WHY Ice WATER Is INJURIOUS
The reason why so many physicians
object to the drinking of water during
mealtime is that Americans, as rule,
drink ice water. The temperature of
the stomach is from SO degrees to 100
degrees F. After a meal it should be
from SO degrees to 102 degrees, and if
a person is exercising it sometimes will
run up to 103 degrees. Now, this
temperature is necessary to carry on
digestion in perfectly healthful way.
Constant drinking of ice Water during
the meal or an ice at the close of the
meal will reduce the temperature of
the stomach sometimes to 95 degrees,
which would stop digestion and sooner
or later render one confirmed dys-
peptic. Water of an ordinary temper
ature is not so Objectionable. In fact,
it would be better to take swallow
of water now and then during the
meal provided the water is cool not
iced. Foods that are slightly diluted
are more easily digested than those
which are concentrated and dry

HORSES Of ARABIA.
Each Animal Broken to It's Owners Hand.
An Exciting Race.

An Exciting Race.
The Hanaardi and Nephaarta Arabs
are famous horse breeders and take
great pride in their studs. These hor-
ses are, 1 think, the best "Arabs" l
have seen and far from being the gael
lelike creatures usually depicted. They
are strongly built, large boned animals
of from Is to Isl hands high. l have
seen one of l6I hands, but this is un-
usual. Their immense neck and shoul-
ders make them appear perhaps little
light behind, but they have plenty OF
staying power, and their length OF
hook is an earnest of the speed they
undoubtedly possess. Parties from
these tribes are constantly roaming the
deserts of Syria and Mesopotamia in
search of good brood mares, and l
have heard of as much as 1000 gum
cas- being paid for one. And good
brood mare is never parted with or
ridden.
remember seeing a bunch of Nep-
haarta horses brought in for the in:
spection of an emissary of the khedive
who wished to purchase pair for his
highness. There were some 70 or 70
of the most beautiful colts possible,
with the exception of one rather wee
dy looking beast. AS soon as sheik
Mansour saw it he shouted: "Take
it away and give it to the first man
you meet. l will not own that as a
Nephaarta horse" The khedive's
agents eventually selected two, for
which l saw him pay $500 Egyptian.
Entire Arab horses are always rath-
er difficult to ride at first, though after
a few days, when horse and rider have
became reconciled, they are docile
enough and easily trained. Each man
has virtually to break his horse to his
own hand, and should another mount
an apparently quiet beast he would
have to do the work all over again.
1t seems to be tacit understanding
between horse and rider that their
joint career begins with a struggle for
the mastery. To visitor like myself,
whose mounts must constantly be
changing, the prospect is sufficiently
alarming. Ones early days in an Arab

A Boston DoG.-Even a dog from
Boston is worth more than dogs from
elsewhere. In truth, a canine of gen.
uine Boston birth and bringing up has
lately brought a higher price than a
man would have done in the old days
of slavery. "The noted blue ribbon
Boston terrier Squanto" of the squan-
to kennels was lately sold to Phila'
delphia lawyer for $4,000. 1t took. a
Philadelphia lawyer to fully discern
Squanto's merits.
We are informed by an enthusiastic
reporter that this interesting $4,000 dog
has "an even blaze and collar" also
that he is "light brindle in color, hand
somely ticked." 1t must have been
the ticking of him that so tickled the
fancy of the Philadelphia lawyer. Or
was it his eyes, which are every large
and expressive and as round as silver
dollar?" They ought to be fully as

THE ORIGIN oF"YANKEE DOODLE.

The ORIGIN OF "YANKEE DOODLE"
"Yankee Doodle" is claimed by many
nations. 1t was known in England as
"Nankee Doodle" in the time of
Charles I. The Hollanders had an old
song to this air called "Yanker Dudel."
It is said to be also an old French vim
tage song, a native Hungarian air, and
the ancient music of the sword dance
of the Biscayans. In June, 1855, DIR.
Richard Schuckburgh, regimental sur
geon under General Braddock, thought
to play joke on the ragged, tattered
continentals by palming off the "Nan.
kee Doodle" of the time of Cromwell
upon the colonial soldiers as the latest
martial music. 1t at once became
popular, but quarter Of century
later the joke seemed turned when
the continental bands played this same
"Yankee Doodle" as Lord CORVALLIS
marched out after surrendering his
army, his sword and the English colo
nies in America to the Yankees

