The Drink a Man Needs,

An average man requires fifty-nine
ounces of food per diem. He needs
thirty-seven ounces of water for drink
ing, and In breathing he absorbs thirty
ounces of oxygen. He eats as much
water as he drinks, so much of that
fluid being contained in various foods.
In order to supply fuel for running the
body machine and make up for waste
tissue he ought to swallow daily the
equivalent of twenty ounce of bread,
three ounces of potatoes. II ounce of
butter and one quart Of water. The
body is mostly water. The body of a
man weighing la pounds contains
ninety-slx pounds, or f~orty-six quarts,
of water.

Mistook the Mule.

Deacon jackson was a very pious but
very determined old colored citizen of
Owl Greek valley. He had a young
mule which his boys were unable to
ride, and their failure TO break the ami.
NAL so exasperated the old man that he
determined to ride it himself. He was,
however, no enc located on its back
than he was thrown into an adjoining
lot, where he was picked up with both
legs broken and his neck badly sprained.
what on earth did such an old man
as you mean by trying to ride a wild
young mule like that?" asked the doctor.
WAL, sub. said Deacon jackson,

"Well, but he seems to have given
you bad advice. "

Beauty

There are three beauty promenades
In the United States. They are placed
In New York, Washington and Chicago,
and are named Fifth avenue, Connect
cut avenue and Lake Shore Drive. The
women who frequent these display
grounds are markedly different In type.
The New York woman is well built,
long-llmbed, and carries herself well.
She looks straight ahead. She Is grace
full, with a cultivated grace that
smaeks Of Delsarte. Her hands are
large and well formed, as are her feet.
She is narrow-hlpped and ~iat-chested.
She is apt to be blonde or an approach
to a blonde. The woman of Chicago is
stronger than her New York sister. She
has more muscle. She is not SO tall, but
Is broader. Her forehead is not so
high, but she measures more between
the eyes. She is lot so handsome a
woman, but Is more attractive. Her
face is apt to be irregular. The lips,
If not thick, are full. She Is of all types
short, long. blonde, brunette and
bruno.
The Washington girl is a compromise
between the type of the North and the
type of the South. She Is of the woman
womanly. She has peculiar delicate
ness of face and figure. Her form Is
beautifully rounded, yet slender. Hands
and feet are small. The height Is often
er under five feet five than over 1t. The
eyes are apt to be hazel or dark, and
are always bright and tender. The eye
brows are somewhat heavy and strong
~ marked, and the lashes are long.
The complexion is singularly clear. The
face has great regularity of feature and
the average of beauty is high. Wash
ington and New Orleans are the only
American cities in which n may see
the M walk with Spanish grace.
The Washington girl may not class so
high In beauty as the New York woman
or the Chicago woman; but | believe
that most men will prefer her.

Old Alb Drake.

Old Alb Drake was one of the "odd
sticks that fiourished in a Vermont
rural neighborhood a good many years
ago. His wife was n meek, obedient,
spiritless woman, over whom Alb tyran-
nized for 90 years, when she quietly
slipped out of this world. Old Abs
~panegyrics on his dead wife's virtues
were loud and long. Before the funeral
he said to o II of his neighbors: "She
was the best woman on the top of this
earth. | jess thought the world and all
of her-yes, did | always thought it,
and hanged if there want times when
l come mighty near telling her so-yes,

JEWELS.
Precious Stones In Store in Treasur.
Vaults at Washington.

PRECIOUS chOuCb IN OtOFG IN
Vaults at Washington.
At Washington, in the bond vault Of
the treasury. Is a great store of dia-
monds and other precious stones that
belong to nobody. Most of them have
been in the custody OF the officials for
about sixty years, but some of the
gems have been there much longer,
and their history rests mainly on hazy
tradition.
There Is a bottle four or five Inches
long filed with diamonds, there are
various other loose stones, and there
are many set In gold ornaments. The
value Of the whole lot is y~arlously esti-
mated, the computations ranging from
$4,000 TO 100000.
Most of these gems were sent as a
present to President Van Buren, by the
lmaum of Muscat In 1899. This Asian
potentate conceived the Idea that he
had received some service from this
country, and this was his way of ac-
knowledging his obligation. President
Van Buren, could not accept them, for
there Is a clause In the constitution
f%orblddfng any person connected with
the government from accepting any
present or decoration from any foreign
power or ruler.
But the O~riental's present could not
be returned; he would look upon that
as an insult. So at last the jewels were
turned over to the treasury to keep
till something was done about them,
and nothing ever has been done.
In similar ways has the entire col
lection accumulated; Kings and Princes
are frequently not as familiar with the
constitution of the United States as
they should be. and government officers
Of various grades have sent here gifts
they have received, and found 1t In
convenient to return and impossible to
keep.
In the bond vault they must remain

situation.

