It Should fl«* For the lati tude lit \\ ll It'll It Ptaudft. In an old shop in lower New York a man kee; s up his trade of dial making. The dulls, square, octagonal or circu lar. are hand chased. They do not re ceive a high polish, ami any acciden tal effect of weather stain or other "tone of time" Is carefully preserved If not skillfully added. These lials, fitted with the gnomon or stylus, are then artfully slipped inf— the show WMBWI ot uptown shops among a selected debris ot Shellield pinte prism ciindl' sth I: inlaid tea caddies and old blue plates. A visitor to oue of these shops asked; * How old Is that brass dial over there? If* alt hand work, Isu't It?" "It's hll hand work," said the proprie tor, whom we will call Truthful James. • 1 can testify to that, for I know the man wh« e hands made It. lfs about a in »u:h old. If you Want to know. Yoii'ie like lots of other p«-ople—you want an old Scotch or English dial. Don't you know It would be useless, If you found It.for practical purposes? Excuse me, but haven't you over stud led gcogiaph\ and heard of latitude? A dial ought to be marked out scien tifically for the exact latitude In which It Is to be set up So unless you strike the same parallel In the states that the dial left In England It will tell lies from morning till night You'd 1h» sur prise! how many people pick up a dial that strikes their fancy which perhaps stood In the garden of an old Virginia estate, intending to hurry It off to the big grounds of some place In Minneso ta; or they'll snatch at some quaint dial from New England, with the idea of rigging it up In Texas. "More people would nmke the same blunder, except that many haven't caught on t«► dials. Too bad. Nothing Is prettier than a simple dial at the crossways of garden paths, or by n fountain or on a terrace or at the en trance of a {M-i-gula or near a rustic m-at or arl»or You don't have to hire a head gardener and two assistants to keep a sundial. Marble platforms and pedestals are very grand, but unless you're running a big Italian Harden with eltpp«il hedges and yews and statues something simple Is what you want The dial will keep Just as good time, on<s» it's engraved right, If It's mounted on a tree stump, with Ivy planted round It. or on a Isjwlder, or on the c<»ping of an old disused well, or on a column of cobbles mortared together, or on top of the old hitching post that the family doesn't use In these auto mobile days, but doesn't want to root up and throw away. "You'd IM- surprised at the ingenuity of some jH'ople," said Truthful James, who himself seamed of Ingenious bent. "I mean pe<»ple who haven't much money to spend and are fond of their own old *tulT for association's sake. They're ihe ones who get effects with a p!«•<•« of Junk, a lump of sentiment and a pocket of small change that can't be Itought with a blank check. I've known people who used an old mill stone to set the dial on, or who laid a slab over an old stone garden urn, or who saved the capitals from pillars on a house being torn down, or who even rigK'*l up a standard from the bricks of a chlmne* on an old homestead that had meant a lot to them. (.Hie family made a sort of calm out of a gc>|r r y collection some ancestor had formed. Another took a flag pole fvr the gnoii. m and laid out a dial with js'bbles in (lie grass around the pole. "No, It doesu't require any skill to s-.-t up the dial (jet the noon mark for the gnomon on several days, nick It on the slab and then set the dial in a bed of cement. There you are."

Parcel la / In the twilight of a secondhand shop on Royal street Van Tlolden Raw her first. She eaine toward hiin down an aislo of shadow between old ma hogany sideboards and dusty armolres and laid her stray gloved hand npon one end of a quaint davenport on whose other end reposed the hand of Van I [olden. "This davenport," she said to the shopkeeper, "is the one you reserved for me. Is it not?" "Pardon me," said Van Ilolden lirni ly the davenport was genuine nuUjog auy and of a good shape—"l have Just bought It." The shopkeeper, a little Creole with voluble eyes and a fierce mustache, looked from one to the other. "Mais oul," ho murmured politely, "it is valr good davenpo't"— "You promised yesterday afternoon," she said with Icy dignity, "to reserve it for me. I must have It. I witih it upholstered in the preen rep you show ed mo, and 1 want it by Thursday morning." "Pardon me" Van Ilolden began again She Ignored his existence and drew a card from her case of snakeskln. "Here is my address," she said, scribbling something thereon, "and I will give you a check on delivery of the davenport. Eighty dollars I think you said?" Van Holden's sense of humor, as Fisted by the pleasing picture of pale hair aud gray eyes in a cool palo faco against a background of cobwebbed walls, began to rise. "I was to have had it for fifty," he suggested plaintively. "I will give you eighty for it," eho said to the shopkeeper. And her face was noticeably less pale. "It ees valr good davenport," said the shopkeeper, twisting his fierce mustache. "I pay hun'erd dollar fo' It but I take eighty. Yas. I take eighty." "Oh, you do?" said Van Ilolden sar castically. "What