fluids into the system there should be a
light diet composed largely of vegetables
and fruit. Salads, berries, and raw fruit
of any kind are good. Eggs in various
forms, fish, lean bacon, and lean light
meats will make cheap and comfortable
diet. This diet may be favored through
motives of economy as well as reasons Of
comfort and health. Roasts, steaks, and
heavy meats are amongst the most costly
Of foods. SO are elaborate desserts and
fancy dishes. Simple things like omolcts,
broiled bacon in strips as long as ones
hand, Strawberries, salads and tae like
are cheap as we'll as better for the health.
Heavy and fatty soups have no place in
the summer time diet. They makes meal
by themselves. Such things as clam
chowder are good to eat and are sustain
ing, but they should not be followed by
heavy dinner. 1t is more than the
system can stand on hot day when it is
pretty well occupied in taking care of
itself. Thin, clear soups are good with
a reasonable interval between them and
the next course and the absence Of
bread and butter with the soup.
The observance Of these simple sug-
gestions does not call for great self
denial and it is repaid by an enormous
increase in comfort. Let any mau who
is accustomed to allaying his thirst by
copious draughts Of ice water and various
artificial waters with sweet syrups, try
the effect of drinking hot water in the
morning before breakfast as much as he
can comfortably take, and not drink
anything else during the day. 1t may be
hard for the first two or three days, but
he will find how it reduces his dscom-
fort in hot weather. Ii he cannot drink
enough water in the morning to last him
until the next morning let him drink
more water at night just before going to
bed. The human organism is much like
a piece Of machinery, requiring care. and
if man occasionally would regard his
physical functions in that light he would
get good deal more enjoyment out of
them and out of life than most of his
fellows now do.

Why Stars &c TwinIxle."

If we look intently at bright star we
notice that the color and intensity of the
light is constantly changing from bril-
liancy to almost total obscurity, aud
from bright red to blue, orange, yellow,
etc. This is the phenomenon usually
spoken of as the twinkling" or scin-
tillation of the stars. The "twinkling'
will be noticed more plainly when the
star is near the horizon, and will d.
minish in intensity as it rises until it is
near the zenith, at which time the twink
ling is scarcely noticeable. 1t must be
confessed that this twinkling has never
been explained to the satisfaction of all
investigators. However, it is generally
believed to be due to controlling causes
within the earth's atmosphere. That the
cause may be looked for within the belt
of air that surrounds our planet Ito par
ticles of vapor, dust, etc. may be in
ferred from the fact that the planets
never exhibit the characteristic twinkling
so noticeable in the star. Oae reason for
this is the size (apparent of the planets.
The planets each show sensible disk
even to the naked eye while the strong
est instrument in the world only shows
the stars as being mere points of light.
This being the case, any foreign sub
stance in the atmosphere would moment
ariIy hide the light and make the star
appear to twinkle. ~ St. Louis Re-
nublic.

The Guarantee Held Good.

Nearly half century ago maiden
lady residing in Roxborough purchased
an axe from George Davis, a hardware
dealer in Manayunk. The axe was in
constant service, and by its many trips
to the grindstone was worn down until
the steel blade was no longer of use.
Yesterday the old lady carried the pole
or head of the axe to Manayunk to have
a new blade inserted. Meeting friend
he advised her to 60 to Davis's store,
now kept by two sons of the former pro-
prietor, and get a new one in exchange,
as the old one was warranted to last
lifetime. The two Davis brothers pro-
tested against exchanging, while the
lady vchementIy urged her rights. A
large crowd soon copyrighted, every one
siding with the woman. She finally
triumphed, and walked out of the store
with a brand new article, waving it
above her head as an emblem of her vic
tory over the firm.- Philadelphia Rec

The Distance Of Thunderstorm.

Although lightning and thunder occur
always simultaneously, an interval of
shorter or longer duration is usually OBJ
served between these two phenomena,
which is due to the fact that sound tray
els only at the rate Of l, 100 feet per
second, while the passage Of light is al
most instantaneous. Based upon this fact
it is an easy matter to tell at least approx
mately how many miles thunderstorm
is away.
A normal pulse will beat about one
stroke to the second, and by counting
the pulse beats during the intervals of
the lightning and the thunder the lapse
of seconds is arrived at, and consequently
the number of feet, which can be re-
duced to miles. For example: If thirty
seconds elapse between the flash of the
lightning and the crash of the thunder
the storm center is at distance of
33, 600 feet or about six and half miles.
An almost accurate calculation cen be
made with using watch with a minute
dial. list. Louis Post Dispatch.

CALLED 1T WHITE RAIN
A Visitor to This Country WHO Had Never
Seen Snow Before.

A Visitor to This Country Who Had Never
Seen Snow Before.
Among the arrivals on the steamer
Gaelic at San Francisco recently was
the nobleman Raden Admin, son Of
the powerful chieftain Natodi Laga,
of Java. He is arrayed in the curious
manner OF his countrymen, with SAN
dals on his feet, decked with gold, a
sarong bound around his loins, and
gold and diamond buttons on his coat.
Admin, the nobleman, is daunt
less, intrepid-lookinR man of about 80
years. He is tall and has an intel
lectual-looking face. Admin has never
been in America before, and speaks
no English. A. r. Kirkhoven, how
ever, fellow cOuntryman who is
travelling with him, told all about
him. He said that the nobleman
lived in Sutaboime, had a wife and
two children, and feeling 1T incum-
bent on himself to enlighten his mind
on the condition Of the world, has set
out, like Haroun- al Raschid, to be
gone for many months. With this
end in view he will visit Chicago,
New York, Ro5ton, and other cities
Of the United States, and may extend
his trip beyond the Atlantic.
"On the second day out from Yo-
Hohama," said his companion, when
we were about $40 miles from land,
we ran into a violent snowstorm.
When the nobleman, Admin, saw the
fakes fall upon the deck he thought
1t was the most remarkable thing
that could happen, and called the
dakes white rain. He had never seen
snow before. Later, when he saw the
passengers grasp the snow, press it
together into balls, and throw it
about he was amazed. Admin found
It pretty cold aboard ship"

1t is common error that the roots
Of trees extend only as far from the
trunk as the length Of the branches;
the truth is that they are usually

before breakfast and to wait for the re-
action from it. The reaction from hot
drinks and hoJ baths is cooling just as
the reaction from iced drinks and cold
baths is warming. Everybody knows
how in the winter a cold shower or
cold plunge, with rub down to hasten
the reaction, brings glow and a feeling
of warmth which lasts for some time. In
the same way hot shower or a hot bath,
not prolonged too much, in its reaction
brings feeling of GOODNESS. A contrast
between the temperature of the bath and
the temperature of the air, always brings
a sensation OF heat or cold, according AS
the bath or the air is the cooler. SO,
drinking very hot water in the morning,
by its reaction brings about cool feel
ing. This is aside from the other ad-
van'ages of drinking hot water.
AS far as possible during the summer
cold drinks should not be taken with
meals. Cold drinks taken with food on
a hot day stop the action of the stomach
for awhile and then bring about an ua
comfortable feeling of warmth The
cold water first causes the blood vessels
of the stomach to contract, and then
with the reaction the blood vessels be-
come diluted and there is an uncomfort-
able sense of oppression and heat, which
leads to the drinking of more ice water
and to renewed oppression and heat.
The best way to get the amount of water
necessary for the system is to take it hot

then to drink nothing more during the
