A medical practitioner has drawn, attention in the London Chronicle to a@ very important subject in tbe mat- ter of diet. He points out that the stoker grilling in the stakehole of a, Red sea liner and the explorer among | the ice floes of the frozen North—pro- j vided they are heslthy-). 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- ess 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 eause if innumerable-dyspepsias. Bet-- ter than cold: drinks: are hot drinks, | and tea: with a-slice of'lemon is rece ommended as the most cooling. drink; in hot weather. bse: VARIOUS KINDS OF DAYS.. Word-Said to Have No Peal 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: adjeetive defining what kind of a day is meant. There is a civil day, the: 7stronomical day, the.apparent solar say, the mean solar- day, and the .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- ween, 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 Old-Time “Nanna,” A writer in-a recent number-of tre~ Queen expresses the opinion (which is zghared by many other people) that 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” ofthe days gone by. The old nurse still: holds a place in the-hearts of the men and women who knew her loving ccre when they were children, and. taey will never forget’ her “treats’ that used to delight their-hearts: “Bost of all,” says a woman, ‘was-lantern.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 boum” LITERAL IN HIS OBEDIENCE, Scotch Gervant Should Have.Made.an Ideal Scidier. . Scottish highland retainers, when made to do duty as servants, are said to show a v stolid, matter-of-fact Kind of obedience. A Mr. Campbeli, a highland gentleman, visiting a coun- ery house, told Donald to bring every- { thing out of the bedroom, meaning his personal belongings.. But five minutes | later he found all its movable articles |’ -*fender, 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 tm Edinburgh. When the family moved into a house there Mrs. Camp- bell gaye 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;Itcome for ye,” and in spite of her.struggles and remonstrances ushered the visitor into. Mrs. Campbell’s.nresence. Ctto of Roses. Otto or attar of 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.

Weekly. @COD ADVICE FOR ALL.. Cultivate Calmness: if: You, Wish 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 they have been assured that theirs is- not due for: another half:hour, That half’ Hour. 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 boss. of the kennels, “therefore 1 can’t: understand why it is that peo- ple who describe a, certain style of locomotion always call it a dog trot. Judging by the universality of that expression, a body would think that a@ cog never: moves any other way than on a trot. But’ hedoes. All the gaits belonging: to: other, four-fcoted animals are also his. He runs, he lopes, he even racks and paces, so: when a-person in a hurry falls: into a> peculiar. kind of canter, there: would be just: as‘ much sense in speaking of his gait-as-a dog-run or a dog gal- lop, once in a while, as always.to call it a cog trot.” a re Forest of Dwarf Trees... The most extraordinary forest: in the world is: one discovered by Dr. Welwitsch, whieh occupies, a, table- land scme six miles.broad, at a,height of'300 feet or)400: feet above, the sea,, near the Wess Coast.of Africa. The trunks, of tho, trees of this. peculiar ferest are 4 feet in diameter, and yet they only. attain a height, of 1 foot, giving the tree the. appearance of a round table. There are never more than two leaves, which attain a length of 6 feet and a. breadth of 2 feet, the. flowers# forming crimson. } clusters, Stay, Stay at Home.

Otherwise it. cannot, be: aimed: to: the mark. Poise. saves a woman: from wasting energy in,unaimed ‘effort. The cleverer, the more energetic, a woman is, the more -sheneeds correct poise. And few women are. born with it. while many haye yet the alphabet of it to learn, when: they come of age. The exclamation point, in. conversa- tion or life, betrays emotional lack of balance. and waste-of energy. Poise reserves itself ‘forthe right oceasion, ‘| and emphasizes important things with- out need of exclamation. In: other. words; it:sayes its,owner. from unnec- essary, words or:aects, and prepares-her | for.necessary ones. Unless: one have an-aim in, life, poise is never really at: | taimed. It is nat 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 not attempt to secure freedom, of | devoting .ze-larger portion of. their. time and thoughts. to the trivial. | things of life, rebs them of the capac- ity, of enjoying or assimilating much which would add to intellectual growth, says a writer in Maaam.

A well-known: Church of. England missionary among the aborigines of Queensland,, Australia, gained great influence over. a certain tribe in a very peculiar manner. This: tribe had the queer: custom of having the front tooth of the upper jaw knocked out. The missionary, by accident, had lost.this same tooth and replaced it. by a-false one. When he got talking: with the aborigines, he would pull it-out, point.to the-hollow place, and say, “Me, brother, belong. to you!” In this- way he-gained the complet confidence: of’ the tribe, convertei every member of it to Christianity, and introduced as: much civilization, as they were capable of assimilating.

Customs, When a maiden is betrothed in Ger-: many she is- called. ‘bride’ by her sweetheart, who addresses her thus until it: becomes time to call her “wife.” Immediately upon betrotha: the lovers exchange rings, which, if the course:of. true love-runs smoot, are to be worm ewer afterward‘ untit death parts them. ‘The woman wears her betrothal ring on the third /nzer | of her left hand until she is. married, and then it ‘s transferred to the third | finger of her right hand. The his-| bend continues to:weer the ring just | | as the wife wore hers when she was-a | “bride,” so that onescan easily tell i a glance if'a man be or be not mort- | gaged as to his affeetions. \ Memorials to: Americans. | Many -American boys and girls visit | § Europe nowadays, but perhaps few | even of these fortunate young za | are aware that the greatest of Eng: | lish cities.coutains.memorials to five distinguished Americans—a President, a patriot, a poet, a preacher, and a philanthropist.

Bird Sentry,on Guard. I.was-interested on Sunday in watch- ing the movements of birds. Crumb- ling a biscuit, I threw it out, sat down on the. piazza and. awaited results. It was not iong after the birds came and helped themselves before a cat appeared. Then a warning note was sounded by a bird, evidently on guare : on the top of. the piazza, where he could survey the whole scene. At his _ warning every bird disappeared and remained in hiding until a reassuring note was heard from the little sentry posted on the piazza roof—Boston | Record. # | About Books.
