WHY WE ARE THIRSTY.

New York Advertiser:-The sensa-
ton of thirst is caused by lack of
fluids in the system. In a state of
health it indicates that the body
wants moisture. We should distin-
guiSh natural thirst from that caused
by stimulating food and beverages,
which produce a fever in the organs
Of digestion Thirst is caused by a
failure of the salivary and other
glands to secrete proper amount of
fluid for use in the stomach. 1t is pos
sible to quench thirst not only by the
ordinary means, but through the blood
vessels and the skin. Much Of the
water drank passes out through the
skin by means of the blood vessels and
is known as unconscious perspirations.
1t is a we'll known fact that the loss
of blood is always followed by Intense
thirst. This thirst is one of the most
narrowing features of battle field.
as every old soldier knows. The rea-
son for it is that the blood vessels be-
ing drained of their moisture, the skin
becomes parched, and every pore is
changed into a thirsty mouth, Thirst
accompanies fevers, but its causes are
local. being due to dryness in the
throat and mouth, the result of high
temperature.

BOWLING IN FASHION.
An Everyday Matter Now for Women
to Belong to Clubs

| To belong to a bowling club where
you get athletic exercise, together with
cup of tea, a little gossip and an op-
portunity to display a fetching gown
| is the duty of every we'll regulated
member of society. If you happen to
live in town where no bowling club
exists, why not go to work to form
one Immediately? Bowling is essen
TALLY a cold weather sport, the task
would not be herculean and probably
a score or more of people, both ladies
ard gentlemen, would gladly Join In
the enterprise. 1t is not necessary to
build a bowling alley like Miss Helen
GOuld'S, at alrytown, which cost S1O,-
600 and is furnished in hard wood,
willow furniture and Japanese rugs.
The most practical plan would be to
rent room large enough for the regu-
latiOn bowling alley, which is sixty
feet long and three and Oue-half feet
wide. In order to have a number en-
gagged in the game at once a second or
even a third alley must be constructed.
This, however, will not greatly add to
the cost, which, for the alley itself,
would be something in the neighbor-
hood of $50 or $75. A set of tcnpins
cots 81. The balls, which are made Of
lignumvitae, cost different prices, ac-
cording to the size The regulatio
ball of 27-inch circumference costs S4;
from four to six balls are required.
A blackboard on which to record the
scores will take another 81, while a
dollar or two can easily be squandered
in providing chalk and a sponge.
Whatever the outlay at first, there is
one satisfaction, that no replenishing
will be necessary for long time to
come.
If not thoroughly conversant with
the game of bowls it will be necessary
to buy one of the books on the subject;
this will demand the outlay of only a
silver dime.
Ten innings constitute a game. Each
player bowls three balls in an inning,
and thus thirty balls in game. He
bowls his three balls in succession and
scores by the number of pins he
knocks down altogether. The balls
used at present have finger holes in
them. which makes them easier to
handle. If he knocks down all the
pins with the first ball he makes a
strike. If all the pins 60 down under
the first two balls the player has made
spare. and if the three balls are
used he counts just so many as bowled
down. A beginner must remember
not to look at the pins when bowling,
but to keep his eye fixed on the alley.
In almost every case the eyes of the
neOphyte at bowling are upon the pins.
at the time of delivering the ball: nor
should the mistake be made of using
the big balls until first able to roll the.
smaller ones with accuracy.

, CATION. In the summer of 1891 1 came
over the Santa Fee railroad, between
Kansas and Colorado, nearly every
week. and quite early in the spring
my attention was called to a field Of
alfalfa, l think east of Newton. Kas.,
and this was on the lowlands. and
that season there was 4 great deal of
rain, so much that in many places
along the railroad the wheat and corn
were ruined. For time this field Of
alfalfa did splerdidly. but as soon as
the rain ceased to fall the alfalfa be-
gan to fade, while that in western
Kansas and Colorado on irrigated land
made three crops of hay in the season.
Alfalfa is very successfully grown on
the irrigated lands of Colorado Utah,
Idaho, and Washington, and have
seen an immense yield along the north
fork of Snake river, eastern Idaho,
where there is nothing but white said
for a depth of fifty feet; but in the
Wood river valley of Idaho, where it is
coarse gravel and seemingly no soil
at all for a depth of twenty feet, al
falfa grows luXuriantly, but in each
OF these places named the land is de-
uged with water. Alfalfa is proving
a success in the Yakima valley of
Washington, on the irrigated lands,
but l hear very little of it on the ia
nous bottom lands of the Puget Sound
country. In the arid region, where
there is plenty of water for irrigation,
it is, in my Judgment, far more des1r-
able than any other forage plant
have ever seen. 1t thrives best in the
country of perpetual sunshine, for
it depends largely on the nitrogen Of
the air for its growth Alfalfa and ir-
rigation go well together-L. G. Teed.

CHAPTER X.

