No 1 man who eats and deinke carelexely on a hot day will have this comfortable pain. A mistake 111007 111011111181(8 la not to drink entil they aro thirsty, and 1101 to drink any thing at all cool until they are hot. A. man may get up in the morning and feel fairly comfortable ; ho will oat his breakfast and drink but little. 1,1 hen he gets to Isis work lit will be warmer and be wil1 be warmer ; he will then drink boor, soda water, lemon- ade, or ice water. In a little while he will be thirstier and he will drink some more of the same, From this time on, as the thermometer 038e5,110 will become hotter und thirstier. It is not that he has not taken enough fluid to quench any amount of thirst, but that the fluid was not taken until he wart thirsty, and therefore does 1101 1311811010 lois thirst at ono. Eating satisfies hunger almost at once, but the food is not taken into the system for several hours, until the digestion and assimilation axe completed. It is so with thirst 80018 111000 than with hunger. Thirst is a local feeling, but it means that there is not 0000311 wnter in the syetem. Pouring water down the throat puts realer into the stomach, but not into the system for some thne afterward, particularly if the water is cold. Coffee and tem quench thirst mere rapidly when they 8,re hot than when they are cold, because 13107 3800 assimilated more quickly. Then after the victim of the heat is load• ad up with cold water lie begins to perspire more freely. This means that he has put into himself more water than his system de• mends, that the heat and his overloaded system combined axe working. it off. As the perspiration tricklea down his face, he goes and takes more drinks, and so keeps the uncomfortable round until night, when he tosses around damp and uncornfortable. In the Same way that a short run exhausts a inan's breath and makes bim sweat more than a long leisurely walk, so a lumber of iced drinks poured in rapidly tire a man more, and make him sweat more, than a moderate =omit of fluids taken at long intervals, of time. The best time to drink a in the morning. The stomach is empty, and the fluids will be oexried through the system and into the blood more Speedily. A pint of mederately cool water then will do more to relieve thirst during the day than ten glasses of beer or soda water in the afternoon. •A man is somewhat like a l000motive ; if the water is not judiciously administered to the boiler, there is an explosion. The time to lay in the supply of fluids is before the man starts for the day. 11 110 wants to drink any more, he may drink it slowly, and should not have it so cold that it will inflame the throat and the stomach, and make them warmer. A aold bath makes the skin glow with warmth, So a cold bath of ice water, i18 its, reaction, warms the throat and stomach. • arger Wounds the edges 1,111,31 bo I110011a113 cally brought together, Some do thIs by 3)1001133 14 stieking.plaster, but more satin. factory results are got by putting in a few Stitches.

