Inpure Drinking Water.

Comparatively few people know what
large amount OF water the human body
consists of. A man Weighing 200 pounds is
made up of 10 pounds of water and so
pounds OF solids The latter includes bone,
muscle, etc Even the fat of the body con-
tains 10 per cent of water: the, liver IS
made up of SO per cent, and the Diood OF
g. The skin contains u per cent, the
brain 20. and muscle 10
1t may be naturally supposed that a
out the body must constitute very Inn
portant article of its existence. Recent
experiments have shown that on water
alone life may be sustained as long as
fifty-fiye days, whereas if dry food only
were given death would ensue in q quarter
of that time and this in a most agoniz-
ing way. The terrible agony that snip
wrecked mariners sometimes suner IN
this way win induce them to drink sea
water, and this adds hundred fold to
the uncomfortable thirst that induces de-
lirium and death.
With regard to drinking waters, the
purest is that which comes from deep
springs or deep wells, where the access OF
surface water is guarded against, or from
lakes al a high altitude. These waters, as Il
rule, are very palatable. The most dan
gerous waters to drink are those stored
! in the form OF rain water, or surface
water running over cultivated lands, as
these absorb all the inapureitles that they
come in contact with River water is al
ways dangerous, as it Invariably becomes
contaminated with sewage. Water from
shallow wells absorb surface drainage,
and may be always considered utterly
unfit for drinking purposes.-Ihe Gentle-

ports the queens persistent refusal and
obstlnacy to appoint a cabinet may
precipitate q crisis.
January Is, Captain Wiltse makes a
report on the uprising and the landing
OF the marines and the sailors of the
Boston under his command, and says:
ION January 16, there was q large and
enthusiastic mass meeting, composed
of representative men at Honolulu,
held in the-largest hall in the city.
at d. m. the same day, I received
from the United States minister a re-
quest to land the sailors and marines
from the Boston to protect the United
states legation, consulate and lives and
property Of American citizens. At 4.30,
January 5s Z landed the ships batal-
lion under command Of Lieutenant
Commander William II. Swinehn'n.
One detachment OF marines was placed
at the legation and one at the consul
late, while the main body, with two
pieces of artillery, were quartered in a
hail in central location, near the
government building.
The text Of Minister Stevens letter
to Captain WiltSe, on January 16. 1898.
asking him TO land the American
troops. was as follows:
Tin view of the present critical cir
cumstanees, indicating an inadequate
loyal force, 4 request you to land the
marines ana SAILORS IRON INe snip
under your command for the protec-
ton of the United States legation and
the = United States consulate and to
secure the safety of American life. and
Captain Wiltse then recites that the
proTfstona government was estab-
lished. the queen -dethroned and the
new authorities recognized by the
