One of the best meth- ods of taking water as a medicine is in four doses—a glassful half an hour before breakfast, one in the middle of the morning, another in the middle of the afternoon, and a final one on re- tiring at night. If cold water before breakfast is distasteful hot may be substituted. Taken at these times, when the stomach is comparatively empty, water is cleansing and purify- ing and tonic in its effect. It sometimes happens that indiges- tion is the result, not of too little water, but of too much at the wrong time.

Some Opinions of Royalties Not Intend- ed for Publication. A London paper gives an interesting account of an album owned by the Queen of Greece, to which many royal personages have contributed. Some of the opinions expressed in the book are decidedly amusing. To the question, “What is your idea of happiness?” the King of Greece replied: ‘Always to have a sovereign without a crown.” The King of Sweden was asked what was his conception of real unhappi- ness,and answered that he could think of nothing worse than tight shoes, a corn and a heavy foot on it. When Edward VII. was requested to reveal the person against whom he bore the greatest grudge, he answered:_ “The man who insists upon pointing his umbrella at me and _ exclaiming, ‘There he is!’” The Emperor of Aus- tria gave a different answer to this query, and said he could think of no person whom he disliked more than the man whose customary greeting was: “Good heavens, how old you look!” The Empress of Russia an- swered the same question as follows: “For me there is no person more dis- agreeable than the woman who con- siders her children the healthiest in the world and who looks upon other children as being very intelligent, but fearfully weak and delicate.” Blessing the River Neva. If the present moderate weather con- tinues in Russia the ice in the River Neva will soon break up, and there- upon will occur the blessing of the river, an annual event of national im- portance to Russia. On the day when the river first, shows signs of being released from its winter bonds, the solemn ceremony of blessing the waters is performed by the high dignitaries of the Greek Church, in the presence of the Czar. The ceremony takes place at St. Peters- burg, opposite the Winter Palace of the Czar, in a pavilion decorated with sacred pictures. On the pavilion platform are as- sembled the high officials of state, and below the steps, in two lines facing each other, appear the Russian priests in their splendid vestments. The average number of days dur- ing which navigation is possible is 218, the least 172, and the greatest 279. Recently ice breaking vessels have been introduced. California » Land of Contrasts. California is indisputably a land of contrasts. It has fertile lands and the ocean in the west and the desert in the east, the region of eternal summer is found in the south and a land of rugged winter in the north; it has plains devoid of vegetation and its groves of “big’ trees, the largest in the world; also, there is to be found in the state some of the finest scen- ery in the world and some of the most desolate of landscapes. Thep, too, in the matter of elevation, which has a decided influence upon conditions of temperature, altitudes vary from a point 400 feet below the level of the sea, in Death Valley, to more ‘than 14,000 feet above—in fact, California has the highest and lowest land of any state in the Union. (The Man They Wanted. When John Stuart Mill ran for Par- lament in Westminster he was asked at one of the meetings, chiefly com- posed of the working classes, whether ne had ever published the opinion that the working classes of England, though they differed from those of other coun- teies in being ashamed of lying, were generally liars. He answered without hesitation that he had, whereupon there was vehement applause. The first workingman who spoke after Mr. Mill’s admission said amid cheers that the working classes wanted friends, not flatterers. Mill won his election, * ah meets first and third Fridays each month at Odd Fellows ball. ; Joun HEPFEL, Sachem. B. F. HUSON POST G. A. R. No. 140: meets the last Friday of each mouth in Post hall.