Very Much In Evidence.

American husbands are renowned all
the world over for their amlability and
at no time Is this quality SO conspicu-
ous as when they accompany their
wives on a shopping tour. They are
obliged to pace up and down between
the double row of swinging doors for a
long time, but the wife never apollo
glzes when she arrives finally. She
merely laughs and says. why, you are
here really, aren't your Then she
tucks him under her arm and watts
him through the doors which lead into
the %glittering shop, leaving the other
men enyious and diseonsolate. The
good-natured American husband Is
very much In evidence at afternoon
meets" says Commercial Advertiser.
One ear tell him by his anxious express
sion, his nervous manner, and the per-
fectly amiable but wlstful peeps he
takes at his watch. He Is tired after
his days work and chilly and hungry,
too, but he can't leave his post of duty.

spot at 3 o'clock, and Maria Is accus

Cheap Lodging Houses.

What the ultimate effect of establish
Ing cheap houses for men In large cities
will be Is u matter for serious thought.
The certainty of cheap and comfort
able living VIII stimulate the already
strong tendency of village and agricul.
tural populations toward the cities. and
what does this mean but more and
more accessions TO the already over
crowded ranks of workers, with the In
eyitable consequence of a lowering of
wages? asks Vogue. New York has nj
ready seen this condition brought
about by the chief Bowery lodging
houses; the drift cityward of all CLASSES
Of workers is now SO swift that the
laborers in the vineyard are too numer-
Gus, and the workers are In eonse-
quence at the mercy of capital. The
problem to be debated is whether the
community and the nation are to b..
benhted by this putting a premium on
life In the city. Many intelligent work
ers along sociological and Industrial
lines condemn the cheap home for mel
on two grounds: That II lowers wages,
and that Ii encourages celibacy. From

Definition ,r Eternity.

Here is a schoolboy's definition OF
eternity: 'When our ships all come in;
when the sea gives up her dead; when
Father Time hangs up his scythe: when
the heavens are rolled up like a scroll:
when the solar system collapses; when
we find the lost Charlie Ross and the
MAI who struck Billy Patterson; when
Johnny gets his gun; when society be-
comes pure; and after the ball Is over
then viii be eternity.'-New Orleans

PROFITS AT MONTE CARLO.
Enormous Income Indicated by tn.
Price of the Franchise.

ETlCG VI inc EEanCntses
One can form some idea of the enor-
nous profits made by the gambling hell
at Monte Carlo by studying the terms
on which the Prince of Monaco has
granted a prolongatlon of the conces-
sion under which this infamous estab.
lishment exists. The present conees-
sion expires In 1913, but the sharehold-
ers think 1t wise to insure q further
concession before that date. The terms,
which were presented and ratified the
other day, are as follows:
The 10000 for the concession, plus
f20,0 allowed for the expenses of the
government Of the principally. are TO
be continued, together with the allow
ances for public works, lighting, main
tenance OF the institutions, etc.
amounting in all to another $4,000 or
ESQ, 900 per annum. In addition, the
Casino Company undertakes to pay
over Immediately TO the Prince In hard
cash the sum of f400 900. and further
to spend 100000 upon public works
in the shape of opening up new ave-
nues and streets in parts of the princi-
pallty, indicated by the Prince; to
spend $4,000 In the construction of a
new theater and opera house, this to be
completed In time for the exhibition of
1900; to hand over to the manager OF
the theater of Monte Carlo Il, 200 for
each performance, this sum to be spent
exclusively in the payment of special
artists, the company to further bear all
the cost of the chorus. orchestra and
scenery. Finally, the company under
takes to pay over to the Prince In cash
100000 In the year 1913, which was
the date of the expiration of the old
contract granted by the late Prince
Charles III.
The Casino Company is therefore
called upon TO find an additional sum
OF f1,2S0,000 without counting the
grant to the manager of the theater) as
the price of the new concession. The
Prince also insists upon having In flu
ture a direct voice In the management
Of the concern. He is to be consulted
in the appointment of both the man
ager and directors of the Casino Com
pany: he Is to have the right to nom
mate the manager OF the theater; TO be
consulted in the engagement of the ar
lists and the chef d'orchestre, and,
most important of all. he Is to have
control OF the publicity" department.
The company spends about f25,00 in
%''squaring'' the continental press and
purchasing its benevolent neutrality in
the matter of gambling. The Prince In
sists upon his right to issue to these
journals which are in the pay of the
concern such notes and paragraphs as
he may think proper.-London Mall.

al luxury that Is scarce In London. Up
TO u short time ago-and probably 1t Is

In New York. This shop was making
a fortune In candy, and was also doing
