THE USE OF LIQuIRS AT MEALS.

A great deal of misapprehenson is
often found to exist in the popular
mind in regard to matters of eating
and drinking; the cause of this to
some extent is to be traced to old
time sayings, which have come down
to. JUS in the form of a concentrated in
fusion of somebody's opinion upon a
subject of which he or she was woe
fully ignorant. One of these misap'
prehensions to which we may refer is
as to the righteousness of taking fluid
with meals. One frequently hears it
laid down as maxim that "It is bad
to drink with your meals, it dilutes
the gastric juice"
By way of explanation we may re-
mark, says The Medical Press, that "it
implies that the fluid taken is harm,
full" Whence this sagacious postulate
originally came we cannot tell it has
quite the ring about it of an inconse-
ouent deduction formed by person
whose presumption to knowledge was
only exceeded by a lamentable ignor'
ance Of the subject. Medical men of.
ten find much difficulty in dealing
with these museum specimens of anti
uuated science, for even educated per-
sons are disposed to cling to the absur.
dities of their youth. Upon this mat,
ter Mr.. Hutchison remarks in the last
number of his Archives ~ observe
with pleasure that the verdict of gen.
eral experience and common sense has
been confirmed by scientific expert,
ment in the matter of taking fluid
with meals.
"Dr. Tev. o. Stratievsky, of St. Pc
tersburg, after elaborate trials, has
found that fluids materially assist in
the assimilation of protieds, and an
nounces the following conclusion,
which it is to be hoped no future ex-
periments will controvert-on the
whole the widely spread customs OF
taking fluids during or just before
ones meals, proves to be rational and
fully justified on strict scientific
grounds. To take fluids with the
meals is almost as important an ad-
junct to digestion as is the mastication
of solid food preparatory to swallowing
it. 1t is obvious, however, that there
is a limit to the amount of fluid one
can swallow with impunity-not to
speak of comfort-just as much with
meals as at other times"
1t would be dangerous to create a
general impression that the fluid is
good with food irrespective of quan'
tity. 1t is, moreover, well-ascer-
tanned clinical fact that an excess OF
cumprandial fluid does not retard di,
gestion in certain people, and gives
rise to discomfort in most. A little
attention to ones sensations in such
matters will far better fix the desirable
limit than all the "data" in the
world.-Science.

POINTS ABOUT A GOOD HORSE
There are some points which are val,
liable in horses of every description
The head should be proportionately
large and well set on the lower jaw
bones should be sufficiently far apart
to enable the head to form an angle
with the neck, which gives it free mo-
tion and a graceful carriage and pre-
vents it bearing too heavily on the
hand. The eye should be large, a lit,
tie prominent, and the eyelid fine and

tion to mischief-Rider and Driver.

A CURE For BURNs.-The follow
ing recipe for burns is most highly
recommended: Roll flour and lard TO-
gether as you would for making pie
crust. Then wet it into a soft dough
with cold water. Completely cover
the parts burned and keep them COW
cred for two or three days. When the
dough loosens-which will be in two
or three days-the burned skin will
peel off with it. Make a fresh dough
and cover the afflicted parts again.
Let the dough remain until it becomes
loose. It is said that burns treated in
this way do rot leave scars.

Starving Gamblers.

In Cuba, last winter, eight cents a day

the Youths Companion. Consul Gen. Lee dis-
tributed money for a time 70 the people who
needed it, but he found that IN spite of the
eight cents they were stiu starving He in
vesdgated little. Then he cabled to Wash
ington: Don't send cash. Send corn meal
and goldfish
The living skeletons had bsen spending tie
money sent to keep them from starving fer
tickets in the Royal LOTTERY Of Cuba. This
hoary swindle was once known as the Royal
Havana Lottery. and whole tickets cost forty
dollars apiece. Later years have brought the
cost down to a hard-times basis. The price
Of tickets is a dollar, and there are & quar-
ter Of million of them. drawing Is sup
posed to take place every ten days. the cap
ital prize being $50, OOO and the other prizes
aggresating a 100000 more. The man who
has drawn capital prize is yet to be dis

Nevertheless, the lottery las been popular.
Its little red tickets are spread over the
island like so many smallpox pustuies
Corners soldiers solaeei Their empty stomachs
with dreams of the wonders to be wrought
by the numbered slips Of paper that were
tucked away in their ragged trousers. So did
Blaneo's men. Even today, half the beggars
in Havana sell the tickets. The other half
buy them. y
But the lottery thieves are nervous and
unhappy. They have always paid subsidy
to the crown Of Spain, amounting % one
quarter OF their gross receipts, and they
would willingly continue that b-fbe to the
new Cuban government; but they fear that
the influences that are to prevail in Cuba will
be distinctly Jnfavorable TO their scheme.
And they are right.

Darker Phases of CITY Life.

The Chicago Woman's club is investigating
the darker phases of city life. In a meeting
of the study class recently Judge Joseph z.
Gary made some very plain statements of fact
regarding the justice court system, and laid
the foundation for a very emphatic arraign-
ment of the same at the hands of Frank A.
Johnson, chairman Of the Chicago bar COM
mlttee on grievances, which has taken these
matters In hand. The judge fecetiously allud-
ed to the fact that since the ATTEMPTED re-
generation of the system in 1870 mo gang of
justices and constables had been sent to the
penitentiary."
"Of course, ladies'" said the Judge, you
can readily understand without my explain
ing to you. how fees become elastic in the
hands Of ingenious men" He concluded by
suggesting an old remedy, that of making
a juSticeship q s3laried Office and locating
the officials where they can keep an eve o.
one another. There is no temptation in a
judgeship. and justieeship is just as i'm
portant an office to the common people.
1t was this last thought OF Judge Gary's
that Prof. Graham Taylor, OF Chicago Com
mons. caught W and dwelt upon. "An real
law" said he lis folk-msde, and the most
corrupt form of law is that which comes
nearest to the common people The common
people are more worthy to be trusted today
than ever before, but among those common
people the respect for law is breaking down. "
LAW IS ON SALE.
Prof. Taylor quoted Chancellor Diapers
speech before Ann Arbor university to the
effect that tie Jaw is on sale in the lower
courts. and that public interest is best served
when legal and legislative bodies are not in
session. He further said that the very pit
yawns beneath the man who tries to secure
the nomination and election of known honest
men, and described that pit as being one not
of fire, but Of revenge and the antagonism of
corporate business and party power.
THE JUSTICES HARYEsTs.

first charge falls through"
Mr.. Jorson scored without mercy the sys-
ten CT sUbuE ban justice shops, which he &C.
cared were nefarious TO the core. He stated
that action for perjury stared plaintiffs in
the face, and that this in connection with the
tactics OF dishonest "Shyseer lawyers" con-
stituted ample grounds for criminal prosecu-
tons, through which such men would event
uaIly be punished.