AN EXAMPLE OF THRIFT.-Guy,
the founder of Guys hospital in Lon
don, was as parsimonious in private
life as he was munifcent in public.
John Hopkins, one of his cotempora-
ries, who was nicknamed "Vulture
Hopkins" on account of his rapacious
mode of acquiring his immense wealth,
on one occasion paid a visit to Guy,
who, on Hopkins entering the room,
lighted farthing candle. Hopkins,
being asked the reason of his visit,
said:
II have been told that you, sir, are
better versed in the prudent and ne.
cessary art of saving than any man
living, and the fore wait on you for
lesson in frugality. have always re.
garded myself as an adept in this
matter, but / am told you excel me-"
"Oh," replied Guy, elf that is all
you come to talk about, we can discuss
the matter in the dark )" and there
upon he blew out the candle.
Hopkins acknowledged that he had
met his superior in thrift.

po1tital Sotal Asritultura and Gomnerrial Snteres

camp are frequently days of pain and
tribulation as one slowly recovers from
a bout with half savage stallion.
Though they eventually become
quiet and obedient to their masters
hand, great care must be observed
when riding in company not to allow
ones horse to approach within kick
ing distance of another, or disastrous
results follow. The horses are always
ready for a fight and deceitfully ap-
pear to be on their best behavior i'm
mediately before an outbreak. l was
riding one day with a small party of
Samana Arabs when two men careless
ly approached too close. I called out
to them to sheer off little, but before
they could respond a general melee
was in progress, and almost instantly
my horse had its teeth in the neck of
one of theirs, while the other was
killed by kick which burst its stom-
ach. Fortunately we all escaped with
a few bruises, though the riders do not
always get off so easily. When riding
at full gallcp, however, the attention
of the horses is concentrated upon the
race, and the men may ride as close
together as they like, but care must be
taken to wheel apart as the pace slack
ems.
Nothing can exceed the intoxication
of a race in the desert. Choosing a
stretch of level sand, you give your
horse the signal to 60, and he is off
with spring that almost unseats you.
And have seen an instance where the
sudden strain burst the girths and left
man and saddle in the dust, while the
horse was 100 yards away before the
discounted rider realized what had
happened. The speed that these hor-
ses attain is very great, and their
reach forward is prodigious, as l found
on one occasion when my horses hind
hoof cut the heel clean off my boot.
After gallop, instead of breaking
into q canter and then into a trot
before stopping, they simply put their
fore feet together and stop dead, their
impetus frequently causing them to
slide several yards. I understand that
it is on this account that Arab horses
are shod on the fore feet only.-"In
the Desert With the Bedouins," by r.

The BLOODHOUND.
A Gentle, Faithful Animal and Fine
WatchdoR.

A Gentle, Faithful Animal ana Fine
Watchdog.
Probably no species of the dog fam
lily is so little understood as the blood
hound. While many traits are held
by dogs in common, the bloodhound
alone can perform the duties of de-
tective police by his scent. 1t is doubt
less true that the finest specimens oi
this remarkable dog are to be found in
England, as they are thought to exec
all others in swiftness, spirit and en-.
durance. A we'll formed bloodhound
is usually about two feet high, with
regular limbs, round feet of moder'
ate size, wide breast, deep chest, 8
broad back and bushy tail. The head
is rather small than otherwise, and
the proper color a reddish tan.
In the old wars between England
and Scotland-the days of Wallace
and of Bruce-these dogs were much
used.
1t is said that Bruce was repeatedly
tracked by bloodhounds, and only es'
capped on one occasion by wading the
distance of bow shot down q brook,
thus breaking the scent.
A sure way to stop dog was to
spill blood on his track. Wallace,
with 16 followers, was once hotly pur-
sued by the English with bloodhounds.
One of his men refusing to 90 farther,
Wallace in anger struck off his head.
The dogs came up and stopped where
the bleeding body had fallen, and
Wallace thus escaped capture.
The scent of these animals is very
keen. As a recorded instance it is
stated that their unerring instinct was
once tested by allowing man an
hours start, when, after chase OF u
hours, the hound ran up to tree
where the man was, Is miles distant
from the place of starting.
The Cuban bloodhound is very fero-
cious. We are told that in the year
1895, when an insurrection was fierce
ly raging in Jamaica, 100of these dogs
were sent from Havanna to quell it,
and so terrific was their action at
the sound of a gun that the maroons,
or fugitive slaves, against whom they
were to act, capitulated at once.
While we shudder at these stories
let us not forget that the natural dis
position of these dogs is very gentle
that they are faithful and attached to
their masters, making excellent watch
dogs and never showing the ferocity
of their nature unless irritated. TO
man, then, we must attribute all the
sorrows which these dogs have occa-
stoned and learn that the brute is only
brute when his lowest passions are
brought out and exercised.

