Fluids with Meals.

The arguments presented by many
writer's seem to prove that the moderate
taking of fluids with the food at meals In
not without benefit. But the Importance
of the thorough mastication Of food before
it is presented to the stomach must never
be overlooked. If this Is interfered with
in any way by the use Of liquids, we must
promptly prohibit their indulgence.
Fluids may be taken ad libitum during
meals by those whose digestive powers
will allow 1t, but such persons should keep
in mind that the strongest stomach may
be abused too far, while those stoInachs
already unequal to severe strain should
be especially careful as to the quantity of
fluid imbibed with the food.
The saliva is the best lubricator for the
food while 1t Is in the mouth, both be-
cause of it's starch digesting powers and
because its alkalinity serves to stimulate q
copious Aow of the acid secretion of the
stomach.
Any habit, therefore, which permits the
entrance of food into the stomach before
it Is thoroughly Incorporated with saliva
must be pronounced pernicious in the ex-
treme.
II we cannot afford the time necessary
for masticating our food properly and in
cooperating II thoroughly with saliva, it
would be better to take nothing but broths
and similar foods. The use of water and
other liquids as lubricators is not to be
tolerated.
On the other hand, II we bear in mind
the whole mechanism of digestion, 1t will
readily be seen that in cases of weakness
or want of tone ON the part of the muscles
of the stomach, when every part Of the
food cannot be properly presented to the
action of the digestive juices, the introduc-
ton into the stomach of q moderate
amount Of water may be of no slight bene-
fit. The mass Of food will become more
pliable, and SO more easily operated upon
by the weakened muscles.-New York

Best Housed Community In the World.

There Is a greater concentration OF
wealth In the state of New York than else
where the average per inhabitant being
40 per cent over that of the Union at large.
This is partly shown in the prodigious
value of house property, including public
buildings, which averages $50 per inhab
itant in the state Of New York against
$420 for the whole Union. The six mid
die states taken collectively give an aver
ago of $3.50 Of house property per inhabit
ant, which is double the ratio found in
Great Britain, and hence 1t may be af
flrmed that the people of these states are,
on the whole, the best housed community
In the world.
The average wealth per inhabitant ha
almost quadrupled in 40 years, marvel
Gus proof of the progress of these state.
and unparalleled in Europe, for McCulloch
lays 1t down that only prosperous nations
can double their wealth In that interval.
The accumulation In the middle states pel
inhabitant has been 5000 per annum
higher than in New England and exactly
double the average accumulation yearly in
Great Britain in the interval OF 1S80-95.
Agricultural wealth forms only ID per
cent of the total In the middle states,
whereas 1t is 25 per cent In the whole OF
the Union. Michael @. Mulhall, +. s. s.,

WANTS RATCHFORD TO SUE.
Colonel Rend Says He Can Prove His
Recent ChnrCea

PITTSBURG, Aug. 26.-Col w. p. Rend
the Chicago operator, who created some
thing of a scene during the recent Joint
conference of miners and operators by max
ing serious charges against President
Ratchford, returned from Buffalo to-day
When told that his charges had created
considerable excitement and that intima-
tions had been thrown out that a libel suit
might be entered against him, Colonel Rend
said: Let him sue me. 1 am ready to
prove what / charged, and l think it would
be a good thing for the country if ii were
proved. That St. Louis convention could
not set itself a better job than to investi-
gate this matter. / made Dolan an offer to
present Ratchford the evidence, but it was
not accepted"
Speaking of the strike generally. Colonel
Rend declared it is now certain the miners
will lose it. He anticipates that within the
next few days new men will be brought in
to start some of the pits, but even If this
is not done and the mines remain idle the
men will never get such another golden on
pOrtunity as they have rejected. He saws
their great mistake was in suppoSing the
operators were ready to give in because
they sought arbitration. He declares that
all the large lake shippers are firmly de-
termined to resist the demands of the mir
ers. If the miners had accepted the first
propositions made by the operators at the
conference on Friday, they would have
made a substantial gain and would have
improved permanently their condition