Cube, and its Resoureee; The beautiful island of Cuba, lying off our Florida coast and resting under the stern dominion of Spain, has been an object of deep interest to the United States for many years, One reason of this lies in the fact of its proximity to our continent, and its dis- tance from the power which rules it. Another is to be found in the extraordinary riehness and variety of the natural resources of the island. For Cuba has been well named " the garden of the West Indies." Its soil and climate are capable of yielding an almost unlimited range of agricultural products. Not only does it grow the best tobacco in the world; a yet mare valuable product 18 the Cuban sugar. Coffee, corn, rice and cotton ean be profitably noised from it. The foreats of Cuba are rich in mahogany, rose- wood, ebony and cedar. The fruits which are grown on the Wand are as various and luscious as those yielded by the fertile plains of Southern California. They include oranges and lemons, pineapples and bananas, figs and bread -fruit, pomegran- ates, cocoanuts, mangoes and guava, and others less familiar 10 118. Within the past ten years, tnoreover, an important iron -mining industry has been developed near Santiago, as a result of which it is stated that iron ore to the value of a million and a half of dollars 03111 3)0 exported therm to the United States in 1891. In return, the Cubans will receive American c°alt.i 13t this island, so bountifully gifted by nature, has never yielded to the world the amount of products which it is capable of giving. It is the least developed country in our hemisphere. Brazil alone excepted. It haa now fifteen hundrell sugar plantations, 3)131 10 capable of providing ten times that number, and the same may be said of the possible increase of tobacco, coffee and cotton plantations. While the working -people, white, negro and Chinese, are generally peaceable and fairly industrious, it remains true that Cubs is noteultivated to anything like the extent that is possible. The selfishnese of Spanish domination, and the consequent bad economic condition of the island, are the main causes why Cuba remains to so large a degree undeveloped. The sugar•planters are stated to be poor, unable to make their product valuable, and equally unable to prooure skilled labor. Chiba is politically subject to Sapia • but its geographical and commercial intereAs lie with the United States. Cuba needs the machinery and supplies which the Hutted States could give it ; but the economic rela- tions between the inland and the continent lnier hithcrto prevented Cuba f rein receiv- 0311., These relations are to some degree shown by the value of the exchanges of products which 1181(0 3)3800 between the two countries. The reports show that, in 1889, while we received f rom Cuba articles to the value of fifty-two millions of dollars, NVe only sent to Cuba articles to the value of about eleven and a half millions. On tire other hand, in 1888, Great Britain received from tInba and Porto Rico goods only valued 0.1 a million anl a half dollars, while of her manufactures and other goods she sent to them articles reaching a Valtie of about twelve millions. Negotiatious have lately taken place be- tween the United States and Spain, which have resulted in a reciprocity treaty which is expected to result in a much freer inter- change of products than has been made heretofore. That is, Cuba will probably buy more American goods which will be admitted to the island at' lower rates of adbuAlty; =minty result of the treaty will prob- ybe to introduce American capital and enterprise into bite island. The ultimate destination of Cuba is pr- imps to be a politiord as well as commercial ninon with our republic. Meanwhile, coin- rocity of trade will doubtless be of large mutual benefit. Variety in Food. Many people fall into the mistake of sup- posing that, because they take a certain number of once's daily, and keep their 8100)00108 10 eonstant employment, they have satisfied the needs of the body. A doctor was recently called in to attend upon a seamstress who was suffering from weakness and general depression. "What kind of food have you been living upon 7" asked he of his patient,. "03) I my food has been all right," she replied. "I have lived mostly on bread and butter for a long thole, and I am sure there is no harm in that." " My dear woman," exclaimed the doctor, "you have explained the secret of your illneas, Your body has been starving on that diet, and I am surprised you are no worse." The functions which the body Ims to perform are why and various, and the supply of food must be complex to meeti its requirements. The internal organs are constantly at work, and therefore wasting ; the body must be kept warm to a large extent by food. Then there is the wear and tear of the sys- tem which an ordinary day's work involves. Whether one's life be one of comparative ease, or filled With arduouS toil, this variety of diet must be maintained, and flesh form- iug, heat giving, and starchy matter must be taken in proper proportions. With this fact before us, 11 10 a duly incumbent upon all to understand the nature and composition of food, and its fitness for the nourishment of the human frame. Under natural condi. Om, the appetite is a fair guide in the selection of materials, but our 011011100335 03 cooking and seasoning are so contrary to reason that its power in that direction isnot 03 1110031 use. Food should also be regulated in quantity by the amount of physical labor to be performed. An artisan or farm labor- er, who spends Saturday afternoon and Sun- day in resting after a, week of °smiting toll, does not ('03111100 13(1118 so much food during his leisure. Yet, in the majority of instances, he ents more, and, as 31. consequence, is in worso trim on returning to his work than he wart when he left it. When the food supply is kept up, and mechanical labor diminish. ed, the system is burdened with a surplus of matter which the tissues cannot dispose of. Tho strain then falls to the internal organs, and, when this happens, indigestion, 3101801- 380110, 0.11(1 several other disorders 1110110 111011)' selves known. Over -feeding and disregard for the true requirements of the human frame in its diverse oxperioneel have been the cause of much physical discomfort. 'We cannot reasonably hope to be healthy our. selves, orthat our ohildren will dovelopo and become strong, unless our food is adapted to our physical needs. The First Armored Ship. The first moonlit we have of an armored ship is in 1530. It was one of the lied of the Knights of St. John, entirely sheathed with load, and is said to have successfully resisted all the shot of that day. At the siege of Gibraltar in 1782 the French and Spaniards employed light iron bomb -proof. ing over thew deoks. The first practical use of wrought iron plates as a defense for the sides of vessels was by the Fretiell in the Crimean wax 111 1853, to be used against the Russian forts in the Baltic.

A person who has bathed encumbered thus will get an idea how much aid he could render to a, drowning person. It is a mistake to over.bathe ; and in this particular there is a curious dift'erence be. tween one person and another. Of two brothers, both in apparently emial health, one can bathe every day with advantage, while the other will discover that it is best for him to keep out of the stater except on hot days, and then not to stay in more than fifteen minutes. In this, as in all other athletic exercises, zeal should be tempered with prudence.

