Wheeler has documents which clearly

About the Quantity.
According to Prof. Allen, we should
drink from one-thifd TO tWo-lfths as
many ounces as we weigh In pounus:
Therefore, for a man weighing 100
pounds, there would be required rom
SO to GA ounces daily, or from u ana
a half to four pints. This the Journal
of Hygiene regards as u very INDEFINITE
answer The amount OF water required
depends on the season of the year, the
amount OF work done and the kind oil
food eaten. In hot weather we require
more than in cold, because or the great
err loss through the skin, though this is
In part made up by the lesser amount
passed away through the kidneys. Ii
a man labors very hard he requires
more than If his labor Is light A man
working in a foundry, where the tenn
perature Is high and the Precipitation
profuse, not infrequently drinks three
or four gallons daily. Ii the food Is
stimulating and salty, more water is
required than il Ii is bland. Vegetar1-
ans, and those who use much fruit, re-
auire less water than these 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
mach water TO drink far better than
any hard or fixed rule. For ages they
have been acquiring A knowledge OF
how much water to drink, and trans
hitting that knowledge to descendants,
and if we follow them we shall not get
far out Of the way. IL is Of more use
to rs to know that pure water is essen
tial, and that impure water Is n Of
the most dangerous of drinks, than to
know how much OF II Is required daily.
If one lives in a region where the wa
ter 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 functions of life.-Med.

Zana was mistaken; the end was not
yet. Medical examination revealed the
fact that the bullet had perforated
Somerville's left lung, and. for many
weeks, scant hopes We're entertained OF
his recovery. But, In the end, science,
aided by a vigorous constitution, tri-
umphed. and the wounded man was
pronounced convalescent.
Life Is sweet to all; and Somcrville
hailed his rescue from the jaws of
death with thankfulness-a thankful
ness which was oon marred by the in
formation that m extradltion warrant
had been granted. and that he would
be handed over to the English authori-
ties when sufficiently well to travel to
London, to stand his trial for the will

securities and valuables had, mean
while, been ~lmpounded by the French
