How to Moil Water.
I must tell you the old story of how the
late Charlee Delmonioo ueed to talk about
the new hot 'retire' cure. He said the Del-
mbnioos were the first to recommend it to
game who oomplamed of haviog no appe-
tite. " Take a cup of hot water and lemon
• and you will feel better" was the formula
adopted, and the cup of hot water and
lemon was simply a little hot water with a
dropni lemon juice in it to take away the
insipidity: For this antibiliouereinedy the
caterers ()barged the price of their best
liquors -25 cents or more—and it certainly
was a wiser way to spend small change than
in alcohol. • "Few people know how to cook
water," Clharlee used to affirm. " The secret
is in putting good, fresh water into it neat
kettle, alreadY quite•warro, and setting the
water it. boiling quickly, and then taking ib
right off foe use in tea, coffee or other
drinks, before it is spoiled. To let it 'steam
and simmer and evaporate until the good
water is in the atmosphere, and the lime
and iron and dregs Only left in the kettle—
bah 1 that is what makes it great many
peole sick and is worse than no, water at
all."• Every lady who tea& this reoipe of
the great .and careful opok should never for-
get how to, cook water.—New Yorld Times. '

Stealing a Rlde in England.
A man wiabing to travel free from, Wol-
verhampton, England, to Liverpool, pro.
cured two stout pieces of' rope, which be
fastened tinthe axles of a railway cart lige,
leaving a noose at the end of each. Into
orre'noose he put his lege while be inserted
his shoulders mac the other. In tbia poet -
tion he hung when the train etartect. The
train was au express and aid not stop until
Crewe was reached, which is about 70 miles
from Liverpool. He was rather uncom-
fortable when the train began .to move, but
when it got into full swing he had real
torture, and when be reached Crewe hawse
nearly dead with fright. Here he was taken
into bustody. To the magistrate who adju-
dicated on the cue be explained that ma
• •
eensatione when Belaying to and fro,.were
something awful, and the effect of . the
sleepers as they rushed paeit him nearly
robbed him of reason, and be "was afraid
that every moment the rope would slip
from his shoulders and hang bith." The
magistrate decided that be had had enough
punishment, and, remarking that he was
not likely to repeat the experiment, sent
him about his business. Thai must be a
good deal worth than riding on a truck„
