The Habit of Drinking Water.
and Gearing made,
best of iron used.
[Atlanta Constitution.
If yob will make inquiries among
your acquaintances, as I have
done, you will find, that no two of
th§m agrafe in regard, to drinldhg
water. Some drink a .great .deal,
others drink not so intreb, and still
others drink none at all. Some
drink because they have become
used to it, while very few drink
because they are thirsty.
A friend of mine, drinks, a great
deal of water during the period of
moonlight nights,- but during the
period of dark nights he drinks
none at all. This habit, if it can
be called such, is involuntary, and
it was unconscious until my friend
made the discovery that the change
of the moon had something to do
with his thirst Another friend
inform^ tu'e that during the past
two months he has touched no wa
ter at all, except such as may be
found in his coffee or his butter
milk. Yet be is hot opposed to
water. He has simply had no de
sire for it during the past two
months.
Still another friend drinks wa
ter copiously, especially at mC ; al
times. At dinner, for example; he
has a two-gallon pitcher at his el
bow, aB.d during the meal he
drinks as many as ten or twelve
goblets full of this harmless fluid.
This is opposed, of course, to the
theories of the doctors, as almost
every other sensible thing is, but
my friend who drinks his two gal
lons of water with his dinner is
not only fat, but robust. He does
not know what it is to be seriously
ill, and he enjoys life more thor
oughly than any man I know. I
have been at a loss hitherto to ac
count for his overwhelming vitali
ty—his extraordinary supply of
animal spirits. But it is np longer
a mystery. It is the Ivater.
Without exception, I think, it
will be found that those who drink
little or np water are of slender
girth, and somewhat cynical in
their views—veritable pessimists
indeed—or at leat inclined that
way. The real fountain of wit is
not the flowing bowl, but the water
pitcher, and it is a source of inspi
ration thht neither whitens the
hair, like chanpaghe; nor does vio
lence to the understanding, like
the domestic wine that is for sale
in Atlanta.
In my boyish days I Was acquaint
ed with an old gentleman who
boasted that he. had drank no wa
ter in forty years. This gentleman
was well known in Georgia at one
time, tad is probably remembered
by many of the older readers of
the Constitution I allude to the
late S. N. Boughton, who was one
of the proprietors of the’Milledge-
ville E ederal Union, at a time
when both the Union and the
Southern Recorder, edited by R.
M. Ofme, were the. leading papers
in the state; Mr. Boughton was a
very pleasant gentleman, but his
whole appearance showed that the
anti-water theory is opposed to na
ture. His health was not good,
and his skin .had .the appearance
of parchment, so that he formed a
ghastly contrast to his jolly co
partner, Nr. Barnes—who, by the
way, was the father of Billy Barns,
the versatile genius who used to
make Atlanta lively.
Taking everything into consid
eration, I would Advise the public
to' drink plenty of water. The
present generation; in my opinion,
is short on water. The doctors
may frown at this advice, but;
speaking generally,, a doctors
frown is less dangerous than his
medicine, and water is better than
both.. Water taken fresh from the
well before breakfast is a great
stimilant and tojnc; and notkiiig
aids digestion better than a Copious
supply of the same fluid:

Interviews With Congressmen.
. - Savannah News.
The’ WaBhington Star is printing
interviews with Congressmen as
they make their appearance at the
Capital, with respect to the feel
ing of their constituents toward
the administration, and the reduc
tion of the Democratic majority in
the House. The most noticeable
feature of these interviews is that
the Congressmen who have not
succeeded in getting what appoint
ments they want from the admin
istration almost invariably say that
they noticed, during the late cam
paign, signs of coolness among
Democrats toward, the President,
while.those who have had their
requests respecting appointments
complied with, found, while trav
elling through their respective
States, nothing but good, will;and
the heartiest Enthusiasm for the
President.
The conclusion to be]drawn from
these interviews is that the opin
ion of the average Congressman
respecting public sentiment rela
tive to political matters is not
worth much. If he happens to be
pleased with the administration he
is apt to think that his constit
uents are also, and if he is not
plessed with it he is pretty certain
that, his constituent^ are ‘not. ,He
can’t understand that it is possible
for them to entertain views, on i;so
important a matter, different from
his own.
In these riiterriews in the Star
some of the ablest of the Southern
Congressmen say that the Novem
ber elections were favorable to the
Democrats rather thaii to the Re
publicans. The Democrats retain
ed control of the House, which is
a rather liniisiial thing for the par
ty in control to do at the election
following the inauguration of its
administration, and they increased
their strength in the Senate.
The Southern Congressmen who
look upon the results of the No
vember election as d Democratic
victory are much nearer the truth
than those who regard them in the
light of a defeat. The Republican
journals have been trying to prove
that the Democrats werfe signally
defeated, but the more the situa
tion is studied, the more it be
comes evident that the Democrats
have more reason to rejoice than
to complain. The Congressman
■vvho has a grievance, and who
thinks he utters the prevailing sen
timent of his district when he ut
ters only his own sentiments, will
find out after a while .that the peo
ple Hate no need for his services.
Metal-covered leaves, set in
brooches and made into scarf-pins,
from the trees and bushes at Lake
Sfcarnberg, where the mad. King
Ludwig drowned himself, are now
sold in the stores at Munich. An
enterprising manufacturer has ob
tained from the government per
mission to gather the- leaves* and
enjoys a monopoly of. the mamri
facture.
