Water as a Medicine.

"Halls Journal of Health gives the fol-
lowing: The human body is constantly
undergoing tissue change. Worn-out par
ticles are cast aside and eliminated from
the system, while the new are ever being
formed, from the inception OF life to its
close.
Water has the power of increasing these
tissue changes. which multiphes the waste
products, but at the same time they are
renewed by its agency, giving rise to in
creased appetite, which in turn provides
fresh nutriment. Persons but little accus-
toned 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 produces
disease, which, if once firmly seated, re-
duires both time and money 10 cure.
People accustomed to rise in the morn
ing weak and languid will find the cause
in the imperfect secretion of wastes which
many times may be remedied by drinking
a full tumbler of water before retiring.
This very materially assists in the process
| during the night, and leaves the tissues
fresh and strong, ready for the active work
of the day. Hot water is one of our best
remedial agents.
A hot bath on going to bed, even in the
| hot rights of summer. is better relievel
of insomnia than many drugs.
Infamed parts will subside under the
continual poulticing of real hot water.

LIKE A HUMAN HAND.
The Singular Growth OF a Tree Which
Had Once Been Blighted.

The Singular Growth of a Tree Which
Had Once Been BIighted.
Up on the east side of North Seventh
street, about midway between Poplar
street and Girard avenue, Philadelphia,
stands strixingly curious tree, which
recently attracted the attention OF an
Inquirer man. 1t stands just in front
of a stable yard, and the employees OF
the place say that dozens of peopla
come to them every week and make re-
marks or ask questions about the
strange growth. From the thickness OF
the growth at the base the tree is
probably about forty years old, but it's
branches and foliage are new and fresh,
and look as though they were but the
growth of year or two. The trunk
runs straight from the ground to
height of fifteen feet. Above this, for
short distance, is thick, globular
mass of foliage, the leaves appearing
to grow directly out of the wood.
Above this growth run up three thick
stalks or stumps six or eight feet high,
also covered with dense, close mass of
foliage. When the tree is viewed from
the north side 1t presents a startling
resemblance to a giant human hand
protruding from the earth. The three
big stumps at the top represent the
three middle fingers, and upon either
side of these can cas- lily be seen config-
urations of the SURF ounding foliage
which correspond to the little finger
and thumb. The explanation of the
phenomenon is curious one. The tree
was once full grown and vigorous, but
was attacked by blight or some other
disease, and the dead trunk was pruned
down to its present proportions, where
upon the present new growth devel-

Paper Made of Iron.

A queer specimen of American iron
work was exhibited at the great expo
sition of 1851. Immediately a lively
discussion ensued among American
and British manufacturers as to how
their iron could be rolled. The Gillett
rolled sheets, the average thickness Of
which was only the 1s-109 part of an
inchl The wonderful fneness of this
work may be more rapidly understood
when the reader Is informed that 1,200
sheets Of the thinnest tissue paper,
pressed, measure fraction over an
Inch. These sheets were strong and
tenacious and could be written upon
with pen, but were porous when held
before strong light.

A Woman Traveller Who Can Take Care
of Herself
"There are several lady travellers on
the road, but most of them are rather
agents than travellers" !" writes com.
mercial traveller to the st. Louis Globe.
Democrat.
"One of the brightest among them
that 1 have met was pleasant little
body who was taking orders for books
though, as she frequently explained, she
was no book agent, because she only
sold to the trade and in quantities
That might be, but she always had a
spare copy to accommodate anyone
who might be struck with its beauties.
ST met h er in small Illinois town,
where the local judiciary wrestled
hard to collect a license from every
one who came within a hundred miles
of being an agent or peddler, and my
fair comrade got herself arrested for
selling single copy of her book for six
dollars cash to man who was mean
enough to give her away. 1 felt sorry
for her, and made up my mind that
after supper would either square the
court or bail her out.
''Dut my services as advocate or di-
+erter of Justice from the proper chan
nels were not needed, for at. supper
time she appeared more radiant than
eyer. 1 asked her how she got along
with the police judge or justice of the
peace.
"'Oh,' she replied, he is just the
incest old man / ever saw in my life.
He bought the only copy had left,
and asked the constable who arrested
me if he thought he had good sense to
drag lady before him like that for
nothing
'I often wonder what kind of argu.
ment the lady used, for the old judge
had reputation for cussedness which
it was hard to equal. But one thing is
certain, and that is the average woman
traveller can take good care of herself
without much outside assistance"

PECULIARITIES OF GREEK ART.
Sculptors Made Male and Female Fea-
lures Different.

Sculptors Made Male and Female Fea-
lures Different.
Arch8ologists have observed that In
Greek statues the male eye is strongly
arched, while the female eye has a
rather fattened surface; and referring
to accounts by the older anatomists
who have affirmed such a difference to
exist they have seen in this fresh
proof of the exact observation of
nature by the ancient Greeks. The
rule, according to London Nature, is
not without exceptions, for the cornea
in the Zeus of Otricoli has quite fat
form.
Herr Greet recently set himself to in
quire whether such sexual difference
actually exists, and from individual
measurment of the radius of the cornea
in the horizontal meridian he gets an
average of 1888 nm. for men and 7.S2
nm. for women (Donders gives 1858
and 7.799), so the difference Is SO small
as TO be imperceptible to the naked eye.
Measurement of other dimensions gave
but minute differences also. The
author concludes that the Greeks (from
artistic motives) did not in this case
follow nature.
