Though they difser on various other points, all the cAristian sects agree in the ob- sarvance of the natal day of the Foun- der of their faith.

DESERT THIRST.
It's Five Phases, Two of Which Mean
Certain Death.

It's Five Phases, Two of Which Mean
Certain Death.
Half of the people dying from desert
thirst perish In thirty-six hours, a quar-
ter within forty-eght or fifty hours and
all others of which the history is known
within eighty hours.
The phenomena of desert thirst may
be arranged In three stages-nameIy,
normal thirst, functional arrangement
and structural degeneration. These
three stages are made up of five phases
the clamorous, cotton mouth phase,
the shriveled tongue, the blood sweat
and the living death. There is hope in
saving the lives of the victims whose
thirst is diagnosed in the first three
phases, but for the fourth and fifth
death is certain.
The clamorous phase Of desert thirst
may be relieved by water, or in some
instances fruit acids or similar sub
stances. The second, or cotton mouth,
phase should be treated by giving the
victim quarts of water taken in small
sips and flooding his body. Practically
the same treatment may be applied to
the third, or shriveled tongue, phase,
with the addition of a medicine to
counterfeit the fever and a tonic for the
heart. Water would only prove a
damage in the fourth, or blood sweat
phase, and even If 1t were possible to
satisfy the thirst Of the victim his
mental condition would never be clear
Death from thirst is often painless

Odd ParIOr Ornaments and a Very

There is a practical minded million
aire who has invented a substitute TO
valuable pictures which it is hoped will
act commend itself to others. He has
lad large number of bank notes
framed, and these are hung upon the
wall where the pictures should be.
In the drawing room Is one frame
that contains bank note for 100000,
and he says: There is the money in
case find picture which is sufficient.

Meanwhile the note tells its own tale
and saves me from explaining to my
visitors that this picture cost so much,
as most other rich men do.
"The chief pleasure of these collectors
appears to arise not from the beauty Of
the work, but from the cost of it; then
why not have checks or bank notes for
large sum hung on the walls, as dol
Besides, find that 1t Is much more in.
teresting to my visitors, for most Of
them look long and carefully at the
bank notes who would but glance at
the work OF art"
This eccentric man gave dinner on
the same principle. In the soup plates
there was no soup, but sovereigns; for
fish were served five-pound notes, for
game checks and for sweets shares In a
thriving company. and there was not a
guest who did not enjoy this enter
tainment more than any he or she had
ever before been present at.-London

Hot Drinks For Thirst,

1t is a mistake to suppose that cold
drinks are necessary to relieve thirst.
Very cold drinks, as rule, increase
the feverish condition Of the mouth
and stomach and so create thirst. Elk
pelience shows it to be fact that hot
drinks relieve the thirst and cool of
the body when it is in an abnormally
heated condition better than ice cold
drinks 1t is far better and safer to
avoid the use of drinks below go de-
grees. In fact, higher temperature is
to be preferred, and those who are
much troubled with thirst will do well
to try the advantages to be derived
from hot drinks instead Of cold fluids,
to which they have been accustomed
Hot drinks also have the advantage
of aiding digestion instead of causing
debility of the stomach and bowels.

The Chateau de Rambouillet has a
history remote from the literary fad of
the eighteenth century which has made
the word Rambouillet significant of an
epoch of French culture 1t was in
this chateau that Francis l. breathed
his last and Charles X was deserted
In his death. 1t Is not generally
known, however, how Louis XVI. be-
came its proprietor. Until 1875 Ram
bouillet belonged to the Due de Pen
thievre, grandson Of Louis XIV. and
Nine. de Montespan. Louis XVI. wish
ed very much to possess 1t. This de-
sire became fixed passion, which was
augmented by his dislike of its own
er. But one day he declared. 1.-The
possession of Rambouillet would be
the happiness of my life" To which
the duke graciously replied: God for
bid that l should be the cause of your
unhappiness. Sire, Rambouilet is
yours on your own terms" The price
fixed was 100000 francs, of which
100000 were paid the next day In
gold from the royal treasury.

WATER IN TURKEY.

Must Meet Many Conditions to BE q
Perfect Beverage.
Turks are extremely particular"
writes a traveller. Gin regard to the
quality of the water they drink and
are willing to be at much trouble and
expense to obtain water of the kind
they prefer. To be a perfect beverage
water must issue from rock, fall from
a height. be of medium temperature,
flow rapidly and copiously, taste sweet,
spring in high and lonely ground and
run from south to north or from east
to west The excellence of any water
Is accordingly determined by the num-
Der OF these conditions 1t fulfllS. 1t is
remarkable how much pleasure Turks
find in visiting a famous spring in the
country, to spend the whole day beside
it under the shade of trees, doing little
else than drink carafe after carafe of
the water as the elixir Of life. Resorts
Of this description abound on the shores
and in the valleys of the upper Bos-

Miss Noah.

A child was brought to Yorkshire
vicar for baptism. AS he was told
that the name was to be Noah, he nat
urally referred to the infant as he"
in the course Of the service. Soon he
felt his surplice pulled by one of the
women, who whispered to him that
sit was lass"
"But Noah is not girls name" said
the parson.

Their
An adjournment was made to the
vestry to settle the point. The father
said that whenever he had a child to
be named he opened the Bible and
chose the first name of the proper sex
that met his eye. The clergyman in
sisted that in the present case a mis-
take had been made. whereupon the
father opened the Bible at Numbers
XVI 33, and read, "The names of the
daughters Of Zelophehad were Noah"
etc.
