Sliding Down the Side of Mountain

"This Oroya Railway is a very won.
derful line, indeed 1t not only climbs
higher than any other railway in the
world, but also distinguishes itself in
a variety Of other ways incidentally re.

plishment with which am chiefly con.
cerned is this, that it provides the only
road in the world which a man on
wheels can travel over 100 miles by
his own momentum and practically AT
any pace to which the flend of reck-
lessness may urge him.
"The object Of what is here written
Is to trace the sensations born of a
run down from the summit of the Oro-
va Railway, 1866 feet above sea level
to the verge of the Pacific. You start

you finish among humming birds and
palms. You start back with the un-
speakable sickness of soroche. and you
finish in the ecstacy of an exultation
too great for words.

USE OF WATER AT MEALS.

merated five distinct sources of peril
from indulglng that appetency, and
proved that the water instinct Is wrong,
and that nature knows nothing about
It?
The most specious Of these arguments
is the alleged risk that the Introduction
of cold water would coagulate the al
bumen of the lngesta, and thus compli-
cate the labors of the digestive organs.
But is 1t not evident that those organs
should be allowed casting vote In the
decision Of that controversy?
DR.. Schrodt, the author of "Natur-
Heilkunde," holds, on the contrary,
that our diet is not half fluid enough,
and demonstrates that organic warmth
will soon reduce over-cold beverages to
the right medium, and that a craving
which nothing but fresh water will sat

is suffering from an excess of calorlc
and deficiency of moisture.
Just wait, and that distress will sub

subtle chemistry of the organism will
eventually find means to satisfy its
needs from Internal sources, just as the
agony of a famished man will give way
to a dull torpor; the system has made
another forced loan on the reserve
stores of its own tissues, and made the
sufferer little more comfortable,
though also a little leaner. Even thus
the disappointed stomach will make
shift to lead moisture from some other
part Of the organism where it is less
sorely needed and the distress subsidies,

mains, suggesting that the sort Of
moisture reabsorbed from the lower all
mentary duct is not exactly what the
stomach wanted.

FLOWERS FOR OUR RULERS.

Bouquets Are Supplied BountifuliJ to
Congressman and Senators.
Cut flowers are supplied gratuitously
by Uncle Sam to a number of persons
and institutions in the city of Wash
lngton and members of Congress have
come to regard them as among the most
desirable of their perquisites. The
greenhouses from which the flowers
in question come are maintained prin-
cipally to supply the city parks with
the plants which make them such a
feature Of the city's beauty throughout
the greater part of the year. After the
White House is supplied the hospitals
and other public institutions receive
flowers. Many other worthy causes
also share in the distribution. Fam
lilies of members of the cabinet, the
supreme court and legislative members
come next. This custom, which has
prevailed for years, of distributing the
cut flowers is still followed.
Besides the greenhouses in charge of
the Superintendent of Public Buildings
and Ground, and the White House con-
servatory, other gardeners are those of
the Agricultural Department and the
botanical gardens. The latter are I'M
der the direction Of the Senate Com
mittee on Library. The gardens of the
Department Of Agriculture are devoted
largely to the growing OF plants other
than floral.
The flowers from the White House
conservatory are used for daily decora-
tions Of the executive mansion and 1t
Is for state functions and all other or
dlnary occasions that the supply of the

the floral decorations was only a few

ONE CROWN AT A TIME.
Why King Edward Did Not Take Flying
Ship Trip.

King Edward VII, as Is well known,
is much interested in all matters relat-
ing to flying ships, and especially is he
interested in Santos-Dumont ard his
efforts. A few weeks before the coro-
nation it was extensively rumored that
the king had quite made up his mind
to accompany the clever young Brazil
ian in one OF his aerial flights; that he
had, in fact, made all arrangements for
his travel through the air. A certain
we'll known scientific peer asked his
majesty one evening after dinner
whether the rumor concerning the royal
aerial voyage was really true.
"Now, Lord =" answered King Ed
ward, laughingly, sis it likely that 1
would take this flying ship trip? The
coronation has not yet taken place, and
can assure that l wish to wear my
earthly crown before l put on the
other. |"
