Drink Ruined Him.

Banner Of Gold.
In the city of Philadelphia is mis-
sion called the Sunday Breakfast AS
ISOLATION, which each Sunday morning
gives coffee and rolls to the hungry.
1t is pitiable sight-the hundreds
who gather eager for the food. After
the repast Gospel service is held, at
several of which it has been my priv
ilege to present the precious promises
of our Master.
At one of these meetings a worker
said to me: "Do you see that old
man in the second seat-the one with
the pale face and white hair ?" Yes"
"Fiye years ago, he continued, he do
mated these big coffee cans. He was a
hardware merchant doing a good bus
mess. Then he was a moderate
drinker, now he IS hungry, drunken
tramp, drinking free coffee from the
very can he donated" The moral is
plain-that is what strong drink will
do.

Length Of Thought.

Mining and Scientific Press.
How long does it take man to
think? Prot. Rlchet, at the recent
meeting of the British association,
gave the results of his l;lvesti cations
into this subject. He found that by
mentally running up the notes OF the
musical scale for one Or more octaves
and then dividing the total time by
he number of notes thought of, the
entb of second. There are various
ways of arriving at conclusions as to
the amount OF time necessary for real
ling any physical sensation Or mental
impression. If the skin be touched
repeatedly with light blows from q
small hammer, one may, according 10
Prof. Richet, distinguish the fact that
the blows arc separate and not contin-
uous pressure when they follow ono
another as frequently as 1000 9 sec
ond- The smallest intervals OF sound
can be much better distinguished
with one ear than with both. Thus
| the separateness OF the clicks OF & re-
yolving -toothed wheel was noted by
one observer when they did not en-
coed sixty to the second, but, using
both ears, he could not distinguish
them when they occurred oitener than
fifteen times a second. The sharp
sound Of an eclectric spark Of an In
duction coil was distinguished with
one ear when the rate was as high as
500 to the second. Sight is much
less keen than hearing in distinguish
ing differences. IF disc half white
and half black be revolved, It will ap-
pear gray when its revolutions exceed
twenty-four per seconds. 1t has been
found that we can hea1 far more rap.
idly than we can count, so that if a
clock clicking movement runs faster
than ten to the second we can count
four clicks, while with twenty to the
second we can count two of them.

Men or Women as Servants.

New York Weekly Witness,
"Apropos of statement which I
saw in paper short time ago, to the
effect that housekeeper had, partially
at least, solved the help question by
a young man in house
work, I had an experience to-day, an
account of which may be useful to my
sister housewives who find difficulty in
inducing the 'washer-ladles' to assist
them III heavy work." writes a CORES
pendent Of the Philadelphia Ledger.
"This morning an honest-looking
Irishman, sickle III hand, asked Inc to
let him cut the grass, saying that he
was an troll moulder. out of work, and
wanted work Of any kind that would
help him support his wife and three
children. I did not wish the grass
cut, but, upon his entreaty for work, I
asked him if he could do anything
about the house. I wished to have g
kitchen carpet washed, and, having
failed to find a lady who would do
that Or any other kind Of washing, /
asked him if he would try it.
He eagerly assented, got up large
tub, flied 1t with warm water, into
which I put a package of soan-pow-
der, and, after some uperintendence,
he successfully washed the carpet, put
it through the wringer, hung it On the
line, and did it all 30 deity and will
ingly that set him to scrubblng the
green bricks with saltwater, cleaning
up the cellar, and my daughter had
him dig her he'd III the yard for her
roses. IN washing down the bricks he
carefully pulled up every tuft Of grass
between them, and did every part ol
his work thoroughly and we'll, occupy,
ing two and o,,e-iaaIi hours in doing it,
Fer this | gave him his dinner, some
vegetables, a large package OF clothing
and fifty cents. He was highly
pleased. and thought he was fin luck
for the day
THE average working woman
would have occupied half a day at
least, and the chances are the work
would not have been so well done, and
his behavior was SO perfectfu!ly re
spectful as to offer pleasant contrast
to the demeanor OF the majority OF my
own sex. When employed in plain
households their condescenslon is even
harder to submit to than their poo,
setvice.
"I do not wish to decry working
women, but their unwillngness to dc
anything but the lightest work, and
their way of comforting favor when
doing even that,may yet compel house
keepers to have recourse to the
stronger sex to help them over the
hard Places

About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, had an
attack Of diarrhoea accompanied by
vomiting. I gave it such remedies as
are usually given in such cases, but as
nothing gave relief, We sent for ply
s1clail and it was under his care for a
week. At this time The child bad been
sick for about ten days and was hayinp
about twenty five operations OF the
bowels every twelve hours and We were
convinced that unless it soon obtained
relief it would not live. Cham berlaln's

was recommended, and I decided tc

The Water a Cow Drinks.
New York Weekly Witness,

New York Weekly Witness,
In a report Issued to the French
Academy of Sciences upon the exper-
iments which were held to determine
the effect of the quantity OF water that
COWS drink upon the quality and
quantity of the milk flow, it is said
that by inducing the COWS to drink
more water the quantity of the milk
may be increased without ihjurlng the
quality. In experimenting with COWS
fed in stall with dry matter that gave
only from nine to twelve quarts OF
milk day, 1t was found that when the
same amount of dry feed was moist
ened with from eighteen to twenty
quarts of water daily, the yield was in
creased from nine t. Twelve quarts,
as before stated, to twelve or fourteen
quarts. Beside the wafer given In the
| food the COWS we're given their usual
amount OF drinking water each day,
the same rs before, and their thirst
was excited somewhat by adding a
| very little salt 10 the fodder. This
salt feeding is not approved by every
one, SO, of course, the feeding of it is
at the option of the dairyman. It
Was also found by a series of observa-
tons, that the quantity Of water gen.
orally drank by each COW was very
good guide in judging the quantity of
milk she would give. 1t was found
that COW that does not drink as
much as twenty-seven quarts OF water
a day is poor mixer, giving only
from five and half to seven quarts
but the COWS that drank in the neigh
borhood Of fifty quarts of water daily
gave from eighteen to twenty-three
quarts of milk each day. From this
it might be taken that the amount O
water drank by COW is sure test 0
her value as mixer