about the fifty I'm giving you? 1 suppose you take that too? Now, see hero, my man." lie smoothed out the check between his fingers. "If you have paid for it," said the lady icily, *1 6hall of course not take It. I had not understood"— "Pray do not consider me in the matter," said Van Ilolden, with equal promptness. "I shall not take It now." He thrust the check Into his vest pock et as the shopkeeper's dirty fingers rinsed clawlike over the lady's card. "Upholster in green rep? Varnish? Me, I lose S2O, yes—but—you take it— I keep my word." "No," said the lady; "I shall not take it. My card." She slipped It back in to the case. "I do not care for tho davenport." She walked to tho door, holding her skirts away from con tamination. and turned Into tho hot narrow street, a slender figure In a gray gown and a gray hat with pale roses on the wide brim. Van Ilolden lit a cigarette in tho In terval of regarding the shopkeeper with a piercing Interest. "Overreached yourself that time, Mr. Montague," he remarked pleasantly. "Dose Yankees," said Mr. Montague morosely. "I dare say," said Van Ilolden. Ho walked to the front of the shop, tbi creole at his heels, and a humorous smile twitched the corners of his month. "That was a dirty trick of yours. And. by the way, you needn't send up that chair I looked at. I don't care to deal with you in future." Mr. Montague shrugged his shoulders ami lifted up his eyes. Van Holden turned on his heel and walked leisurely down tho street, his annoyance lost In a sense of amusement " 'l>oso Yankees,' " he echoed to him self. Then his meditation took the form of manifest approval. "She would have been a picture on that daveuport after It was done In green, with her coloring lack of coloring, rather. Hel lo, Rerden! Anything doing? Come over and have lunch at the Cosmopoli tan." "That's where I'm going uow," said Berden. "Von are just the man I want. I'm taking the girls to lunch to day. Molly has a girl visiting her, you know. You'll Just round out the party and make us happy foursome. Oh, come on. And see here, Vail—what about that deal you made In cotton yesterday?" Thoy sauntered down the street, deep In discussion, until Borden stopped suddenly. "Jove! I've pot togo over to some blamed store aud meet thoßO girls. You goon and engnge a table; that's a good fellow. Order the lunch, If you want to; you do It better than I do anyhow I shan't bo long." 110 darted off, iUte a distracted water bug In linen clothes and a pana ma, and Van Ilolden set forth upon his quest of a table. He found one In a cool corner of the dining room and consumed some time In the ordering of a luncheon that should combine deli cacy and a good deal of ice. When tho waiter hud left him, he fell to drpmmlng on the table and thinking of the davenport girl, as he called her to himself. "f.'oW," he mused, "and solf possessed and, Lord, what a face prettier, perhaps, for a touch of color." Vaguely he remembered something about "the beauty of a blush to him who has caused it"and smiled to think that lie had made her tdush for anger. "Heigh lio," he sighed, entirely with out .vison. 1111,1 0,1 the moment I'.er -1 s voice was in his ears. "Wake up, boy; I.ook ns if you were seeing il' .

"• »h, the Joke's not on you," said Iterden consolingly. "And when she went there she found a chap engaged In buying her piece a very decent looking chap, she says." "Ho make him hush, Molly." Miss Met ollough"* glass of water answered a despairing and surreptitious push by flowing aero i the tablecloth onto • jtertieii s kiiow. Miss McCollough gasped "Oh, that's all right," said Rerden, Jumping up. lie beckoned a waiter and presently resumed his seat and his story. "Chap was awfully good looking," he rattled on, "well dressed—manner — what was his manner, Molly? Oh, yes, 'the perfection of indifference and the dearest smile.'" The quick crimson swept up to the gray hat brim, but Rerden was merci less. "She insisted on having tho thing; so did he. She spoke of paying SBO for it He let out that he was getting It for SSO. 1 tell you those dealers are regu lar sharks. So she didn't take It, and— listen to this. Van Holden she says she's willing to lose the furniture for the sake of the adventure says she's found her affinity." "For pity's sake, Robbie, hush!" cried his wife. "Can't you see you're wor rying Nora? I»o eat your lunch." "Did the man get the desk. Miss Mc- Collough?" inquired Van Ilolden, with courteous interest. "Probably so. 1 left him there," she answered vindictively. "Mr. Rerden, is the old Hotel Itoval open to visitors?" "Why don't you go back and see?" asked the man across the table insist ently. "The hotel?" she inquired, surprised. "No; tho antique store"— "Because I am not sufficiently inter ested." Van Ilolden smiled confidently and applied himself to the salad. With tho arrival of the finger bowls the conversation by easy stages, in which Berdon's new motor, tho last re gatta and a projected house party across the lake were discussed, came back to Miss McCollougli's adventure. "So you think the man bought your— desk?" said Van Holden. "If he didn't —l'll wager he will." Mrs. Rerden arose, shaking out her skirts. "If he