Curatiee rowere of Water.
There is probably noieingle article in the
world which posseeses -such curative powers
as water. Ifiit cost a dollar a pint, and had
to be brought a thousand miles, physicians
would no doubt prescribe it, and people
would be anxious to purchase it. But it is,
perhaps, too cheap and convenient to come
into general use. About three-quarters of
every human body is warm water, •and the
presentee or absence of this fluid in due pro.
portion has more to do with health than
almeat any other condition ef our existence.
A man oan live upon water three or four
times as long as he can upon dry food ; in
fact, nothing is lit for food unities it contains
a large percentege of water. And for a
large proportion or the diaeasea from which
men suffer, water is the most prompt and
efficient remedy. In cases of croup, colic,
neuralgia, congestion, sore throat or rheu-
matism, there is probably nothing 'which
will ao promptly relieve distress and dan-
gerous eymptoms au pure hot water. In
fevers nature cries out for water with un-
utterable desire ; and it is often the only
remedy which can satisfy and relieve the
auffeter.

has proceeded, but of late the endeavors
were not so vigorously plied. The diggers
have now reaolied the actual spot where the
men were engaged at the time of the acci-
dent, and on penetrating into a gallery cut

body ef a young man lying on the ground.
Photographs taken of the position show that
a dreadful state of affairs muat have come

that some of the men tried to prolong their

" Sawing By.''
There are many problems connected with
the running of a single track railroad. One
ef these is how to get two treble past one
another when each is longer than the aide
track. The means by which thie is accom-
plished is known as "sawing by." There
was a time when this plan was not so famil-
iar as it is now, and the following clipping
from the "Chicago News" howe how a
young brakeman turned hip ingenuity to
good account,
A number of years ago a etubby yourg
man with a big mouth and eolicidoeking
head was taken on the Galeeburg division
of the Chicago, Burlington, and Quinty
Railroad as a freight brakeman. He seemed
to pay no attention to the eports indulged
in by hie fellow -brakemen when off duty,
but spent most of his time around the shops
learning how to run E ngines and picking up
information about the machinery of rail-
roading One day a tall, olerioallooking
man was riding in the caboose of the train
on which the young man was employed.
The tall man seemed to take a kindly inter-
est in the young brakeman. who answered
his questiene courteouely, but did net per-
mit the paseenger to interfire in the least
with his duty. Finally the train came to a
stand -still, and it was found that it had
met another freight train at a station where
the side track was not long enough to hold
either train. The problem preaeated was:
How were the ti eine to et by each other
In this day that would be eolved very easily
hot it no happened that at that time, when
railroading was a very different matter,
neither conductor had encountered such a
condithan of affeirs, and both tempered that
one of the trains would have to baok up to
a station with a longer side track. As the
conductore were discussing this the tall pas-
senger and the young brakeman came up to
them.
When the young man underetood the sit-
tzatioa he said to hie conductor, reepect-
fully-
Yon can got by."
"How, I'd like to know ?" said the con-
ductor.
The young brakeman picked np a stick and
marked out in tne rand what is now known
to every.rallrosd man as "sawing by." The
trains were sawed and went their way. The
next day the young man wait called to the
division superintendent's office, where he
met the tall passenger—Saperintendent H.
EC, Hitchcock—and was taken into his more
immediate employ, where he learned tele-
graph,' and became a train deepatcher, In
a short time the cf6 re of master of tranepr.
tetion was created, and the yourof man was
given that piece. Float that day he haa
grown rapidly, and now the man who rides
over the Champ and Alton Railroad on the
general manager's pass reads that young
brakeman's name at the foot of it—C. H

