WATEK COOLED WITHOUT ICE.
Foeblo Indians Secure the Ueslred Result
by Means of Evaporation.
Of course, everyone likes ice water.
It is an American habit, and, patriotic
ally speaking;, all American habits are
good. But if people only knew it, says
the Washington Post, there are better
ways of keeping' water cool than put
ting ice in it. And the water that is
cool without being cold is twice as cool
ing to the drinker, to say nothing of
being several times as good for the
stomach into which it is put. One of
the simplest ways of cooling water is
by evaporation. The Pueblo Indian of
our southwest, with his untutored
mind, discovered this fact hundreds of
years ago, and has been using the dis
covery in his quiet, unobtrusive way
. ever since, while jve of the higher civ
ilization have been buying ice, deplet
ing our pockets and spoiling our diges
tion at the same time. The Pueblo In
dians never discovered the art of glaz
ing pottery, and the result is that all
their earthenware is more or less
porous, and when filled with water ab
sorbs it sponge-like, keeping the out
side always moist. This moisture
evaporating cools the vessel and the
water it contains, just as one can feel
the coolness that comes from a breeze
on the body when wet with perspira
tion. In the dry air of the southwest,
where the Pueblo Indian finds his
home, this evaporation , is very great,
and the result is that the pottery ollas
are used by whites, Indians and Mexi-
- cans alike to hold cool drinking water.
Anyone who has traveled through
the southwest cannot fail to recollect
the old brownish buff-colored olla with
its curious Indian decorations in con
ventionalized pictures of birds, beasts
and fish that were sure to be found in
the fork of a dry cottonwood branch
standing" just inside the door with a
yellow calabash, or if, in a very modern
house, a tin cup hanging from a nail
on the door jamb. And water from it
after a long, dusty ride in the boiling
sun tasted many times better than the
coldest ice cream soda he ever paid ten
cents for in the states. It may have
been what Col. Tom Ochiltree terms
. the large, elegant thirst that added to
the supposed virtues of the olla as a
water cooler, but the scientists of the
National Museum will tell you that the
cooling qualities of the porous pottery
are quite as real as imaginary. In the
better class of Mexican houses the
chipped and battered olla in its pictur
esque rustic support will usually be re
placed by a more daintily ornamented
earthen one shaped like an army can
teen, suspended by a gray Mexican
scarf in the draught of a window, or a
highly ornate bowl of a couple of gal
lons' capacity, swung in the same way
in a netting of twisted yucca fibers.
But the cooling principle is always the
WATCHING A GROUSE DRUM.
The Noise Said to Bo Made by the Wings
Against the Body.
Early in October I had the only op
portunity which has ever presented
itself in my twenty years of experi
ence in forest and field of studvine the
method employed by the cock part
ridge in producing that peculiar sound
known among sportsmen as drumming,
says a writer in Forest and Stream. I
was out with my gun looking for quail
quite early in the morning and was
working toward a small wooded
swamp, where I knew the birds found
safe shelter at roosting time, as well as
from the gun when flushed by dog, for
no hunter, no matter how ardent,
would have the temerity to brave the
suck-holes and wild brier vines. Hear
ing the call of a quail, I stopped to
listen and locate him positively. I
stood facing a stone wall, distant about
six rods, on each side of which grew
hazel bushes. Suddenly out of those
on the opposite side sprang a fine old
cock partridge and dropped on the
wall directly in front of me, tail
spread, ruff standing out and crest
raised the picture of alertness. Whal
a chance for an artist. I hardly
breathed. Between us was a smal'
alder bush, tall and slim. This wai
the only shelter, yet the bird did not
seem to notice me, for after standing a
moment he began preening himself,
seeming to enjoy the rays of the sun,
which shone warm and bright. I stood
and watched him thus for probably ten
minutes, and was considering whether
to let him go altogether or flush and
try a shot, when he stopped, shook
himself, stretched one wing and leg,
then the other, took a look around and,
slightly raising his feathers, as a set
ting hen when disturbed, raised his
wings a little above a horizontal line
and brought them down against his
body, increasing the time until it
ended in a flutter, as it seemed. This
I watched him repeat; the third time I
moved slightly; he spotted me and
moved also. I am perfectly satisfied
on one point, however, that the mysteri
ous noise, as some term it, is produced
by striking the wings against the
body. As many will admit, who have
had the opportunity to observe, the
sound is more pronounced and distinct
at a distance than very near it,, where
it has a muffled, fluttering sound.
Many theories are advanced on the
subject, among them one to the effect
that the bird stands on a hollow log and
strikes it with his wings, thus produc
ing the sound from the log.
Buried in Teeth.
A dentist died in a rural town in Eng
land recently, after spending over fifty
years in pulling the molars of his fel
low citizens. He had made it a hobby
to keep all the teeth which he had
drawn in the course of his professional
career, and took great pride m the col
lection. When his will was opened it
was found that he had ordered the col
lection of teeth to be placed with him
in his coffin for buriaL His heirs ful
filled his command, and almost thir
ty thousand teeth were put into the
coffin with the dead dentist. If some
archaeologist of the future century
shall happen to open that grave, he will
have "food loif thought" and some dif
ficulty, perhaps, in explaining the pres
ence of so many teeth.
BUDS, Society
buds, young- wo-,
men just entering
the doors of soci
ety or woman
hood, require the-
wisest care. To
be beautiful and
charming: they
must have perfect
health, with all it
implies a clear
skin, rosy cheeks,
bright eves anc
rood spirits. At
this period th
vouner woman i
especially sensi
tive, and many
nervous trouDles,
wnich con t inn
through life, have
their origin at this
time. If there be
pain, headache, backache, and nervous dis
turbances, or the general health not good,
the judicious use of medicine should be
employed. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion is the best restorative tonic and nerv
ine at this time. The best bodily condition
results from its use. It's a remedy spe
cially indicated lor tnose delicate weafc
nesses and derangements that afflict wo
menkind at one period or another. You'll
find that the woman who has faithfully
used the "Prescription" is the picture of
health, she looks well and she feels well.
In catarrhal inflammation, in chronic dis
placements common to women, where there
are symptoms of backache, dizziness or
fainting, oeanng down sensations, disor
dered stomach, moodiness, fatigue, etc.,
the trouble is surely dispelled and the
sufferer brought back to health and good
spirits.
-WOMAN'S ILLS."
Mrs. W. R. Bates, of
DHworth, Trumbull Co.,
Ohio, writes:
"A few years ago I
took Doctor Pierce's
Favorite Prescription,
which has been a great
benefit to me. I am in
excellent health now.
I hope that every wo
man, who is troubled
with 'women's ills,'
will try the 'Prescrip
tion ' and be benefited
as I have been."
