Correspondence of Tur Ev STAR, Cuasret. Point Horse, July 8, 1884. More by accident than otherwise I reached, last Tuesday, Chapel Point, a quiet place about fifty-five miles from Washington city. and situ- ated ashort distance from the shores of the river. Thad never heard of the place, and I was eurprised to find here a new summer resort of no mean character in more than one respect. Many of those places where the invalid seeks improvement of health. the weary rest. and the hard-working mereh: of the city relief from anxiety of mind and over-taxing labor are often poorly adapted to. eatisty the needs and wishes of this class of ladies and gentlemen.

The present proprietors of the place are young men of a very gentlemanly demeanor and uppear to be anxious to make Chapel Point aresort of the better class, while their charges for board and rooms have been put very reason- able, thus affording to those that are not blessed with wealth a comfortable retreat for recrea- tion without embarrassing them in pecuniary respects.

If a “‘competent male head” was needed to govern a school composed of one hundred girls and eleven boys, why em- ploy one who has not taught for ten years? and why, also, engage the services of a young sprig, fresh from college, who never taught a day in lis life, to instruct young giris, just budding into womanhood, in morality?

'TRAMPS IN BONNETS AND SKIRTS, They Live by Frightening or Mislead- ing Women in Country Homes, From the New York Sun, “T heard that you wanted a servant, ma’am, and I came to see if you would hireme. Do you think Pil do?” She was a large, coarse, elderly woman who spoke. Her face was tanned and hardened by wind and sun and rain, and she looked about a: undesirable a servant as could be found in all Orange county, where the lady to whom she | made the application lived, “No, Tam not in need of another servant,” said the lady, very shortly. The woman had so quictly entered the open door of the little coun- try house that she had not been noticed until she spoke. “Then I've been fooled,” she said, with a plain affection of viciousness. ‘I come from Middle- town, twenty miles away, where I was told you were distracted because you couldn't get agood servant.” “Who told you that?” asked the lady. “A Mrs. O'Reilly,” was the reply. “Idon't kuow any®ody of that name, and I know nobody in Middletown. Are you quite sure you are telling the truth?” said the lady. “Quite sure, muin,” replied the visitor, wholly unabashed. “Well, I can’t get back to Middle- town to-night. May I sleep here?” “Oh, no; Impossible,” was the discouraging answer. “I haye hardly room for my own fam- ily in this little house.” ‘But I'd sleep anywhere,in the cellar or inthe barn, you know,” persisted the woman. “You can't sleep here,” replied the lady. “Will you give me a drink of water?” A glass of water was given to her, and she solemnly sniffed at it, and placed it upon the table. She stood up with an indifferently con- cealed battery of abuse in her tace, but seemed suddenly tomake up her mind not to unmask it. She merely remarked: “If you find adead corpse a-hangin’ to the tree infront of the gate inthe mornin’, don't blame me for it,” and she strode away. “Tam very glad you were here,” said the lady tothe reporter. ‘My husband won't be home for an hour, and if I had been alone I should have had hard work to get her to go. She is one of those female tramps.” “A female tramp!” exclaimed the reporter in astonishment. “Why, I never heard of such a thing before.” “Men are very seldom troubled with them,” was the reply, “but they pester us women whose husbands go to the city to business every day. They are all of them pretty old, and I never heard one of them tell a different story from that you listened to. You would be sur- prised to learn how many ladies, either through fear or credulity, are imposed upon, and let them stay all night. And one night is very likely to lead to three or four. If I had given that old woman the slightest encouragement— if I had given her a glass of milk when she asked for water—It would have trebled the dif- ficulty of getting her to go. She won't hang herself outside. She will tell the story she told me until some one allows her to sleep in a barn. ‘The female tramp does not often run any risk in stealing, but if any small article, not likely to be svon missed, is lying within her reach, she is almost sure to carry {t'away. She is less lazy than the male tramp, and, therefore, I think, less honest. Nobody ever sees her asleep in & gitch. She prefers a bed, and almost always contrives to get one. Nor does she travel 80 far over the country, confining herself for the most part to one county. It seems to be a pure love of vagabondism that chains her to the life, for even when she is engaged as a servant she won't work, and resumes her wanderings in a few days. She makes her way toward a city as the cold weather approaches, and passes the a months in the penitentiary or the alms- jouse.” os —_ Strange Scene at a Wedding. London Correspondence of the Sheffield Telegraph. A well-known curate in a northeastern section of London was this morning about tobe married toa young lady residing in the vicinity. The officiating clergyman and the bridegroom had taken up their respective positions at the altar, awalting the bride’s arrival, when suddenly a lady. attired in bridal dress, andaccompanted by two little girls as bridesmaids, entered thesacred edifice, walked hurriedly up the aisle, knelt by the side of the bridegroom, and seized his arm in an excited manner. That gentleman, though somewhat startled, did not loose his presence of mind, and, with the assistance of some ladies, endeavored to persuade the fair intruder to retire. After a scene of some confusion, the lady was removed to a seat, where she was effectual!) screened from any further view of the pros ings, and the ceremony was allowed to proceed without farther interruption.

