Drinking Water.

Ice water ought never to be taken
with ones meals and as little as posi-
be between meals. One never knows
what is being taken into the stomach
in water filled with Clipped ice. 1t is
safer to fill bottles with water and al
low them to stand beside ice to chill
until required.
Tests have been made which show
that one gill of ice water, which means
an average tumblerful, poured hastily
down the throat reduces the tempera
ture of the stomach from 100 degrees to
70 degrees, and it takes more than half
an hour to recover the heat it has lost.
Cold water slowly slipped will not be

when presented to NJ. Schnetz himself
boldly tapped him on the chest and, to
the joy of the 'ancien' Students, ex-
claimed: II know that joke, old chap.
No use trying it on mev'
The joke is the richer since it marks
the passing of one of the best jokes at
this famous institution. For years it
had been the custom for the older stu
dents to have one of their number in a
dress coat presented with all due solem-
nifty to the new students.
Still another joke is for the older
students to capture a couple of new
corners and after conducting them to
their rooms thrust them in and lock
the door, leaving them face to face
with donkey tied between the beds
Each year the saloon Of the villa is
transformed into a gala place, and the
spectator finds himself in the midst of

Chicago wandered some years ago a
little Italian boy with a concertina.
With a businesslike air he faced the

unusual character of the people before
him and the incongruity of his shabby

fell, and he turned away with his big,

A Promenade With a Tiger.

Among those remembered by the
king in his distribution Of coronation
donors was Sir Edward Bradford, chief
commissioner of police for the city of
London, who was made a baronet.
Sir Edward has held his present posi-
ton for ten years and has at all times
displayed an unfailing tact and a
broad capacity for dealing with the
complicated situations which are so
frequently presented for his considera-
ton. The chief commissioner has but
one arm. He lost the other in a hunt
ing accident when he was a good deal
younger than he is now. He was shoot
Ing in India and came to close quar-
tiers with a tiger. He fired at the ami
NAL, but the bullet only inflicted a
slight wound. The tiger sprang upon
him and fastened it's teeth in his left
Rrm just above the elbow. Sir Ed
ward had presence of mind sufficient
10 realize that it would be fatal to
struggle and in spite of the great pain
actually walked a few steps beside his
captOr in the direction OF the animals
lair. He was fortunately prevented
6rGm continuing this most unusual
promenade by companion, who shot
the tiger. but the bitten arm was so
badly nlanSlcd that it had to be ampu-
ia ed at the shoulder. One of the nOta-

The Senses and Linz arfs

The fine arts are each distinctly as
sOciated with one of the senses. With
out sight there would be no enjoyment
of painting. sculpture or architecture
for us. Without hearing music would
not exist. Without taste we should
fail to appreciate cookery, which in all
civilized communities has been reck-
Oned in it's highest phases as fine art.
There are. therefore, two senses left
that have at present no artistic repre-
sentativeS-thOse Of smell and of touch.
During the later empire at Rome the
former was cultivated as fine art,
and symphony of scents came to be
spoken of i'll the same category as one
of sounds. The fashion died out when
Rome fell from its high estate, but
there is nothing more inherently alb
surd or impossible in a fine art of
OdOrs than in one of cOlOrs. Touch is
less adaptable, but the development Of
wireless telegraphy and through it of
thought transmission by minimum of
mechanical means may yet raise that
sense to the dignity of having an art
corresponding with its utility.
