WHAT WE SHOULD DRINK.
Our Instincts Are Usually the Best

Our Instincts Are Usually the Best
Guide.
We should drink from one-third to
two-ffths as many ounces as we weigh
in pounds. declares Prof. Allen In a
medical exchange. Therefore, for
man weighing 16S pounds would be re-
quired from fxty-six to siXtyfour
ounces daily, or from one and one-half
to four pints. This we regard as very
indefinite answer, says the New York
Ledger. 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 great
er 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 foundry where the tenn
pcrature 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 1t is not.
NtStt3TlalS anu InoSe WHO use hutu
fruit liire less water than those who
eat salted 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 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 1t Is required daily.
If one lives In a region where the wat
er 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 carry on
BEAUTIFULLY the functions of life.

ship, looking over at Sir Thomas, and her
beautiful eyes, in which he had seen 80
many moods expressed. were lighted BY
an ominous fash.
Tom met her glance rather sadly. but
was obliged to turn away from 1t and con-
centrate his attention on a walnut and
the nutcra ckers, with which he sought to
occupy himself.
And she tells me-" pursued June. that
you have forbidden her the house."
Tom gave his walnut a sudden crack
which reduced 1t to a jelly, and. throw
ing it aside, he took another.
"She forced me to It," he said, slowly.
"Her behavior has been scandalous; no
one could Dut ND with it."
"Reallyr' uttered June, little red spot
coming into either cheek and her eyes
growing brighter. ''How"
"Howr Here Sir Thomas raised his
voice little. by always dodging and
spying about in the most improper and
impertinent manner"
"Is there any reason" asked June, her
voice growing colder as her temper waxed
warmer, "why she should not come up
hereT
NOT Cne least reaSOu, answered IOH1,
warmly, "if she came up In a straightfor-

"Oh-' uttered June. "And if she came
by my wish?'
"Well, then," said Tom, booking up and
meeting her eyes with a steadiness equal
to her own, ''the sooner we come to an
understanding the better. Perhaps you
will tell me what you suspect me of, and
why you think it necessary to set spy
upon me. Heaven knows you must have
changed, or there must be something very
wrong with your mind, before you can
have come to stoop to such a thing"

Useful Hints.

A clothespin bag made of bedticking OF
something stout, in the form of pocket
with slit on the front side, is much
easier to get at than common bag. y
bedticking apron, with large pocket
across the bottom, is better than either.
A basket exposes the clothespins to dust
and the clothes suffer accordingly.

them on a smooth board and rubbing witt

One day a very pleasant-faced lady

tucked under my arm. ready to send
1t out. / liked this woman very much:
there was something about her which
appealed very strongly to me, and ]

her that 1t was the sweetest and incest
book we had, and that was glad to be
able to give 1t to her. She took 1t from

then tossed 1t carelessly down, saying:

smiled sweetly, and then, choosing a

away. went up to the desk to send
my rejected volume to some one who
did want 1t, when the head librarian
spoke to me:

fairly gasped.
And I have been abusing her be-
cause she wouldn't take her own book
from the library"
Just then l heard a ringing laugh,
and looking down to the front Of the
library, saw the lady to whom had
been reading a lecture on her lack Of
appreciation Of my cherished book, in
close conversation with the proprietor.
Both were laughing, and just as turn
ed. both looked in my direction, and
the proprietor beckoned to me to come
to him. l was presented to Miss Al
colt, who took my hand in hers and
said to me:

nothing but travel about buying them.
Only singers-that is, the males-are
sent to America. On the other hand
only females are marketable in Eng
land. The female canary does not sing.
What in the world the Englishmen
want of them is more than I can i'm
agine. Some canaries sing better than
others. So stack my bird cages up in
big tiers in front Of the windows and
station a man to watch them all day
long. When he hears a good singer he
marks the cage. That bird becomes
more valuable from that time on.
PARROT POPULARITY.
Parrots stand second on the list in
popularity. The gray African parrot
is the rarest and the best, but he is so
delicate that the hardy Cuban parrot
is really the best for this market. We
imported 10000 to $4,000 parrots a year
from Cuba until the war broke out.
When Havana was blockaded last
spring two of our men were in the city
with a shipment of $500 parrots ready
to come north with them. Finding
they could not ship the birds, they sold
them to the Spanish government,
which fed the parrots to the soldiers. A
young parrot makes fine eating
None of the tropical birds in the
market are bred in captivity, but must
all be captured in their native haunts
just before they are fully fledged. For
this purpose we constantly employ par
ties Of men in Africa, Australia, South
America, and Cuba. These men, with
natives to help them, wander far into
the woods in quest of birds. 1t is a
dangerous business. Six of our men
have lost their lives at it, either fall
ing a victim to the deadly fevers of
the jungles or being murdered by the
wild tribes.
Third on the list comes not one va
riety, but a score, classified under the
general name of wild birds These in
clude hooking birds, cardinals and the
European finches. Mocking birds and
cardinals we buy in New Orleans from
the collectors. They come from the
southern states and from Mexico. We
handle in Europe and America 5000
hooking birds and 10000 cardinals a
year.
Fourth and last in my stock come
! the birds of fancy plumage,. such as
the African fnches and paroouets
| The demand for this, beautiful bird
comes almost exclusively from show
men, We handle 200 eockatoos a year
A singular point in the'trade is that
the bird business in America is con-
fined absolutely to a few standard va
rieties. 1t is impossible to introduce a
new bird in the United States. We shir
/ all such to Europe, where people &c
wild over them.
Birds are sold chiefly to working
people. The rich do not seem to care
for them. They prefer to spend money
on high-bred dogs, horses and cats
In Germany five large factories run
the year round turning out wooden
cages in which birds are shipped by the
million. In America five factories are
kept busy making wire cages of ali
sorts"

America.
He is Louis Ruhe, the only whole

pets that go yearly to brighten human
lives with their cheerful music and gay
colors. More than this, Mr.. Ruhe is a
member of the family which practically
monopolizes the bird business of the
world. This family distributes every
year 250,000 birds. OF these, one-half
find a market in America.
This business was founded by Henry
Miller, Ruhe's great great grandfather,
who was born and lived in the little
village of Grunenplan, near Affeld, in
the province of Hanover, Germany, $50
years ago. Means of transportation
were limited in those days, so Henry
Miller used to travel afoot with a huge
crate of little wooden cages, each con-
tanning one bird, on his back. He hired