The temperance people say ‘Drink nothing but water,” and their advice is sufficient—to those who can follow It. But unfortunately the total abstainers do not practice what they and coffee; both of which are powerful stimu- lants. The best rule, for those who can follow it—and in this class may be numbered all healthy peopie—is to drink nothing whatever during the hot hours of the day. What many people, especialiy children, call thirst is only a dryness inthe mouth and throat. This uncomfortable sensation is caused by the general habit of breathing through the mouth. The air taken into the lungs dries the mouth, tongue and upper portion of the throat. Soldiers, on the contrary breathe through their noses, keeping their lips closed; so they entirely escape a torment which is not thrist at all, for thirst, properly speaking, is a demand by the stomach and alimentary tem for more moisture. To drink for the purpose of relieving a mouth made dry by veing open is frequently to overload the stomach with fluids which are not neeéed, and which, consequently, are detrimental to digestion. It is peculiarly injurious, also, for it washes into the stomach all the foul solids which, in the form of dust, find their way into the mouth and throat. Persons who are compelled to cool and moisten their palates should first rinse the mouth with a sip or two ofwater. If, afterward, they feel that they must drink, they should imbibe by single sips. By this inethod they will be as fully satis- fied with a gill of water as with a pint hastily swallowed. Ice water 1s the great American vice, and probably kills more persons than rum. That it is cooling to the entire system cannot be dented, but sudden changes of physical temper- ature from warmth to coolness are always detri- ; mental to health. Actual thirst ts as gnickly | satistied with hot water as withcold. When only ice water is desired the probability person drinking ithas eaten something which | has irritated the stomach. The American rage for salt, pepper and mustard may be charged with much of the inordinate thirst which makes the traveling American a marvel to his European — cousins. Croton water, which has been added _—_one-twentieth part of its weight in ice, is cold enough for any properly fed person. good summer drink. Its stimulating property is beneficial to persons with a sense of ph Gebility; but coffee arrests, temporarily, tural processes of waste, wher: these should be allowed fully | better drink. Taken without sug | but a heaped teaspoonful of s as much physical leat as a quarter of a pound of beefsteak. Sugar Is the most heating of all articles of human consumption, Men who are in ordinary health and are actively moving about during the day will be most comfortable if they | restrict themselves to moderate potations of our most plebeian beverage—beer. The stimulus In beer fs largely diluted, as that of all other drinks should be; so it is slow to act and it has some | Staying effect. Among wines the most ap- propriate to summer demands are those of the | Rhine—when they can be had in undo | ed purity. The C vineyards are quite healthful, in spite of their abominable bouquet. Ciaret is useful in sum- mer. If mixed with its own bulk of water it is stimulating and satisfying. Undiluted claret, in larger quantities than a single glass, is bad in summer tor a person in good physical condition, for it enriches the blood—the reverse result is usually more desirable, at least until a long, hot season has begun to make inroads upon consti- | tutional vigor. Sherry and port are too heating to be drank except in cases of temporary ex- haustion, and champagne, which always is lit- erally a mixed drink, is generally heating to an undesirable degree. ’ There,are Jnany men who have trained themselvesto do several days’ work within the business litnits ofa single day. Asthis requires extreme stimulation, these men drink freely of whisky, brandy or gin throughout the hot weather, and er seem to be any the worse for thelr fiery potations. But let no person of quieter habits imagine that he can safely imbibe with these phenomenal drinkers and escape harm. In brief, the lightest drink is the best in hot weather, and the less the drinker consumes the less the discomfort and debility he is likely to experience between May and October. = ee aie How Cholera Patients Feel. From Twain's Dictionary of Medicine. The patient feels well up to within a few hours of the attack, or, it may be, goes to bed and sleeps soundly through the night, and immedi- ately on rising in the morning is seized with violent purging and vomiting. If Judiclously treated, many patients recover from this, the first stage of cholera; but if neglected, the tendency of the dizease is to row rapidly worse. The patient complains of intense thirst and a burning heat at the pit of his stomach; he suffers also excruciating pain from cramps in the muscles of the extreinities; he is terribly restless; and his urgent cry is for water to quench his thirst, and that some one might rub his limbs, and thus relieve the muscular spasm. The pulse is rapid and very weak, the respira- tions are hurried, and the patients voice becomes husky. His countenance is pinched. and the integument of his body feels inelastic and douzhy, while the skin of his | hands and feet becomes wrinkled and purplish | In color. The duration of this, the second stage of cholera, 1s very uncertain—it may last tor two or three hours only, or may continue for twelve or fifteen hours; but 80 long as the pulse can be felt at the wrist there are still good hopes of the sick person's recovery. The weaker the pulse becomes, the nearer the patient 1s to the third, or collapse, stage of cholera, from which probably uot more than thirty-five percent recover. In the third stage of the disease the vomiting and purging con- tinue, although in a mitigated form, and the skin is covered with a clammy perspiration, es- | pecially If the cramps are stilt severe. The pa- | tient remains terribly restless, longing only for sleep, and that he may be supplied with water. His intellent is clear; but he seldom expresses any anxiety regarding worldly affairs, although fully consclous of the dangerous condition he is in. Sleep and a plentiful supply of drinking- water are the sole desires of a pereon passing throngh the collapse stage of cholera. This condition seldom laste for more than twenty- four hours, and reaction either commences within that period or the patient dies in col- lapse or passes on into the tepid sta;}:, which in ica all na- in hot weather ar it is cooling, car Will generate A lady in the room ventured to suggest that it | thonght, too, that it would have been a good | it his trade as machin- | preach, for most of them make liberal use of tea | ~ | at least $20,000,000; and these are only a few that the | to | Coffee is not a | vbas of our best native | | either!” The lectric Light Wires, From the Boston Transcript.

