Need of Water Drinking.

A well-known nerve specialist has said
that "all neurasthenics (that is, people
with unhealthy perves) have desiccated
nerves and suffer from an insuficiency of
fluid in the tissues of the body" 1t is
probable, says the Youths Companion,
that we all in more or less degree, even
when not conscious OF any definite symp-
soms, are suffering in some part Of our
system for the lack of enough fluid, and
especially of enough pure, cool water.
We know that SO nicely is the human
body adjusted and adapted to its uses
that one part cannot suffer without all
suffering. If the nerves are desiccated, or
dried through lack of fluid, then it is Ger
tain that other tissues are also suffering
from the same lack, and that the Wheels
of the wonderful machinery are being
Clogged by reason OF waste matter which
is rot washed away.
We see by this that water does for US
three-fod service. 1t feeds. it washes,
and it carries away the cnders OF the body
furnace; and through the want OF it we are
exposed to many and great dangers. The
tissues become to dry, the blood is thick
and its flow sluggish, and the retained
waste OF the body sets up condition
which the doctors call "autointoxication. :"
or elf-poisonug. This condition may
give rise TO almost any known symptoms,
from pimple to heart failure, and is real
ly responsible for most OF the sem-invalids
with whom the world is largely peoped.
To obtain the best results from water
drinking certain rules should be observed.
People do pot all need the same amount,
and it may take little experimenting to
find out just how much should be- taken
in individual cases 1t has been stated
by some physicians that five or six pInts
should be taken during the 20 hours. OF
this only a moderate quantity should be
taken with the meals. 1t is mistake to
take no water with a meal, but it is per
haps greater mistake to wash food down
with water, especially with ice water.
The best time for water drinking is
at night and early in the morning. 1t is
we'll TO form the habit of slowly slipping,
during the bath and while dressing. two
or three glasses of cool not ice cold -
water Two or three more may be slipped
at bedtime and two or three glasses an
hour before luncheon and before dinner.
In very short time the value of this
habit will become apparent in the result
ant general improvement in digestion,
temper and appearance.

At Camp Garry.

loose from Dead river and started to

found the water running down the log

was built In the center of one OF the
most dismal swamps yet discovered, BY

most exhausted, he arrived at camp, tx
pecting to find warm fire and shelter
from the pouring storm. Instead he
found the -four barrel on the table, and
most Of the camp kit floating around on
he floor. which was covered with water
a foot deep. Mrs. Spaulding and the
children had taken refuge in the top
hunks, and were expecting every miRute
To have to 60 higher for safety, and to
make matters worse 1t was not only wet
under foot, but the force of the storm
had broken through the tarred paper
that the camp was covered with, making
things just bit dlsagreeable.
Without any dinner and very little
supper, they huddled up in one corner
ill morning. Meanwhile it had stopped
raining and the water had gone down in
camp, so they managed to build a much
needed fire and get some breakfast,
which was keenly relished by all. Mr..
Spauldng, at this writing, is used up
with severe attack of rheumatism,
caused by being so long in the cold
water.

The Forest Reserves of the
United States,

The National Forest Reserves OF the
United States now cover an area OF nearly
AZ million acres, the first reserve that OF
/ 200, 900 acres in the Yellowstone
National Park being set aside by execu-
tive decree in 1897 These reserves do not
preclude the cutting of the timber upon
them but insure its scientific management
so that it is harvested with vies to fut-
ure cuttings and what is most important,
that the tracts be kept intact as wood
lands All the Forest Reserves are Sit
ualed In mountain regions and on great
watersheds where, by their covering and
protection Of the soil, they act as natural
storage reservoirs regulating the flow of
the streams which rise among them aud
to large extent preventing violent and
disastrous ffeshetS.
With the exception Of the Black Hills
Reservation of G2II $50 acres, establish
ed in 1897 all the forest reserves in the
country are west OF the Rocky Mountains.
where water Ter irrigation is most needed
and its protection absolutely necessary.
More of the reserves ale in California
than any other state, nearly al OF the
California reserves being created At the
request OF the people Of that state, who
had before their eys many examples OF the
evil effects OF forest denudaton in the
Sierras.
One of the secondary but important
effects of these forest upon the watersheds
is their hltering action, by which the
amount of sediment which would other
wise be washed into the streams is held
from them In these days OF large stor-
age reservoirs which must more and more
become the feature of successful irrigation
enterprises, freedom from silt and Sedi-
ment in the streams is of the utmost i'm
portance, as has been repeatedly shown in
in Investigations OF the Geological Survey
1t is impossible to foresee, much less to
estimate, the national development,
especially through agriculture and irrlga-
ton, which these forest reserves will AS
sist in bringing about. or TO calculate The
great increase in population, property val
ues aud business activities destined in
time TO result from them.

The Actual Facts.

Lincoln, the WashinRto correspon-
dent of the conservative Boston Tran
script, has the following account of the
interview between Gen. Miles and Presi-
dent Roosevelt of which much has been
written:
So many ridiculous exaggerations
have crept into print and club CONVERSE
ton regarding the interview in which
the President is said to have rebuked
General Miles in the presence OF room
full of visitors that it is just as we'll that
the actual facts should be set before the
public.
General Miles visited the White House
on Saturday afternoon, evidently with a
view of heading off, by personal appeal
TO the President, his impending repri-
mand. He was ushered into the ante
room, where number of other visitors
were gathered, including senators, repre-
sentatives and executive officers OF the
Government. When the President enter
ed and began making his rounds, as
usual, he swept with his eye the group
Oh men present., duu as miles duNahScu
toward him, waved his hand toward the
door of the cabinet room and said "ln
moment, general; | will see you In
there"
Ordinary visitors accept this as COM
plment, it being the Presidents habit to
direct them toward the cabinet room II
he wishes to see them In private, and
there was nothing in his manner toward
the general to indicate that he was not
as we'll pleased with the latter's visit as
with any of the others of the afternoon.
Ignoring the suggestion, however, the
general pushed himself forward and IN.
sisted on OBTAINING the President and
having his interview then and there. 1t
WAS obviously annoying to the President
hut with no indication of Impotence he
led the general aside and they had few
whispered words, which appeared to be
argument, and in the course OF which
both voices grew louder and more dis
tnct. The discussion ended with an ex-
preston of dissatisfaction from the
President with the generals errand and
declaration that he wishes to hear no
more of it, This is assumed to have ap-
piled to the Schley controversy, which
the President is bound to choke off with
out mercy as far as concerns the services
directly under his command.

They were inscribed with n picture Of
the cigar, and below were the words;

market, and two for five Is its price.
THAT at least, Is what | thought
was the meaning of the Chinese char

Old Names In London.

If London street names are not al
ways what they seem, the names of the
great parishes usually are. Take Lam
beth, for instance. That vast district
has retained its name practically unal-
tered since the days of Edward the
Confessor who granted a charter In
which it is styled Lambehith. Some
illiterate scribe, who helped in the max
ing of "Domesday," did, indeed, make
an effort to obllterate its real name by
calling 1t Lanchei, but his efforts were,
fortunately, In vain. William Rufus
in another charter named 1t Lambeth,
since when it has kept its title unsul-
lied.
In the old days Lambehith from
hithe, haven) was the great river port
whence agricultural produce was fer
ried across the Thames to the more
populous country opposite. There are
still many "hithes" left us, such az
Queenhithe and Rotherhithe, and. al
though their original functions have
gone, there still remains n shadow to
remind us of their departed glory
