* Fat People nail Fluid*,
t *Th« question whether water is fat*
Idling or otherwise has been much
•discussed. Formerly it was generally
asserted tliat the victims of obesity
•should mortify the flesh and reduce
the fat by abstaining as much as possi
ble from liquids and remaining in a
continual state of thirst. Latterly the
opposite has been affirmed, and I am
told that a reduction of weight is one
of the results claimed by "the hot
water cure,” provided always the water
fs taken as hot as possible, painfully
hot, and in great quantities, Experi
ments have been made in Paris by Dr.
Debove which controvert both these
doctrines, These experiments indicate
that, provided Ilia same amount of
solid food is taken, targe quantities of
water make a man neither thinner nor.
fatter. They were carefully made on
a friend who took weighed quantities
of food daily, and while these remained
equal doubling tlie quantity of water
had no measurable effect on the weight
of the body. Still, it is quite possible
that the old theory of thirst cure and
the new theory of hot water cure may
both be correct. Doth violate the
natural conditions of health. Scalding
hot water, like tea or coffee, or grog of
similar temperature, unquestionably
injures the teeth, stomach, and other
organs concerned in the early stages
of digestion, and it is very probable
that deficiency of liquid impedes the
latter stages, whereby the chyme, by
the aid of the digesting fluids, becomes
converted into chyle and blood. A fat
man may easily become thinner by
Injuring his health. '‘Banting" is
dangerous, as' many who have fairly
tried ean prove. The difficult problem
is to reduce the fat without reducing
the strength at the same time. A skill
ful trainer will undertake to bring any
man down to his ** lighting weight," i.
to the best condition for violont ex
ertion, but'as soon ns tho discipline of
the trainer is relaxed the obesity, when
constitutional, returns, and n long con
tinuance of high training is murderous.
Perhaps the old prescription, "Keep
your mohtb shut and your eyes open,"
when followed with Judicious limita
tions, is tho best, Eat less, sleep less,
end walk more are safe injunctions,
provided they aro obeyed in moderation.

What Hundred-Eyed Animals Sec.
If the lobster’s eye consists of more
than a hundred separate eyelets, each
with its own ions, what sort of a pic
ture of the outward world does the
animal see? Does lie see a hundred
different Images in the snmo object?
As he crawls along tho rocky sea-
bottom in congenial haunts, where the
wily fisherman tempt his epiourean
appetite with his favorite food, docs ho
aee a hundred lobster pots where there
Is only one? Does tho single whelk
bait within look like a hundred tempt
ing morsels? The same question
would apply to tho lobster’s enemies,
great fishes with fiat, pavoment-liko
teeth, which easily crush through the
armor plates which form his shell.
Supposing the lobster to multiply such
enemies visually by the hundred, his
life could scarcely bo said to bo a happy
one. The question thus raised is nn
interesting one, especially as it applies
not only to lobsters, but also to all
kinds of insects. For instance, does
the house-fly, with its 4,000 eyelets, see
4.000 house-maids dusting the window-
pane when there is really only one?
Does the cabbage butterfly, with Its
17.000 eyelets, see every cabbage multi
plied 000 times? And does the
dragon-fly in same way see 80,000
tufqnohWHmlorod companions hawking
about by the pond aide when thero is
only one. The problem has been fought
over by the xoologists with much vigor
until quite recently. The advoentes
of the multiple vision theory, astonish
ing as that theory may seem, have not
been wanting; but eventually the
advocates of the single vision theory
are now in possession of tho well-fought
field. 'Whatever bo the nuraborof eye
lets, or the number of pictures received
on the cornea, it is the retina which
receives the ultimate improsslon from
external objects. The delicate, subtle
and mysterious nerve ends which wo
pall the retiua are the ulitimnte sensory
apparatus Which determines what
lhall be seen. Tbs conclusion arrived
at Is briefly this: Apart from the lenses
and cones in front, the lobster’s or
insect's eye is a hollow sphere pierced
by numerous close-set perforations,
running down the facets toward the
centre of the sphere. Only those rays
pan reach the retina which run iu the
axis of the perforation. Other rays
than the axial rays are required to
produoear mplete picture at the retina
end of each perforation. It follows
that the light impressions cause by the
axial rays, whose number corresponds
with the separate nerve rods, form a
single picture or “ mosaic" of points
Of sight on the retina.