The waterproofing of paper is
now most effectually accomplished
by a mixture of 50 per cent of ros
in, 45 per cent of paraffine, and 5
of silicate of soda,.< these ingredi
ents being thoroughly mingled by
heating together and by agitation.
This composition is found to be
peculiarly applicable for building
at sheathing paper.
Tlie Fuel of the Future.
Demorest’s Magazine for December,
It is a fact well known in manu
facturing circles that the vast balk
of heat in coal is wasted. Only
fourteen out of the hundred parts
of carbon is actually utilized.
Hence, one of the problems of
chemistry has been to get more
power, in the way of heat and
light, out of a given v quantity of
coaL Prof. T. S. 0. Lowe claims
to have solved this problem j a
matter which is of vast importance
if it is a fact. The process is to
pulverize the coal] and in convert
ing it into gas, the coal is reduced
to a powdered form so fine that it
will float in the atmosphere, and it
is carried into the burning furnace
by a current of air artificially pro
duced. In tbe powdered form ev
erything is consumed, as it makes
no smoke and leaves no ashes.
This would utilize the mountains
of so-called wastej. now piled up
near coal mines and manufactories.
But Prof. Lowe’s invention goes
farther. The coal is converted
into a water gas. A ton of anthra
cite coal will generate from eighty
to a hundred cubic feet of gas.
The cost will be about nine cents
a cubic foot. This invention is al
ready in use in the city of Troy, in
the laundries of that place, and is
also used for power and ~ for heat
ing and booking in hotels and res
taurant?. The gas fnrnishsd is
non-luminous, and resembles that
from alcohol. It has no odor and
is intensely hot. These facts
have come out in a report to the
Scranton Board of Trade, which
calls the new invention anthracite
gas. The result will be a marvel
ous economy in the heating of
houses and cooking; of food, while
one tori of coal will go as far as a
hundred of tons nowadays.
<3ol. Ravenshill, who recently
arrived at Fort McLeod, Oregon,
from England, oil a tour of in
spection and to purchase horses
for the English army, found very
few among the numerous bands of
horses in that section that fulfilled
his requirements. He stated that
the English government wovild
purchase about 4,000 head of
horses yearly if suitable stock
could be raised, and would pay
$150 a head for them, halter broke,
delivered at Montreal. The horses
are required .to be of good color,,
black or preferred, 4 to 6
years old, and fifteen to sixteen
bands high. The visit of 1 Col.
Ravenshill caused quite a stir
throughout the northwest, and a
number of stock men ai’0 . making
arrangements for breeding horses
to fill the requirements. A good
horse, fifteen to- sixteen hands
high, will bring $150 in any part
of Oregon.

Cookery and Food Exhibition.
Demorest’s Monthly for December.
Apropos of tbe subject .of food,
it may be well to call attention to j
the international food exhibition j
that takes in London next Decem
ber. One of its departments will
be the literature of the kitchen.
It will contain the cookery books
of all nations, from the earliest to
the most modern, illustrations of
game, artistic menu cards, bills ; of
fare from the leading hotels of the
world, and portraits of all the
great gastronomic writers of the
age. There*will also be a depart
ment of “dining room ’accessories”
and “utensils used in tire prepara
tion of all food.” The exhibition
will be held in the royal aquarium,
Westminster, and will continue
from December 7th to 19tB, both
dates inclusive. It promises to be
one of the most interesting and
unique pf the many exhibitions
held in London the last few years.
Why should therejnot be, in con
nection with this exhibition, a com
mission appointed to test all foods
and their preparations ?r]No cook
ery book,, gotten np by an individ
ual, can give, receipts], all of which
would be of. the very best. That
is a matter for literally hundreds
of thousands of experiments. The
comission should examine the fa
mous cooks, and should have the
wholesomeriess of every dish thor
oughly canvassed. Its labors
would throw a world of light on
the kindjof diets best fitted for in
valids. It is curious that the hu
man race should have been so long
on this planet, and should have
made no organized effort to discov-
the most wholesome foods, or how
they could best be prepared.
There was loud applause at
Knickerbocker Hall, Clymer street,
Brooklyn, Sunday afternoon, when
Mr. H. Smith told the prohibition
audience that the prohibition vote
in the late election was more than
twice as large as it had ever been
before. Col. Sherman, a brother
of Governor Sherman, of Iowa,
who strongly resembles Benjamin
F. Butler,spoke vehemently against
rnm selling. He said the prohi
bition party wanted men six feet
nigh, who had plenty of muscle
and brains, not iiieh of three feet,
with no back-bone, hollow, emacia
ted, narrow-chested fellows. When
St. John ran for president, Col.'
Sherman was out in tbp wilds of
Montana, but lie said he didn’t
lose his vote, for'he wrote the
n f.m f his candidates on a piece
of paper and deposited it in a hol
low tree.
The New York Herald thinks
that with thirteen millions buried
under tile sod of a single farm,
Georgia is likely to ' become the
most populous statein the Union.
It would be better were the sum
divided and hid under all the farms
in the state. Their.the deep and
thorough digging would place our
agricultural and horticultural in
terests on so firm a basis tbat Geor
gia would soon be the richest state
in the Union, whether our people
ever found any of the hidden gold
