How to Drink Water.
The Sanit0ri0n.

The SdnitGri0n.
The effects produced by the drinking
OF water vary with the manner in which
it is drunk. If, Tor instance, pint of
cold water be swallowed as a large
draught, or if it be taken in two por-
tions with short interval between,
certain definite effects follow-effects
which differ from those which would
have resulted from the same quantity
taken bp slipping.
Slipping is powerful stimulant to
the circulation thing which ordin-
AIRY drinking Is not. During the act Of
slipping the action of the nerve which
slows the beats of the heart is abolish
ed, and as a conseq uence that organ
contracts much more rapidly, the pulse
beats more quickly, and the circulation
in various parts of the body
IL increased. In additlon to this we
also find that the pressure under which
the bile is secreted is raised by the sip
ping Of fluid.

Consuming but Not Consumed.

THE COMMONWEALTH does not stake
much on the following welred tale, but
1t may entertain the curious. 1t was
sent from Adrian, Ga, dated July 10th,
to the Atlanta Journal. It says:
This community is thoroughly arous-
ed over the weired rumor of divine
visitation which comes from Troops
Ferry, Just beyond the Oconee river
and about twenty-five miles from here.
The story while it surpasses belief, is
repeated IN every quarter and the peo-
pie of the surrounding country are
wrought up to the highest pitch OF re-
ligious excitement owe! it. The
strange story follows:
One night last week several negro
turpentlne workers were playing cards
near the ferry. One negro had 500
at the beginning of the game, but lost
steadily until at last he had left only
$1.OO. Holding this high above his
head, he swore that If he lost it, he
would curse God. In the next deal he
lost it, and in consequence, he executed
his oath.
No sooner had he done so, than he
was heard to scream, and his compan-
ions on looking at him, saw that sui
phurous flames poured from his mouth,
ears, eyes and nose.
Terribly frightened, they at first ran
away, but.soon returned and endeavor-
ed to relieve his sufferlngs. Water
poured upon him was without avail.
A blanket was brought forward and
they attempted to wrap him with 1t, In
order to extinguish the flames, but
the would-be rescuers were kept away
by some mysterious power. About
four feet was as near as an approach
could be made to the unfortunate vic
tim.
Then, thinking that the log on
which he sat was In some way respon-
.ible for his predicament they began to
saw it off near the point on which he
sat. The first inclsion OF the saw caus-
ed blood to drip from it and to fall with
the sawdust, to the ground. An axe
was next sent Tor, but its use revealed
the fact that in every part the log was
El1ol 4 ~ h1oo1
Then they threw a moose Of rope
over the negro's body and tried to pull
him away from his position.
According to reports they might as
we'll have attempted to draw star
from the sky. The rope in consequence
of It's contact with the body of the VIC
tim, rendered as naught the great
trength OF those who would save him.
There he sits, rumor says, consuming
yet with no probability OF ever being
entirely communicating always, yet
not dead-living in and breathing the
fires of hell, crying for water, which
poured upon him causes him to scream
as mortal was never heard to shrek be-
fore.
It is said that people flock to see
him, but appalled, by the sight turn
and flee, some with terror that is pit
eous to witness.
The children of Adrian are terrOrized
by the rumor and speak of it in whls-
pers of horror. Night is no more well
coined, and sleep with them has only
the meaning of a plutonian dream.

Indian Graveyard.
IT.. Baker in Economist.

