Drinks.

Thejuice of various acid fruits, mixed
with sugar and water, make during the
warm weather, delicious and whole.
some beverages. They seem to have
the power OF quenching %thethirst, and
at the same time give a small amount
of nourishment to the blood. Ice
water, or even very cold water, if
taken plain, is bad, and will disorder
the entire system, while the cold fruit
drinks do not so quickly disagree; by
the way nothing in the form OF
summer drink is more healthful and
strengthening than butte-milk. 1t
strengthens and stimulates the weak
stomach, and aids, rather than re.
tards digestion. II persons knew the
value OF buttermilk, l an sure more
people would use it freely; in fact, 1
have known in some cases of in
digestion to be entirely cured by the
free use OF buttermilk, and for those
who are troubled with insomnia it is
an e%xcellant drink, it quiets the nerves
and produces q sense of rest. 1t is u
peculiar thing; persons who like it,
never tire of singing it's praise, and its
enemies eve weary OF wondering
how persons can like it.-Tahle Talk.

periine broad cloth, handsomely

they are so badly taken here, that l
an convinced it would be OF little

take measure OF q gentleman who

ing size, 80 wit: Six feet high, and
proportionately made; if anything,
rather slender than thick fora person
OF that highth, with pretty long arms
and thighs. You will take care to

The Most Curious Case.

Perhaps the most curious salvage
Ease on record is that of the ship
Two Friends, which stranded ON the
Coast OF Cuba and was abandoned by
her crew. Another ship, the John
Blake, met a similar fate, and her
crew in attempting to find q landing
place, came across the Two Friends,
which they managed to get off and to
navigate to England without further
mishap. The Judge who tried the case
decided that sal rage services had been
rendered, but o fonly ordinary difficult
ty and merit, inasmuch as the crew of
the John Blake saved the Two Friends
i'll order to save their own lives. The
owners of the John Blake of course
got nothing, but the s%alving crew re-
ceived 1850 out of the total value of
91,237--New Orleans Picayune.
