The Use OF Water and Other Liquids IL

this is interfercd with in any way by
the use of liquids we must promptly

Finds may be taken ad libitum dur.

powers will allow it, but such persons
should keep in mind that the strongest
stomach may be abused too far, while
those whose stomachs are already un-
equal to severe strain should be es-
pecially careful as to the quantity OF
fluid imbibcd with the food.
The saliva is the best lubricator for
the food while it is in the mouth, both
because of its starch-digcsting powers
and because its allalinity serves tc
/ simulate copious dow of the acid Sc
cretion OF the stomach.
Any habit, therefore, which permits
the entrance of food into the stomach
before it is thoroughly incorporated
with saliva must be pronounced per
nicious in the extreme.

skIrts md Their Trimming.

Skirts are very similar to those now
worn and range four to five yards in
width at the foot, while almost close
fitting around the hips. Many when
made Of double-w width cloth are of half
circle shape with but one seam-that
up the back-while others OF single
width six or eight gored breadths. The
latter often have breadths joined by
open patterned jet galloon, or by the
lacelike silk passenenterie, through
which is seen the silk lining OF con
trasting color. Trimmings around the
hip will remain in favor. There are
also many skirts with three clusters OF
very narrow rufiies, one cluster of eight
or ten little frills at the foot, another
at the knees and a third above the
same space. Bayadare satins and vel
vets are used for these ruffies, and also
as fiat bands matching those that cross
the waist and sleeves, or perhaps form
bolero jacket and entire sleeves, OF
else ruffles set in the armhole, or a
dropping puff above close lower sleeves

Care of Mattresses.

A bright clean mattress is the house
keepers delight. The question is how
to keep il so. Some use slip covers of
calico or muslin TO protect it, but this
is unsightly and unsatisfactory. or
course tack Of some sort may be used
to guard the top from possible harm,
but it is the rubbing against the slata
or woven wire that so soon soils and
darkens the ticking have found the
following method free from all obiec-
tions: Take a piece of sheeting or
strong muslin some six inches larger
each way than the mattress. At each
corner attach twelve-inch piece Of
tape, sewing it by the middle so as TO
form strings six inches long. Lay this
sheeting smoothly over the Stats or
springs. Straps, formed of pieces OF
mattress binding little longer than
the depth of the mattress, arc sewed--
by their ends only-to each corner OF
the mattress, Through these straps
pass ono Of the strings at each corner,
tying in bow knot When desired
the knots may be united and the mat
tress turned over. Before turning, re-
move with a small stiff brush all dust
from around the taclsings, and the mat
tress will retain its fresh appearance

phytoline for Obesity.

An excessive amount of fat, says DR..
I. N. Love, MD, OF st. Louis, is not
only unsightly, but is unhealthy; in
fact, as an evidence favoring the
thought that fat is low grade tissue,
we speak of other tissues degenerating
into fat. Certainly, the tendency to-
ward the accumulation of an extra, nm
necessary amount Of fat favors dan
gerous fatty degeneration Of the heart
and the tissues forming other impor-
tant organs. The proper selcctiosl of
diet, with exercise. can do much to-
ward the diminishmcnt of fat; but the
profession and the laity have long
looked for some remedy which could be
depended upon to assist toward the
consummation devoutly to be wished.
In phytoline we have such a remedy.

and each carries n wide strip Of paper
controlled by a synchronizing device
which, causes the one To follow the
movements of the other. On the
transmitter anything can be written
or drawn and the recording stylus Of
the receiving instrument follows the
movements of the transmitting stylus
or pencil and thus produces an exact
facsimile of the writing or draw
ing. The Importance of this invcn-
tion cannot be ovcrestimated, II may
not, perhaps, supersede the telephone
oc the telegraph, but II will take place
alongside of them and like both create
new uses for itself that were never an
ticipated. The newspaper man at a
distance can send his copy direct To
the office and it will be received in his
exact handwriting, exactly as IL he
were present. Diagrams and sketches
to illustrate the mater can he sent in
simultaneously, thus opening new
field in newspaper practice. The fac
tory owner can transmit orders from
his Office and IL needs be illustrate his
ideas. There can he no misunder-
standing, no confusion of spoken
words. The order is written by the
sender and he can rest assured that it
is reproduced exactly at the recording
instrument. A telegram might become
confused in transit. Spoken words
over telephone might be misunder-
stood. A business man in one city can
sign a check in another city and his sig
nature will be as exact as II the slip Of
paper were under his own hand. Taken
altogether the telautograph is dis
tinct and valuable addition to the list
OF late electrical inventions and one
which will rapidly assume its place in
