In most of the treatise upon corpulency
it is advised that the quantity of fluids of
all kinds be reduced to the lowest degree
consistent with comfort Corpulent peo-
pie Influenced by this are quite apt to carry
the restriction too far. A certain quantity
of water is essential to life and health, and
if too great denial is practiced, injury is
sure TO result. "A safe rule when trying to
take off fat is to drink at least half pint of
water as hot as possible in the morning on
getting out of bed, and another just before
retiring at night. This quantity, with
what is taken with the meals will be quite
enough to meet natures requirements
As for fluids between meals, very little
of them will be needed if the diet is prop
erly restricted and the overworked diges-
tive organs are favored just as soon as
their burdens are lightened they will grow
stronger, and with the renewal in strength
the intense thirst will disappear Weak
tea. on account of the hot water, is recon-
mended with the meals As for wines,
corpuient people are better of without
them: of all kinds, probably good claret is
the least Objectionable.
The diet to which corpulent people usu-
ally restrict themselves is one which rather
favors sluggishness of the bowels; there
fore a mild laxative is generally needed, at
least for time Considering the dyspep-
sia and bilous tendency which are so init
mately related to corpulency, the Carlsbad
salts suggest themselves as serviceable
remedy The imported comes in small
bottles. which sell at retail for about sew

Of hot water is quite enough for dose, and

several weeks.-Boston Herald

Capturing a Seal.

Seals occasionally paddle into New
York bay and through the Narrows TO
take look at the great city. but it is an
uncommon thing for them to climb out
of the water to get a land view, and
those that prove exceptions to this rule
generally come to grief A big fellow
nearly FIVE feet long started on an ex-
ploring expedition near Fort Wads-
worth recently, and it had not made
much progress inland before a Staten
island boy caught sight of it, lie was
much swifter of foot than the seal was of
fin-at least ON land-and he soon came
up with it. For fourteen-year-oldb boy
to capture alive a seal nearly as tall as
himself is no light task, but the boy
thinks he would have succeeded. How
ever, a boatman thought otherwise, and
with an AK killed the poor creature,
which died with a look of forgiveness
in its large. mournful eyes that all seals
assume when prosecuted by man. The
boy has the skin as a trophy, but he
would rather have had the seal as a pet.

The young men who have taken upon
themselves the task of amusing and en-
tertaining the public on the evening of
the Fourth of July are working with a
will to make their mardi-gras display a
success, and they promise that it will not
be disappointment
Those who are engineering the diabol-
ical scheme have had experience in that
line, and should be able to give the pub
lie full value for their money, as no
doubt they will.
As there will be no public fireworks on
that night, it is the intention to make that
one of the features of the mardi-gras, and
people along the line are expected to con-
tribute their share of pyrotechnics.
The Mardi-Gras Committee met on
Saturday and nearly completed arrange
ments for the display. 1t was resolved to
have all the fireworks in the line of march
possible with the means at their COM
mand. They proceeded to authorize eX-
penditures on the basis of the collections
made, and the sum appropriated by the
General Committee. Even then they ex-
pect to fall short some $lO0 or more.
