the Presbyterian Synods of Virginia and
North Carolina.

liquid Food an Aid to Digestion, and Cold
Drinks Refresh Heated Persons.
Tho inccssant adjuration not to drink
with meals we have always held tho re-
verso OF truth from theory and from ex-
perionce. The latter is that dry meals
cause heartburn, the former shows that
splitting up the meal of solid food with
liqnid acts precisely like splitting logs
Of wood into kindling for the fire, giving
tho digestive fluid easy access TO tho
small PARTICLES, instead of sizzling and
making gas on the outside of q wad Of
thick paste. And the talk of diluting tho
gastric juice is nonsense, because tho
surplus fluid drains quickly through tho
stomach. Better drink too much than
too little
We are glad now to be re-enforced by
an English sporting man, Mr.. Horace
Hayes, who says that drinking nothing
during or for an hour and n half after
meals is the best of ways to train down
weight, but ho cannot do it because it
always brings on rhcnmatism-probabl
from the solid food producing overcon-
centratcd salts in tho circulation, and
consequent deposits in the muscular
ribcr. Tho same writer says that the no
ton about animals being injured by Civ
ing them drink when heated is a stupid
and cruel piece of barbarism; that it
only does them harm when tho drink il
very cold, by producing nervous shoclls
as 1T would TO n man, while if the chill

WONDERFUL GOLD LEAF.
How 1t Is Manufactured and Some OF IT.,
PeculisrIties.


The process by which gold is mado
into thin leaves is called gold beating.
AS yet the use of machinery for this
purpose is very limited, nearly all gold
leaf being beaten by hand
First the gold is cast into oblong in
gots about thrce-fourths of an inch in
width and weighing two ounces each.
These ingots are passed between pol
lShed steel rollers and hattcncd out into
ribbons of about III eight hundredth Of
on inch i'll thickness Tho ribbons are
softenod by heat and cut into pieces an
inch square.
One hundred and fifty of these pieces
arc placed between vellum leaves, one
piece above another and tho entire pile
is Enclosed i'll double parchment case
and beaten with Il 1G pound hammer
until the inch pieces are extended to 4
inch squares. They arc then taken from
she case, and each square is cut into
four pieces. The pieces thus obtained
are then placed between gold bcater's
skln--a delicate membrane prepared
from tho largo intestine of tho ox-made
into piles, inclOsed i'll parchment case
and again beaten, but with Il hammer of
lighter weight
Still the leaves are not thin enough,
and once more each Leaf is cut into four
pieces and again beaten. This last quar-
tcring and beating produces ? AGO leaves,
and the thickness of each leaf is about
one hundred thousandths of an inch.
Gold is SO mallcable that it is possible
to obtain q still greater degree of thin
ness, but not profitably.
These thin leaves arc taken ND with
wood pinchers, placed OH cushion.
blown out flat and carefully cut into
squares 81 inches in size. The squares
are placed between the leaves of paper

of the gold, each paper book containing

form the leaf is sold, not By weight, but

MEN MUST W0HK

1t was a greatS poet who

was very much y1lstaken. He
was wrong In saying that wo-

never intended to pass their
lives In misery. Why should
they weep?l
WOMEN'S MEAKNESSRS are the
curse of /womanhood. They
have wruhg tears from many

pathetie story could be told of
the suffering caused by sick

symptoms which so many wo-

WINGED him that, though they arc almost

every tramp i'll tho United States has
spent some part Of his youth in re-
form school, or, worst Of all, in jails,
demonstrates that there is failure
somewhere in our system of correction

The Wealth of Chitral.