Breakfast Bills of Fare.
BREAKFAST NO 3.
Codfish in main. Pop -overs.
Dry Toast.
Coffee.
CURDLED EGGS —Pour boiling water on to
fresh eggs and remove the dish containing
them to the baok part of the stove where the
water will keep warm and let them remain
ten or twelve minutes. The white of the
egga will then be cooked uniformly with the
yelk, and the whole will be euperier in
flavor and digestibility to an egg which has
been boiled.
CODFISH IN Cairene —Pick up into small
plecea, fieh that has been soaked in oold
water ever night. Heat milk or cream boil-
ing het and add the fish with a spoonful of
flour that has been mixed smooth with a lit-
tle cold milk. As soon ae it boils up, break
a fresh egg into it and stir just long enough
to cook the egg and then remove it at once
from the fire,
POP-OVERS.—One cup of flour, one cup of
milk, one egg, a piece of butter the size of
an egg, and melted, and ia pinch of salt.
Bake in gem pans. Make tl,e mixture per.
finny smooth and free from lumpa, by add-
ing the milk very slowly to the flcur, and
Barring constantly. Beat the eggs and add
last. Have the pane hot and buttered, and
611 them half full of the mixture, then eet
directly into a quick oven, Fifteen minutes
will bake them, and they will justify the
name by rising far above the limits of the
pan. The secret of having pop -overs juEt
right is to have everything all ready betore
you begin, and then make quick work of
the mixing and baking. These are also some-
times milled egg muffle&
BREAKFAST NO. 4.
Dropped Begs.
Frizzled Beet Baked Potatoes.
Cold'Graham Bread,
Coffee.
DROPPED EGGS.—Have a frying pan filled
with boiling water slightly salted. Lay in
muffle rings and into eenh turn an egg which
had previously been broken into a cap. As
soon as the white is set they are done,
Cooked in this manner they are not broken
in piecee as when dropped into the water
without the ringe.
Frizzled Beef,—Have the dried or imoked
beef shaved very thin, place in a stewpan
wine enough water to cover it, and when it
boils add a spoonful of flour made smooth
in a little cold water. As soon as it thick-
ens add a generous piece of butter, a little
pepper, and turn into a hot dish.
GRAHAM BREAD —Make a batter at night
of one pint of milk or water, one pint of
flour, and oue-half cup of yeast, In the
morning add ore pint of Graham, one-half
cup of eugar, one teaspoonful of salt, beat -
Ing it in thoroughly. Turn it into two pans,

An Electrical Submarine Vessel.
Some satisfactory trials have recently
been made at Liverpool with a new electri-
cal submarine yeesel, the invention of Mr.
J. F. Waddington of Birkenhead. The
vessel, whieh ie cigar -shaped, is 37 feet long
and 6 feet in diameter at the centre, tapering
off to the code which are pointed. A con-
ning tower ler mounted on the top of the
beet, and her depth of immersion below the
water suaface is regulated by external in-
clined planes placed one en either side and
controlled from within, She is fitted with
a rudder placed aft, and has a self-acting
arrangement for preeerving hot horizontal
position.

When he sights the deer, which he does

teals upon it with eutsh a skill and stealth

presence. If the deer's head is turned
away from him he ritualise his foot on
the ground or breaks a twig. At the
sound the deer, if he is lying down,

"An Apache hunter scorns to fire twice
at the same deer, but it is also his code
that no deer muat be permitted to eecape
after it had been shot at and missed. If
the hunter fails to check his game at the

returns with its carom to his wigwam.
As the deer starts away in its fright at
sight of the hunter or the reamed of his
gun, leaping thirty or forty feet at every
bound, the Indian throws his gun on the
ground, and
WITH PIERCING YELLS
starts in pursuit. The deer at first) leaves
the hunter far behind, putting forth its
greateet efforts to get far beyond his reach.
But no matter how fast the deer may reel
off the miles between it and its pursuer
the trail it leaves is as plain to the hunter
as 11 11 were marked in chalk all the way.
A deer is the most timid and autpicious
of animals, and at the OEM time p resessea
an amazing amount of curiosity. After it
has placed distance between itself and
the immediate danger from which it fled
it stops and awaits further developments.
The Apache hunter well knows this cha-
racteristic of the deer, and he jogs along
at a five -mile -an -hour gait, never lagging,
never stopping. At a eight or sound of
the approaching hunter the deer bounds
off again to run a mile or two, and atop

THE FIRST FATAL STEPS,
They are not long motive to give the deer
any beneficial rest, but, on the contrary,
give time for its legs to stiffen. At each
new start the leaps grow shorter, and the
deer starts away reluctently and with de-
creasing activity. The Indian jogs along
on the trail, maintaining a uniform rate
of speed. He can keep up without) atop -
ping for six houra if necessary. After two
or three hours' running the deer begina to
look for water to quench its thirst. When
this stage of the chez° is reached, the
hunter knows that the deer's doom is
sealed. After the cleer once drinks there

mach with water, and, laden with the

miles, after drinking they are made every
