If you wmild have health you must ilrink good" wnter und plenty of it, Just now when spring is Ix'ninninj; opeiation, hot'tor Na ture shows the way. It's water everywhere and in everything. Man consists of fifty-eight and a half p.;r ceiii of water, and water makes seventy per cent of the en lire body weight. The habits of man's cells are aquatic. Recent medical books written by the high est aumoriiies of America and Bu ropt bonks published within the pa-,1 two years give new empha sis to ihe need ami value of water in the human system. One of the most authoritaiive suites that water is entitled to rank as a lood be cause it einers into the structural composition of all funds as well as into the tissues ol the body. One of the ill.:- umvcisdl dietetic faults is neglecting to i;ike water into the system. Tin lime is coming when every enlightened farmer will have his water supply inspected regularly. In our better days we shall have a service that will give to every sec tion an examination and supervis ion of water used by human be ings. In some States analysis may be had at small expense and it is flying in the face of Providence not to profit by this. The cost is nothing compared to the benefits. And keep this in mind : You can not maintain your health and effi ciency unless you drink good water freely. In these big days Napoleon is in eclipse, but he said many things thai endure; one uf them was : "Water, air and cleanliness are the duel articles in my phar.naeopea." tltS LIMITATIONS The suffragette was handing the congressman some of her mind in small fragments. "Yes," she said, "I am willing to admit that yon possess various talents and are" capable of enacting soine wonderful nets and noble deeds, hut there is one thing which is impossible for you to accom plish." "What is that0" asked the chap who helps to keep con in congress. "You can't wink and work your ears at the same time," answered the fair party of the suflragette part.

"Vi'hen Jay k done, and o'er the wo-U the ge nie twdig ii drops; VC'hen rush and roar have died away, and busy traffic stops; When spicy breezes borne by June from Arabia the blest; When not a wave of trouble rolls across my peaceful breast, I love to sit at ease and hear some sweet-voiced singer sing The good old Zion songs of yore, which fondest memories bring. Since 1 can read my titles clear, the tears come to my eyes, But through the mist I seem to see those mansions in the sky. "When evening shadows cool and deep have fallen o'er the world. I have forgot the cares of day when, tiery darts were hurled. And sitting in my old arm chair beneath the rustling trees, It seems ihat 1 am borne away on Howery beds of ease. A clear voice sings the gocd old songs, and in my thoughts I stand On Jordan's stormy banks, and ga.e on far-off Beulah Land. Fond memories of other days the old songs bring to me, When, Now I lay me down to sleep, I lisped at mother's knee. "When purpling shadows line the west with gold and silver sheen, Sweet fields beyond the swelling (lood stand dressed in living green, The echoing music of the songs ring out upon the air The happy promise writ of old, there'll be no sorrow there. All troubles flee as Hee the days, and with a restful sigh I ga.e, o'er Canaan's happy land where my possessions lie. Old days, old friends, come trooping back from out the shadowy past As o'er my soul those dear old songs their web of memory cast. ''Those good old songs, those dear old songs! When I am called to go I want to hear their melodies in measures soft and low. Just as 1 am without one plea, I'll lay me down to sleep. For, Jesus lover of my soul, will still His watch care keep, And when 1 wake to endless day on yonder shining shore, I want to hear those grand old songs of Zion evermore. Those grand old songs olir mothers sang, 0, sing them o'er to me, Until in that, Sweet Bye and Bye, the jasper walls I see. No Other Poem Has Ulven World So Many Immortal Quotations I Ai Orey'a Elegy. No single poem in the linglish language perhaps has contributed so many lines that have passed in to currency of quotation as Grey's famous lilegy. It is a veritable : mine of epigrammatic nuggets that j have enriched the language of or i ators and writers and become such ; familiar property that their origin is almost forgotten and they sel dom now receive the credit even of quotation marks. Here are a few of them that will be recognized as old friends : "The short and simple annals of the poor." "Rich with the spoils of time." "The paths of glory lead to the grave." "And freeze the genial currents of (he soul." "Full many a (lower is born to blush unseen and waste its sweet ness on the desert air." "Some mute, inglorious Milton, some Hampden guiltless of his country's blood." "Hands that the rod of empire might have swayed." "The applause of listening sen ates to command." "The noiseless tenor of their way." "Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife." "E'en in our ashes live their wonted fires." "A youth to fortune and to fame unknown." "To wade through slaughter to a throne." The inspirational influences of the poem have been far-reaching, says the Kansas City Star. Thom as Hardy's moil famous book and the best of his earlier novels "The Madding Crowd," de rived its title and perhaps its in spiration from one of the oft-quoied lines of ihe elegy. It is told of Daniel Webster that when he was being driven to the capitol to de liver his reply to Haynes he was heard by one of his companions to murmur over and over again as he rode along the words: "The applause of listening senates to command." It will also be re membered that Wolfe, the con queror of Quebec, read this poem in his lent the night before ihe bat tle on the plains of Abraham and said: "I would rather be the author of that poem than vthe conqueror of Quebec." 3itSrt'S r"tl It 5 raw ifcz1 "'""' '"'MirtmiimmmM yam KEEP UP YOUR PLUCK. Keep up your pluck and take another hold; Don't whimper; it is useless to complain, Fortune still deals her favors to the bold. There's never loss but somewhere is a gain. While you have left your body and your brain, In spite of all misfortune, be consoled, There's always hope while these you still retain. Keep up your pluck and take another hold. The world to you may seem both hard and cold, And yet it is a good world, in the main; If sympathy is in small measure doled, Don't whimper; il is useless to complain. With cheerful smiles conceal the hidden pain, Leave your vexaiions and your wrongs untold. Fight, but if beaten from weak tears refrain, Fnriune still deals her favors to the bold. Oh, those invertebrates who fret and scold, Make laces at the cup ihey have to drain, Dumbly despair at loss of land or gold! There's never loss hut somewhere is a gain. Be valiant.

"He got married, and his wife wouldn t let him go into politics.' This is a great age for haste. But as some wise head has stated, haste makes waste. Take time to do things well. Haste in eating makes haste in health. The stomach rebels and refuses to co-operate and the whole human machine backs up the stom ach. And with impaired health, there naturally comes a slowing down of the natural and usual speed that always trots alongside effort wisely and economically spent. Take time to think things out. A loss of energy in ill temper and heated words always means a loss of power at the source in your brain and at the head offices of your nervous system. Haste while in a temper or under circum stances of Provocation is almost always regretted. When the brain Is all stirred up and the whole body up in arms that's the time for pa tience and waiting never for haste. The thing to do then is to Take time to cool off.
