The Popular Science Monthly"
Volume XXI.

This magazine draws from the intellec-
tual resources of all nations, and is recog
nized as the most successful scientific pc
r1odical in the world.
Appealing to no class, it is patronized
by intelligent readers of every class all
over the country. 1t is widely taken by
the cultivators of science in all branches,
and by physicians, engineers, scientific
farmers, and those pursuing the mechani-
cal and manufacturing arts. Thoughtful
clergvmen find it indispensable, and are
extensively enumeratedamong its subscri
bers. Teachers, finding its discussions OF
the scientific principles OF edueation inval-
liable, are among its most liberal suPPor-
ters. 1t has large clientage among the
lawyers, and it is not easy to find an hon
est and independent student of politics
that does not read it.
The reason of this is, that our best minds
are getting tired of the shallow frivolities
of sensational literature, and demand a
magazine that elevates the standard OF
popular reading in this country. Science
is the great agency of improvement in this
age, private and public, individual, social,
professional, and industrial. In its ire
sistible progress it touches everywhere,
and affects everybody. 1t gives law to the
material interests of the community, and
modifes its ideas, opinions, and beliefs, so
that all have an interest in being informed
of its advancement. Those, therefore,
who desire to know what is going on in
the world of thought in these stirring
times, when new knowledge is rapidly ex-
tending, and old errors are giving way,
will find that they can only keep informed
by subscribing for

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-When the
whisky bill was under discussion to-
day well known employee of the
Senate said, "Have you noticed that
there is not as much drinking among
the Senators as there used to be ?"
Continuing, he said: "Last winter
there were six Republicans and eleven
Democrats who were pretty full all the
while. Of these seventeen only one
drinks to an extent that is now notica-
bic, and he confines himself to brandy
and champagne. Nearly all of the
other sixteen have either become tenn
perate men or are very temperate
drinkers. The time was when the
Democrats in Congress did the most of
the drinking. Now, both in the House
and Senate, the Republicans lead in
this matter. Any way, there is not
near as much whisky drank by Con-
gressmen as there used to be, and the
keepers of the congressional restaurants
complain of lack of business"