In Zacatecas the prisoners are worked

fifty lmvc passed my windows and all
were loaded with wood. At other times
wc see them loaded witli bags of earth
and rubbish from the street, lime and
sand for the builder ami heavy stones
used in paving the streets and side
walks. Many of them are barefooted
and clothed in rags, while others have
a piece of a blanket around the loins,
which form their entire suit. They are
driven to and fro by a mounted guard
consisting of about one-third of their
own number; thus to them life is almost
worse than death itself. When lumber
or long timber is to be moved the two*
pieces are fastened to the pack-saddlo
on either side of a mule or burro, while
the other ends drag on the ground; thus
they are trailed along to the required
place. This is the secret of transferring
everything for wiiich a long geared
wagon is necessary. And it is even
said they pride themselves on their
native ingenuity, for by this method
there is no time lost in gearing and
ungearing. All the butchers’supplies
are carried more than a mile into this
city. Wo have seen one man carry five
dressed sheep or two quarters of beef
this distance at one load, for which he
received six cents per load. And consid
ering that bis employer is not required
to buy huy or corn for him and that
he pays for his own breakfast, he thus
’becomes a cheaper ereuturo or beast of
burden than the mulo or donkey; hence
we seldom see them used in the work.
Others are carrying large bogskin
baskets filled with hides, horns and tal
low, whilo others are peddling or deliv
ering sheep, goat or hog skins full of
lard. This receptacle is mado by taking
the hide from tho animal in its natural
form, thon the feet are tied up and all
cuts securely sowed, after which it is
filled from the neck and tied also. Then
when a supply is wanted they have only
to untie a foot or tup the body in some
convenient place and tho quantity is
forthcoming. Thore are no wells or
wntor works here, lienee all water for
uso is conveyod by water carriers and
sold about the streets of the city. Tho
scenes at tho fountains in the early
morning is suggoatlvd’bf ancient times
to the student of history. Women by
the hundreds are filling and bearing
away on their shoulders ollns(jara)of
wator. These, too, are very similar in
form to that used by Rebecca at the
well. Men are thore with their poles
and wator cans. In short tho scene is
composed of men, donkoys and dogs,
women, children, pet pigs, lambs and
goats, Tho air is filled with music for
all creaturoa of a kind arp exchanging
their morning greetings while waitlijg
their turn. Thus all seem to enjoy life
whilo reproducing tiio scenes of old as
wo have seen them pictured. And here
and then mnny dark eyed Rebeccas
are often won by the meetings at tho
well,
Tho Commercial Drummer.
The "commercial traveler" vulgarly
known ns tho "drummer,"now repre
sents a very important class in this
country. They furnish a vast deal of
business to tho railroads and an im
mense patronago to the hotels of tho
country. The number of New York
drummers is very largo—thore are said
to be fully 80.U0Q of them. Of course
there aro not so many us that on the
road at one timo. for certain goods are
sold at particular seasons and the ser
vices of some of tho traveling salosmou
aro only required for a few months in a
year. The drummer is generally a
pushing, well-informed, plausible per
son, lie must he a good talker and
understand the wares ho is disposing of
as well as tho peculiarities and credit
of the merchant he calls upon. So vast
and so well equipped is this army of
commercial travelers that thore Is no
longer any necessity for country store
keepers to visit New York or other
jobbiug contras. He is visited at his
placo of business, wherever situated,
by swarms of drummers, who keep him
thoroughly posted us to styles and prices.
A good commercial traveler 1b well paid
and always puts up at the best hotels
and travels iu tho saloon and sleeping
cars. They, of courso, are a heavy tax
on the houses that employ them, but
with tho present machinery of trade
. they are indispensable to the merchants
and jobbers who have goods to sell to
retailers outside the large cities. The
trade papers and the telephonio price
current, with tho drummers’ visit, ren
ders it unnecessary for the country
dealer to visit the great jobbing centre
except for pleasure. N or does he want
so much stock on hand, nB he can order
his goods at short notice by telegraph
as per sample shown to him by tho
"drummers."

In the year 1(104, on the 3th of Decem

boat containing about sixty persons,
and every soul perished with the ex
ception of one, whose name was Hugh
Williams, On the 5th of August, 1820,

but the passengers of this were no
more ihnn twenty-five, and, aiugular
to relate, the whole perished, with

Readers of Hawthorne’s ''House of Buv-

which poor Clifford Pyncheon, who hud
been unjustly imprisoned since Ids early
manhood, said, after his release: "My life
is gone, and where is happiness? Oh I give
me my happiness." But that could be
done only iu part, as gleams of warm sun
shine occasionally fall across the gloom of
a New Englnnd autumn dny.
In a letter to Messrs. Hiscox & Co,,
Mr. L. H. Titus, of Pennigton, N. J.,
says: “I have suffered untold misery from
