WATER AS A BEVERAGE.
Flattest After an Apple and Coolest

Fiattest After an Apple and Coolest
After Peppermint Drop.
water is the finest drink in the
world" said the epicure in little
things, "but not every one knows how
to get the most enjoyment out of
drinking it.
'For instance, water should never be
drunk Immediately after an apple has
been eaten, for as beverage it then
has a taste more fiat and insipid than
as if 1t had been taken from a cold
teakettle.
"On the other hand, there is nothing
to my mind that makes water taste
more cool and refreshing (lot counting
actual thirst than to eat peppermint
drop before taking dsink of it.
and, while peppermint stands at the
head, drink Of water is particularly
aud noticeably good after any wafer
or lozenge. Popcorn, on the other
hand, takes all the animation out of a
subsequent swallow of water.
Nor do bread and water go well to-
gether. The water takes the sweetness
out of the bread, and the bread takes
the liyeliness out of the water and
makes 1t fiat beyond degree.
''The tyrant who first hit upon bread
and water as a prison fare of punish
ment knew his business
1.-THE enjoyment of a drink of water
varies. too, with what you drink it
from. You would not offer to a sick
person a drink OF water in a cup. but
rather in a glass, the thinner the bet
ter. The fact that the water itself in
all its limpid clearness is present to
the sense of sight stimulates an expec-
tation that is gratihed along with the
sense Of taste.
Il have frequently observed men
about to drink some other beverage
than water, and 1t appears to nc al
very common habit with them to re-
gard the liquid steadily for some sec
onds before swallowing it, often ho,d-
ing it ON level with their eyes IN
order to see it as clearly as possible.
Surely this lesson should not be lost
upon the man who knows that there is
no drink like water. While you are
drinking 1t enjoy It,

DRAWING THE LONG BOW"
Some Remarkable Exploits Credited to
Shooters of Arrows.

Some Remarkable Exploits Credited to
Shooters of Arrows.
The expression drawing a long bow
does not of necessity mean the telling
of a falsehood. 1t sometimes refers to
a wonderful story which may be true
enough. but which is so marvellous as
to require firm trust in the veracity
of the narrator to enable the nearer to
believe it, Some of the longest bows
of this sort have been drawn about
bows and arrows.
These stories began long ago. Vir-
gil in the ".Fneid' tells of four arch
ers who were shooting for prize, the
mark being pigeon tied by Il cord to
the mast Of ship. The first man hit
the mast. the second cut the cord. and
the third shot the pigeon as It flew
away. The fourth archer, having
nothing left to shoot, drew his bow
and sent his arrow flying toward the
sky with such speed that the friction
of the air set the feathers on fire, and
ii swept on like a meteor to disappear
in the clouds.
.
archery, illustrated by his wonderful
performance as Locksley in SCOTS
'Ivanhoe," are also a decided strain
upon modern credulity. The famous
story of William Tell. doubted by
many persons. is believed by others to
have a foundation of fact There was
a Dane named Eoke of whom the same
story is told. and William of Cloudes>
ley, an Englishman, is said to have
shot an apple from his sons head
merely to show his experiences.
Most stories of bows and arrows re-
late to the accurate aim of the archers.
but a Frenchman, Blaise de Vigenene
tells one that shows the tremendous
force with which an arrow may be pro-
PEELED If the bow be strong and long
enough. According to his own account
of the matter he saw Barbarossa, a
Turk. admiral of a ship called the
Grand Solyman, send an arrow from
his bow right through a cannon ball.
Whether the cannon ball had 4 hole
us, probably not considering SO trifing
matter worth mention.
Perhaps the most astounding of all
stories about arrow shooting is that of
the Indians that used to inhabit Flor
ida. 1t is said that a group of them
would form a circle, then one would
throw an ear of Indian corn into the
air. The rest would shoot at it and
shell it Of every grain before it fell to
the ground Sometimes the arrows
would strike it 50 hard and fast that
it would remain suspended i'll the air
for several minutes. and the cob never
fell until the last grain had been shot
away.
It is such stories as this which fully
justify the use to which the expression
drawing the long bow" is sometimes
put-Chcago News.

He brushes cheerily along, knocking

his wisdom, or his ambitious schemes.
People feel sort of pleasure just see

Such men are a blessing to a town.
They make one feel that the town is
growing, is getting more beautiful,

doesn't meet such men, and then he
feels that the town is degenerating,
that things are going wrong. and that
