of which are very laughable. For in

the individual referred to caught sight
of the sign above one of the exits from
the fair grounds, and, not being up on
the definition of the word, supposed it

He accordingly entered the exit" and
it cost him fifty cents to get back into

little OF the improbable. but Others

vouched for by reliable people.

COLD WATER AND LONG LIFE.
An Eminen: Physician Recommends the
liberal Use of Aqua Para.

Liberal jSe OF Aqua Pura.
DR. r. II. Dalton says tina. although
to suggest the methodical use of cold
water as beverage in the absence Of
thirst as a means of augmenting the
chance of longevity may render man
liable to be dubbed a crank. if not a
lunatic- the idea has a soundly ply
siological origin. and is well supported
By experience. Solid and dry as the
human body appears water consti-
tutes more than one-fourth of its bulk.
and all the functions of life are really
carried on in water bath. and al
though the sense OF thirst may be
trusted to call for draught of water
when required, the fluid can be i'm
bibed most advantageously for many
reasons besides merely satisfying thirst.
In the latter stage of digestion. when
communion of the mass is incomplete,
it is much facilitated by moderate
draught of water. which disintegrates
and dissolveS the contents of the Stom-
ach. fitting it for emulgerce and pre-
pairing it for assimilation. Hence the
habit of drinking water in moderate
quantities between meals contributes
to health. and indicates the fact that
those who visit health resorts for the
purpose of imbibing the waters of min
eral springs might profit By staying at
home and drinking more water and less
whisky Water is the universal solv-
emit in nature and the chief agent in all
transformations OF matter. When taken
into an empty stomach it soon begins
to pass out Though the tissues by an
osmotic process into the circulation to
liquefy effete solids whose excretion
from the system is thus facilitated.
Very few people think of the necessity
of washing the inside as well as the
outside of the body, and he who would
be perfectly healthy should be as care
full bout the cleanliness of his stom-
ach as that Of his skin.