saw Ills affinity as she saw her," she laughed, "he may have bought it for her sake." "I was thinking of that," said Van Ilolden. "Aud some day." said Mrs. Rerden teaslngly, "she may sit on It before his library fire In a soft gray gown tho davenport was to be upholstered In dull green, you know." "Don't be silly, Molly. Wo shall bo late if you talk so long," Miss Mc Collough insisted feverishly. "Well, you never can tell," said Rer den. "Anything might happen, eh, Van V" "I should think that was quite possi ble," said N an Ilolden. "Of course," said Rerden. "Come up aud see us, ol<l chap." "We're going to motor out to west end for dinner tomorrow night Don't you want to come?" echoed his wife. "I do," said Van Ilolden earnestly. "Rut Miss MeCollough hasn't asked me yet." "Will you come?" asked Miss Me- Collough, with level defiance and something else in her gray eyes. That day Mr. Montague sold the davenport. Cireolfy'w AflVotnflon. Thoro was a grout deal of Innocence in Horace («roe ley as well as not a lit tie affectation. He was rarely seen without one trousers leg carelessly caught in the upper part of his boot, and a necktie with a bow under his ear. Once in the public room of a hotel a friend of (Sreeley's kindly pulled down the disarranged tr ui-ers log and straightened the necktie. (Jreoley thanked him and soon after left the room. When In the course of half an hour be appeared In tho street the trousers leg and the necktie had been carefully disarranged, and the man looked as negligent of things earthly as ho always looked. It was part of his pose as a ni-in of genius to wear his trousers and his necktie as if he had put them on In a hurry while ab sorbed In meditation.

It Is well known that tho poet Whit tier was color blind and unable to dis tinguish red from green. He once bought for himself a necktie which he supposed to be of a modest and suit able olive tint and wore it once. He never wore it again, for his friends soon made him aware that It offended against the traditional quietness of costume enjoined alike by the habits of the Friends and by his own taste. The tie was of flaming scarlet. On another occasion, when he found ft little girl In distress on account of a new gown, made over from her elder sister's, which was not becoming to her coloring aud complexion, he tried to console her. "I wouldn't mind what a rude boy says about it, Mary," lie said kindly. "Thee looks very well Indeed in It, like an oread, Mary, dressed all In green." Unfortunately, Mary was not dressed In green. She was red haired, and her dress was red. That was the trouble. Once, on a day In mid March, when out walking with a Friend and deeply engaged in conversation, Mr. Whittler approached too near for safety to a place where blasting was going on. The danger signal was shown, but neither Friend noticed It until a work man, violently waving his arms and shouting, leaped before them and warned them back. "1 didn't see the flag at all," said Mr. Whittier's companion. "I saw It," rejoined the poet, with a twinkle in Ills eye, "but 1 thought it was In honor of St. Patrick. Thee knows my defect.

Hiram, the Phoenician monarch, rtrove to imitate Cod by erecting four mighty pillars upon which he caused icven heavens apartments—to be built. The first wis constructed of glass, 500 by HOI) yards, storing therein mock Im ages of the sun, moon and star*. Ttao second compartment of Iron, 1,000 by 1,00(> yards, was the receptacle cf pre cious stones, causing a terrific noise resembling thunder when they crashed against each other and the casement of the lnclosure. The third chamber was of lead, 1,500 by 1,500 yards. The fourth was of tin, 2,000 by 2/K)0 yards. The llfth wan of copper, 2,500 by 2,500 yards, 'lie- sixth was of silver, 3,<X>o by 3,0iMl yards. The seventh was of gold, 3,500 by 3,500 yards, containing precious stones, pearls and a magnifi cent throne. A channel of water sep arated the apartments. Hiram, Imitating the royal splendor of the court of King Solomon, sur rounded himself by the grandest con ceivable display of magnificence. In the seventh apartment was stationed a golden bed, the corners of which wore set In pearls without value In nil the world, sparkling forth beautiful flashes resembling lightning, which spread wonder and terror among his subjects. The prophet Kzekiel was ordered to appear before Hiram, who, at a loss as to how to reach the seven heavens wherein the monarch presided, was transported into his castle by the locks of his hair. Upon perceiving the di vine messenger Hiram trembled. "Who art thouV" thundered the indignant har binger of future events. "Why dost thou boast? Art tlion not born of wo man's womb?" "I am," replied Hiram, "but I live forever. Like Cod dwelling over wa ters, dwell I. Like him refgnlng over seven heavens, I rule In seven apart ments. As God Is surrounded by light ning and thunder, so am I. God has stars In heaven; so have I. Many sov ereigns !<:»<• so:::! 1 to mortality, and I still exist. Twenty-one kings of the house of Israel and David, twenty prophets and ten high priests have de parted this earth, but I outlive them all." "Why dost thou boast?" again de manded Kzi'l.i !.

