Mr. HarTity has not been In sympathy with the
Of the party Of late. but instead OF getting
out of the way and letting some man who was in
sympathy with them take his place. he has followed
the example OF some in other States and stayed where
he was not wanted. 30 ~ to bo OF use, no doubt. to
those who arc against the party and its principles.

termined TO get rid of Q man who is only . hindrAnos

Folly of MilitnrY STATS.

AS the various Governors rode by OF
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 usa
of nil that? Why should the eN
ccutivcs of States of the union be or
ganlZtd en- the basis of sonorous tile,
and gay uniforms? The national eN
ecutlve is simplicity Itself in its dem
ocratlc nprctcntiousneSs. The e&
ecutlyes Of the great American mum
icIpallties present themselves before thu
pubic with the dignity Of quiet re
tEcemce. Our State Governors alone in
American public life swing out with
parade of Ulrealities. If the Governor
of 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 reaSonableness. AS 1t Is, this
pranring and betitled staff Is both In
Tatl0la! and absurd. The efficiency OF
these assistants of the Governor would
be as great without uniforms and un,
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 "cok
onels" by Governors pen. hundred,

titles belong by service and devotion

AVERAGE

From the above figures 1t will be
observed that the Scandinavians head
the list with an average longevity of
51.4 years; next come the English
with so years to their credit, followed
by. the Germans with only 1879 years.
The lowest on the scale is Russia,
whose vitality is credited with only
2s.7 years. The statistician does not
appear to have included America in
his calculations, although it is per.
fectfully fair to assume that the lon
gevity of Americans is equal to that of
Englishmen, adds the Atlanta Con
stitution. Americans have the repu-
tation Of living fast, but this is not al
together deserved. It may be gravely
doubted if any country on the globe
can boast of more conservative citi-
zenship, taking it las whole, than the
United States, and the word conser-
vatism applies as we'll to the social as
it does to the political character of the
people, While climatic conditions to
some extent determine longevity, it is
largely controlled by national charac-
ter and habits. In the light Of these
observations the foregoing table can
not fail to be of interest to our read

What We Should Drink.

We should drink from one-third to
two-ffths as many ounces as we weigh
In pounds, says Professor Allen in the
Journal Of Hygiene. Therefore, for a
man weighing 1GS pounds would be re-
quired from tfty-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 a man labors very hard
he requires more than If his labor. Is
light: a man working in a foundry
where the temperature is high and the
perspirahon profuse not infrequently
drinks three or -four gallons daily.
II 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 q. knowledge
ef-Aow much to drink and transmitting
that knowledge to descendants, and II
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 region where the
water is bad, 1t should be boiled and
put away in bottles, well 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.
