Could anything be more delightful ♦h«Ti the career of a drop of water? Think of it: To sparkle in the dew. to purl and babble in the brook, to float languidly on the atmosphere in the form of vapor, to ride in the stonu-cloud and tumble over the foaming cataract' To be wooed back to heaven by the rays of tbe 6nn, to fall on the parched earth and give life and vigor to vegetation, to slake the thirst of the weary traveler, to be transformed into steam to drive steamship and locomotive, to journey through creeks and rivers to the sea, bearing upon ycur bosom the commerce of a world, to roam about among the fishes and monsters of the deep, to ride upon tbe foam-crested breakers, to fpi««li against the rocks of every shore, to be frozen in ice-bergs and cryetalized is snow flakes, to romp with the bathers on every beach, and to be absolutely in destructible and immortal: Wouldn t yon like to be a drop of water? Well, if that is any comfort, it might as well be understood at once that you are about three-fourths water. A chemical analysis of a human body •hows that we are largely composed of water. The average man consumes annually 1500 pounds of water, 800 pounds of dry food and 800 pounds of oxygen. This becomes a part of his anatomy and is eliminated and re newed constantly, keeping up a con tinual process of destruction and re pair. In this way a man may be com pared to a stream of water, which while preserving the same general appearance, is a perpetual succession of new material. Water is the principal constituent of animal life. No seed will germinate without moisture, and no cell will develop unless it is supplied with a proper amount of water. Therefore, men and brethren let us fill the gourd and drink!— Spirit. Pittsbargers will try to secure the Republican National Convention of next year. They think they now have am ple hotel accommodations for the vast crowd that would attend, and also two large halls—Duquesne Garden and the Expo. Music hall—either of which are large enough to seat all the delegates. AFTER all, it takes Japan to get np a first-class international complication without notice. Here is the steamer Stanley Dollar, of British registry, owned by an American and carrying a Russian cargo from a Chinese port, pre vented by a Japanese gunboat from en tering the Corean port of Yongampbo. Isn't that a mix-up? THE "Cave of Giants" is the name which has been given to a .new mam moth cave discovered in southeastern CWtfoniia in the heart of tbe Provi dence Mountains. The cave was dis covered by George L. Berg, to whom its existence was revealed by a native In who lives on tbe west slope of the nuigtt. THE C. 8. cruisers Brooklyn and San Francisco reached the port of Beirnt m Syria, last Friday, and bad hardly dropped anchor till they learned that the seat of trouble had been transferred to Constantinople, where the "insur gents" were threatening the foreign legations. The "sick man of Europe" seems to be in a bad way, internally, at present; while in Macedonia his army Is butchering people by the thousand, •nd burning their homes, and tbe people are fleeing to the mountains. 4 TRIAL by jury has recently been abolished by tbe Coriftress of Costa Rica upon tbe ground that tbe people of that country are too ignorant, or that they are toe much controlled by personal or political prejudices, to be trusted to give just, intelligent and impartial verdicts That statement is pretty bard upon the people of Costa Bica, but tbere is no raason to doubt its truth. Somehow or Other tbe Latin races seem to lack the qualities which are essential to the effl cient and satisfying - performance if jury duty. Blue law of PeuiiMylvania. The blue law of this State, passed and approved April 22, 171#I, is of interest at this time because of widespread discus sion arising from the attempted enforce ment of the law in a number of local ities. It is as follows. Section 1.
