Icewater will absorb nearly double the quantity, Water kept in a room for a while is soon unfit for use, and ice water should always be kept covered up,

Had she been aware of her peril, she could have have easily escaped by stepping aside on a platform specially built for the use of plate-layers and other workmen. But it would seem that while the bridge was under construction the country folks were not prevented from crossing it, and as no danger then existed, pedestrians had learned to be careless. Whether or not this was the cause, the woman appeared to pay no attention to the whistling of the engine. She passed the platform and ran along the line, the train rapidly overtaking her.

REFERRING to the recent recall of the French military instructors from the Japanese army. the Japan Mail says:-It is evident that the recall of the French military Instructors, has attracted considerable attention in Japan. Several articles have appeared on the subject in the leading vernacular journals. The gist of some is that the event should be treated with indifference, inasmuch as this country has only to consider its own. convenience in employing the paid services of foreigners, and need not give itself any concern about the sentiments of Western States on the subject. Others, however, express regret that anything so nearly approaching an international difference should have occurred between Japan and France. All are unanimous in describing the proximate cause of the latter. Power's very exceptional action, to a feeling of umbrage that officers lent by the French Government to serve as Instructors, in Japan should find themselves employed merely to carry out a system devised, elaborated and directed by Germans. This view of the case tallies with the generally entertained belief. The French officers were more or less set aside, it is said, in favour of their German confrères, and the discrimination finally became so irksome that they made representations to the Government in Paris, which forthwith decided that they should be recalled, and even went so far as to forbid the further admission ofany Japanese cadets to the military and naval colleges of France, It can scarcely surprise any one that the extremely hazardous experiment of employing HERE are a few interesting facts in human life: French and German officers simultaneously pctfullyThere are 306; languages in the world, and its should have ended in a complication If the,
