What We Should Drink.

We should drink from One-third to
two-tifths as many ounces as We weigh
in pounds. says Professor Allen in the
Journal of Hygiene. Therefore, for
man weighing 16S pounds would be re-
quired from fifty"siX to siXty-four
ounces daily, or from one and one-half
to four pints. This we regard as very
indefinite answer. The amount Of
water required depends on the season
of the year, the amount of work done,
and the kind Of food eaten. In hot
weather we require more than in cold,
because of the greater loss through the
skin. though this IS in part made up by
the lesser amount passed away through
the kidneys If man labors very hard
he requires more than if his labor is
light; man working in a foundry
where the temperature is high and the
perspiration prOfuse not infrequently
drinks three or four gallons daily.
If the food is stimulating and SALTY,
more water is required than If it is not
Vegetarians and those who use much
fruit require less water than those who
eat sailed fish and pork, and often get
along with none except what is in their
food.
In most cases our instincts tell us
how much water to drink far better
than any hard or fixed rule For ages
they have been acquiring a knowledge
of how much to drink and transmitting
that knowledge to descendants, and if
we follow them we shall not go far out
OF the way. 1t is of more use to us to
know that pure water is essential and
that impure water is one of the most
dangerous of drinks, than to know how
much of it is required daily.
If one lives in a region where the
water Is bad 1t should be boiled and
put away in bottles, we'll corked. in an
ice-chest, and, in addition, one should
eat all the fruit he can, if fruit agrees.
Fruits contain not only pure water.
but salts which are needed to carrying
on BEAUTIFULLY the functions of life.

Folly of Military STATS.

AS the various Governs rode by on
horseback in the Grant memorial day
parade, each in plain dress, but at
tended by brilliant military staff. the
question was natural, what is the use
of all that Why should the eA-
ccutivcs of States Of the union be or
ganiZed on the basis of sOnorous tiles
and gay uniforms? The national eX-
ecutiye is simplicity itself in its DEM
ocratic npretentiousness. The eX-
ecutivcs Of the great American mum
icinaIitics present themselves before the
pubic with the dignity of quiet re-
ticence. Our State Governors alone in
American public life swing out with a
parade of unrealities. If the Governor
of a State were first of all a military
officer, if the States were primarily
armed camps instead of citizens in
business. then the military staff would
have a reaSona bleness. AS it is, this
prancing and betitled staff is both ir-
rationa! and absurd. The efficiency Of
these assistants of the Governor would
be as great without uniforms and I'M
meaning titles. The dignity of the
State executive needs no bracing of a
foolish imitation of foreign court to
make it respected by the people. The
creation of fake generals" and col
onels" by a Governors pen, hundreds
of them year, Is rightly eXasperating
to the honored men to whom those
titles belong by service and devotion.
II
pan, Prince Yamagata, when he visited
us a year ago, found these imitation
colonies and generals who welcomed
him Cor the State in their brave uni
forms very amusing. They had never
smelled powder; most of them had not
even served anachroniSms. Glitter
does no harm, bnt such unreality as the
military staff is out of place in this
day.-Illustrated American.

Laws Applicable to Alaska.

To set at rest misunderstanding and
contentious as to what laws are appli-
cable in Alaska, so far as land laws
are concerned, Commissioner Hermann,
of the general land office, has made
statement in which he says these laws
are applicable.
First-The mineral land laws of the
United States.
Second-Townsite laws which provide
for acquiring title from the government
to townsite trustees.
Third-The law providing for trade
and manufacture giving each person 100
acres of land in compact form.
Coal land regulations are distinct from
mineral regulations or laws, and the
jurisdiction of neither coal laws nor pub
lie land laws extends to Alaska, the
territory being expressly excluded by the
laws themselves from their operations.
The Boundary Line.
Nothing can be done more than has
been already done toward marking
the boundary line between Alaska and
the British possessions along the l4lst
meridian until the senate has passed
upon the boundary treaty now before
it. There is, however, no doubt of the
location of the line along this meridian,
as the people in the locality know
where it is. The work of demarcation
will be superintendent by General Duf-
field in charge of the geodetic survey
on behalf of the United States. He eN-
presses the opinion that railroad can
easily be constructed from Taku inlet t2
the Klondike gold fields and believes The
enterprise is well worth undertaking.
Convoy for the Portland.
Captain Shoemaker, of the revenue
cutter service, recently received from 7.
B. Weare, president of the North Amer'-
can Transportation Company, letter
stating that the steamer Portland, with
a huge amount of treasure, is expected to
leave st. NIichael's, Alaska, for Seattle,
Wash, between September 30 and Octo-
Der /, and asking that she be conveyed
between st. NIichaels and Unalaska.
Captain Hooper, in command of the
revenue cutter patrol fleet, has been dl-
rected to assign the Bear to this duty.

"FLIEs" ON VESSELS.
Not the Little Insect, but weather
Vane TO Aid in Steering.

