Drinking in Hot weather.

eff people only knew how to really
quench their thirst in this hot weather,
said an uptown physician, ''they would
90 about it in a very different manner
than is generally the case. The abuse
of liquids will lend in bringing about
troubles of the digestive organs, and, in
my opinion, school children, should be
taught at an early age how to drink
scientifically, in such a manner as to
stop the feeling of thirst without i'm
pairing their digestive organs.
''The first thing to do in order to
quench thirst is to diminish the dryness
of the mouth, and for this it is uneces-
sary to drink a great deal. When
great deal of liquid is absorbed in too
short a time, the tissues Of the mouth
and of the pharynx are wet too quickly,
and the feeling of thirst returns rapidly.
Consequently, it is logical to drink much
less than is the general custom, and to
derive greater benefit from the amount
absorbed.
|sThe best plan is to drink slowly
through straw, and to pause between
cash mouthful, SO as to lengthen the
time during which the liquid passes
through the mouth. The contents Of one
large glass taken in the course Of an
hour should be quite enough to quench
a healthy persons thirst. Iced liquids
of any kind do not refresh; on the con-
trary, they increase thirst Watch a
man who drinks a glass of icewater and
YOU will notice that he becomes deadly
pale as he drinks The best drinks to
quench thirst are lemonade and acids, or
a decoction Of cold coffee; these are all
much preferable to alcoholic drinks, such
as beer, wine, or whisky" New York

COMM THRO' THE RYE.
What the Title of the Famous Song Real

What the Title of the Famous Song Real
ly Means.
In an old-fashioned magazine, long
since laid on the shelf, there is a certain
steel engraving of river, and at regu-
lar intervals, across it, from bank to
bank, rough-hewn, upright stepping
stones, upon which maiden is cautious
ly tripping over the water. How many
who sing Robert Burns once popular
as an illustration of Comm Thro' the
Rye?'
The mental picture usually suggested
by the words Of the ballad is that of a
field of the tall, golden-grained grass
but the waterscape is the correct view
Rye or RE, as it is also spelled, is an old
time word meaning river.
The ploughboy poet was a masterhand
at taking snapshots from the homely
scenes of rural life around him. Though
born at Ayr, the song-making time OF
his brief life was passed mostly at Dunn
fries, town in the southern part of Scot
land, on the river NTH.
''The sweet side of the Nith's winding
stream was, as he himself expresses it,
his muses. WELL" Perhaps it was here
when busy with his ploW on his farm
within sight of the rivers fording place,
that his quick humor took in the quaint
situation of what might happen ''gin a
body meet a body comm thro' the rye.
In this, the centenary year of Burns
death, Scotland is erecting an admirable
memorial of her gifted son, a shelter fol
homeless and deserving old people. Il

a tower whose peaceful outlook will be

Mica in Northern ldhao.

The mining of mica is now being car
ried ON by the Muscovite Mining COM
pany, operated in Idaho, about ten miles
northeast of Vollmer, says the Spokane
Review. At present there are twenty
men employed. There is $500 feet of
development in the mine The tunnel
now being driven is the width of the
vein, ten feet. There is a parallel vein
of twelve feet wide not far from the
vein now being worked. The company
is putting up buildings for the cutting
and packing of the product. When the
buildings are completed five men will
be employed.
The average size of the sheets from
this mine is four by five inches. although
they have sheets which will cut twenty
four inches square. The principal mar
kets in the United States are New York
and Chicago. The price of the product
varies from 80 cents to SIS a pound.
according to size. The principal sources
of supply in this country are mines in
New Hampshire and North Carolina. A
large quantity is annually imported from
India and Siberia, and the supply is used
by stove manufacturers, but by far the

GOLD MINING IN BROOKLYN.
About &c., 900 in Demolished Watch
Case Factory.

Case Factory.
Gold hunters are at work in two diff
ferent fields in Brooklyn. At Fourth
avenue and Warren street about $1,000
worth of the yellow metal has already
been turned up, and the melting pot is
still on the fire. On Cumberland street,
gold has been discovered in large guam
titles, and the prospectors are still at
work. 1t is the pure metal, too, without
alloy, and no quartz crushers or giant
separators or electric plants are required
to disintegrate it.
The Brooklyn Watch Case company
has had it's factory for twenty-four years
at Fourth avenue and Warren street.
The Fay watch case factory has been on
Cumberland street for almost as many
years. Recently the two concerns have
consolida ted, and new factpryT'haS been
opened The two city factories have
been stripped and dismantled, except the
gold hunting, and it is this search after
buried treasure which has given rise over
Brooklyn to all sorts of stories about re-
markable gold discoveries.
Already more than $1,000 worth of
gold has been secured. When the whole
building has been gone over, walls, cell
ings and sewer pipes, the amount is ex-
pected to exceed $4,000. In Fay's fac
tory the same operations are going on.
Only the most trusted workmen are
employed in the work. A handful of
dirt or shavings is likely to ''pan OUT

A unique kind of machine has been de

wool spinning is effected, thus rendering

built of ninety-six spindles in a machine
and can be operated on the very highest

Physicians advice for Hot Weather


Dr. Donlin, coroner's physician of New
York city, said that only a slight knowl-
edge and care by the public generally
would put stop to the high death rate
from heat in the city. ''There are sure
premonitions of coming heat ptostra-
tion,' said he, (which, if recognized in
time will take away all danger of death
from the heat The first indication of
danger is when perspiration ceases 1t

person thinks that it is getting cooler
when he ceases to perspire. This dry
ness of the skin is followed by headache,
and the temperature rises to 1OS or no.
This shows that the heat is confined In

four hous after perspiration has ceased

RELIC FROM A HISTORIC WRECK.
English Sword Buried for Three-Quar-
tiers of a Century Recently Found.

English Sword Buried for Three-Quar-
tiers of Century Recently Found.
The recent finding Of an English sword
on the south beach of Long island, oppo-
site the Pom Quogue light, links the mem
DRY Of the early part of the century with
the present in an interesting manner.
The sword is from the British man-of-
war Sylph, which was wrecked during 4
severe gale, in September. 1914, when
the sandbar known as the Great South
beach was blown it's entire width inland.
The Sylph had been sent out by the
British government during the war OF
1912, but the crew turned her into q
pirate craft and preyed upon merchant
vessels and villages along the coast. The
wreck occurred on the beach opposite
the point where the Pom Quogue light
now stands, the ship being beaten to
fragments and the crew of 800 men be-
ing drowned.
At that time large inlet connected the
4 ocean with the baysWhich lies between
South beach and the mainland. This has
been closed for many years. A short
time ago the Shinnecock Bay Improve
ment association decided to have it re-
opened, and for that purpose hired the
steam dredse recently used for cutting
the rShinnecOck canal.
The Slyph was wrecked at or near the
spot where the digging is now in prog
ress, and among the many strange treas
ures of the sea which have been brought
to light after their burial of more than
three-quarters of century is the old
sword mentioned above.
The weapon is of antique English
workmanship, and is incased in leather
sheath bearing in two places the initials
u. P" and the stamp of the English
crown, which seems to prove beyond
doubt that it is relic of the pirate ship.
The hilt has partially rotted away, but
the steel blade is in a fairly good state
of preservation. The sword is now in
the possession of the engineer of the
dredge.
