THE PHILOSOPHY OF DRINKING.
About Two Quarts of "soIvcnts'' and ID
Iuents" Needed Each Day.

LUCILLE HNf'bta AaaAAh bhy
What we have now to say relates to
the wisdom and reason of drinking
fluids which are in the first place and
principally solvents and diluents. Not
very long q those unhappy folk who
go YEARLY and sadly, because forsooth
they are waxing fat, were warned to
leave off drinking largely and minimize
the quantity of liquid they consumed.
Never before, perhaps, wa there a more
mischievous fad imposed on a too
credulous public than this reduction Of
the amount of fluid taken. Now the
obese are, by the rotary madness of the
crazy in physic. counseled to drink
deeply. This, at least, is a safe policy,
and whether or not it does anything in
aid of the removal of fat, it will GER
tainly not produce the evil consequences
which have in too many cases been
brought about by the abstinence from
solvents and diIuents.
Our concern is not with the "anti-fat7
movement: with this we have no sort of
sympathy, except in so far as an accu-
mutation Of adipose tissue may chance
to be morbid. Meanwhile there are
physiological facts in relation to drinking
which ought to be recalled by those who
know them, and brought TO the knowl-
edge of the unskilled in medicine, be
Il they concern the promotion of
of health. Thus it is essential that there
should be constantly passing through
the organism a flushing, as it were, of
fluid, to hold in solution and wash away
A.. ---l -
waste. Those who do not recognize
the fact that three-quarters by weight of
the entire organism is normally com
posed of fluid cannot fully realize the
great need which exists for a copious
supply.
If there be not a sufficient
endosmose, the exosmose must be re-
stricted, and efete matters, soluble in
themselves, but not dissolved because of
the deficiency of fluid available, will be
retained. Take, for example, the uric
acid; this excrementitious product re-
quires not less than some 5000 times its
bulk of water at the temperature of the
blood to hold it in solution; and if it
be not dissolved it rapidly crystallizes,
with more or less disastrous conse-
quences, rs in govt, gravel, and proba-
bly, many other less w~ell-recognized
troubles. We only mention this par
ticular excrement by way of illustration.
In all, it may be fairly concluded that
not less than three and a half pints
should be consumed by any person in
t~wenty-four hours, and when the body
is bulky, four or ever five pints should
he the average.
1t is, moreover, desirable that the
fluid thus taken should be in the main
either pure water or water in which the
simplest extracts arc held in solution.
When fluid taken "as drink is itself
heavily charged with solid matter, it
cannot fairly be expected TO so entirely
rid itself of this burden in the process of
digestion and absorption as TO be avail
able for solvent purposes generally, al
though the separation between solid and
fluid ingredients of the food is doubtless
fairly complete in the processes prepar-
atory to assimilation London Lancet.

Wife-MIurder and Suicide.

ATLANTA, Ga. Oct. "a special re-
ports the frightful murder of Rachel
White, and the subsequent suicide of
the murderer. For some time the cou-
pie have been apart, the husband ac-
cusing the wife of inldelity. Three
weeks ago the husband attempted sui
eide owing to his unhappy relations,
and several days ago the pair met on
the streets, when the husband taxed
the wife with her conduct and gave
her severe personal cnastisement, and
ON later occasion shot at but missed
her. lie then made overtures for rec
onciliation, and pursuaded her to walk
into the woods with him, where they
might talk over the matter. The wo-
man not returning to her home search
was instituted, when her dead body
was found by log, fairly riddlcd with
bullets. Near by was found the body
of her husband suspended from tree.

"A New Wall.

AS the mayor has issued a per-
emptory order for Thompson's theatre
to be torn down at once, on Monday
Mr.. c. A. Gill will go to work to erect
an inner and supporting east wall i'll
the ST George Hotel. The east wall
of the hotel was in part the west wall
of the theatre, and in tearing down
the theatre it may be necessary to take
out that wall also; so that in the event
such should be the case the St George
will be protected and very greatly
strengthened. The tearing down Of
the theatre will, of course, be deferred
until this wall can be constructed. 1t
would seem that there ought to be an
ordinance requiring every building TO
have its own walls, and not permit
one house to build on to another. If
this had been the law then the St.
George would not now be at the ex-
pense of building in new wall.

