How to Drink Water.

There are few people, we think. who
thoroughly realize the value of water
as beverage or who know how to OBJ.
tain the greatest advantage from It.
The effects produced by the drinking of
water, MS pointed out by our excellent
contemporary, Health, vary with the
manner in which it is drunk. If, for
instance, pint Of cold water bo swaI.
lowed as large draft, or If It be taken
in two portions with short interval
between, certain definite results follow
effects which differ from those which
would have resulted from the same
quantity taken by slipping. Slipping is
n powerful stimulant to the circulation,
q thing which ordinary drinking is not.
During the net of slipping the action
Of the nerve which shows the beats Of
the heart is abolished, and as conse-
quence that organ contracts much more
rapidly, the pulse beats mere quickly
and the circulation in various parts of
the body is increased In addition to
this, we find that the pressure under
which the bile is secreted Is raised by
the slipping Of fluid. And here is point
which might well be noted by our read
ers:
A glass of cold water. slowly sipned,
will produce greater acceleration of the
pulse for time than will glass of
wine or spirits taken at draft In this
connection it may not be out of place to
mention that slipping cold water will
often allay the craving for alcohol in
those who have been in the habit of TAX
ing too much of 1t and who may be en-
deavoring to reform, the effect being
probably due to the stimulant action of
the slipping.

cleverest members of his profession. his

much interest. At last 1t came. The

three dressed figures, seated i'm chairs, as
usual. The professor followed and then
went through an astonishing perform
ance. No one could detect muscle of
his face move during tho laughable dia-
logues, and the changes of voice seemed
marvellous.
On retiring the applause was deafen-

again and again to thank the audience
for their appreciation. A couple of min
utes or so after, when tho audience were
talking among themselves as to how it
was done. they were thunderstruck to

chairs and walk off the stage also, but
on realizing how completely they had

How bankruptcy Strikes = Maori.

A Maori chief who lost e4O through
white storekeeper going through the
bankruptcy court has given the follow
ing lucid exposition Of this particular
branch of British Jurisprudence: "The
pakeha (white man) who wants to be-
come pakarapu (insolvent) goes into
business and gets lots of goods and does
not pay for them. He then gets all the
money he can together, say e2, 900. and
puts NIL Of it except 60 away where no
one can find it. With the 60 he goes to
a judge of the court and tells him he
wants to become pakarapu.
"The judge then calls all the lawyers
trgether, likewise all the men to whom
the pakeha owes money, and he says,
This man is pakarapu, but he wishes
to give you all that he has got and SO
ne has asked me to divide this e5 among
you all. The judge thereupon gives the
lawyers GA and the remaining eI to the
other men. Then the pakeha goes

Dry Plate Photography.

The first amateur pictures on dry
plates were made something after the
method employed by Charles Lambs
celebrated Chinaman in obtaining roast
pig. The Chinaman burned his house
to roast his pig. The amateur tore his
camera to pieces to get his picture. The
!rst hand camera was q pasteboard box
containing ono plate. A pinhole served
as a lens and after the exposure of the
plate the box was taken to the dark
room, cut open, and the plate extracted.

INSECT HEAVY DRINKERS.
BntterfiIcs sit For Hours Sucking More
Moisture Than Needed.

By means of large number of OBJ
servations Mr.. J. w. Tut is able to
confirm what has been stated by other
observers that certain butterflies and
moths are very much addicted to drink.
In a paper published i'm the 'proceed.
ings" of the South London Entonolog.
ical and Natural History society Mr..
Tutt says there can be no doubt that
butterflies drink more than is required
by their tissues under any possible con.
ditions. He has known Polyommatus
damon to sit for more than an hour mo-
tionless except for the slight movement
of sucking up and discharging the
moisture almost continuously

mean cannot be surmised Another i'm.

is strange one, the THIRSTY souls,

most entirely males. Possibly If exact
observations could be made it might be
found that females in small numbers
also visit puddles, pools and streams

Tutt has been able to discover IL is tho
males alone who indulge ir these copi.

black rats in the stores and warehou ses,..

southern ports. Weasels and ferrets are
bred to keep down their numbers. The.
feoundity Of the rats is so great that in
few years they would overwhelm q
whole city il they were not kept down
by artificial means. One pair will rear
four or five families of 10 to 10 to each
litter in one year, and in six months

three years could raise population Of
