USES OF ICE WATER.
In Health It Should Not 10 Used for
Drinking Purposes.

In Health It Should Not DO USED TOR
Drinking Purposes.
In health no one ought to drink ice
water, for It has occasioned fatal in
fammation Of the stomach and bow
els, and sometimes sudden death. The
temptation to drink 1t is very great in
the summer. To use 1t at all with
safety the person should take but q
single swallow at the time, take the
glass from the lips for half minute,
land then another swallow, and so on.
1t will be found that in this way 1t be-
comes disagreeable after few mouth
fuls. On the other hand, Ice itself may
be taken as freely as possible, not only
without injury, but with the most strik-
ing advantage in dangerous forms Of
disease. If broken in sizes Of pea or
bean and swallowed as freely as prac-
ticable, without much chewing or
crunching between the teeth, it will
often be efficient in checking various
kinds of diarrhea, and has cured vio-
lent cases Of Asiatic cholera. A kind
of cushion of powdered Ice kept to the
entire scalp has allayed violent infiam-
nation of the brain, and arrested fear
full commissions induced by too much
blood there. In Group, water as cold
as ice can make it, applied freely to the
throat, neck ane chest with sponge
or cloth, very often affords an almost
miraculous relief, and II this be fol-
lowed by drinking copiously of the
same ice-cold element, the wetted parts
wiped dry, and the child wrapped up
we'll in the bed clothes, It falls into q
delightful and life-giving slumber.-

DONE UP BY MRS. DUNN.
A Special Police tho Victim 'of His Wife


III 'twero done when 'twere done, then
'twero well 1t were done quickly"
Thus spoke Shakespeare 400 years ago
and also Mrs. Policeman William Dunn
yesterday Afternoon when she proceeded
to do up" her better half, but was only
stopped by the Intervention of the sheriff.
Mrs. Dunn bears a rather unsavory repu-
tation as "scrapper" and the scrimmage
she had with her hubby yesterday after
noon was by no means the first. About
O'Clock she was telling her husband some
stories she had heard about him and he
told her to shut up Then her ire rose
and she picked up a chair and went for
him.
After they had couple of rounds OF the
chair, now tactics were adopted and she
went at him with knife, fork and pair
of scissors SUCCESSFULLY, but each time he
disarmed her and once he got a good grip
on her neck, held her under q faucst to
let the water cool her off. but 1t didn't.
She next went at him with her finger nails
and from the way the policcmans face is
decorated with red stripes running in
every direction, the t?sse must have been
hot one. The sheriff arrived during the
finger nail fight and escorted her to Justice
Davis Office who fined her $40 and costs
There was a previous case against her
which Sho hadn't paid up, and for which
her husband had gone bail This last
straw broke the camcl's back, however,
for he, withdrew his bail and she was
forced to settle up that case also. Every
body who knows Mr. Dunn knows that no
doesn't look like a hen-pecked husband,
for he carries his 500 pounds with all tho
grace OF an Adonis. Mrs Dunn also tips
the beam at about i75 but 1t is evident that
what she lacks in avoirdupois is amply
made up in temper. and that phrenooglst
you'd diagnose her bump of eombativc-
ness as hot stuff"
