WATER AS A BEVERAGE.
Flattest After an Apple and Coolest
After Peppermint Drop.

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 1t then
has a taste more fat and insipid than
as if it had been taken from a cold
teakettle
ION the other hand, there Is nothing
to my mind that makes water taste
more cool and refreshing (not counting
actual thirst than to eat peppermint
drop before taking drink of it.
"And, while peppermint stands at the
head, drink of water is particularly
and noticeably good after any wafer
or lozenge. Popcorn, on the other
hand takes all the animation out of q
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 liVeliness out of the water and
makes it fat beyond degree.
1.-THE tyrant who first hit upon bread
and water as 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 sick
person a drink Of water In 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 gratified along with the
sense Of taste. ---------.SasssnrsssSEzs=A<

A LONG walk

ENJOYED BY TWO LOCAL
ATTORNEYS.

Captain Nicely has been having a
great deal Of fun and some notoriety
out of his red devil automobile since
receiving, it some weeks ago. His
latest Interesting experience occurred
yesterday when he and John L. Leh-
man started for Morgantown yester-
day. Not having the proper lubrica.
ton the wheels refused to move when
the pair reached smithtown and after
a hurried consultation the attorneys
decided to abandon the stubborn ma
chine and continue their trip by rail.
Throwing their coats over their arms
they struck out for opekiska. They
reached that village just in time to
see the train leaving, but they were
not to be outdone like that, so they
kept onward following the railroad
track on crosstie ticket to the Uni
versity city.
They are both very retlceut when
talked to on the subject, but it is I'M
derstood that they had an enjoyable
trip.

interest. AS the trustees have com
plete charge OF It, Mr.. Ryan will not
be forced to bother much about 1t.
In the last two years Ryan has coYsel
to be recognized as the most important
man in Wall street. What Jay Gould,
the elder Vanderbilt alal j. Pierpont
Morgan have. been at various other pc
RODS, Mr.. Ryan was until few weeks
ago, when he gave up the strenuosities
of life in the street for the ease of a
country gentleman.
Hardly has any financial pie been
cut but that the master manipulation
at 30 Nassau street had finger in it.
All the other hig chieftains of the
street sought his ard before attempting
anything, and If they could not have
him for an ally at least assured them
selves of his neutrality.
Mr.. Ryan is only three years older
than Gates. He started his career in q
Baltimore dry goods house in 1868, but
this was too slow a way to make mon
ey for the man who was eventually to
be tossing millions around in the mar
ket, and in 1870 he went to New York
to try his luck there. z

There are those who say that his re

rying him into the United States SEN
ate, and there was also a wild rumor
that he had designs on the presidency.
But Mr.. Ryan will admit neither
story. His answer is that having
made the pile which he set for him
self he needs no more, and thinks he
has a right to settle back and enjoy
THE remainder of his days in luxuri-
Gus ease.
The only interests which Mr.. Ryan
mas not either sold or transferred are

These are the Morton Trust com

Extraordinary Duel That Was Ar

extraordinary Duel That Was Ar
ranged by a Doctor.
An extraordinary duel, which at the
time created an immense sensation,
was one in which the decision was ar
rived at not by swords or pistols but
by means of deadly poison. The
men, who, it Is hardly necessary to
say, had fallen out over a lady, had
left the arrangement of details to
their seconds, and until they faced
each other they did not know by what
method they were to settle their diff
ferences.
One of the seconds was a doctor
and he had made up for the occasion
four black pellets, all identical in size
and shape. I'm one Of these" he said,
Il have placed a sufficient quantity of
prussic acid to cause the almost in
staneous death OF any one who swal-
lows it.
I'VE will decide by the toss of a
coin which one Of y,u is to have
first choice and you will alternately
draw and swallow a pill until the
poison shows its effect" Two of the
pellets were then taken as the toss
had decided, but without effect in
either case. This time said the doc
tor, speaking of the two pellets re-
naming, you must both swallow the
pill at the same instant The choice
was again made and in few seconds
one OF the men lay dead on the grass.