FIGHTING THE RETURN TO TEN HOURS.
CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-The $1,000 em-
ployes OF the twenty-one packing
houses at the stock yards have almost
unanimously resolved not to return to
the packing district Monday. The
question as to whether the hog men
will allow the beef men TO work Is
now being discussed. The prevailing
impression is that the locked-out men
will not allow anybody to work in any
Of the packing houses. Should they
conclude to prevent the beef men
from working, about 10000 men will
be thrown out of employment.
A WALK-OUT.
The great strike of the employees OF
the Chicago packing houses against
the proposition to return to the ten
hour system of work began yesterday
morning. A committee of 1900 men
waited on the foreman of the works
and demanded that the notices be TAX

men at once left the building and were

has yet occurred.

Changed HIS Mind.

MIR. Vanderbilt never gave a thought
70 an artists or an architects reputa-
ton. He couldn't understand why a
man should complain of change in his
plans which would injure him, SO long
rs the owner and employer paid for it.
When the plans for his big house were
in course of preparation he was urged
by his architect to prepare for larger
dining-room than he was contemplating.
Why" said the man of art, you
can't give banquets in such a room.
%, d-n banquets. I'm not going to
give any,
'But you must. A man can't live in
such house as you are building with
out giving large entertainments.
''Well. il give any," said Vanderbilt.
''rll give them in the picture-gallery."
The picture-gallery adjoined the
dining-room. SO the buffers pantry was
arranged to open into both rooms. But
one morning, when the walls of the
great house had gone up two stories,
Mr.. Vanderbilt made his appearance in
his architects office. Hunt was build
ing William X. s house, and was giving
the young man noble banquet-hall,
thirty feet high and splendid with
carving.

"A good deal,n answered the archi-
tect. There will have to be new
foundations, the walls that are up will
have to be taken down. and--a
What do care for that? How much
will it cost?''
The architect made some figures, and
told MIR. Vanderbilt that it would cost
$30.000
''Wcll, go ON and do it., was the
answer.
But the architect objected. He told
Mr.. Vanderbilt that to tear down the
walls would hurt his reputation. People
would think that there had been Il de-
feet in his plans. The CrGsus heard
this in Open-mouthed astonishment, and

Face Memory.

We must say to begin with that .
large proportion of mankind, as any
great portrait painter win testify. never
see faces actually at all Some are short
sighted and see no definite edges to any
thing. and consequently. though uncon-
sciously, rely for Identification ON evil
dence which is not that of sight and is
frequently al wrong. They see the
type. but not the true face, and, rs q
considerable portion of mankind pos
sess type faces, distinguished from
others of like kind by differences as
minute as those Of leaves, the short
sighted are constantly liable to error.
So are the inattentivc. They fail sonIe-
times, after many interviews, TO catch
the expression Of the face; can not
state, except in the yaguest way. the
color of eyes or hair, and will mistle-
scribe features perhaps prominent feat
ures-as if they were paid to do it.
They have never attended TO the face at
all, but have been content with u gen.
eral expression; they have never OBJ
served with any true observation, and
are as little to be trusted in their ac-
counts as women believe most men TO be
when describing women's dress. They
will even confuse dark persons with
light, and declare that long face
struck them as & short one. or hesitate,
rs witness did in bigamy ease, about
the presence or absence of Il mustache.
Indeed, it is probable that large sec
ton of mankind can not observe, for of
all who land for the first time in India
or China, at least half declare that all
Indians or Chinese are precisely alike.
Yet, though Cinnamon have certain
broad points of resemblance in color,
shape of brows and absence of hair,
they are in details as different as Eu-
ropeans; while Indians, owing TO their
wide difference in color, the use or dis
use of hair on lip or chin. and the eN-
istcnce among them of features due to
varieties of original race, are more diff
ferent than white. Inattentions is, how
ever, the main cause of error, and is
sometimes carried to extraordinary
lengths. We have known brothers un-
able to state the color of each others
eyes, and fellow collegians who couldno
remember whether acquaintances wore
the mustache or not London Standard.
