WHY THE BODY NEEDS WATER
It Ts Necessary to Dissolve the Food
 and Carry or Worn-Out Material.

Some one has asked: What would be the cause of death of person who frank no water?" This subject has 1een studied considerably; animals ave been experimented upon, and 1t is ound that without water they lose their over to eliminate the natural poisons; ley must have water in order to elim- late them, otherwise the secretiong be- ome too dense. says Good House coping. We need water, not only od dissolve the food and carry 1t long, but we need 1t to dissolve and arry out of the system the poisonous }nd worn-out material of the body, after has served it's purpose. Water forms l circulating medium for carrying sub- stances back and forth in the system, conveying nourishment to the various parts of the body, bringing back the used-up material and carrying 1t out by way of the excretory ducts.
 The amount of water daily required is from two to three pints. In very hot weather g larger amount is needed, as much water is lost by precipitation. If one,s diet consists largely of the juices of fruits, the quantity of water may be considerably diminished.

PRETTY FAIR FIDDLER.
Anecdote Illustrative of the Lack OA Knowledge of Music Among
 Americans.

T seriously doubt whether America will ever become great music-loving country" said a well-known local musician to Washington Post re- porter. 'for musical events here are not well patsonized, except those of which some celebr ated artist $ the feature, which leads me to douat whether the public goes to hear great music so much as to see and hear great musician. Now, this may come from an over-ref1ned taste, which prevents enjoyment of any, thing but the very best, which is notice able in tue fact that in social life, while he or she who merely sings or plays is tolerated and listened to patronizingly. there seems to be no real enjoyment of the effort made The German is the genuine music lover. who enjoys music fairly rendered, and, though no one ap- preciates more greatly the great artist, he does not demand greatness or nOth- ing. But in his own country, and meas urably here in his saengerbunds, he listens to his music under conditions which permit him to enjoy creature comforts atS Sthe same time. He takes his frau and kinder to the music hall or beer garden, where, seated around 8 table, they sip their beer, eat German lunches, and paterfamiliaes puffs his pipe, drinking in the strains of music at the same time, each form of enjoy- ment the complement of the others. Of course, this is not possible among what we customarily call our better class. which is not in the habit of eating and drinking in public. An incident bear Ing out partly my theory that it is 8 great musician and not the great music which is demanded occurred when Kubelik was here year or two ago. On my way to the concert met a friend who affects musical tastes, but as g business man does not keep in touch with musical events, and he had over- looked the rather modest announcement of Kubelik's concert.
 "Come with me- said I; T am going to hear some good music
 !. 'Where?' he asked

 "'Oh, a young violinist,' said I, and seeing that he was not aware of Kube- lik's arrival concluded not to enlight- en him, but to get his unbiased judg ment.
 "A little persuasion succeeded, and we were soon seated and listening to the young artists marvellous music. had purposely neglected to get 8 programme, and, remarking my apparent forgetful- ness, said knew the numbers anyway. My friend listened patiently, not per haps, enjoying it. so much himself, as sympathizing with my enthusiasm, and after it was over and as we walked down the street he said:
 He's pretty fair fiddler-not an artist, but good f1ddler-scarcely in teresting to one who has heard Ole Bull, Vieuxtemps, Wilhelmj, Remenyi and Isaye. suppose you know him and feel interested in him, and he does play we'll for a boy. but he does not measure up Now, when Kubelik comes

all the customary questions asked By the judge the couple, through the interpre- ter, made the proper answers.
 During all this time the other couple appeared to be too much expressed with each other to notice what was going on, but as the judge handed the young man the marriage certificate the elder wo- man suddenly darted forward and snatched the paper from his hand. For moment she stood comparing the pa- per with the one given her by the judge little earlier. Then she began talking rapidly to the young couple in her na- tive tongue. For a moment they stood as though stunned. Then all began talk ing and gesticulating wildly with their hands. The babel of voices grew deaf ening and finally the judge, almost over come by the din. shrieked into the ear of the interpreter. Here, for heaven's sake stop that noise. What are they shouting abott?"
 'sWhy,'' stammered the interpreter, ''theySsay they didn't want to get mar ried,"
 Didn't want to get married?" The judges voice rose with each word in as- tonishment
 NO. they say they didn't want to get married. At least not now. They were going to wait and be married by priest They thought that you were only making out the license.'
 The surprise groom here advanced, the certificate in his hand, the other man and two women bringing up in the rear. ''No marrich, no marrich," he shouted. extending the paper to the judge.
 "They want you. to unite the knot" :" explained the interpreter.
 After considerable difficulty the judge made the couple understand that this was impossible and the marriage would havest to stand. The couple finally de- cided to make the best of 1t, however, and left the office. As the four descended thescourthouse steps they were still talk. ing and gesticulating.

 The appearance of an American flag on the roof of KIaw 6 Erlanger's New Amsterdam Theater last week, marked the placing in position of the highest piece of iron work in the struc- ture, which is really two theaters, one on top of the other. The force of men has been increased to 1,4OO and the progress made each day is prodigious. Work is being concentrated on the lower theater, or the New Amsterdam the opening of which will be compara- lively but little delayed. The upper theater will be given distinctive name. The magnitude of this sunder- taking can be judged from the cubic contents of the two theaters which is given as 2,3JO,000 cubic feet The structure will tower about 190 feet above the sidewalk line when com pleted. It contains one of the largest single pieces of iron ever put into any structure in the world-the main gir- der and support of the roof theater, which is 90 feet in length, IA feet in height and weighs 70 tons. It is so large and heavy that it could not be handled in one piece and had to be as- sembled on bridge structure of the height at which it rests. Three tons of rivets, each welded while red hot, were used in putting it together. There
