Ice Cream blends.

Halls Journal of Health says: Those
p ons, and their number is legion,
whose fondness for this summer dessert
is such that they are designated ice
cream fends, will be glad to know that
the value of ice cream as a remedy for
certain intestinal troubles is being adj
vanced. Some, indeed most, physicians
permit it through typhoid fever, always
insisting it shall be of the purest make.
To the story recently going the rounds
in print, of the entire cure of a case Of
ulcer of the stomach by the sole and
persistent use of ice cream, may be add
ed that of a woman. She suffered from
a serious affection of the eyes, directly
traceable to digestive disturbances, and
her physician finally put her upon ice
cream as a sole diet. For eleven months
she literally lived upon ice cream, with
the result to effect a complete and ap-
parently permanent cure. The theory is
that the cream furnishes ample nourish-
ment, while the diseased intestines,
chilled by the low temperature of the
food, are prevented from getting up in
Illumination during the process of diges-
ton carried on by the healthy parts.

Reckless Daring.

A feat of reckless daring was witnessed
che evening some yeats ago in the rooms
of the Kilkenny Hunt club.
An incident of the days chase was be-
ing discussed, when a gentleman from
Cork staked a large sum that he would
ride his horse over the table spread for
dinner without displacing anything on it.
The challenge was promptly accepted.
Leisurely, While excitement ran high,
he proceeded to the stables, n led his
famous hunter up the broad stairs and
into the dining room, situated On the sec
ond story.
Hastily mounting, he stroked the ami
NAL gently, and urged him forward.
With a graceful bound the intelligent
beast cleared the table, and seemed to
the spell-bound onlookers to be on the
point of crashing through the window,
to be dashed on the pavement below,
when the rider, with an effort that de-
noted d clear head and an iron nerve,
forced him back on his launches and dis
mounted.
The uproarous applause which followed
was deafening as the sportsman led the
noble animal from the room.

Badly Treated.

During the CHILEAN war, Americans
were very badly treated, and Fighting
Bob" Evans did not like it. All classes
down there use tremendous quantities
of garlic, and the result is unpleasant,
for your nose is offended constantly,
even in the street. One night a boat was
believing it safe, the sailors who had
acted as oarsmen left it on the beach for
a few minutes while they went to Stake
their thirst. Upon their return they
discovered that a party of Chilians had
loaded it with stones. "Fighting Bob
was fighting mad when he heard of it the
next day, and was asked what he was
going to do about it. "Do about it?''
returned the sailor; "why, I'm going to
turn my men into travelling a~rsenals,
and if the thing ever happens again, or
if our flag is again insulted, I'll make
hell smell of garlic!!'

" alters Vocabulary.

The walters vocabulary, says the Troy
Times, is constantly being enriched. Pigs
feet will be ''Trilbies" foreyernore, just
as surely as ~doughnuts are ''sinkers" and
frog legs are 'song-and-dance men,"
German walters, as a rule, are not ac-
customed to use slang, but they have a
few authorizations that are very express
sive. As everyone knows, there can be
no greater breach of etiquette or more
sorrowful admission of weakness than
TO order a glass of water in a German
place. The restaurant has water, to be
used in case of fire, but it is never of
fered to a customer. If he wishes it he
must ask for it. Then the waiter frowns
at him and shouts: Elm Eskimo" An
Eskimo is the ~satrical term for a glass
of ice water. In one of the oyster houses
a man ordered two deviled crabs. DO
you wan them hot or cold?' asked the
waiter. Hot, of course" The waiter
went to a rear counter and roared: "One
plate of hot devils" and a clerical look
ing gentleman not ten feet away from
him nearly fell out of his chair.
