USES OF WATER.
It's Proper Application Aids the Economy
of Nature Greatly.

The human body is constantly un-
dergoing tissue changes. WORKOUT
particles are cast aside and eliminated
from the system. while the new are
ever being formed, from the inception
of life to its close, says HATS journal
Of Health.
Water has the power of increasing
these tissue changes, which multiplies
the waste products, but at the same
time they are renewed by its agency,
giving rise to increased appetite, which
in turn provides fresh nutrment. Per-
sons but little accustomed to drinking
water are liable to have the waste
products formed faster than they are
removed. Any obstruction to the free
working of natural laws at once pro-
duces disease, which. If once firmly
seated. requires both time and money
to cure.
People accustomed to rise in the
morning weak and languid will find
the cause in the imperfect secretion OF
wastes. which many times may be
remedied by drinking full tumbler
of water before retiring. This very
materially assists in the process DUR
ing the night, and leaves the tissues
fresh and strong, ready for the active
work of the day
Hot water is one of our best reme-
dial agents.
A hot bath on going to bed, even in
the hot nights of summer, is better
reliever of insomnia than many drugs.
Infamed parts will subside under
the continual poultcing of real hot
water.
Very hot water, as we all know, is a
prompt checker of bleeding, and be-
sides, if it is clean, as it should be, it
aids in sterilizing wounds.

How a Bank Run Was Stopped.

This is good story how a smart
New York drummer stopped run on
a little western bank. The CONNER
cial traveller arrived in the town just
when the excitement over the bank
was at its height. There was really no
cause for the run; the bank was per-
fectly solvent. but the presidents
good friend of the New Yorker-real-
lied that, if the senseless withdrawal
of the funds was not straightway
stopped, it would be but question of
n few hours before the bank would be
forced to suspend payment. Imme-
date action was necessary, and the
drummer proved to be the man of the
hour. His offer of assistance was
eagerly accepted by the president and
he was given all due liberty. OFF
went the drummer and in few min
utes he returned with the town asses
sor, who Immediately fell in with his
plan. The assessor was stationed vii h

see you were only assessed at having
$1,000 cash, while you have just with
drawn over $4,000" OF course the
whole line of depositors heard the
colloquy at the teller's window. In a
minute man dropped out of his place
and left the bank. Then another went
out Then they began to slip out by
twos and threes and in few minutes
there was no line left. The bank WAS
saved.

Wild Pigeons.

The largest neslings he ever visited
was in 1879 or 1877. 1t began near
Petoskev and extended northeast past
Crooked lake for twenty-eight miles,
avera ying three or four miles wide.
The birds arrived in two separate bod.
les, one directly from the south by
land, the other following the east coast
of Wisconsin and crossing at Manitou
island. He saw the latter body come
in from the lake at about O'Clock in
the afternoon. 1t was a compact mass
of pigeons at least five miles long by
one mile wide. The birds began build
ing when the snow was twelve inches
deep in the woods, although the fields
were bare at the time.
So rapidly did the colony extend its
boundaries that it soon passed literally
over and around the place where he
was netting, although, when he began,
this point was several miles from the
nearest nest. Nestings usually start
in deciduous woods, but during their
progress the pigeons do not skip any
kind of trees they encounter The
Petoskey nesting extended eight miles
through hardwood tim Der, then crossed
river bottom, wooded with arbor
vitae, and thence stretched through
white-pine woods about twenty miles.
For the entire distance of twenty-eight
miles every tree of any size had more
or less nests and many trees were filled
with them. None was lower than
about fifteen feet above the ground.
At least 500 men were engaged in
netting pigeons during the great Pc
toskey nesting of 1881. Mr.. Stevens
thought that they may nave captured
on an average 10000 birds apiece DUR
ing the season. Sometimes two car
loads were shipped south on the rail-
road each day. Nevertheless, he be-
lieved that not one bird in thousand
was taken. Hawks and owls often
abound near the nesting. Owls can
be heard hooting there all night

