How to Drink water.

A beginning of kidney trouble lios
in TIE fact that people, especially
women, do not drink enough water.
They pour down tumblerfuls of ice
water as an accompaniment to a meal,
but that is worse than no water, the
chill preventing digestion, and indi-
gestion being an indirect promoter of
kidney disease. A tumbler OF water
slipped in the morning Immediately on
rising, another at night, are recon-
mended by physicians. Try to drink
as little water as possible with meals,
hut take a glassful half an hour to an
hour before eating. This rule persist
ed in day after day, month after
month, the complexion will improve,
and the general health likewise. Wa
tel drunk with meals should be slipped,
as well as taken sparingly. Good
Housekeeping.

sometbIne About Gardeners,

A skilled gardener commands easily
a salary Of from $500 to $4,000 year.
There are a dozen such men in this
city, who have ten or more assistants,
and who devote their own time only to
the highest branches Of the gardening
art-to making orchid seedlings, to
grating and to originating new species
of flowers. These men write for horti-
cultural magazines and get their pho
tographs in horticultural papers. Some
of them have whole boxes full Of med
ais and ribbons from various flower
shows. AS rule they are foreigners.
They serve. in learning their art, an
apprenticeship that is much longer
than the course of medical college or
law school.-Philadelphia Record.

NEW VERSION OF OLD STORY.
Little italian Boy Declared They Took
Babies Out of Cabbaues.


Babies Out of Cabbages.
There are almost as many versions
Of the stork legend as there are Of the
original creation, but one that com.
bines the familiar features of that
pretty fiction with cabbages is certain
~ unusual.
Such a version was recently told to
an East Side kindergarten teacher by
one Of her Italian pupils.
Just before the morning exercises
began she was sitting at her desk, and
the children were standing in groups
about the room animatedly discussing
their various important affairs, when
suddenly the teacher caught the fol
lowing scrap of their conversation
But they are born in cabbages; ]
tell you know they are"
The speaker was bright-eyed little
Italian boy, who had for his audience
a little Sicilian girl.
"You don't believe that, do you,
teacher?" she queried, turning round.
Believe what, Carlie?" was the in
quiry.
Alberto, he say that babies be
born in cabbages."
why, teacher, of course you be-
lieve it, don't your" inquired Alberto
excitedly
The teacher was rather puzzled,
To say mo" was to shake the child's
faith in his mothers pretty fable, so
she temporized.
Il don't really think ever heard of
their being" said sho.-New York

spectncles and Climate.

DR.. Hull, Of Pasadena, reads a need
ed lesson to Eastern physicians who
are Indifferent to or ignorant Of the
powerful influences for evil of eye
strain upon the general system, and
who send their patients to California
instead Of to the home oculist. 1T is
surprising" he says, "how many neu-
rasthenics cross the continent in search
Of health who have uncorrected errors
Of refraction, which are the largest fac
tors in their breakdowns." The glare
of the SUM- in this land Of sunshine
compels them upon arriving to seek the
local oculist there. who, in relieving
eye strain relieves also the stomach
trouble, the headaches, the insomnia,
depression of spirits, spinal exhaustion,
ETC., for which they came. Even when
there is such organic disease as pull
monary tuberculosis the cure is hast
enod, complicating symptoms relieved
and life made more enjoyable by this
aid.-American Medicine.

hold above a reasonable price and sold
toto the poor at the lowest possible
figures.
The Legislat ure also took hold of the
matter and established n salt bureau
for the benefit of the people. This bu.
reau operated extensive salt works, but
the people were never afforded ade.
quate relief, though the Legislature ap-
propriated $500,OO0 at a time to bug
salt for them and the Governor seized
it right and left when the spectators
charged too much.
Some spectators were not oppressive
or offensive. They let the necessaries
Of life alone and dealt in diamonds,
gold and silver coin and greenbaoks.
They were to lie found in every
Southern town of any size, and their
extravagant and snowy mode of living
made it evident that they had pres
pered.
1t was unpopular to buy specie and
greenbacks, nd those who got rid Of
their Confederate currency in this way
kept their transactions very quiet.
In some localities it was considered
almost reasonable FOR a man to eX-
change Confederate currency for the
currency of the enemy, and in more
than one instance the purchasers were
forced to leave the State.
Never in the States history were
there so many poor people. They were
generally the families Of the soldiers
at the front, and the Legislature ap-
propriated millions of dollars for their
relief.
Frequently the depreciation of Con-
federate money worked great hard
ships.
In some cases men rendered Confed-
crate bills in repayment Of gold, or
other sound money, borrowed q year
before the war.
This was shamefully fraudulent 1t
was very like robbery to force cred
itor to accept rag money when -four
was S1400 a barrel, and sometimes the
creditor would refuse to take the trash
in place Of the gold which he had
loaned as an accommodation.
But the debtor had the advantage.
All that he had to do was to point out
the creditor as a disloyal citizen whose
guilt was clearly proved by his refusal
to take the currency Of the new Gov
ernment.
1t has always been the fashion to get
off jokes and wltticisms at the expense
Of Confederate money.
Some years ago Colonel Henry D.
Capers wrote several chapters of a
history Of this remarkable currency.
The Colonel is inclined to look on the
humorous side Of life, and in his exag-
gerated way he published a statement
TO the effect that, after running the
printing presses all day to supply the
Government with money, the toilers
in the pr9@s room were allowed to run
off bills al night to pay them for their
work.
Things were not quite that bad; but
1t must be admitted that the Govern
ment's constant imitation Of the cur
rency was very serious blow to the
| Confederacy.
However, it may not be amiss to re-
mark that our patriotic forefathers,
although successful in their struggle
for independence, made no effort to
redeem their Continental shinplasters.
"Too much of it," was their excuse,
and they certainly had good grounds
for their Oplnion.--Sunny South.

In the Dreyfus case, unknown to many
Frenchmen, were condded to Univer-

M. Hugues Leroux, French lecturer,
who declared Dreyfus admitted bis
guilt at the time he was pardoned. He
said:
"Captain Dreyfus was not only
guilty Of conspiracy against the French
government but confessed to a num-
Der of other charges and asked for
mercy when signing his petition for
pardt tn."
M. Lerous explained that his knowl-
edge came largely from the fact that
ie was asked by friends Of Captain
Dreyfus to take up his defense.
