The amount of water in food is very
large. A beat steak contains rs per
cent of water. In buying pound, only
one-fourth of that pound is dry solid
meat.
Cabbages contain 50 to 90 per cent of
their weight of water, and succulent
fruits sometimes more than ninety per
cent. OF substances most commonly
eaten, rusks or biscuits are the driest,
and water-melons the most watery of
foods.
When water is taken into the system
it assists without doubt in the building
up of new Tissues, and in the repiar of
the old. According to this view it is not
merely dilutent of fluids, it does not
simply play an inactive part like lubri.
cant Of machinery, but is in the truest
sense food.
There are plenty of experiments-both
involuntary experiments, as among ship
wrecked people, and experiments made
for the purpose-showing that so long as
water is taken, the deprivation of all
other food can be supported for very
long time.

According to the Savannah News. far
out at sea, along both the Gulf and At.
lantic coasts of Florida, are several
springs of fresh water. They are well
known to the spongers and fishermen,
who frequently visit them to replenish
casks. On this same coast is an oil spring,
which diffuses a calm over troubled wa
tiers, and affords safe refuge to vessels
during q gale.

PIG-LOOKING.
A Habit That Should Not BE Neglected

Under Any Circumstances.
A man who succeeds with pigs must
look them over frequently. They are
so much like the human family that
they are liable to all sorts of ailments.
Isay "liable," but, like the human
species, with ordinary care and lack
of abuse, they will live out their allotted
time. like to look at my pigs. | en-

ach's at Natures fountains, and then
stack themselves in q pile, regardless
of form, and take refreshing snooze.
! have almost envied them their solid
comfort. TO make the picture perfect,
it must be noticed that they have a
clean bed and a clean pen. Looking
the pigs over often pays. 1t is always
easier to cure any trouble when it first
starts, and looking at them frequently
is the way to detect anything wrong.
Thumps may usually be arrested
when the first symptoms are apparent
by compelling the pig to take a great
deal of exercise. Piles, common dis
order with pigs, can be stopped on the
first signs of protrusion, by giving more
laxative food; or, if the food has been
too sour, so as to produce irritation and
Inflammation, it should be changed.
After the protrusion has lasted several
days the parts will have to slough off
before there will be cure. The food
must also be changed.
A poor appetite, common among
hogs, is caused by overlooking the
stomach, and cold or unsuitable food.
Less food, different food, or warm food,
for mess or two, may prove remedy,
or it may be well to intermit mess or
two Observation will tell all about it.
Neglect will let them suffer and die.
A disordcred stomach is quite com.
mon among pigs; sometimes vomiting
follows. Charcoal wik help to regulate
the stomach. A little salt will aid, and
so will sulphur. These are simple rem
edies, which will correct the digestion,
or, rather, set it at work in a natural
way; but if the trouble is neglected, and
the causes of it continue Gas will be
likely without observation), fever and
inflammation will follow.
Stiffness, either from too long con-
tinement or from too much solid and
heating food, especially corn. may be
overcome by a change of condition and
food, when tie first symptoms are no,
ticed. The stiffness is one of the things
the hog breeder must always be look
ing for, and avoid if possible, 1t will
run his profits down at rapid rate.
Looking for causes and effects is the
pig mans safety, and in the looking he
may also find food for study and even
pleasure. .--RurGL NeoO Yorker.

How Noblemen Are Made.

When King Gustavus III. was in Paris
he was visited by a deputation of the
Sorbonne. That learned body congrat-
ulated the King on the eshappy fortune
which had given him so great man a:
Scheele, the discoverer of magnesium,
as his subject and fellow-countryman.
The King, who took small interest in
the progress Of science, felt somewhat
ashamed that he should be so ignorant
as never even TO have heard of the re.
nowned chemist. He dispatched q
courier at once to Sweden, with the
Iaconic order: "Scheele is to be imme
diately raised to the dignity of a Count. I"
His Majesty must be obeyed," said
the Prime Minister, as he read the order,
"but who in the world is Scheele?" A
Secretary was told to make inquiries
lie came back to the Premier vii h very
full information. "Scheele is a good
sort of fellow" said he, "a Lieutenant
in the artillery, capital shot. and a
first rate hanl at billiards." The next
day the Lieutenant became a Count.
and tie illustrious scholar and scientist
remained a simple burgher. The error
was not discovered until the King re-
turned home. His Majesty was indig.