j. j. Baker IN Economist.
Among the many historic features in
the eastern part OF North Carolina,
which the pen of the historian has fail
ed to delineate, and the brush of the
artist to picture, Is the old Indian grave
yard situated in the lower part OF Pas
quotank county, ON the right bank OF
Little River, near it's juncture with the
Albemarle Sound.
It bears no resemblance to our me-
dern places of burial, and is even far
different from the scene described by
Gray's Elegy; for no gravestone or cost
ly monument marks the spot where the
chiefs and their warriors OF prehistoric
time have, for ages past, slept the long
dreamless sleep of death.
Our only means of knowing this to
be graveyard is through the traditions
which have been handed down to US by
our forefathers, and by the many relics
which have been exhumed, OF the by
gone days when the Indians were the
predominant race of America.
The Indians showed great wisdom in
selecting this spot as place of burial.
The nature of the soil is such that, even
with their primitive utensils, 1t was an
easy matter to prepare the sepuIchre
for the dead ; moreover, the beauty OF
the spot is such as would irresistibly
draw the attention of savage nation.
It is bounded on one side by the tur-
bu1ent waters of the Albemarle Sound,
while on another flows the beautiful
stream called Little River, with which
many legends of Blackboard, the pirate,
are associated, in the early mythology
of America.
The spot is avoided with superstitious
dread by the people of that vicinity,
who believe much in the ghostly and
tragical stories connected with it ; but
nevertheless its enchanting beauty lures
many visitors, who are not influenced
by these stories, to investigate the place
and refresh their memory of the pr1mor-
dial inhabitants of North Carolina, by
picking up such relics of them as may
be found in this, their last resting
place.

A Tree Which Will Not Burn.

L DC 4AUOec(uNt~
A government report from Colon
bla contains a description Of tree
known as the chaparro, which is said
to possess the quality of being fire.
proof. It grows on the vast plains of
Colombia and the north OF South
America, called savannas, extensive
districts which are parched with heat
except during the rainy season.
It has long been the custom to clear
the ground for the new vegetation
which springs up 80 luxuriantly on
these plains after the rainy season, by
means of fire--and such fires, miles in
extent, kindled by the herdsmen, de-
stroy everything in the shape of vegeta-
ton except the chaparro tree, which
survives to afford welcome shade in
an almost treeless region.
It is small tree, seldom growing to
more than twenty feet in height, with
a girth of about three feet, and it owes
its protection from fire to the nature OF
its hard, thick bark. The bark laws on
the trunk in loose layers, which do not
readily conduct heat to the more deli
cate parts of the structure. It is gen
eral idea among the natives that this
tree grows only where gold is abundant
in the soil below. That it Is common
in aurlferous districts is indlsputable,
but there is no ground for supposing
that it does not grow elsewhere.

had TO be killed again. Then after that
the stone would not keep on the stick.
He awoke tired and rather gloomy, and
was sulky all the forenoon, in spite Of
Eudena's kindliness, and instead OF
hunting he sat chipping n sharp eoge
o the singular flint, and looking
strangely at her. Then he bound the
perforated flint onto the stick with
strips of rabbit skin. And afterwards
he walked up and down the ledge, strik-,
ing with il, and muttering to himself,
and thinking of Uya@ 1t felt very fine
and heavy in the hand.
Several days, more than there was any
counting in those days, five days. il may
be, or six, did Ugh-lomi and Eudena
stay on that shelf in the gorge of the
river, and they lost all fear of men, and
their fire burned redly of night. And
they were very merry together; there
was food every day, sweet water and no
couple of days, for those ancient saw
nges had quick-healing flesh. Indeed,
they were very happy.
On one of those days, although il has
little to do with this story, Ugh-lomi
dropped a chunk of flint on the cliff. He
saw it fall and go bounding across the
river bank into the river, and after
laughing and thinking it over n bit he
tried another. This smashed a bush of
hazel in the most interesting way. They
spent all the morning dropping stones
from the ledge, and in the afternoon
they discovered this new and interesting
pastime was also possible from the cIiif
brow. The next day they had forgotten
this delight. Or, at least, it seemed they
had forgotten.
But Uya came in dreams to spoil the
paradise. Three nights he came fight
ing Ugh-lomi. In the morning after
these dreams Ugh-lomi would walk up
and down, threatening him and swing
ing the ax, and at last came the night
after Ugh-lomi Drained the otter, and
they had feasted. Uya went too far.
Ugh-lomi awoke, scowling under his
heavy brows. and he took his ak, and
extending his hand towards Eudena he
bid her wait for him upon the ledge.
Then he clambered down the white de-
clivity, glanced up once from the foot
Of il and fourished his AK, and without
looking back again went striding along
the river bank until the overhanging
cliff at the bend hid him.
Two days and nights did Eudena sit
alone by the fire on the ledge waiting,
and in the night the beasts howled over
the cliffs and down the valley, and on the
cliff over against her the hunched
hyenas prowled black against the sky.
But no evil thing came near her save
