Our Need of Water.

Psychologists tell us that the ami
NAL body consists of almost eighty
0er cent. of water. Admitting this TO
be true, 1t would seem plausible that
this quantity is necessary in order to
carry on the normal physiological
processes of the animal economy in
proper condition. For similar rea-
sons it would also appear plausible
that should this quantity in any way
be greatly reduced or diminished.
either through normal processes OF
ne body or through abnormal pro-
csses, this lost quantity must imme-
liately be re-supplied. Should such
a withdrawal OF water be permitted
10 lie unduly prolonged the disorders
will assume such grave dimensions
that life itself may ultimately be
terminated. Elasticity and pliability
of muscles, nerves. cartilage, tendons
and even bones depend mainly on the
amount of water they contain. Water
also serves as a distributor OF bodily
heat and regulates the body temper
ature by the physical process OF alb
sorption and elimination. Under nor
NAL conditions and in a proper de-
gree OF health this supply is ordin-
arily furnished partly by the food
and partly by the drink We are daily
consuming. An ovcr-indulgence in
the use OF water-provided 1t is not
carried to excess--will seldom. II
ever. be productive of any deleterious
conseluences.--Me Medical Record.

The director of the Alcazar d'Au-

said:
Take care, mademoiselle. That
man holds each night in his hands
your life"
Arabelle laughingly replied, as she
raised those beautiful shoulders:
"He kill me? No. He gets too
much gold from my head to ever
think of spelling 1t"
Each night she stood before the
pistols muzzle with the same calm
tranquility, her soft glances calming
the revolt of her lover as the eye of
the master subdues the rage of the
animal.
One evening, scarcely eight days
after the arrival of Ventura at Paris,
gentleman of elegant appearance
entered the green room and went
toward Arabelle, who, with a slight
cry of mingled surprise and pleasure,
seized the extended hand and kissed
1t passionately. Guido Ventura, who
had been conversing with the direc-
tor, turned ebout upon the entrance
of the stranger and witnessed this
tender reception. His face assumed
a deathlilIe pallor, and his eyes
flashed with fearful rage.

surroundings. 1t will never be done
If you spend your time lamenting old
ways instead of adapting yourself to
new ones.
The girl who is adaptable will
never criticise the customs of the
place that is to be her home. She
will not announce, 1--WE did so and
so in Blanktown." "How queer we
never had such bridge rule at
home!" She may disapprove and feel
she can improve as much as she likes,
provided she keeps it to herself.
The adaptable girl does not force
her opinions, obtrude her wishes, or
become regulator. She does not
groan over past luxuries when fortune
takes wing, nor be ever anxious for
something that is not at hand.
She may not like circumstances
but she makes the best of them. So
doing. she finds them not half so bad
as pictured.
1t is well not to be too adaptable.
Where this trait is merged into yield
ing a point of conscience, because
others see no harm, to become a
nonentity with a mind that wabbles
toward the last person, it is not to be
desired. Better be a "stand-outer"
than "standpatter" under such con-
ditions.-New York Times.

scent is so faint as not to be disagree

as great as from more expensive COL
