American ships Are superior.

The efficiency of American built ships
in the grain trade is shown by the re-
port Of the customs department and other
authoritative records regarding the ex-
port trade of the Pacific coast. From
1892 to 1856, inclusive the performance
of grain laden ships sailing from Cali
fornia, under various flags, was made
an especial study and the result was
built craft.
BY efficiency" in this connection is
meant the number of pounds OF cargo
per net ton of measurement carried by a
vessel each day of her voyage. 1t is OBJ
tanned by dividing the aggregate pounds
per ton delivered by the number of days
consumed on the voyage. Comparisons
covering the period of nearly five years
referred to above show that American
wooden ships in the California grain
trade displayed a superiority over British
wooden craft of / % per cent. in the speed
and ,0j per cent. in efficiency; over
British iron ships. 4 % per cent. in speed
and l56 per cent, in efficiency; over
Norwegian wood l.35 per cent. in speed
and 2.4S per cent. IN efficiency; over
Norwegian iron, 9.l2 per cent. in speed
and 3.O7 per cent. in efficiency; and so
on, the American superiority in each
particular extending also over the vessels
OF Germany, France, Italy, Russia and
Holland. The highest point of super
iority Was that in efficiency over the
wooden Dutchmen-245 80 per cent; the
lowest. that in efficiency over the wooden
ships of Great Britain-10 per cent.
And this last shows into what close quar-.
ters We are brought with our most power
fui and aggressive competitor upon the
seas.

How Much water should We Drink

According to Prof. Allen, says the
Medical Times, we should drink from
one third to two-iifths as many ounces as
We weigh in pounds. Therefore, for a
man weighing los pounds, there would
be required fifty-six to sixty.four ounces
daily, or from one and one-half to four
plnts. This the Journal Of Hygiene re
CARDS as a 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. II man labors very hard
he requires more than if his labor is
light. A man working in foundry
where the temperature is high and the
perspiration proiuse, not inirequentIy
drinks three or four gallons daily. II the
food is stimulating and salty, mo'e water
is required than ii it is bland. Vegetar-
ians and those who use much fruit re-
quire less water than those who eat salt
fish and pork. and often get along on
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 il
one OF the most dangerous Of drinks, than
to know how much of it is required daily.
II one lives in region where the water
is bad, it should be boiled and put away
in bottles well corked in an ice chest and
in addition, one should eat all the fruit
one can, if fruit agrees. Fruits contain
not only pure water, but salts which are
needed to carry on beautifully the func-
tions of life.

vantage which the new tariff bill gives the
trust over the old law, but, on the con-
trary, the difference between raw and re-
fined sugars under the new bill is, as al
ready indicated, y 12 cents per hundred,
while under the Wilson law it is % 1-2
cents per hundred pounds, thus making it
apparent at once that the permanent ''dif-
ferentiar' of difference in tariff rates
which the sugar retiners get under the
new law is far less than that under the
Wilson law.
The sudden jump in sugar stock was due
entirely to the knowledge of the rejection
of the proposition of Secretary Gage to
tax the raw sugar in the country, and if
his recommendation had been accepted by
Congress this sudden rise would never
have occurred.
