DRINKING WATER.
How Much We Should Drink Depend,
Upon circumstances.

According to Professor Allen, says The
Medical Times, we should drink from one
third to two-fifths as many ounces as VT
weigh in pounds. Therefore, for a mai
weighing 1853 pounds there would be re
quired SO to GA ounces daily, or from II
to pints
This The Journal of Hygiene regards
as very indefinite answer. The quantity
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 tht
greater loss through the skin, though this
Is in part made up by the lesser quantity
passed away through the kidneys. If
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 profuse, not in
frequently drinks three or four gallons
daily
If the food be stimulating and salty,
more water is required than il it be bland.
Vegetarians and those who use much fruit
require 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 o
knowledge of how much to drink and
transmitting that knowledge to descend
ants, and If we follow them we shall not
60 far out of the way.
1t is of more use TO us to know that purt
water is essential, and that impure water
is one of the most dangerous of drinks.
than to know how much of 1t is required
daily. If one live In q 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 arr
needed to carry on healthfully the func
tions of life.

Remarkably Close Contest Between the
Rival Teams of the AttleborOs.
The greatest bowling game rolled in this
vicinity for two years took place at North
Attleboro last evening and was witnessed
by about as excited a crowd of rooters as
could be well gotten together. The re-
markable part of the contest was that 1t
was won by one pin. In the State league
two years ago the Elmwood Grays took q
game from the Rhode Island Wheelmen by
q similar score.
The rivalry between the teams is of the
warmest description, and considerable
money changed hands last night at the
conclusion OF the contest, which depend
ed on the rolling of the last men on each
side. The home team and their hackers
celebrated the victory for some time after
the game. Wells was high man with 515,
and was very successful in punching
strikes. The best single string score Of
the game was made by McAvoy, who
rolled up 1876. The score:

Makeup of the New England League Not
Yet Decided Upon.
Just what the circuit of the New Eng
land League will be is doubtful. 1t looks
now like six club organization. Five of
them are already assured, Brockton, Fall
River, New Bedford, Newport and Paw
tucket. All eyes are on Taunton for the
sixth city. II the herring city came in the
league would be- the most compact in ex-
istence and the cities would pair off with
great rivalry between each group. Fall
River and New Bedford, Pawtucket and
Newport, and Brockton and Taunton
would make three good pairs.
Affairs are unsettled in Taunton, how
ever. Pettee, who opened negotiations, is
sick. Mike McDermott has been men
toned as the hustler there, and Fred Doe,
when given free pass from New Bedford,
was advised to try Taunton.
Lowell and Lawrence are also spoken of,
and would make another fighting pair.
Mike Bradley, the old player and umpire,
halls from Lawrence, and is looking up
the city. Both sides may come in and
then the league would be of eight clubs
without losing its compactness.

reputation among us, is highly priced as

Sugar, which we class among the indis
pensables, was wholly unknown among
the ancient nations, and for that reason
they used honey as we use sugar. Honey
was therefore very important article OF
diet. Salt was formerly entirely produced
by evaporation of sea water. If the entire
ocean were dried up, 1t would yield no less
than 4, 4l9, 800 cubic miles of rock salt, OF
about 14H times the entire bulk of Europe

The Grays and the Fall Rivers had a

hard to tell who would win out. Five
times the score was tied and each side
lost a goal on fouls. Pierce was very fast
and lskated all around the "Big Injin."
Null Smith was in an aggressive mood
and did not seem to fear the drives from
Cotter's stick. He also did some dirty
playing and in the latter part of the game
ran Connell down and when John regained
his feet he struck Null in the neck, and
an exciting time was about to commence
when the referee blew his whistle and
acted promptly by stepping Ia between
the men and after fining each ordered
them of the floor.
The captains got together and agreed
that it would spoil the game, as Cotter
had no extra man with him and it would
have been an uninteresting contest-fve
men against four. Some Of the spectators
were willing to come on the foor and fight
the matter out for Null regardless OF the
fact that he was clearly in the wrong. The
work of the centres and half backs was
strong on both sides, and the work of
Sword was of the sensational order. The
