LIQUIDS During Meals.

If we bear in mind the whole mechan-
ism of digestion, it will readily be seen
that in cases of weakness or want of
tone on the part of the muscles Of the
stomach, when every part Of the food
cannot be properly presented to the ac-
ton Of the digestive juices, the introduc-
ton into the stomach of a moderate
amount Of water may be Of no slight
benefit. The mass Of food will become
more pliable and SO more easily operated
upon by the weakened muscles. Youth's
Companion.

A Clock That Registers the Tide.

The chamber of commerce of Rouen
has erected a clock tower which gives
the time on three sides and the height of
the tide on the fourth, namely, that 'front.'
ing the harbor. The tide indicator con-
sists essentially of float, which, by
means of cord and counter weight hung
on drum, actuates series of shafts
with bevel wheel gearing and moves a
hand or pointer on dial like that of a
clock, marked with the necessary figures
to show the level of the tide. The dials
are of opal glass and are Illuminated at
night. The clock has an apparatus for
distributing the time to other clocks in
Rouen and also for unifying the time
after the method adopted in Paris

French Servants and Wealthy Shopkeepers.

French Servants and Wealthy Shopkeepers.
The one extravaganza of dress Of the
French servant girl lies in having her
best gown made by dressmaker instead
of making it herself. Hence her corsages
always fit her we'll, and her plain stuff
costume has a degree Of style about it
which she is fully capable Of appreciat-
ing. The ladies of the so called bour-
geois set-the wives and daughters of
rich shopkeepers and manufacturers
very rarely indulge in rich fashionable
toilets. Nine. Boucicaut, the foundress
of the Bon Marche, was worth millions
upon millions. Always arrayed in black
silk or satin Of excellent quality, but
made in the plainest possible style, she
looked to the last hour of her life just
what she was-the greatest and richest
shopkeeper in Paris possibly, but still a
shopkeeper, and one that never tried to
look like anything different. When the
daughter of one of these wealthy trades
people marries, her trousseau is usually
very superb, but the famous masters of
the art of dress are seldom or never
called upon to exert their inventive tai
ents in her behalf.-Lucy Harper in

Hanging and Burning Seems to BE tho
Popular Method with Southern Lynch

Lee Walker by Tennessee Mob.
MEMPHIS. Tenn. July 24.-Lee Walker,
the negro who assaulted Miss Mollie Me
gladden. and four colored girls last week.
was lynched by mob few minutes
after midnight Saturday night
The attack on the jail was be
gun at 10 o'clock and the mob
hammered the great steel doors two
hours before an entrance was effected
At .2:I5 o'clock the door 10 Walkers
cell was smashed with battering ram
and, with yell, the crowd seized the
negro and dragged him to a telegraph
pole 100 yards mort h of the Jail, where
he was strung up.
Walker was more dead than alive
when launched into space. The door
of his cell had scarcely been forced
open when the mob commenced ham-
mering him with guns and clubs. His
arms were broken, his jaw crushed and
his body mutilated. When the tele-
graph pole was reached the rope was
thrown over a cross-arm and the BODY
ierked 10 feet in the air by willing
hands The mob was composed of sew
eral thousand men. Scores of negroes
participated in the lynching, The blacks
being more enraged than the whites
because Walker had assaulted four ne
gro girls. No masks were worn.
The mob was not content with hang
ing and mutilating the body of the
negro Scarcely hal the pulse ceased
To beat when some one yelled: Burn
the wretch and instantly the cry
was reechoed from thousand
threats. A huge bonfire was built
in the street and the body cut
down and dumped into the flames
The CHASTITY sight caused many to
groan and protest, but the leaders OF
the mob were determined to cremate
the body and could not be persuaded to
desist They seemed to have lost their
reason and acted like madmen.
Walker made full confession and
related his revolving story to the pros
ecuting attorney with the utmost cool
ness. He did not realize the enormity
of his crime and when asked what he
supposed his fate would be replied that
he would probably be fined s400 and
