Coffee and Its Uses.

When there are i'll a community cpl
denies of typhoid fever, cholera, cry
sipelas, scarlet fever and the various
types of malarial fever, which are trans
mitted almost entirely through the me-
dunn of food and drink, coffee is a yalu-
able agent and may be used as drink
instead of water
1t is valuable agent in assisting In
the digestion of food and aids the blood
in taking up more nourishment than 1t
would without 1t.
1t quickens the circulation of the
blood and respiration.
1t is also stimulating and refreshing
(due to the caffeine it contains).
In tiding over nervousness IN emer-
sencies it is a sovereign remedy.
As stimulant and caloric generator
in cold weather 1t is 100 per cent ahead
of whisky or other liquors.
As disinfectant it is one of no small
usefulness i'll the sick chamber.

QUEER LAKE SALAWIK.
It's Waters Grow Warm In Winter. and
Men Can Fish There With Clubs.

Its Waters Grow Warm In Winter, and
Men Can Fish There With Clubs.
The rich placers of Klondike are not
the only curiosity of the country travers-
ed by the Yukon. Not far from Dawson
there is in Alaska really extraordina-
~ lake which was named Salawik by
its discoverer, the Rev. P. Tosi, mis-
sionary among the savages.
This lake, which is 80 miles long and
about 10 miles wide, is perhaps the on
: " one in all that extreme northern re-
gion which does not freeze over during
the winter. No communication has been
discovered between it and the sea, new
ertheless at high water upon the coasts
of the northern ocean the level of the
lake rises, and it falls again at low tide.
This sympathy with the sea does not
extend to the point of making Salawlk
a salt lake. On the contrary, its waters
are good to drink. But another of its
peculiarities is that its temperature rises
in winter and falls in summer. When
all the water courses of the neighboring
country are completely frozen over,
Lake Salawik becomes so warm that 1t
is really pleasant to battle in it. On the
other hand, in the summer time the
water is extremely cold.
This popularity makes it in the win
ter time a Mecca of fishermen. The
abundance of fish in the lake is SO great
that a person can almost Catch them
with the hand and can kill large guam
titles with club Here for the miners
is a source of food supply which they
had not counted upon and which GER
tainly will contribute to diminish the
cost of living, especially during the
winter, in that inhospitable region. In
an hour man can get enough fish to
supply himself for month, and Of the
very best quality, including salmon
ranging from 20 to so pounds in weight.
1t will not be astonishing If some
fine day we may see upon the shores of
Lake Salawik one of those fashionable
hotels which are the glory of American
watering places. (Me) Re-
publique.

ABSlNTH IN FRANCE.
Taking Glass of the Liquor Is a Whole
Evenings Work.

Although absinth is to Frenchman
what whisky is 10 an American, he
never dreams of running behind a screen
and swallowing a glassful in one tre-
mendous effort There is something al
most poetic i'll the way Frenchman
prepares and partakes Of his beverage.
1t always takes two walters to serve
a glass of absinth. Waiter No. l brings
the tray, upon which are carafe frap-
pc Gce water that has been frozen in
the carafe), a tall glass, a tiny tray
piled. up with small blocks of sugar and
a queer, fiat, perforated spoon. Waiter
No. 2, who has remained discreetly in
the rear, advances with the bottle Of the
popular stimulant said to be the de-
struction of so many French minds and
bodies After saluting monsieur, the
garcon carefully pours the desired guam
tity into the glass and goes on to serve
some one else.
Then for the first time the French
man shows some signs of interest in the
matter He relinquishes his hold on his
cane, but one hand only; the other
never deserts the cane. He carefully
places the perforated spoon across the
top of the glass. On the spoon he bal
ances, with careful nicely, block OF
sugar and gently pours small quantity
of ice water over the sugar into the
glass This done, he once more grasps
his cane with both hands and apparent
ly forgets all about the beverage before
him. The sugar slowly melts, drop by
drop, into the glass, through the per-
forations of the spoon. Quite awhile
afterward, sometimes half an hour,
the drinker again shows an interest III
his beverage He looks to see if the
sugar has all melted; then he removes
the spoon and raises the glass for sip
of the concoction-only sip, however
for it is sip by sip that Irenchman
consumes his absinth, and glass of it,
including the time passed i'll the prepa-
ration, takes an entire evening. Chi

Sleepy Onions.

The London Medical Press asserts
that some plants sleep through the rainy
season, others during periods of drought,
of heat or of cold. Farmers are rather
skeptical about weeds ever going to
sleep, and it is hard to realize that an
onion bed is nightly wrapped in balmy
slumber. Yet science i'll this matter Is
too well fortified to be doubted. -St.

time. the yard laborer at the Santa Fe
tracks was busy cleaning out the tracks
at the Douglas avenue crossing, and mis-
of the roadway filled with tools. A switch
engine was backing up and down the cross
ing at the same time, and the rushing
team was crowded TO get by. Smeone
yelled to the section hand to move his
wheeFbarrow. but he either did not hear or
aside to save himself. On tort the nervy
team, and to avoid the switch-engine was
to run afoul of the barrow. The latter
appeared to the driver to be the best way
out of it, and with dexterity born from long
skill in handling horses, he turned straight

or both of the horses to be cut and man
gled by the sharp edges of the iron hurdy-

driver drove his plunging team right onto
the wheelbarrow, with the result that the
struction, clearing it in one bound The
outside wheels struck it with a crash, but
runnin over it easily, and in another
bound the rig was clear, the buggy unin-

same pace, never lessening it any more
than if the impending danger had been

THE COMING FAIR.

Few people realize that Wichita has a
fair associa ton unequalled by any similar
organization on earth. Agricultural fairs
are proverbially in debt, weak in the
knees and forever on the point Of break
ing down altogether.
In nearly every county in the country
the doubt is expressed in the query:
'"Will there be a fair this year?"
But at Wichita things are different The
fair association is a business concern. 1t
does things in a business way. Through
the untiring efforts Of it's managers and
of its secretary H. G. Toler. the biggest
rustler in the west, it is able to say this
year as the doors of the grounds swing
open on the first day: 1--WE have got
money enough in the bank to run the fair
If no one should attend
The attractions this year are going to
be unique There will be shows within the
show. The admittance will be only Is
cents Inside the grounds vaudeville at
fractions without end. special acts and
performances will be scattered every
where.
In front of the grand stand every day
two horses will dive off high perch into
a great basin of water ten feet deep.
No arrangements have been made for
long-winded speeches, political or other
wise The fair will be an outdoor thea
ire, little city OF itself where fun, frolic
and information will all be gathered to-
