WATER FATTENING.

s'Water is not, of course, fattening; but it
keeps the figure rounded and plump" re-
marks Mrs Rorer in the Household NeluS, to
the question of a subscriber. "It must be
remembered that human beings are nearly
Is per cent water, and as this water is ex-
creted through the kidneys, skin, intestines
and lungs, it must be constantly replaced or
the individual will become shriveied not
from a lack of fat, but from a lack of water.
Water drinkers, as rule, are plump, for
the simple reason that they keep up the ne
cessary quantity required. 1t Is certainly
advisable to take the proper quantity each
day In answer to your question why some
persons are advised to drink much water, it
Is, presume, to wash out the kidneys and
keep them active 1t is the man who drinks
a small quantity Of water, eats large guam
tity of albumen, washed down with wines,
and INDUCES also in sprituous liquors, that
usually has kidney trouble. Tho a6ul6 re-
ouires daily three or four pints of water.
0ne-third of this will be contained in the
food if fruit is used; the amount required for
drink of course, would be the remaining
quantity. Some experiments made in Eng
lish cavalry stables were used to determine
the amount of water required daily Tor
horses. Horses; vary as much as men. The
average working horse, if allowed to have
free access to a drinking trough, will con-
sumo eight to ten gallons a day. Ami
mails, from instinct, know how much water
should be taken, and, when they are fed on
dry food. drink half as much again to make
up for the loss of water i'll their food. Do
we practice the same careful feedings |
would like to call attention to one thing in
connection with this subject, and that is the
giving OF water TO infants Many a baby
suffers for want of water. The average

but the unframed imagine that liquid food is
all that is necessary; but this is grave mis-

LAID With ASPHALT.
Barrow Street Will Be Opened
For Public Traffic
Tomorrow.

The first street to be laid with the asphalt
pavement was completed at noon today and
will be open for traffic tomorrow morning.
This street is Barrow street, which, from
its easterly end at Grand street to the Penn
sylvania Railroad elevated tracks, is paved
with the Barbour system of "re-service of
cobble stones" excepting at the intersections
of Montgomery and York streets. Along
these streets are rails for the motors, and at
these portions where Barrow street crosses it
was found better to leave the Belgian block
pavement untouched
As the workmen from the Barbour As
phalt Paving Company of Washington, d.
O., were finishing the last few yards this
morning at the Grand street end large
crowd was collected watching the operation
of rolling the dark earth known as asphalt.
All the employees were brought from Wash
lngton and are thoroughly experienced
workmen, They have large sheets of rubber
fastened to their boots to prevent making any
impression in the soft surface. Before the
work of rolling, however, there is much to
be done.
HOW THE ASPHALT IS LAID.
The first work is to clear off the cobble
stones lowering those standing up too high
and raising up to grade those sunken, and
reset the curbstones. When the cobbIestones
are cleaned of the dirt between them
binder consisting of three inches of
asphalt and limestone rubble is laid on and
raked TO an even surface. Then upon this
hard bed Is laid two inches of asphalt, also
raked, but heightened in the centre to form
miniature watershed to carry off surface
water, When this is done q roller Weighing
five tons is drawn back and forwards and
when the surface is moderately hard and the
asphalt is compressed ten ton roller is
drawn over its surface and thus completing
the compression into a solid mass. Twenty
four hours is sufficient to harden the pave
ment before vehicles are permitted to roll on
top of it.
Since Barrow street is finished the work
men will begin next with the streets sur
rounding Van Worst, and one block of each
thoroughfare entering the square will be
paved. All the work will be finished before
July l, at least the contractor says so and
he ought to know.

DRAWING TO OACLOSE
The Jersey City News Con-
test for the Coveted
European Trip.
GREAT CHANGE IN TODAY'S VOTE
Many Are Withholding Coupons
Until the Time For Closing
the Polls.

The teachers contest for the $3.50 trip to
Europe is becoming as hota as the weather it
self There are only four days more in
| which to collect coupons, because at noon on
Saturday next the last coupon will be issued,
and on the Monday following the polls will
close. Hence the friends of the contesting
teachers must make haste and turn their
votes in
During the next two or three days, there
will be great changes in the NUMBER of votes
daily published in these columns. There is
no doubt that large number of votes are
being held back, so that at the last moment
a candidate may be hurried to the front
One little hoy in No 20 School told the
writer that there are nearly 1000 votes for a
teacher in his school to be turned in on Sat
urday next. And so it is among pupils OF
other schools. They are holding back a
mass Of votes for their favorite teachers.
This adds a great amount of excitement
to the contest and justifies the remark OF a
High School pupil, ''Nobody knows who's
who"
The offer of THE NEWS to give $3.50 for a
European trip to the most popular teacher is
a prize well worth having and within the
reach of every teacher in this city and Ho-
boken. All that is necessary for victory is
to turn in the largest number OF coupons
cut from THE NEWS.
Tomorrow list of the judges of the con-
test will be published, and these will all be
men of prominence in this city, whom every
body knows and respects. They will begin
their work counting the votes after the close
Of the polls on Monday, June 25, and their
Judgment viii be given on the following day
On the 9th THE NEWS will announce the
,xyi,. xty,o To
receive check for $3.50 and start on the
first steamer for the Old World.
CHANGES IN ToDAY's VOTE.
Up to noon today large batch of coupons
were handed in, making great changes in the
relative positions Of the contesting teachers.
Yesterday Miss Eamill was ahead; today
the vote places her nearly 100 behind Miss
Clara Post, whose friends, by the way, are
working like ants Then the friends of Miss
O'Toole of Hoboken High School sent in this
morning 652 votes, making her formidable
opponent. Other contestants positions are
altered also in a less degree.

