderate amount, of alcoholic
liquors during hot weather. The hshitual
wearing of somewhat loose porous cloth
ing, by encouraging Precipitation and assist
ing the removal Of its products, will also
contribute materially toward the reduction
of the general temperature. IL is needful
to keep in view the extreme sensitiveness
OF the cerebro spinal nerve centers, eSps-
cialIy those of the medulla. The means by
which protection can best be accomplished
call for brief notice. Among these may
be mentioned the adoption of the familiar
white veil behind and over the head, the
interposition of wet white linen cloth be-
tween head and hat and the etfectual ven
nlation Of the latter.
