time an old friend of mine Started
a paper way down South and sent a
copy to me and l subscribed just to
encourage it and after while it
published an order to sell a lot at
public auction. So l enquired about
the lot and told friend to run it up
to $50. He bid off the lot at S3s and
sold it in less than a month for 500,
so l made $26 clear, by taking that
paper. My father told me that when
he was a young man he saw notice
in a paper that school teacher was
wanted away off in distant county,
and he went and got the situation.
A little girl was sent to him, and

WATER As A Beverage.
Flattest After an Apple and Coolest
After Peppermint Drop.
brooklyn Citizen.)

brooklyn Citzen.)
Water it 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 taste more fiat and insip-
id than If it had been taken from
a cold teakettle.
"On the other hand, there is moth
ing to my mind that flakes water
taste more cool and refreshing mot
counting actual thirst than to eat a
peppermint drop before taking a
drink of it.
"And, while peppermint stands at
the head, a drink of water is parti-
cularly and notieeably good after
any wafer or lozenge. Popcorn, on
the other hand, takes all the anima=
ton out of subsequent swallow of
water.
"Nor do bread and water go well
together. The water takes the sweet
ness out of the bread, and the bread
takes the liveliness out of the water
and makes 1t fiat beyond degree.
''The tyrant who first hit upon
bread and water as prison fare Of
punishment knew his business.
"The enjoyment of a drink of wa
ter varies, too, with what you drink
it from. You would not offer sick
person drink of water in cup. but
rather in a glass, the thinner the bet
ter. The fact that the water itself
in all it's limpid clearness is present
to the sense of sight stimulates an
expectation that is gratified along
with the sense of taste.
Il have frequently observed men
about to drink some other beverage
than water, and it appears to be a
very common habit with them to re-
gard the liquid steadily for some sec
onds before swallowing it, often hold
ing it on a 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.
For my own part; | like water
from big tin dipper even better
than from thin tumbler, but best
of all drinking dishes for me is

the better if l have made it myself.
dip a full dipper from the CEN

look to see how limpid it is against