Stop MY PAPER..After you get an
cry stop your paper, just poke your
finger into water, pull it out, and look
at the hole. Then you will know
how sadly you are missed. A man
who thinks paper cannot thrive with
out his support, ought to 60 off and
stay awhile. When he comes back,
half his friends will not know he has
gone and the other half will not care,
while the world at large kept no &C.
count of his movements. You will
find things you cannot endorse in
every paper. The "Book of Books" is
often very plain and hits some hard
raps, but if you were to get mad and
burn your Bible, the hundreds of press
es would still 60 on printing it. So
when you stop your paper and call the
editor names, the paper will still be
published, and what is more, you will
read it on the sly.-Cycle.

THE BITTEN DOG BARKs THE

THE BITTEN DOG BARKs THE
LoUDEsT.-A newspaper which con-
stantly abuses its local contemporaries,
says the Eaton Rapids Herald, is a
weakling without influence. The fact
that it constantly assails a rival is
proof of jealousy, which is generally
caused by the success of the assailed.
If any one seeks the standing of a
newspaper he has only to see if it is in
the category of assailant or assailed.
If in the former it has few readers
and seeks by constant barking at its
successful rival to get itself into no.
tice. The newspaper-the paper that
people like co read-has very little
space to devote to the abuse of rival
concerns. 1t uses its columns for
news; all there is that is worth print
ing.

large as silver dollar, too, according
to the price, which was the largest
ever paid for an American bred dog.
But this was Boston bred dog, which
constitutes all the difference.
To most people Squanto would not
be worth that money. To most he
would be just a plain dog. They
would not give 10 cents for him, even
though his tail has "two twists in less
than two inches of length" 1t is just
his Boston culture and manners that
give him his fictitious value.

General Gomez is making the best
possible reply to the Spanish attempts
to sap the foundations of the insur-
gent strength. He is putting an army
in the field that is striking fear into
the heart of Weyler and leading that
representative of the brutaiitieS Of
two hundred years ago to greatly
concern himself over the results. Ri
vera is threatening Havana and Co
mez has an army that in conjunction
can make a strong impression upon
any force that Weyler can bring into
the field. Weyler knows this. and
between his fear of leaving Havana
defencelesS If he withdrawS the
main force of his army and being
at Madrid if he does not
march against the insurgents, he Is
in a real quandary. Added to this
is the knowledge that his death is
sworn by n thousand patriots and
that he is the target for a score of
Cuban sharp shooters whenever he is
within range of their guns. There Will
be no capital made for the Spanish
scheme of compromise so long as Go
meZ hold the field.

O'Brien Moore, the constitutional
liar of the Democratic press at Wash
ington, wires the information that the
Mckinley cabinet is known at the
capital as the ''infirmary." Moore
starts off with the assertion Of the
failing mind of Sherman and the de
mentia of Long. Mckinley will not
change his advisors on account of any
fool words of O'Brien, and his cabi-
net can show more good gray matter
under their hats than has assembled
around national council board in one
long four years. This is not the first
time that Moore has demonstrated
his utter inability to tell the calibre
of n Republican Office holder Moore
is good representative of his paper,
the organ of irresponsible Democra-
cy. MoOre's bark is worse than his
bite, and he has moored that bark
on the upper fork of salt creek.