Not the Little Insect, but n weather
Vane to Aid in Steering.
There IS much curious sea lore In an
article hy Gustav Kobbe ON steering
without a Compass" in st. Nicholas.
Mr.. Kobbe says:
The ely" at the masthead Is often
used as a sign to steer by. 1t reyolves
ON a pivot, and hence, like weather
vane, shows the direction from Whlch
the wind is blowing; whereas flag at
tached to halyard streams directly
astern, or at an angle more or less al
fected by the speed and course OF the
vessel. A glance at the ny having
shown the winds directio glance at
the pinnacle shows from what point OF
the COMPASS it comes. Then, by watch
ing tho fly, and thus keeping the snip
always at the same angle to the wind,
you are able to keep her ON her course.
The ships of different nations have
distinctive flies. The American and the
English fly is a little triangular PEN
non. German ships often have small
tapering bag at the masthead, and
French vessels dog vane"-a lime OF
corks with colored feathers on a wire.
The steamers of the French Lime from
New York to Havre have dog-vane at
each masthead--it is one Of their dis
tingnishing marks.
Steering by the fly Is one way Of
steering by the wind, but there are
other tricks for finding the wind-polnt.
A sailor can find the point Of stiff
breeze by simply letting it blow
against his face. In light air, al
most calm he lifts his cap and turns
his head until he feels the cool breath
on his moist brow, which is far more
sensitive than his sun-tanned face; or
he moistens the edge of his hand, and
turning it toward the wind, waves 1t
gently back and forth and to and fro
until the GOODNESS of the air is felt on
one side of that narrow surface and
not on the other In heavier airs he
will moisten the palm of the hand and
hold it tat to the wind. The wind
point being found, the ship is sailed as
close to the wind as possible, the
helmsman keeping his eye ON the sail
leech. The last CULVER, and turn of
the wheel keeps her off enough to fill
her sails; but with an experienced hand
on the wheel there will be no culver
along the leech. For an "a. b." can
tell by the feel" Of the helm when the
ship is about to come up into the
wind; as vessel comes up" the strain
on the rUdder is lessened, and by quick
ly checking her he keeps the sails rap
full and asleep"-keeps them from
Ouivering-and holds her on her course
without so much as glance at the
compass.

THEY ARE FORCED TO RETURN.
LxlondiIkers Who Lack Provisions
Are Turned Back.

Tacoma. Wash, Aug 3.-The steamer
Oueen. which arrived from Alaska yester-
day. brought word that the mounted po-
lice of the Northwest Territory are meet
ing all people bound for the Yukon count
try at the British line, beyond White and
Dyea passes and compelling all who have
not years supply of provisions to return
to the coast But few of the fortune
seekers who left Tacoma and the sound
within the last few weeks for Dyea or
Skaguaway had crossed the passes into
the interior when the Queen left Dyea,
July %. The first pack over White pass
was expected back at Skaguaway the day
the Queen sailed from there.
Rev. Alfred Hummer of Oakland,
Cal, went ashore at Skaguaway and
reports he was told by the men there
that it would cost $500 to have their
supplies, weighing 1000 pounds, carried
over the pass. Mr.. Hummer and Cap
tain Carroll of the steamer warn every
one not to attempt to enter the Yukon
country before next spring. The cap
tain says not even those who are now
at Skaguaway or Dyea will be able to
reach the interior this winter because
supplies can not be gotten over the
passes. Indians are hard at work pack
ing. All the horses available are pressed
into service Men can pack, they say,
but - pounds one way, and the round

The Pearls of St. Francis.
Atlanta. Ga.

From accounts printed in TIE TINES, and recent dispatches from Arkansas to the Memphis, St. Louis and other daily papers, anent pearl fishing in the lakes near Bald Knob. and iu ,he river near Clarendon, the interest of many people, and especially of those who seek Il short cut to mag nitieent fortunes, has been aroused in this section, and, as St. Francis has always claimed the distinction of being able to produce anything i'll perfection that her sister counties can produce, we are not surprised that some of our citizens have already been hunting the precious pearls, which no doubt abound in the St. Francis and L'Anguille rivers and the numerous lakes which are within her borders.
 Just what success has been met with. we are uot able to determine, owing to the reticence of the hunters, but we can say positively that a Mr. Dunavant and his partner, name unknown, and both strangers to Us, were in town Sat urday with dozen or so of pearls which had been found in St. Francis river. The specimens shown were small, and pronounced of little or no Value by MT. $. Brady, the jeweler, on ac :ount of their small size and shape lessness. We did not learn whether CT not NIT. DunavaDt and his partner had discovered other or larger pearls, but II not HOW, perhaps further hunt Ing will reward them. We see no req son why, if pearls abound in Claren- don and Bald Knob waters, they should not be plentiful in the Forrest City region and We are thinking seriously oi Jolnlng the fortune hunters.
