How TO Drink Water.

There are few people, we think, who
thoroughly realize the value IF water
as a beverage or who know how to OBJ
tain the greatest advantage from it.
The effects produced by the drinking Of
water, as pointed out by our excellent
contemporary, Health, vary with the
manner in which it is drunk. Il. for
instance, a pint of cold water be swal-
BOWED as a large draft, or if it be taken
an two portions with q 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
u powerful stimulant to the circulation,
N ching which ordinary drinking is not.
During the act of slipping the action
uf the nerve which shows the beats CT
the heart is abolished, and as a conse-
quence that organ contracts much more
rapidly, the pulse beats more quickly
and the circulation in various parts Of
tho 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 a point
which might well be noted by our read
@rs:
"A glass of cold water, slowly slipped,
will produce greater acceleration of the
pulse for a time than viii a glass of
wine or spirits taken at a 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 it and who may be en-
deavoring to reform, the effect being
probably due to the stimulant action Of
ahe slipping.

How Snake Poison Kills.

The action of poisons upon the system
is and always has been one Of the most
interesting of subjects. Just how and
why it kills has been determined through
a series of experiments made by scien-
fists. The following description is un-
qu%estionably the best and most lucid of
any that has been given to the public:
1.-The venom may be roughly separated
into two parts-one acting upon the
blood, and the other upon the nerves.
When injected, it Immediately begins
to create terrible destruction in the
blood vessels, the walls of the veins are
eaten away and an internal hemorrhage
takes place. While this is going on a
portion of the venom is attacking the
nerves Particularly susceptible to its
ravages is the 'vasomotor' system, :
nerve center which controls the muscles
of respiration. Paralysis takes place in
these organs, and the victim generally
dies from an inability to breathe. D.

How Bankruptcy Strikes a Maori.

A Maori chief who lost e40 through
n white storekeeper going through the
Bankruptcy court has given the follow
ing lucid exposition of this particular
branch of British Jurisprudence: "The
pakeha (white NAM 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 60, 600, and
puts all of it except e5 away where no
can find it. With the e5 he goes to
n Judge of the court and tells him he
wants to become pakarapu.
"The judge then calls all the lawyers
together, likewise all the men to whom
the pakeha owes money, and he says,
This man is pakarapu, but he wishes
30 give you all that he has got, and so
ne has asked me to divide this e5 among
you all The judge t%hereupon gives the
Lawyers ga and the remaining 81 to the
other men. Then the pakeha goes
home. London Chronicle.

The discovery was doubtless fortui-

work of chance. When it occurred, we
cannot determine; but, 80 far as we
know, Egypt, rs she was the germ of
all civilization, was also the mother Of
this art, which she applied to II multi
tude of purposes, strangely excepting
namely, to admit light into buildings.
The jewellers by the Nile handed
down the art to the Ph9nioians, who
in like mallner bequeathed it to the AS
syrians. Then it was passed along to
the Persians and the Greeks, then to
the Romans and the Byzantines, who
in turn communicated it to the Vene-
tians. The monks of the middle ages
appropriated it to beautify their Gothic
temples, and so it came down the centu-
ries to modern times. -Frank H. Vize-

Rismarck's Ancestors.

1t is stated that the Bismarcks first
made their appearance in Brandenburg
as cloth merchants. In 1880 Or there
about it is believed that one Claus Bis
marck advanced a sum of money to the
Margrave Ludwig, which was secured
upon tie customs of his native town.
The citizens, however, rebelling against
this arrangement, the margrave assign
ed to Claus Bismarck the fief of Burg
stall, and it was in this manner that the
nobility of the family began. In the
middle of the sixteenth century the Bis
marcks came under the sway of the
Ho~henzollerns, to whom they have ever
remained faithful sals.-London

A Fancy For Old Hats.

The inhabitants of the Nicobar is

an extraordinary fancy for old hats, and
a regular trade in such cast off headgear
is carried on between Calcutta and Mic

paid for in %cocoanuts. A tall chimney
pot is the favorite among the Nicola
rians, and the acme of fashion is consid-
cred to be a high white hat with a black

shall never forget the look Of distress
with which a famous organist once said
to me that whenever he heard a set of
chimes he wished he could put his ears
in his pocket.
In these days of 81 nickel watches
bells are no longer needed to inform
people when the service begins. They
are, moreover, a decided nuisance, and
often a dangerous one, for they have
killed many invalids whose life depend
ed upon a few hours sleep, which the
bells murdered. In New York bell ring

and play a solemn chorale.
In all my musical experience 1 have
never heard anything more thrilling
than those majestic harmonies in the

adopt this custom and these celestial
sounds became associated with religious
experiences, they might arouse the dor

The Editors Protest.

The editor of The Clarion was a very
patient man. A startling crash from
the direction of the composing room
caused him to push his spectacles upon
his brow and cease writing. When he
found that the boy had let the first page
form fall on the floor, where it lay in
an incoherent mass, he shook his head
~reproachfully and exclaimed:

manage to break the news more gently"

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
drst hand camera was a pasteboard box
containing one 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.
This was rather expensive picture max
ing, and it was not long before a maya
zine camera was invented, and sudden
ly all the world began taking pictures.