A Tritune reporter yesterday visited seven toe bacconist’s shops down town. Inall these shops but one, during the few minutes while the re- porter was present, boys of azes ranging ap- parently from six to twelve came in and bought cigarettes boss,” said ont urebin, who came above the counter, and he rattled three cents from his grimy hand on the glass cover of the show-case. From a heap of loose cigarettes on a wooden tray the shopman counted out three to the boy, who grabbed and shot out. only stopping long enough to light one at the jet of gas near the door.

EXTENT OF THE EVIL, As to the number of cigarettes sold to chil dren it is difficult to reach any definite concla- sion. The interna: revenue report for last year gives the number of cigarettes manufactured in this country as 598,772,785. of which New York alone made 444,092,867, divided among 87 different brands. In New York city there are about 2,000 retall tobacconists. Assuming that one-halt of these only sell cigarettes to chil- dren, and that their daily sales averaze only one package,there are then over M0) clear- ettes annuaily sold to children in New York city alone.

There are more interesting cases by far In which excitable persons, knowing their own weakness, have provided themeelves with some mode of exercise on purpose to divert their ex- citement from a hurtful to an innocent channel. ~ An instance of this (remarks Protessor Blackie in Cassels Magazine) we find in the life of Ober- lin, pastor ot Ban de la Roche in the High Alps, n thesouth of France.

Besides being an earnest pastor, he was a maker of roads, a builder of gens reformer oe ithro- plist generally, who transformed his parish from achaos of desolation into a beautiful abode of Christianity, civilization, and comfort.
