The drinks thatquench thirst most
effectually are, according to an au-
thority on the subject, those that
possess a little sugar and not salt.
Among the tiavors TO be combined
with matter are lime and lemon
juice, the juice of the grape fruit,
and phosphates of orange and cher
ry. Cold tea and coffee, with slice
of lemon and no sugar, are also bev-
erages that will satisfy thirst. Both
of the latter should be poured from
the pot as soon as brewed.

If you desire to retain your friends,
don't set yourself UP for social
critic, for criticism in its mildest
form is hard to bear. 1t is not
pleasant to he ever reminded Of our
shortcomings and errors. DO not
swallow up all courtesy. Many Of
us have the habit of saying to those
with whom we are familiar, such
things that we would say about
strangers behind their backs. There
is no place where real politeness is
more valuable than where we usu-
ally think it superhuous. You may
say more truth, or speak out more
plainly to your associates, but not
less courteously than to strangers.
Again, we must not expect more
from the society Of our friends than
it can give, especially must not
exact contrary things. If we are
petulant, unkind, or disagreeable,
we cannot expect others to be all
Kindness and forbearance. Init
mate friends should be careful when
they go out into the world, that they
do not make bad use Of the knowl-
edge they have gained of each other
by their intimacy. Nothing is more
common than this, and did it not
proceed from mere carelessness, it
would be objectionable. You seldom
need wait for the written life of any
one to hear about their weaknesses,
or what are supposed as such, if you
know their intimate friends. 1t
seems to be the privilege of friends
to talk freely about each other.

The "Crowning Blessing"

AT the end of long and interest
ing career, Phoebe Couzins admits
that a home is the browning blessing
of life. She is very poor now, hav-
ing devoted her life to the public,
and she says: 1T seems to me that
the moral of my case, as we'll as that
of others who have spent their lives
in the ungracious work of reforma-
ton, is, don't waste your energies
in trying to reform the world; it
does not want to be reformed; make
for yourself the only safe harbor in
time of trouble-the sweet security
of a peaceful home."

Tnkc Cnre of Your Teeth.

Don't blame your dentist for poor
work if your newly filed teeth ache
when brought in contack with ice
cold water.
Don't brush the teeth with soap
unless you want them to turn yellow
in time, and don'tuse charcoal paste +,
because it will discolor the gums.
After using acid foods and drinks,
don't fail to rinse the mouth thor
oughly with tepid water in which
pinch of baking soda has been
dropped.
Don't fail to cleanse the teeth even
more frequently in summer than in
winter, for heat causes greater fer
mentation of the particles of food
left between the teeth than cold.
Don't take iced drinks into the
mouth too fast. Ice brought into
direct contact with the teeth cracks
the enamel, contracts the metal fill
ings,in the teeth, causing them to
leak and decay again.
Don't stop eating candy unless
you want to, for candy of itself does
not hurt the teeth. 1t is only by al
lowing portions of candy to remain
on and between the teeth long
enough to decompose or sour that
the teeth are injured.

The mistress of the house, if only
for the example she sets for her
children and servants, should al
ways be punctual, To be up betimes,
to dress early for breakfast, not GO
ing about the house slipshod, with
her hair untidy, and muffled up in
dingy dressing gown; to confer with
the cook about dinner and take a
look around the larder at the regular
hour to be in readiness, is the role
of the woman who aspires to take
her place among wise and notable
matronS. If a mistress is always
down late for breakfast, the servants
will fall into the habit of being late
also. The cook will say, IF / cook
the eggs and bacon, they will only
get cold;' the house-maid will put
off laying the cloth until the last
minute, while she hurries through
the rest of her work that is behind
hand on account of her late rising.
So the master comes to a lonely,
cherries room, with the cloth half
laid, and waits patiently, or not, ac-
cording to his nature, for the eggs to
be boiled, the bacon to be fried,
while spoons and forks are thrown
hurriedly askew on the table. Then
he swallows half breakfast, and
rushes off to his work in such an
annoyed and tiurried state that
heart, digestion or temper invariably
suffers. When he comes home at
night, the same disorder reigns-
mistress is out; cook, taking advant-
age of her absence, and knowing
well that dinner need not be up to
time, has scarcely begun to prepare
it; housemaid probably putting the
last touches to her toilet; the fire
low, the lamps unlighted, what
wonder that he comes to regard his
Office as the pleasanter place, and
that his books there engross his
mind, TO the exclusion of all home
thoughts? Late, irregular meals are
often the cause of Indigestion, which
is synonomoGs with bad temper
and the wife who does not manage
that her husband has his breakfas
and dinner on time, only deserve:
her fate if she sits down opposite tt
a face lowering with ill humol
rather than radiant with content

SATURDAY EVENING, AUG. s, 1896

THE LooTING protectionists and anti
income tax boilers say the resumption
of silver coinage would enable a
debtor to defraud his creditor OF hall
his dues. would be reputation, and
would impair the obligation OF
contracts, and they abuse and de-
nounce every one who criticises the I.
s Supreme Court for its TO 4 decision
in the income tax case. Yet, though the
Congress, as we'll as the States, is pro-
hibited from impairing the obligation OF
contracts, Mr.. John Scott, OF Warren
ton. shows that the Q. S. Supreme
Court has decided that Under the
power to coin money and regulate its
value, Congress may issue coins of the
same denominations as those already
current by law, but of less intrinsic
value than those, by reason of contain
ing q less weight of precious metals,
and thereby enable debtors to discharge
their debts by the payment of coins OF
less real value" 1t would seem that
the members of court capable of such
a decision should not be allowed by
law, to hold their positions for the rest
of their lives.

SOME OF the republican, boiling
democratic, and so-called independent
newspapers profess to be very much
concerned about the course Senator
Hill of New York intends to take in
the present political campaign. But
why so nobody except themselves can
tell. To be sure, the deserion OF the
President and the whole OF his cabinet,
except one, in the face Of the enemy
and on the eve OF battle, is entirely out
OF the usual order Of things, but such
an example does not set the pace, nor
does one swallow make summer, and
TO ordinary people it would look just as
strange for a democrat to say he in
tends to support his party's ticket, as 1t
would TO hear Christian express
his belief 10 the Bible. Of course, Sen
ator Hill, and all other good and true
democrats, will support the Chicago
ticket, but none of them thinks it at all
necessary to make public announce
ment OF such a generally accepted fact.
