Water at Meals.

There is a widespread idea that the
habit of imbibing water or any other
fluid as food is harmful believe it to
be based on erroneous physiologic con-
clusions and promulgated more by ira
dition tran by painstaking observa-
ton, although copious draughts of Ice
water gulped down during fatigue or
profuse perspiration are both unhy-
gienic and dangerous. l enlisted the
aid of sixteen young men of good ply
sique and good digestion, each one ac-
customed to drinking one or two glass;
es of water with his meals. Eight OF
these young men were instructed to
drink no water with meals and only
what was demanded to satisfy thirst
between meals for a week. The other
eight were instructed to drink four
glasses of water with each meal and
between meals to drink 1t as was de-
sired. OF the eight who drank no
water, all lost in weight from eight
ounces to two pounds, with one eXcep-

same weight as before. Each one COM

constipation. The eight who drank
four glasses at a meal Jared much bet

ounces to two and one-quarter pounds,

MYSTERIOUS MEKRAN.
A DesoIated Land, Desiccated by Ma
ture and Stunned by Man.

"A mysterious veil has always hung
over the land of Mekran," says the
London Times. "Mekran is the name
given to the long coastal region
stretching almost from the Indus to
the entrance to the Persian gulf. Sail
ors have coasted along its white
shores from time immemorial but
few in modern days have ever pene-
trated the ranges of hills which lie
beyond. The greater part Of Mekran
is desolate and forsaken. a land desic-
Gated by nature and Stunned by man.
The few tribes which linger there are
the jetsam of history. stray wreckage
which has drifted into this obscure
corner of the world in the backwash
of great events 1t is even believed
that the Dravidians passed through
Mekran on their way to southern
India and left stragglers, whose de-
scendants have dwelt there ever since.
There are patches of Mongols from
the days of Jenghiz Khan; colonels
of half breed Arabs from the time
when an Arab dynasty held Sind; un-
mistakable Rajputs. who were there
before Alexander; African negroes,
the offshoots of medieval slavery,
and traces of still older peoples
whose origins are lost in the mists of
time.
yet Mekran cannot always have
been either dry or so deserted.
Many of it's hills are closely covered
with little stone houses, mostly square
at the base, narrowing upward like
truncated pyramids. and with dome
shaped interiors They are tombs.
and among the rubbish found within
them are fragments of light green
pottery of fine quality. which no one
seems able to identify. Then there
are vast masonry dams, obviously
built to catch the water in the hills,
just as engineers are making dams i'm
the Indian ghautS today.
sometimes the hills are terraced
for cultivation, after the fashion of
hills in southern Japan and else
where, only i'm Mekran the terraces
are dry and bare, and not even a
blade of grass remains. The crumb-
ling ruins of whole cities, the very
names of which are forgotten, lie
concealed between the Serrated
ridges"

was his boast that he had been unan-
| imously chosen a member.
Owing to Fitzgerald's well known
duelng propensities no first class Lon
don club would admit him. Never
theless he got Admiral Keith Stewart.
who knew that he must fight FitZ-
gerald or comply, to propose him for
| Brooks.
Accordingly the duelist went with
the admiral on the day of the election
to the clubhouse and waited down.
stairs while the ballot was in progress.
The result, a foregone conclusion,
was unfavorable to the candidate, not
even one white ball being among the
black, the admiral having been among
the first to deposit his. Mr.. Brooks
eventually went to tell Fitzgerald, who
was waiting in the hall, that there
was one black ball and that therefore
his candidature had failed.
| Thrusting aside Brooks, who pro-
tested that nom members might not en-
ter the clubrooms, Fitzgerald flew up
stairs and entered the room. Walk
ing up to the fireplace, he thus ad-
dressed Admiral Stewart.
$50, my dear admiral, Mr.. Brooks in
forms me that l have been elected
three times"
You have been balloted for, Mr..
Fitzgerald but l am sorry to say you
have not been chosen" said Stewart.
well, then," replied the duelist, did
you blackball me?"
my good sir" answered the admiral,
how could you suppose such thing?'
| "Oh, I suppose no such thing, my
dear fellow. I only want to know who
it was that dropped the black ball in
by accident, as it were"
Fitzgerald now went up to each in
dividual member and put the same
question to all in turn, Did you black
ball me, sir?" until he made the round
of the whole club, and in each case he
received a reply similar to that of the
admiral.
| when he had finished his investiga-
tions he thus addressed the whole
body: You see, gentlemen, that as
none of you have blackballed me,
must be elected. 1t is Mr.. Brooks who
has made the mistake"
| After this nothing more was said by
the members, who determined to ignore
the presence of their dangerous visitor
who drank three bottles Of cham
pagne in enforced silence, for no one
would answer him when he spoke.
When he had gone it was agreed
that half a dozen stout constables
should be in waiting the next evening
he attempted again to intrude, but Mr.
Fitzgerald, aware probably Of the re-
ception he might get, never did"
Apropos of blackballing, Mr.. Nevill
mentions the greatest instance OF
blackballing probably ever known,
which took place some years ago at a
ladies' club, where one candidate re-
ceived three more black balls than the
number of members present-a case
of excessive zeal indeed!
The practical joker is naturally not
unknown in the most solemn Of clubs,
and some irrepressible jokers have
paid for their love of fun by having
to resign their membership. One of
them, whose escapades, were notorious
in London twenty years ago, sitting
half asleep in a certain Bohemian
club, became annoyed at a very red
headed waiter who kept buzzing about
his chair. The sight of the fiery locks

BUlllED THE CLUB.
A London Duelist Who Forced His
Way Into Brooks.


1t was q witty bishop who once de-
fined a club as a place where women
ceased from troubling and the weary
are at rest" Another amusing defini-
ton was that given by George Agus-
tus Sala. "A club" said he, lis a
weapon used by savages to keep the
white women at a distance" Nova
days, however, as Ralph Nevill re-
marks in his book, London Clubs,
things are different. within the last
twenty-five years or SO the spirit of
London club life has entirely changed
The old fashioned clubman, whose
whole life was bound up with one or
other Of these Institutions. is now prac-
tically extinct"
Perhaps the most striking story
which Mr.. Nevill tells regarding
Brooks club is that concerning the
famous duelist, George Robert FitZ-
gerald, who was executed for murder
i'm 1856. No first class London club
would admit him. His name does not
appear i'm the club list, though he must