M. Bidet, the noted lion -tamer, relates in his memoirs a terrible adventure. He was sitting at the entrance of the menagerie with Madame Bidet, and the entertainment was about to begin, when he heard a piercing ery. This was followed by furious roaring, and CrieS of "Help 1 help !" by many voices. He rushed in. All eyes Were turned toward one of the cages. It NVari appalling. Venturelli, a, poor fellow in my employ, hail been lifted from the ground, and was suspended outside the cage, in the claws of four lions, one of whom wag eating his arm One glimpse of that horrible sight, and I ran, reflecting in a second that to go around the cages and get in by the ordinary en- trance would involve a fatal delay, and de- ciding on the desperate expedient of raising thegrating on theside toward the spectators, and 00 031331111319 into the cage. Row I did it, how it happened that I was not caught and mangled, I do not know. But suddenly I was on my feet, in the midst of that savage feast, with neither stick nor whip, and only my fists for weapons. I struck and I commanded. The liana fell back and let fall their prey. I hurried out of the cage, end was greeted with enthusiaetic applause. I thought poor Venturelli was dead. But he was taken to the hospital, his wcamds W010 dressed, and he recovered. Then I asked hiin how it happened. He said, " When 'passed those gentlemen," he always spoke courteously of the lions, " I wished to caress them. Three were asleep, and one was awake ; that ono misunder- stood my attention. Ile waked his com- radea, seized me, and but for you I should certainly have made a meal for them," The heroic lion -tamer goes on to relate that the king, being informed of his ma, decoented him publicly, and the people feted him and loaded him with honors. On this occasion, he says, thought he was not used to being afraid, he was so agitated that his limbs shook ; he was faint and could hardly see. He soon recovered himself, however, and his pleasurein this nubile recognition of his bravery was marred only by a regret that his father could not be there to enjoy it. the tr.e Nviii011 presses against it he intends to minima the sweeps Scoresby and the li:ofdewey expedition on the north witlithe disooveries of Capt.

These two expeditions, with the auxiliary exploring party which is accompanying Peary for the purpose of making scientific collections on the west COast and ascertain- ing the coast outline of Melville Bay, are the only enterprises of importance which, are likely to attract attention in Greenland during the next two or three years. The success of all these expeditions is proble- matical. The Peary auxiliary party will, without doubt, succeed in making valuable observations and gathering important col- lections, but it is very doubtful that they will be able to get within sight of the coast of Melville Bay, If Ryder and Peary suc- ceed in their ambitions wewill know at last practically all there is to ascertain about the &rest line of Greenland, except along Melville Bay, and the stretch between Cape Bismarck on the east coast and the eastern limit of Peary's travels. Whatever occurs, we shall be likely to have a good deal of in- teresting news from the Arctic regions with- in the next twenty months.

How the Hound was Soared. An aged Lehigh Valley woodsman, Amos Metz, say that during the winter of 1840-41 he lived alone, save for lois hound, in asmall cabin on what is now the Drinker Turnpike, Penn., between Moseow and Tobyhanna Mills. Atnos often boasted that Zeke, the hound, was the best hunter in the county. One night, ar, hour or two after I'd gone to bed, I was waked by Zeke's yelping. He was putting in at a good rate, and I jumped up 10 000 what was the trouble. It was bright moonlight, and I SOOn made out that two wolves wore chasing the hound. Zeke was running round andround the cabin, and the wolves were after him as fast aa they could leg it ; but the hound was swifter on foot and managed to keep a few feet ahead of them. I had two loaded muskets in the house. I placred one of them in the oorner near by cocked the other, and opened the door a few inches to get a shot at the wolves as they mune 310311101 111 front of the house. The frightened hound saw the crack where I stood, dashed into it, threw the door ovide open, and knocked me offmy feet. Both wolves rushed in after him, mut Zeke leaped irpon the bed, which stood at one side. The wolves stopped when they cattle to the bed, and I shut the door in a hurry, and then banged away at One oE the critters, hitting it In the head and kill- ing it instantly. The second wolf Nvas scared, and ran around the room and then made a spring for the window. It knocked out three or four panes of glass, but didn't break the sash. 1110 brute tumbled backward, but was on its feet in a second and. made another spring. By this time I was ready with my other musket, and I bored a hole through the animal's heart just as it struck the window. That settled the wolves. But Zeke, al- though he wasn't hurt a mite, was so scared that he hasn't been worth a copper to hunt Once that night. Grisi's Ohildren.
