Water a. Food.

Why is water such an important ar-
ticle Of food? l answer, frst because
about two-t thirds by weight Of our body
is composed Of water, and, second, be.
cause it is required in all the acts and
processes which a living body dis
charges. Thus it is needed to dissolve
our foods, to make good the loss which
is always taking place from lungs, skin
and kidneys, as the result Of our bodily
work, and to play numberless impor-
tant parts in the maintenance Of our
frames.
Look also at the uses Of water from
the household point Of view. For per-
sonal cleanliness, for flushing drains
and sinks, for baths, for washing. for
cooking, and, in the case Of the commu-
nifty, for washing the streets flushing
sewers, and for manufacturing purposes
water is constantly required. Truly il
is q wonderful fluid, not only building
up so much Of our apparently solid
flesh, =" but serving so many useful and
necessary purposes in the maintenance
of our civilized life. Family Magazine.

a RARE MANUSCRIPT.
Copy Of the Pentateuch Believed to De
Eight Centuries Old.

Eight Oiu'
Hebrew scholars in San Francisco
are very much exercised over the au-
thenticity of a rare document in the
library of Adolph Sutro. the Comstock
tunnel millionaire, says recent
dispatch to the Globe-Democrat.
Sutro. when in Europe about
eight years ago, bought largely
Egyptian, Hebraic and Arabian doc
uments and curios. These are now
being overhauled by Rev. DR.. Solomon
Roubin, an Orientalist who has lately
arrived from Paris. In examining
several antique scrolls, upon which the
Pentateuch is written, DR.. Roubin
accidentally stumbled upon one very
dilapidated manuscript, moldy and very
much impaired, that attracted his at
tention. lie discovered that the
method of its scripture, the arrange
ment of the columns and other de-
tails, differed materially from the us
nal methods which obtain in writing
Hebrew scrolls.
Remembering that the great doctor,

given variance from the regular Ordi-
nance governing the writing of scrolls,
DIR. Roubin compared the discovered
manuscript with the rabbits codex and
found that the document agreed in
every particular with the rules laid
down by the Egyptian sage. This
makes the manuscript, II genuine, at
least eight centuries old. 1t is made
of tanned goatskin and is much dam.
aged. Sutro, in order TO confirm the
opinions of his librarian, called meet
ing of Hebrew scholars at the library
and after discussion it was decided to
photograph the manuscript and send
copies to the leading archeologists Of
Europe. The worst that can be said
against its genuineness is that 1t was

Fiddled For Snakes to Dance.

Uncle" Henry Harrison Of Union
county, Tenn, tells the following snake
story, which is vouched for by all his
neighbors;
Several years ago an Italian, Joe dc
Novo by name, bought small tract OF
mountain land about 80 miles from
Caryville. Without repairing the cabin,
he and his wife moved into it. They
were childless and had little to do with
their neighbors. The man went once a
month to the country store that was
near by to make necessary purchases.
Things went on this way until some
hunters, overtaken by storm late one
afternoon, were forced to seek refuge in
his cabin. The rain continuing unabat-
ed, they were forced to remain into the
night.
After supper the italian got down his
fiddle and began to play low and plant
lively. In short while huge rattle
snake appeared upon the hearth, then
another and another, until no less than
seven wriggling serpents were in sight.
The hunters were terribly alarmed, but
De Noyo bade them be quiet and watch.
The snakes seemed filed with the wild.

soft, they would move in graceful curves
like the mazes Of the waltz; if it was
loud and quick, their movements were
quick. At all times they kept the most
perfect time. II the music ceased, they
would rush from sight, but would re-
turn Immediately upon its resumption.
