Why the Body Needs Water.

Someone has asked: What would be
the cause of death Of person who
drank no water?" This subject has
been studied considerably; animals
have been experimental upon, and
it is found that without water they
lose their power to eliminate the nat.
ural poisons; they must have water in
order to eliminate them, otherwise
the secretions become too dense,
Without water the amount of urea
which should be secreted becomes dt
minished and so with the other Sc
cretions. We need water, not only to
dissolve the food and carry it along,
but we need it to dissolve and carry
out of the system the poisonous and
worn-out material of the body, after II
has served its purpose. Water forms
a circulating medium for carrying sub.
stances back and forth in the sys
ten. conveying nourishment to the
various parts OF the body, bringing
back the used-up material and carry.
ing it out by way of excretory ducts
The amount OF water daily required
is from two to three pints. In very
hot weather n larger amount is need.
ed, as much water is lost by perspira.
tion. II ones diet consists largely OF
the Juices of fruits. the quantity of
water may be considerably diminished.

Stable and Conditions.

"The condition and health Of a
horse" says the National Builder, de
pend very much upon the kind of
stable it is kept in. There are horses
which suffer from disease of the eyes,
from coughs, from scratches and
other skin diseases. all of which are
produced by the pungent, foul air in
the stables. Farmers and others who
have horses will take pains to keep
their carriages and harnesses protect
ed from the strong ammonical air of
the stables, lest the leather may be
rotted or the varnish dulled and spot
ted; and at the same time they will
wonder why their horses cough, or
have weak eyes or mOon-blindness, or
suffer from other diseases which, if
they would only think for a few min-
utes they would readily perceive are
due to the foul air the animals are
compelled to breathe every night in
the year while confined in close badly
ventilated stables. The remedy is
very easy The stable should be kept
clean; this will prevent the greater
part of the mischief. and it should be
well ventilated. The floor should be

A WAR EPISODE.

I cannot vouch for the truth Of the

by one who professed to have wit

In one of the fiercest battles fought
by the Army of Tennessee. a Tennessee
regiment which had won renown on
many bloody fields and had never re
coiled except before a fire which the
staunchest veterans would consider Il
valid excuse for such conduct. found
itself in situation which fully jusIi-
fed in the opinion of both officers and
men, 'retrograde movement
Suddenly, while driving a Yankee
line before it, it came upon a half dozen
batteries, which opened at shcrt range
with grape, while three or four other
Federal regiments rose up on its ilanks
and poured in a ''bliZZard.' The Ten

nearly half their number dead and

but not apprised of the nature of the

'Make way there and let Mississippi

A way was promptly made. and the
brave boys from "Old Jeff's" State
rushed in with their usual ardor, and
the confidence begotten of repeated vic
tories. But when they reached the spot
where the Tcnnesseeans had received
the destructive volleys, a similar greet
ing was given them. Earth and air
seemed lighted with the fame and
resonant with the roar of the Internal
regions, and they reeled back as their
predecessors had done.
Seeing them return. the Tennesseeans
rose and yelled: Make way here and