The function was arranged for a
certain Wednesday in February, the
day before Dacre was to leave for
school, and the children had been
given formal notice to appear in the
drawing room at three o'clock. They
were now waiting in the SchOOl-roOm
specializing on the event. They knew
it must be something very unusual
from the fact of the drawing-room. of
all places in the world, being ap-
pointed as the scene of action.
1t was at the end of dismal six
weeks of holidays, mostly spent, by
reason of colds, between the nursery
and the school-rOom. Indeed, it had
been the very fiattest bout of holidays
the two had ever yet endured. Dacre's
object being attained, there was no
further use for organized ''cussedness'
so he had relapsed into his ordinary
state of gusty wickedness, which be-
ing natural was nothing very especial
in the way Of paStime, and quite I'M
like the six months excitement of his
raid on society. There was nothing to
neither cricket, football, nor even
ridng-so small wonder that life was
pretty mrch of a blank to the boy.
| 1t was even worse for Gwen, the
mover and the handspring of the en-
terprise. When she found herself
landed VIGOROUSLY on the threshold of
her goal, with her conscious triumph
there got mixed other sensations of a
most unpleasant nature. The horrible
feeling Of fat inaction after The whirl
of action, that plays havoc with al
great conQuerors, seized Oh her, and
did the same by this little one, and
then she had none of the fetes and the
follies that follow hot on the heels OF
other conquerors for their consolation
She felt the most miSera BILE victor

in his mind.

went on sadly, zones duty seems to be

Interfere with such hopes, always sup
posing them to be lawful and right"
Indeed, | quite agree with YOU
said Mrs. Fellowes with much hearth
ness and with an unholy tendency to
laughter, Il agree with you, andssn
doubt, as is the way of such things,
your hopes are bound up in the hopes
and happiness Of another. For her
sake alone you must consider your pO-
sition seriously"
Yes, | will turn my thoughts to
some other sphere of action, but before

resolve, Il deem it my duty to my
employers to represent to them the
urgent ACCESSIBILITY of sending my elder
nupil to public school, know you
agree with me in this, Mrs. Fellowes?"
Agree with you! why, we have been
fighting for it for years"
Then [ may rely on you and your
husbands help in this matter!' he
asked looking rather askew admiration
at her through his eyeglasses.
He had received Slight injury to
one eye in his youth, and according to
Dacrc it was now game one"
By these suggestions of Mr. Gedge
it will be seen that Ovens leaven
was working.

CHAPTER IN.

The decree had gone forth, and Dacre
and SiSterly guile had won the day,
though not without Il tough struggle.
The idea of home culture, vague and
illdetined as it was, died hard, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Waring still bemoaned
their fate daily in the intervals of
work
They were now much disturbed IN
their minds concerning the plan of re
ligion which they had conceived in
the tender youth of their offspring,
and which had been worked up to
with rather more consistency than
usually characterized those plans of
their that dealt with outside and
minor matters.
That it should have occurred to
Henry and Grace Warning was the
most remarkable part of this plan.
They both looked upon religion as
they did upon art, as thing apart
and on Il somewhat low level, TO be
considered in leisure hours. In some
phases of mind they might indeed al
most have been said to glory in it, and
to rejoice that the ages should own
such a heritage, just as one might re-
joice in the work of a great master
They We're. of course, both too ap-
preciative of good literature to have
neglected the Bible, they knew every
twist and turn in it as they did of the
Koran and the Brahminic Vedas.
As for doubts and things of that
sort, they never, so to speak, went in
for them, their minds were not of. that
order. In the same way the truths or
the untruthS of Christianity seemed
to them an interesting enough study
between working hours. In Mrs. War
ings case perhaps, they appealed fit
fully to some part of herself she
never quite understood, that same sen.
timental part that often suffered a
keen stab,-for instance in the case OF
from a strange look in Ovens face
But she had almost ceased to Specu
late upon these odd sensations, an(
was inclined to put them down to {
strain of puritan blood that had some
how trickled into the more vigorou:
fluid of her fighting forebears, which
perhaps might almost account for hel
preference for Christianity over othel
creeds.
1t will be seen that the reception o.
rejection of Christianity by their chill
dren, was a matter of no vital impor
lance to these parents. They We're
however. intensely interested in tn,
result itself. that was quite anothe
thing: the phases of mind the function
must unfold seemed certainly a sub
ject worth research, and filled then
with the keenest interest.

departure was to take place. ''tha

suddenly, and looking at her in a di
turbed. restless way. She went owe

blotted from her memory with shame,
her mother almost wished they

MOLASSES IN TANKS.

Tank steamers have for some time
been used for carrying petroleum and
molasses, but it has remained for a
Louisiana man to bring the tank into
use for molasses on shore. He intends
to handle the sweet, sticky stuff in
much the same way that crude oil is
treated, storing It in big tanks in his
yards until it is needed for shipment,
when it may be pumped into barrels
by a high pressure pump. The mo-
lasses is to be gathered from the var
ious sugar plantations and transported
in tank cars. Whether the new tariff
law will upset his plans remains to be
seen.
