Doctor,Consicers Imporiant Subject in- the Matter of Diet. A medical practitioner has drawm, attention in the London Chronicle to a very important subject in tbe mat- ter of diet. He points out that the stoker grilling in tke stakehole of a Red sea liner and the explorer among the ice floes of the frozen North—pro- vided they are nheslthy-. men—have identical temperatures. The:automat- ic heat--egulating -mechanism- in. the body, no matter what tha thermom- eter may register outside, sees that the body is kept at a normal tempera- ture of about 98.6 degrees: Fahrenheit. in order to assist this wonderfull proc- @ss in extremes of- weather, it: is necessary to consider the subject of}; food, and one of the most important items of food in hot weather is water. Water, as the writer points out, is a; food, and it should be takea in sum- mer weather as a regular article of diet. The habit of drinking iced wa- ter is discountenanced, and the’ Ice cream is barred as the most fruitful cause if innumerable-dyspepsias. Bet-. ter than cold: drinks: are hot drinks,. and tea: with a slice of'lemon is rec- ommended as the most cooling drink: in hot weather. oe VARIOUS KINDS OF DAYS.. Word.Said to Have No Meal Meaning, Without Defining Adjective. Five kinds of-day are recognized, and’ it has been said that the word “day” has no real‘meaning without an, adjective defining what kind of a day is meant. There is a civil’ day, the: 7stronomical day, the. apparent solar eay, the mean solar-day, andthe sid- ereal day, The civil-day begins at:the. midnight preceding mean noon; and consists of twenty-four hours counted after twelve o'clock; the astronomical! day begins twelve hours after the civil day, or at the mean noen of the cor- responding civil day. These hours: are reckoned from 0 to 24. It will be seen, therefore, that’ while 10nr. 12min., January 1st astronomical time, is also 10hr. 12min. January 1st: civil: time, yet 22hr. 12min., January 1st as- tronomical time, is also 10hr. 12min. a. m., January 2nd civil time. There are many anomalies growing out of* this use Of the civil day, and there are many arguments in favor of using the astronomical day. It is one of ‘the reforms which undoubtedly will come. some time. The -O!d-Time .“Nanna.”” A& writer ina recent number-of lre- Queen expresses the opinion (which is zhared by many other people) tbat children. are. not- one whit better brought up by the smart, white- frocked, certificated: nurses so much sought after nowadays than they were by the comfortable “Nanna” of the days gone by. The old nurse still holds a place in the hearts of the men and women who knew her loving ee8 when they were children, and. taey will never forget: her “treats’ that | used to delight their hearts. “Best of '| all,” says a woman, “was-dantern:tea, when all the lights were -put ‘out, and; the nursery was illuminated by penny tin lanterns, containing colored can- dles, which cast weird shadows cn tho solemn faces round the festive boutw” LITERAL IN HIS CBEDIENCE, Servant Should Have Made. an Ideal Scidier. i Scottish inghland retainers, when made to do duty as servants, are said toe show a very stolid, matter-of-fact | kind of obedience. A Mr. Campbell, | a highland gentleman, visiting a coun- wry house, told Donald to bring every- ; thing out of the bedroom, meaning his i personal belongings., But five minutes | ater he found all its movable articles -sfender, fireirons and the like—piled up in the,lobby, so literal was the poor man’s sense of obedience to orders! And of this he gave a still more ex- twaordinary preof during his sojourn m Edinburgh. When the family moved into a house there Mrs. Camp- bell gave him very particular instruc- tions regarding visitors, explaining they were to be shown into the draw- ing room, and used the Scotticism, “Carry any ladies that call upstairs.” The first visitors were- two women who came at the same time. Donald seized one in his arms, said*to the other, “Bide ye there till;I"come for ye,” and in spite of her.struggles and remonstrances ushered the terrified visitor into. Mrs. Campbell’s.nresence. Ctio of Roses. Otto or attar uf roses is the frag- rant, volatile. essential oil extracted from the petals of roses and ‘is obtain- ed by distilling the flowers with water. Essential oils are so-calle® on account of their possessing in a concentrated | form the odor characteristic of the plant or vegetable substances from which they are obtained—being as it were the essence of the plant. Al- though roses are found growing wiid in nearly every part-of the world, it is only in France, Turkey and India that they are cultivated for their per- fume. The Turkish oil is the one eommorly found in the market. Otto of roses is the basis of al! genuine rose perfume and is very expensive: Scotch . derneath them. » Stevenson. “VICTIM: OF MANY DEATHS. Verdict of. Coroner’s Jitry cn Body of- Wrecked. Sailor. Records of the ancient city Gorge fana, founded in 1640, better. known at the present time as. Yark Harbor, Me, contain. many quaint.and unusual ste. ries of the early life of, the town, At the entrance. to York Harbor a bold promontory known as Stage Neck extends. some distance into, the sea, trom which formerly in stormy weath- er a temporary light in the form of a lantern hoisted upon an upright. pole was displayed as a warning to. mari. ners. One. dark winter night, a. sloop: was. wrecked on these rocks. A, survivor, on being questioned. about the catas- trophe, said: “The vessel, struek, turned over an her side, and the skipper and another. barrel of. whiskey rolled overboard.” The local coroner, was summoned, and this somewhat. startling: verdict was returned; “We find that:the deceased fel from | the masthead and was killed;.he roll ed. overboard and. was, dyewneds he floated ashore and froze to death and the rats eat him. up alive!”—Harper's Weekly. G@COD ADVICE FOR ALL.. Cultivate Calmness: if: You Health and. Happiness. . A. beautiful woman gaye the follow: ing advice to a girl admirer: “Shield your-nerves and don't let thera become too-sensitive.. Make yourself take life. calmly. If you lose a train don’t. pace the platform wildly, but inquire when the next comes in, and sit down calm- ly to wait for: it, That's just; what most women don’t do}, they sit. down, perhaps, but they, tap-the fleor with their feet, clinch and unclinch their hands, and are apparently in a- fever: heat of excitement over the arrival of every train that-comes.in, even though Wish they have been assured that theirs is- not due for: another half-hour, That half*lour. of waiting means to, them a frightful’ wear and“tear of nerves | and they are practicalty weeks: older for-it: Try: to cultivate-calmness, but, if you cannot do that all at.once, you: can; keep your face still.” “Bog Trot” a- Misnomer. “Dogs have a variety of gaits,” said the bass. of the kennels, “therefore 1 can’t: understand why it is that peo- ple who describe a. certain style of lccomotion always call it a dog trot.