In our country, and in the times in
which we live, those who aspire to the
position of rising young statesmen have
not much leisure to devote to the reali-
cation of other ideals while the session
lasts, and Percy Thorold often congratu-
lated himself that he had no other ideals
to realize. Of the pleasures of society
supposing, for the sake of argument
that society has any pleasures-he had
made a more or less public renunciation
so that he now considered himself alb
solved from even answering invitations
which his duties rendered it impossible
to accept
One must. however, dine sometimes
with official persons; and it was at the
house of an official person that he was
introduced TO n middle aged lady of be-
nevolent aspect whom he was requested
to escort to the dining room. That this
lady's name CHANGED to be Leslie did not
at first cause him to connect her with
the girl whom he had met at Lady Bel
voir's. and with whom he had been so
favorably impressed; but after he had
been sitting beside her for FIVE or ten
minutes, and had made such converse
ton as can be made for the benefit of
unknown middle aged ladies, his flag
cling attention was aroused by her re-
vealing her identity.

TO BE CONTINUED.


The old-fashioned notion in relation
to the impoliteness of taking the last
upon the plate has entirely exploded
1t is now regarded as a reflection
upon the hostess. Should one refuse
to take the last piece, merely be-
cause it was the last, it would seem
to intimate that the hostess had
provided so poorly that if YOU were
TO take that, some one else must ba
deprived; and to take it, intimates
that you feel quite sure the house

THE BELIEVER IN BARE FEET.
Lectures on His Water Cure Delivered
Recently In Berlin.

Pastor Kneipp, the famous water
doctor from Worrishofen in Bavaria,
the modern place of pilgrimage of the
water enthusiasts of all countries, has
come to give three lectures here to his
followers on the wonderful effect OF
his water cures, says Berlin CORE
spondent of the London Nea0s. Nearly
1900 persons assembled to hear from
Father Kneipp's own lips the myster-
les of his system.
Pastor Kneipp makes very sympa-
thetic impression. His long black cas-
sock covers medium sized strong
body, on which rests an energetic
head. Although his hair is rather
gray his bushy eyebrows are deep
black. From The way he holds him.
self and his lively movements nobody
would take Pfarrer Kneipp to be ~
years of age. He is wandering adj
vertisement for his doctrine, to which,
as he says, he owes his life and strength
and which he has lived up to since
1872
He said that what could not be cured
with water was altogether incurable.
Water was the panacea for all these
evils. A good remedy must be every
where easily available, especially to
the poor. 1t must be able to be borne
and suited to the different complaints.
Herr Kneipp comes to the conclusion
that hydropathy, and especially his
method, unites all these advantages.
He insisted that he was not medical
man. He had never read medical
work. He himself had been given up
as incurable forty-seyen years ago. He
had cured himself with water, and his
love for his neighbor had led him to
apply the same cure to his fellow-men.
And good results had proved that his
method was the only right one.
Finally Pastor Kneipp pleaded for
the use of simple food and clothes, as
these things, combined with the use of
water, would produce healthy hui
man race. For Pastor Kneipp hydro
pathy is the alone saving principle
which can be applied everywhere. AS
one wants nothing but bath, wa
tering can, two rough towels and wa
ter, one can apply it at home and in
the hospital. 1t costs nothing and
needs no fine building. an my old

as long as the stack is open as it is

no ebullitions, no boilings over TO
cool the ardor of her public spirited
citizens. Her successes have become
noted and her undertakings are syno-

are along this line
The Fourth just past and gone into
history was patriotically and success
fully observed. The elaborate and
and varied programme arranged for
the days celebration and sports was
carried out 10 the fullest extent Of the
days length. The morning exercises
in the court house we're 10 perfect
harmony with the celebrations OBJ
served for more than q century past
in the cities nearest the scenes which
made the day memorable and never
TO be.forgotten. Dr. Giyens presided,

In the afternoon the races, running

the day and evening were unrestrain-

and will long be remembered.

Blacktoot was profuse in her deco.

Idaho Falls sent down two coaches
Of her young men and maidens to
participate in the celebration.
Pocatello sent up good delegation
to the capital of the Mother County,
bringing pleasant recollections Of the
celebrations of the past and anticipat-

Blackfoot captured the first prize

Idaho Falls were the winners in the