How much water sboukl wo drink tml when should we drink it are ques tions s » simple that at first sight their iliscus.-'.ion seems superfluous. One would naturally answer, "Drlnlc all the water you wish when you are thirsty," hut authorities say. "Drink more than you wisli when you are not thirsty," for they recommend that a gallon or so in- drunk between meals, which is more water than wo need and the very time the system least demands it. Us ually we experience thirst during or directly after eating. Inasmuch as NT per cent of the whole body is water, which is, of course, be ing used up every moment, there Is no question that we shuuld drink of this element copiously, hut it is a serious question whether we should refrain from water at meals—the time we par ticularly de ire It. There is a class of persons, ever grow ing more numerous, that believes that whatever is is wrong. For the uatura! and simple they would substi fute the artificial and complicated. To drink water while or directly after eat ing is a natural instinct. Give a dog his dinner, putting a howl of water near it, and observe that he will first e:it all he can an 1 then immediately rrlnk. Wild animals look for a stream alter feed in;..-. Cage birds will stop p. ' lag at eel to peck at water. <'hll drea have a perpetual thirst, and I have s.-cn ii.'iier that, unlike young Oiher, have refused t-> eat more when denied wati rafter every few mouth fr's. I! is espo» • :illy important that babies he g*ven wli.it wat-t they wish and at !':e time iiiey wish it, which is usually •it table. The thinner food is the more easily an 1 tlir-. g ; :\y it digested; in fact, It caui: ' i> > ill r until it has been made liquiu ! y i! e g-strlc and Intesti nal juices. Indit- ti ni is caused often by food that has n.>; b -en sulliciently moistened by the digestive retions. There arc sound physiological rea sons for our craving water with meals. Water Is tic s ilvent that constitutes 95 per cent of the gastric juice. Now, when one eats a hearty meal and does not drink, the amount of water in the etouiach is r.ot suliicient thoroughly to moisten the great quantity of food, and this .; ■ i-a oiillcult.

The excieinent of person : from constipation i always dry and hard and is a potent cause of appendicitis. The Idea that water drinking at meals unduly dilutes the gastric juico Is nonsen deal, water being not so pal atable that one is apt to drink mom than his digestive functions require. As a matter of fact water generally facilitates the digestion of albuminous substances. In this connection Dr. A. Jacobi in his work on "Infant Diet," page (17, says: "in experiments upon digestion of albumen with gastric juice obtained from the stomach oi animals it was no ticed that after a certain time the proc ess began to slacken, but was renewed merely by the addition of water. The gastric juice became saturated with the t üb: laneo it had dissolved and ceased to act upon what remained un t'l it had be.-it diluted. In the living rtomach this dilution is of even greater Importance, for it permits of the im mediate absorption of the substances poluhle in water and which do not re quire the si c. ife action of the gastric jniee." Nt iihcr the gastric Juice nor pep-in has any true digestive action unless they '-e largely diluted with wa ter. It goes without saying that it is not the food that is ingested, Nut that which !s digested, that does good, and this principle hold • ood with water, which is practically a food. Now, when one resi. ts the perfectly natural desire to drink while eating he may be not thirsty several hours afterward, but he Is advised nevertheless to force himself to drink at that time. But if he drinks then, the water, having no food to mix with it, will go through him, as it were—that Is, it will do no good. The importance of water to the hu man economy may be inferred from the various purposes it subserves. First, It softens aud dissolves solid foods, thus facilitating their mastica tion and dige tiou; second, it main tains a due liulk of blood and tin? structures of the body; third, it keep.*, substances in solution or suspension while moving in the body; fourth, it supplies elements in the body's chem ical changes; fifth, it makes easy the elimination of waste material; sixth, 't discharges aijM'i'lliioiis heat by tran spiration throu h the skin and by emis sion timet h other outlets, and, sev enth, it sap;dies in a convenient form heat to or abstracts heat from the body. Some of these functions are performed by water in Its liquid state ami others i:i a state of vapor. Have you indigestion?
