IP' L ' '' " K- *. ' Ep?Y-.w PACTS ABOUT PERSPIRATION. A fraction Almost Pecaliar to Mea, Meikeys aod Horses. Perspiration is almost peculiar to men, monkeys and horses. Horses sweat all over the body, and so do human beings, but monkeys. It Is said, sweat only on the hands, feet and face. The use of perspiration is mainly to cool the body by its evaporation, although it is generall believed that waste materials are also excreted through the sweat glands when the action of the kidneys is interfered with. In animals that perspire but little, the cooling of the body is effected by evaporation from the lungs, as we see in the case of a panting dog. The amount of perspiration varies greatly, according to the temperature of the surrounding air, the condition of health, the degree of exercise taken, the amount of fluids imbibed, etc. The average amount of perspiration Is thought to be about two pints a day, but this is of course much increased in hot weather. In damp weather evaporation from the skin is lessened, and so one seems to perspire more profusely than in dry weather; but this is only apparent, for really transpiration is lessened when the atmosphere is charged with moisture. ? Hvperhidrosis is the medical term used to denote an abnormal increase In perspiration. This increase may be general from the entire body, or confined to some particular part, as the face, the hands or the feet. Profuse sweating is very common in cases of debility and in excessively stout er sons, it occurs aiso in connection wim rheumsttism and certtain nervous disorders. Sudden emotion may cause increased perspiration. The opposite condition, a great dim? inution or absence of sweating (anhidrosis), is mush rarer, and occurs usually in connection with some disease of the skin. Sometimes the character of the secretion is changed, and cases of black, blue, gray, yellow or red sweating have been described. The treatment of profuse persplraI& tion depends upon the cause. Tonics, cold or cool bathing, aspecially salt ^v - bathing, temperate exercise, and rub-. bing of the skin are useful in cases dependent upon general debility or obesity. SprayiDg or sponging the body with brandy and water, vinegar and water, or a solution of tannin or of boric add is useful. Certain drugs which have a tendency to diminish perspiration are sometimes | employed to reduce the night sweats of consumption, when these are so ex_ cesslve as to weaken the already deIfc . * bllitated patient and to prevent muchpV needed sleep.?Youth's Companion.

Lucretia adjustel her sewing ! glasses aud sorted out two or three patchwork squares. The suggestions 1 of a story were iu her face. Then she 1 was rocking gently, aud the rocker gave forth its familiar creak which was a suggestion, too. When Lucretia's chair creaked iu that way, her 1 hearers settled into their chairs aud waite.l.

"No, but he got pretty near it?as near as the J postoftice!" I The creaking waved a little trera- j ulous, as if the chair were laughing with Lucretia. Of course every oue j else was. There was something con- j tagious in Lucretia's silent mi th. "To this day I haven't got over it!" j she gasped. "Nor I guess Cicely Gove hasn't ?nor Horatio.

This was a neighborhood pleasantry, but Lucretia's mind was on Horatio's narrow escape from matrimony, aud she let it slip by uuappre- 1 ciated.

Beautiful Annual Ceremony at a Church Near the City of Mexico. Among the benntiful customs of Mexico, which, it is to be hoped, will never pass away, is that of the "Feast of the Poppies." It comes on the Thursday following Easter day, henco is called "Jueves de Amapolas," or "Poppy Thursday." The celebration service is con lined to very few churches, the favorite one near the City of Mexico being Our Lady of Carmel, in the town of San Angel, a few miles away in the valley. In the churchyard at the last celebration were devout Indians, who had brought of their treasures. Popping with oak leaves in wreaths and bunches, decorated the walls and facade of the quaiut old building in which convertr were made before the first colonists bad arrived in New England There were poppy-laden booths, and Indian folk, men and women, young people and babies, sat on the ground with their brilliant wares spread around them. In each i orner of the yard was a pretty flowerdecked altar to Our lady of Carmel, aud to these the Indians lovingly brought more of their fragile offerings.

It was like a snowstorm of exquisite beauty, snd the effect was enchanting. The rich coloring of the walls and altar? red, bine, gold and white?took on idded richness as seen through tbe poppy cloud. The showers were repeated at intervals through the serrice. At the close of the service the bells oegan to ring aud a procession narched from the church.

HOLES THROUGH BOTTOM Navy Department Notified and n i. a .1:^. rr?irnn XTUUipi; AUI/1UU iaaou. The following dispatches were received at the navy department Saturday morning relative to the grounding of the battleship Oregon: | "Ciie Foo, June 29.?Secretary of the Navy: Anchored yesterday, dense fog in seventeen fathoms, three miles south of How Ke Light, gulf of Pe Chile. Sent out two boats and sounded?least water five and half fathoms. Weather clear. Got under way and struck Pinnacle rock. Much wator in the forward compartment. Perfectly smooth.

