How to Drink Water.

A beginning Of kidney trouble lies In
the fact that people, especially women,
do not drink enough water. They pour
Gown tumblcrfuls of ice water az an
accompaniment to a meal, but that Is
worse than no water, the chill pre-
venting digestion and Indigestion being
m indirect promoter of kidney disease.
A tumbler of water slipped In the
morning Immediately on rising. an
other at night are recommended by
physicians. says Good Housekeeping.
Try to drink as little water rs possible
with meals, but take glassful half an
hour to an hour before eating. This
rule persisted in day after day, month
after month, the complexion Will I'm
prove and the general health likewise.
Water drunk with meals should be
slipped as well as taken sparingly.

GOLDFISH CULTURE.
EOw to Manage the Aquarium WitA
Little Trouble.

The care of goldfish is very simple.
They require very little food. A ten
cent box of fish food will last four fish
several months Care should be taken
not to put mere food In the aquarium
than they will consume, say, within the
hour. 1t must not lie and dissolve as
1t will make the water milky. Feed
very little at tme-bcst in the morn
Ing.
The common theory that the water
must be changed every day or two Is
erroneous, says the st. Louis Post Dis
patch, and In cold weather frequent
changing of the temperature IS abso
lutcly injurit.s. OF course where three
or four fish are kept in a gallon Of wa
ter, in dark, poorly ventilated room,
the water must he changed often, but
when an aquarium Is placed where
there Is good light or, still better.
where the sun will shine on it an hour
or two n day, provided with proper
proportion of aquatic plants and suf-
iicicnt quantity of sand for the same
to grow in. there is no occasion to
tIIdIlSc lIlt NiltI tN'fll W itI tllc
aquarium Is to be cleaned. Cleaning
itself Is more matter Of taste than
necessity in many instances. Some
people object to the formation of algp
on the glass; others, again, prefer to
see the glass covered with algn and
the top Of the water with profuse
growth of the plants, thereby giving
the whole n more natural appearance.
When the fish remain down In the
water. II Is an indication that all Is
right, but when they come to the top
and gasp for fresh air It is a sure sign
that the water Is foul or. ut least.
that the oxygen Is exhausted. This
may happen at any time from neglect
of proper care; not otherwise, except
during n long continuation Of cloudy
weather, which intcrferes with the ac-
ton of the plant In the water. Then
change of water becomes necessary.
OF all animal house pets fish are the
least trouble and expense If their treat
ment IS properly understood.

instructed that he needed only a crowbar
an axe and a small number Of policemen
with nerve and few side arms at each
place. He adopted the suggestion and
MADE his raids simultaneously at. all the
weli-known places. first providing wagons
TO haul or the stuff, and conyeyances for
the prisoners. Fhe prisoners were taken to
the jail and locked up, and the stun was
taken to the square and burned up. the

This was in 1881, when Atlanta was

How They Are Granted to Officers and
Enlisted Men.


1.-THE recent service Of our troops in Cuba.
Porto Rico. China and the Philippines has
resulted I'm a number of recommendations
for the bestowal Of medals OF honor and the
granting of certificates OF merit" explained
an officer of the army now stationed in this
city. but great many persons, 1t seems.
are unfamiliar with the regulations relating
to the subject.
Medals Of honor. authorized by the act
Of Congress approved March 3. 1853. are
awarded to officers and enlisted men In the
name OF Congress for particular deeds Of
most distinguished gallantry in action.
Recommendation for award OF medals
must be forwarded within one year after
the performance of the act for which the
award Is claimed. Commanding officers are
required to thoroughly investigate all cases
of recommendations for congressional med
ais arising in their commands, and indorse
their opinion upon the papers to be for
warded to the adtutant general of the army
through regular military channels.
Medals of honor are not awarded to ofn-
GERS or enlisted men except for distin-
guished bravery or conspicuous gailantry,
which shall have been manifested in action
by conduct that distinguishes soldier
above his comrades. and that involves risk
of life.
when any enlisted man OF the army
shall have distinguished himself in the serv-
cate of merit, on the recommendation of the
officer of the regiment or the
chief of the corps to which such man be-
longs. HEffG
Recommendations for a certificate or
merit must originate with an eyewitness.

A German Ambulance Train.
From the Medical Record.


Although 1t Is impossible altogether to
prevent railway accidents it seems at least
that something can be done to relieve the
sufferings of those who have been injured
Both In America and in Germany ambu-
lance trains are now in use, which are kept
ever ready to be sent out for the purpose
of affording speedy relief to the manned.
The train, so far as its narrow limits per-
init, Is as admirably equipped as any mod
ern hospital; its operating room Is fitted
up with an operating table, with all the
necessary appliances of antiseptic surgery.
The ward Of this hospital on wheels has
eight removable beds, which can be used
as litters If need be. Reclining chairs COM
plete the furniture of the ward. Every
German railroad has certain number of
these ambulances trains, the road being d.
vided into section and train assigned to
each. Trains are always side tracked at a
station, ready to be sent out. AS soon as
news Of an accident is received the water
tanks are filled, and the railroad surgeons
who live in the vicinity of the stations
are called by telephone. Even the fast linn
tied trains must give way to the surgeons
and are side tracked in order that the am
bulance may speed to the scene Of the &C
cident. The admirable system which has
been devised renders it possible for the sur
geons to reach the injured within half an
hour after they have been informed :.

rich, and the big firms here have wires
which reach out to every part of the world,
and especially to the vast population Of
the Dutch East Indies.
The big factories of Java are largely
owned by Amsterdam capital, and our
sugar-making machinery and other such
things could be sold through Amsterdam.
The government operates many of the
railroads in the East Indies, and railroad
materials for Sumatra and Java might be
placed here, and the same is true, as far as
the government is concerned, as to water
works, gas plants and electrical undertake

We already have a large trade with Am
sterdam, our goods being shipped from here
to all parts of northern Europe. There Is
a broker near the Dam who deals in Amer
lean shoes, having his trade with the chief
cities of Germany and Austria. American
bicycles are sold on the Kalverstraat, and
our sewing machines and typewriters may
be seen at several places on the same
thoroughfare. You can find our carpenters
tools in a half dozen places, and the same
Is true of American -four.
The flour Is hauled through the streets
on wagons or pushed through the canals
In boats and barges. 1t all comes in bags
OF ITO pounds each, about 10000 such bags
being imported each year.
Our coal is to be seen everywhere 1t

Amsterdam Petroleum Company has three
oil reservoirs which will hold 10000 bar
