WHAT TO EAT IN HOT WEATHER.
An English Physician Speaks of Fluids
and Plenty of Fruit.

mer would in that case of course almost
universally apply.
The most suitable articles for hot
weather are fish, such kinds of meat as
fowls and game, green vegetables, salads
and fruit. Farinaceous food-that is,
starches-should be taken in the very
smallest quantity only. Sufficient sugar
would be found in the different fruits
that the season Of the year produces, and
therefore should not be supplemented
In the case of a man of ordinary size,
doing ordinary physical or mental work,
the following would represent an ordi-
nary days food for hot weather as far
as quantity and constituents are con-
cerned:
Breakfast-Two cups of tea or coffee,
sweetened with saccharine, one or two
teaspoonfuls of cream in each, one ounce
Of dry toast, thinly buttered; four ounces
of grilled or boiled fish, such as place,
sole, whiting, paddock, cod or trout, or
four ounces of cold chicken, cold tongue
or grilled steak or chop.
Lunch-Two or three ounces of cold
mutton, beef or lamb; three or four
ounces of green vegetables plainly boil.
ed; plenty of green salad, made with
vinegar, but without oil; four or five
ounces of stewed fruit; water, or two or
three glasses of pure dry Moselle or
other Rhine wines.
Afternoon tea, if desired-Two cups
of tea, as at breakfast, nothing to eat.
Dinner-Julienne, or clear vegetable
soup; three or four ounces of fish; three
or four ounces of any red meat, or
chicken, rabbit, game or venison; six
ounces of any green vegetable, with
gravy from the meat only; four ounces
of stewed fruit or of raw fruit; a little
stale or pulled bread and small piece
of cheese.
This diet may be varied as to hour,
but three meals only should be eaten
daily, and only sufficient at each meal
to satisfy the appetite.
Fruit may, however, be taken at
proper times, and, although it is much
more popular now as food than it used
to be, it is only beneficial in moderate
quantity. More find is, of course

Nokes questions whether too much can
be taken. Fluid in this way is to the
kidneys what fresh air is to the lungs,
and the waste Of meat not used in the
system is carried off by its aid. A meat
diet is healthy and life prolonging if
supplemented with plenty of fluid to
carry off its waste. That fluid should
be taken in large quantities in the sum.

quent baths to keep the pores open. In
the summer acidulated drinks are the
most grateful to the palate. There can
be no doubt that the most refreshing
beverage in summer, and certainly the
most harmless, is the properly made cup
of tea.
In every well appointed household
dinner is the most important meal of
the day, but fashion in regard to this
has lately crept into use which is neither
physiologically correct nor conducive to
its enjoyment.
l refer to the custom now prevalent of
commencing dinner with some anchovy
toast, caviare, or sardines on bread and
butter, or some other savory Of like
nature. The proper commencement of
dinner should be the old fashioned dish
of good soup-and for this reason that
it is necessary that the first food taken
at dinner should be quickly absorbed, so
as to stimulate the nervous system and
give tone to the stomach. In this way
the appetite is stimulated and the sense
of taste made more keen. Nothing acts
so beneficially for tins purpose as a
small quantity of good soup. The more
important adjuncts are, Of course, pleas
ant surroundings and cheerful compan-
ionship.-Dr. Nokes in Gentleman's
Magazine.
The analysis by chemists at the State
Agricultural college, of sugar beets
raised in Iowa shows 14.41 per cent. of
sugar, which is not often excelled in the
best beet growing countries of Europe.
Lighthouses are classified by orders
depending on the height and diameter
of the lighting apparatus. There are
four orders. The first three are used for
sea or coast lights and the fourth for
harbor purposes.