The Chitral expedition will prove a
costly undertaking to England, but the
country of the Chitralis Is rich in gold
and yellow arsenic, and if it comes un-
der direct British control, as it is very
likely to, a new Indian gold field
may be opened up. Yellow arsenic is
a sufficiently valuable commodity Of
itself to make the conquest now be-
ing undertaken an important one, but
the country being also a gold-bearing
one will make it doubly so. 1t has
been known for years past that gold
exists in good-paying quantities in the
streams of Chitral, but no attempt has
been made to develop the industry,
owing to the obstacres placed in the
way by the chief, who suspected that
if it became known that his country
produced gold Chitral would be lost to
him. A traveller who visited the coun-
try in disguise some years ago worked
up specimens of gold with the aid of
mercury, and on being subsequently
tested the precious metal proved to be
of twenty-one-karat quality.-Chicago

Prescription for Nerves,

"a paper recently presented before the
New York Homeopathic Medical So
ciety by DIR. Maycock, of Buffalo, on
''Some of the Influences of City Life on
the Nervous System" will doubtless be
read with interest by people who are
troubled with nerves. The doctor says
that neurasthenia in its varied forms Is
rapidly Increasing in this country and
especially in the cities, and 1t must be
prevented or we shall have to increase
the number of our insane hospitals and
nervous retreats. In the cities there Is
less vital force than in the country,
and the rush of city life seems to have
a deleterlous Influence especially upon
the nervous system. "The demand for
hypnotics," says DR.. Maycock. "is in
creasing. we are giving more and more
medicines intended to affect the nerv-
Gus system, and a large trade Is done
in the wines OF cocoa and kola and the

COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Mr.. McTapuc MoIaIizcs

Diocesan Record: What a curious
creature man is! The more you study him
the more an enigma he becomes. Why
Chairman Roche injected the name of eX-
Judge Smith Into the Craftsmanship squab-
BILE IN this county is Il question that was
asked on all sides the day of the convcn-
tion, and l have the first person to meet
that has not condemned him (AIr. Roche)
for so doing. No friend nor any one inter-
ested in Smiths election next November
would have introduced his name into local
politics. There may be considerable fric-
tion between the friends of eX-Sheriff
Fahey and eX-Judge Smith, still We are of
the opinion that 1t was a serious mis-
takc on the part Of the ex-judges friends
to rush into print knowing very well that
no matter which way the contest was de-
cided it would very likely have some bear
ing on the judges election next November.
We do not wish to be understood as in
dorsing the action of Fahey's friends for
the part they took in this matter and for
the good of the party in this county we
are still of the opinion that we will al
ways be the minority party SO long as in
ternal dssensions continue"

An Illusion Shattered.

One by one the brightest illusions of
our youth are being shattered. What
boy possessed of the average amount
of dime novel enthusiasm has not
looked with admirati ton upon the far
off, Lone Star state of Texas, where the
festive cowboy roamed about unre-
stricted in pursuit of amusement of
highly Favored order; where the aver
age citizen was never properly attired
for street promenade without a pair
of siX-shooters and an 11-inch Bowie
knife resting somewhere in the vicn-
ity Of his spinal column or the calf of
his leg? Who has not at some period
of youthful eXuberance longed to re-
side in the locality of high-strung busi-
less enterprise and undeveloped coun-
try; the land or rolling prairies, am
ber-faced Mexicans, blood-thirsty cow
boys and wild steers; the land where
good men carried out the ideals of yell
low-covered fiction by performing chiv-
alrous deeds and dying with their boots
on. Who let us earnestly inquire, has
iOt ieiI u iuiShchihS Vi puioc a. thV
lurd tales of the feats of Texas rangers
who some years ago defended our
southern boundaries from the depreda-
tions of Mexican horse thieves?
But there has been a rude and COM
monplace awakening from these
dreams of Texan glory. The Lone Star
state officials have brushed these fond
illusions aside by calling an extra ses-
sion of the legislature to pass law
making the public exhibition of prac-
tical rules of self-defense within the
borders of the state felony. The ac-
tion of the Texas legislature in passing
such a law In face of the contemplated
visit of two northern gentlemen who
proposed to honor the locality with
their presence, is indeed a matter of
surprise. The shock that this exhibi-
ton of inhospitability must have given
the two gentlemen of the ring is slight
compared to its effect upon the north
ern public generally. 1t certainly was
| not expected from the territory of free
dom, fire water and fringed trousers.
We confess that we are disappointed
in Texas. The dreams of youthful days
have been rudely dispelled. Texas hath
no further charms. It's altogether too
quiet.