Brooklyn leaves for Nagasaki. The Zafiro, at Che Foo, has been sent to assist Oregon, reported by Rogers on a rock south of How Ke light. Iris going to her assistance. Remey." Captain Wilde's statement of the injury sustained by tbe Oregon is not sufficient for the department to form a definite opinion as to the prospects of saving the famous ship. They say, I however, that the ship probably can be saved, if the weather does not become rough, but unfortunately this is the season of storms in Chinese waters. Tbe point where the Oregon grounded is fifty miles west northwest of Che Foo. Taku is 150 miles west of Pinnacle rock, where she struck. At the request of the secretary of the Davy, the state department sent a | message to the Russian government at St. Petersburg asking permission to I bring the Oregon to Port Arthur to be docked there in the event the ship enn be floated. At that point is the nearest dock of sufficient size to dock the ship, and it is part of the navy yard possessions of the Russian government. Secretary Long will spare no reasonable expense in the effort to save the Oregon. Her total cost was $5,575,032. On this total tbe hull and machinery represented $3,222,810. ! The OregaD made herself the most famous ship in the Araericnn navy, | and the best known sbip in tbe navies of tbe world by her remarkable race from San Francisco around Cape Horn to join the fleet at Key West just before tbe war with Spain was declared. It was a feat uneqnaled in the annals of naval history, aud an unprecedented test of the capabilities and power of a modern warship. The Oregon, under command of Captain Charles E. Clark, began her long race of 14,000 miles against time from San Francisco on March 19th, 1898. She arrived at Jupiter Inlet, Fla., on May 24tb aud communicated wnn me navy officials at Washington. Secretary Long ordered Captain Clark to report to the Norfolk navy yard if his ship needed overhauling; if not, he was to go directly to Key West. Two days later, or on May 26th, the Oregon joiued tho fleet at Key West. She hal steamed the 14,700 miles at racing speed without the slightest impairment of her delicate machinery, or a break of any kind. The civilized world rang with praises of the magnificent performance of the ship and her heroic crew. The Oregon participated in the attack on Santiago and with the Brooklyn prevented the escape of the Colon I in the memorable sea fight of Jnly4th. During the chase of the Colon the Oregon developed a speed of eighteen knots under forced draft. When peace was declared with Spain the Oregon was sent to Manila. Some days ago the vessel was ordered to China, and had nearly reached her destination when the accident ocr curred. LOVE-SfCK MAID SUICIDES. Her Hero Is at Present In Jail Charged With /lurder.

Man like, he had some business to attend to, and It was arranged just when she should leave the hotel to meet him, what street she should walk along, for the distance was a short one, and where they should join each other. Speaking after the manner of men, she dressed to the limit, and it was a charming figure that went tripping from the ladies' entrance of the hotel. She could see that she was the magnet for all eyes as she passed down the crowded thoroughfare, but thought that some looked at her in a rather curious way. But why not? She had on her best, she looker her best and' she felt her best, a combination not to be beaten. Yet she rather wondered.

MEM MMKMRMlM! &MUSU3B3mOSUSm ' fr y men who do fine sewing, and so forth. Thus we may say that putting children to work at some of the kindergarten exercises, such as perforating and drawing, is in a double sense a shortsighted procedure. Many near-sighted people refuse to wear glasses, preferring to deprive themselves of sight for everything beyond the nose rather than to Injure their personal appearance, as they think. This is another short-sighted policy, for besides losing much of the joy of existence, which comes from seeing the beautiful things about and above us, such persons are very liable to suffer from inflammation of the eyes, produced by constant strain. A less common defect is long or farsightedness, or hypermetropia. This is the opposite of myopia, the eyeball being flattened or shortened, and the rays of light consequently not coming to a focus by the time they reach the retina. In this case, the eye often corrects the defect more or less successfully by making the crystalline lens more convex; but it does this at the expense of the sufferer's nervous force, and so we often find tired and congested eyes, headaches, indigestion, and even serious nervous affections. The effort to correct the vision is entirely involuntary, nnd can be overcome only by the flttting of suitable convex glasses. f AAmmAn H af I lit? lilll U ilUU 1 tvujjuuvu uv?.vv? is astigmatism. In this condition there is some irregularity of the surface of the eye or of the lens, by meqns of "which the image as it reaches the retina is distorted. Untreated astigmatism is a frequent cause of headache and other nervous disturbances. The only relief is the wearing of glasses, at least while reading, writing, ot whenever near objects are looked at-* Youth's Companion.