PUGET SOUND DRY DOCK.
The Navy department. Investigating
Alleged inferior work.

WASHINGTON, June 19, 1S94-The first
result Of Secretary Herberts Pacific Coast
tour is an official investigation of tire new
Puget Sound naval station. Captains Asser-
sou, Menocal and Prindle, of the Civil
Engineers Corps, left New York very
privately last Friday night for Seattle on
mission which has been carefully guarded:
The importance attached to their trip Will
be appreciated when it is stated that they
are the ranking officers OF their corps, Capt.
Asserson being in charge OF the Brooklyn
yard and Capt. Menocal of the Norfolk
yard
1t is understood that their expert opinion
is required as to the usefulness of the new
dry dock costing S6O0,000 now under CON
struction. Some doubt has arisen as to
whether its foundations are strong enough TO
carry the great shirts of the navy, for which
it was designed 1t is said the contractor
has not been driving the piles as deep as call
ed for by the specifications and that an EFFORT
has been made to use inferior concrete in the
work
The contractor claims that he cannot drive
the piles as deep as demanded by the Navy
Department. as the soil is harder than was
indicated by the preliminary borings made
before the specifications were drawn, and
that the work he has done is good enough
for all practical purposes anyhow. de IS
further of the opinion that the speciiicatl ons
for mixing the required 10000 cubic feet OF
rubble concrete are unnecessarily severe.
70 settle these questions three ranking
officers are dispatched across the country at
considerable expense to the Government,
which Secretary Herbert thinks is much
better policy than having the dock prove
failure when an emergency arises Tor
promptly decking 10, ,o0O-ton battIeshlp.

GROVER HOME AGAIN.
President Cleveland Greatly Rene-
Gtted by Ills Viz Sail.


WASHINGTON, June 10, 1S94.-The light
house tender Maple, with President Cleve-
land on board, returned from her cruise
down the lower Chesapeake Bay and outside
the capes, and made the customary landing
at Rich's Wharf, at the foot of Seventh
street, at half-past six this morning The
President remained on board till the White
House carriage and Mr.. Thurber arrived,
and was then driven to the Executive
Mansion.
When the carriage reached the White
House at s.45, the President alighted as
lightly and firmly as after any of his former
fishing excursions, and seemed to be quite
strong again. His face was bronzed and
he was evidently in excellent condition He
has had no recurrence of his ailment,
and Dr. O'Reilly thinks he will have none.
The party did no fishing, the Maple being
kept under way all the time.
Secretary Lamont Joined the President
soon after he entered his office, and the
business affairs of the nation were resumed
before the President had been in the execu-
tive mansion an hour.

OPPOSITION TO A SALOON.

The residents of Greenville are up in arms
against John H. Huey, who has purchased
the saloon on Avenue D, near the canal
bridge, formerly owned by Samuel
Brewster The residents say that the saloon
is a disorderly house. When Huey
purchased it few weeks ago and
applied to the Board of Alder
men for transfer of the
license, the residents, among them being
Counsellor Mungro j. Currie, sent a remon-
STRANGE to the board At the last meeting
of the board the remonstrance was ignored,
and the license was transferred to Huey.
The residents, however, have not given up
the fight The license expires on the first of
next month, and they will request Chief
Murphy to petition the board to refuse re-
newal
Counsellor Currie, when interviewed by a
reporter of THE JERSEY CITY News last
evening, refused to talk about the matter
He admitted, however, that the fight against
the saloon would be continued until the Al
dermen revoke the license.

INSTANCE OF RECKLESS BRAVERY

Secretary Herbert tells the following
story My regiments had charged right up
among the guns of a Union battery, whose
men and horses had nearly all been killed
There was one gun to which four horses had
been attached The two rear horses had
been shot down in harness. The two leaders
were apparently unhurt, and on one of them
sat lad, head erect, vigorously plying his
whip on the other horse and striving to save
his gun. He was devoting his whole soul to
that purpose, utterly unmindful Of our men.
who were surging about him.
HE was literally like the Casabianca Of
the flaming deck. / could have touched
him with my sword and was about to beg
him to surrender when shots rang out from
behind me and he dropped from his horse,
dead as he fell He might have saved him
self, but he seemed determined to save that
gun or die. 1t was sublime but can never
think of it without shudder at the horrors
Of the sacrifices of that war.-- Washington
