CRACKED ICE.

People who take cracked Ice get the
stlmuius of Ice upon the nerves OF the
mouth and tongue, and not the flooding
by water Of the feeble throat and stom-
ach. Did not one ingenious nurse, at
the time q matrou In the University nos
nItai. some years ago, actually feed a
patient who revolted at the mere thought
Of food, and was starving Ia his ex.
hsustion, by deity sprlnkllng pounded
Ice over the bits OF brolled chicken that
she had prepared to tempt his tastei II
was the novelty and sparkling Ice that
carried the day. The man tasted, en-
Ioyed and ate II all. The uses OF crack
| ed Ice In cholera cases are familiar 70
some. Il Il possible that with hot
water bags at the feet, hot mush poul-
tIces on the stomach, and . constant
diet Of cracked Ice, no further treatment
may be needed to complete . cure

HINTS ON CONVERSATION,

It has been recently stated tnat con-
yersatiou ID lost art. Certainly the
llstener appears to be out Of date. Per-
sons Who have regard for the usages OF
polite society should remember that lis
tenlng Il one of the canons OF good man
ners. Observation-Disclosures 10 impolite..
Everyone ID entitled to Q fair share OF
attention paid him when converting. IL
one IL bored, courtesy demands he
should listen and appear to appreciate
the story that Il related on the subject
under discussion. A writer on social
etiquette once remarked that "nine
times out Of ten the attentive llstener 10
more admired than the most brilliant
talker."
Avoid In conversation all mention OF
your own affairs. The clever woman
guards her hearthstone, its sorrows,
troubles and annoyances a. carefully 40
she does the sacredness Of her religion.
The world admires your cheerfulness,
your attractiveness, your brightness.
Your griefs belong to yourself. They
are your inner life, which should be
closed with iron portals. Even II your
heart break, recollect the critical public
at all times likes q smiling face and
cheerful manner.-IIsrper's Bazar.
