HOW TO DRINK WATER.

There are few people, we think, VINO
thoroughly realize the value OF 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 ex-
cellent contemporary, Hcdth, vary
with the manner i'll which it is drunk.
If, for instance, n pint of cold water
be swallowed as a large draught, or II
it he taken in two portions, with a
short interval between, certain definite
results follow effects which differ
from those which would have resulted
from the same quantity taken by sip
ping. Slipping is powerful stimulant
to the circulation, thing which OrdI-
nary drinking is not.
During the action of slipping the
action of the nerve which shows the
beats Of the heart is abolished, and as
a consequence that organ contracts
much more rapidly, the pulse beats
more 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 Sc
creted is raised by the slipping Of fluid.
And here is point which might well
be noted by our readers:
A glass Of cold water, slowly slipped,
will produce greater acceleratlon OF
the pulse for time than will a glass
of wine or spirits taken at draught.
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 taking too much of it and who
may be endeavoring to reform, the
effect being probably due to the
stimulant action of the slipping.

Emperor Williams Big Soldiers

From the London Chronicle
''The tallest man in his army" who
is accompanying the German Emperor
in the visit to the East is grenadier
named Chiemke, who is nearly six feet
ten inches in his stockings. This Fred
erick William mania of the Kaiser's is
an old device of his for impressing the
foreigner. On returning from his first
visit to Constantinople i'll 1899, the En-
peror sent the Sultan complete set of
kettledrums, which he intrusted to the
tallest officer in his army, Lieutenant
Pleskow, who liz very little, if at all,
under seven feet. Once, indeed, when
this Prussian guardsman looked over
a seyen-foot garden wall and asked II
girl picking gooseberries therein what
was the way to so-and-so, the simple
maiden told him to ride first to the
right and then to the left, and he would
find the place he wanted. The nymph
had honestly fancied that an officer
overpeering her garden wall like that,
must necessarily be on horseback. -

happen to be among them will be driven

in its going-most beautiful and blessed