Rest for the Bedridcen. In cases where absolute rest of the body is necessary, and the patient \'gets very weary cf lying still, a most welcome rest and change to the limbs >can be managed by the nurse raising the knees of the, patient. well up in bed, and then putting a good, substan- tial pillow or bolster, well packed un- In time, of course, tke patient wearies of this position, then the support should be with- drawn, and fresh relief is afforded.

Means Collecting and Balancing of the Vital: Farces.. Poise must. not be confounded with pose. It is not an attitude or an af- fectation, as. so,.many women seem to. think in, disregarding it,. says Har- per’s- Bazar. It is. really a: prepara- tion: The arrow is. poised. for: flight. Otherwise it. cannot, be: aimed to the mark. Poise saves 2 woman. ‘from wasting energy in,unaimed effort. The cleverer, the more energetic, a woman jis, the more-she:needs correct poise. | And few women are born with it. while many have yet the alphabet of it to learn, when: they come of age. The exclamation point, in. converga- tfon or life, betrays emotional lack of” balance. and waste-of energy. Poise reserves itself ‘for the right oceasion, ‘ and emphasizes important things with- out need of exclamation. In: other words, it:sayes its..owner, from unnec- | essary, words or:acts, and prepares-her | for-necessary ones. Unless:one have { an-aim in life, poise is never really at- | tained. It is nmt mere»repose. It is | the collecting ‘amd balancing of one’s. forces, Seeking the Large. Life. The habit which many women. have formed and from which they apparent- ly do noi attempt to secure freedom, of devoting vse. larger portion of. their time and thoughts. to the trivial things of life, robs them of the capac- ity cf enjoying or assimilating much which would add to _ intellectual growth, says a writer in Maaam. The | woman. who sees nothing from day to | day but.the four walls-of her abiding | place often quite naturally becomes: | narrow in her thoughts. She even lacks the incentive to commune with great minds through reading. But in- terest: in that. which. bes: serves hu- manity skould not limited by the lines of sex..

In the: early days, when doctors used stren- | uous methods and medicines: in: the’: eure: cf diseasa, there was a habit’ | among: them of’ treating certain dis: eases of the throat with a pleasant liquid; which was applied by: the. tip of a long feather plucked from a.|} cock’s tail..

Sitting and rising- may: be motions: | cf-ease and grace or suggest the ma- | neuvers of a-seal. To fall into a seat | with a thump and spill all-over it is not pretty, nor is it necessary. The weman-who takes a seat in this way clutches wildly at- anything in reach wher she attempts to rise, and strug- gies awkwardly to her feet. Control, of: the, muscles will prevent. all this, ; and the heaviest woman may get up and down with some degree of grace and ease with a little care and prac- tice. Boy Weather.

Addison, German Betrothal. Customs. When a maiden is betrothed in Ger- many she is. calle@. “bride” by her sweetheart, who addresses her thus | until it. becomes time to call her “wife.” Immediately upon betrothe: the lovers exchange rings, which, if the course of. true love-runs smooth, are to be worm ever afterward ‘until death parts them. The woman wears her betrothal ring on the third ‘ of her left hand until she fs, married, and then it ‘s transferred to the third | finger of her right hand. The-hus- | bend continues to.wear the ring just | as the wife wore hers when she was-a | “bride,” so that onescan easily tell ai a glance if a man be or be not mort- gaged as to his effeetions.
