that Lord Leytonstone was in unusually

Taking q Bite of Whisky.

NJ. G. Peterman Is a German farmer, OF
Pittsburg suburbs, who has made wonder
full inv ention-a new method that will rovolu-
tionize modern whskey distilling. He has
discovered a way of making solicited whis-
KEY, making it into pocket plugs, just like
tobacco. Besides that he says he can also
distill it in liquid form so that it will be the
exact equivalent of two and three year old
whiskey when it comes out of the mill. Last
month persons from New York offered him
500, 900 for his invention and he came
within an ace of selling it to them, under
the impression that they were to make and
sell only in that State, but discovering that
they were trying to secure it from him for
all the States he dismissed the offer.
A man can carry plug of whiskey in his
pocket, and when thirsty can pull it out,
dissolve chip of it in a tumbler of water or
else take a ''chaw,'' as he would of tobacco
II would be especially valuable over the
present liquid, as it would save leakage.
During battles the whiskey carried by armies
for medicine or stimulants. has been lost at
the time when needed most by the barrels OF
vessels being riGdled by bullets. The boxes
containing solid whiskey might be
shattered, but during. or after the bat
tie the cakes could easily be gathered up un-
injured. Even if the article was never man
ufsctured at all, Mr.. Peterman's invention
is valuable in the wonderful Improvement it
makes in the distilling Of liquid whisky. In
a very short time he expects to be ready to
show the world the value of all his inven-
tons. Nearly all his machinery is patented,
but the article itself is not now, but soon will
be, patented.
Mr. Peterman has made his models entire

on the subject, and so complicated the devil

Sleeping and Eating.

When people sit no late at night, par,

instinctively sleep. Human beings be-

Because blood is solicited towards the
stomach to supply the juices needed in
digestion. Hence the brain receives less

therefore ensues. This is physiological.

Always Nipping.

A judicious wife is always nipping off
from her husbands moral nature little
twigs that are growing in wrong directions.
She keeps him in shape by continual
pruning. Ifyou say anything, silly, she will
affectionately tell you SO. If you declare
you will do some absurd thing, she finds
some means of preventing you from it.
And by far the chief part of the common
sense there is in the world belongs unques-
tionably to women. The wisest things a
man commonly does are those things which
his wife counsels him to do. A wife is a
grand wielder of the moral pruning-knife.
If Johnson's wife had lived there would
have been no boarding up of orangepeel,
no touching all the posts in walking along
the streets, no eating and drinking with a
disgusting voracity. If Oliver Goldsmith
had been married, he never would have worn
that memorable and ridiculous coat. When
ever you find man whom you know little
about, oddly dressed, or talking absurdly,
or exhibiting eccentricities of manner, you
may be sure that he is not married man,
for the corners are rounded off-the little
shoots pared away-inm married men. Wives
have generally more sense than their hus-
bands, even though they may be clever
men, The wife's advice is like the ballast
that keeps the ship steady.

Information About the Soudan.

The name of Soudan bears different
meanings, according as it is used by the
Arabs or by the Egyptians. The former
apply it to designate the interior of Africa
generally, and, following them, the geogra-
pliers of Europe have given this name to
all the countries along the southern edge
of the great Sahara, from Senegambia and
Sierra Leone on the west to Darfur on the
east, Etymologically, Soudan means sim
ply "the Blacks" and is corruption of
the Arabic name Baladus Sudan, ''the
country of the blacks" As employed,
however, by the Egyptians, the Soudan"
means not the immense tract of Africa just
described, but tract to the east of it, which
comprises the countries, except Abyssinia,
on both sides of the Nile, south of the sec
ond cataract, which have during the last
sixty years been formed into an Egyptian
province bearing that name. The depen-
dent province or empire-for, be it under
gtood, the Soudan is not Egypt any more
than Algeria is France comprises much
of Nubia, all Sonnaar, all Kordofan and
all parfur,
A report recently made to the British
Foreign Office gave its length from north
to south, or from Assouan to the equator,
at about $3.50 miles, but this makes it be-
gin at the first and not at the second catar-
act of the Nile; its width, on the same au-
thority, from Massowan, on the Red Sea,
to the western limit of the Darfur province,
is from l 200 to !, 400 miles. 1t proba-
bly,, therefore, does not fall far short, if at
all, of the dimensions of India, 1t is in
habited by two totally distinct races, The
northern half by almost pure Arabs, most
of them nomad tribes, protesting some form
of Mohammedanism; and the southern half
by negroes, who thoug III officially classed
among Mussulmans, are really pagans, and
are, roughly speaking, all sedentary and
agricultural. Up to 1919 the Soudan was
divided into q number of petty kingdoms
and chieftaincies; but in that year Moham-
mad Ali, the then Khedive, sent his son
Ismail to conquer the country. From that
time to the present the Egyptians have gone
on extending the borders of their nominal
sovereignty, but have never yet managed
to obtain an undisturbed footing in any part
of the vast territory they claim, The seat
of the provincial government is at Khar-
toum, at the confluence of the Blue and
White Niles.
Khartoum can be reached from Cairo,
from which it is some 1900 miles distant
by the Nile-the railway stopping short at
Assiout, less than 300 miles from Cairo
but the quickest route is by the Red Sea,
from Suez to Suakim, which may be re-
garded as the seaport of the Soudan, and
thence by caravan route of about twenty
eight miles to Berber, where the Nile is
touched, and from that tpoint southwark for
about the same distance to Khartoum.

The Newspaper at Home.

With each day that passes the news
paper grows more and more an educator,
and the extent to which it has become so
can hardly be realized. A few years ago
it was considered a luxury, but there are
few homes now that are so poor as not to
count a newspaper among its belongings.
In fact, it is the principal reading. A
business man, weary with care, will hesi-
tate about beginning book. 1t seems
herculean task to go through with all
those pages, attractive though they may
appear, but he will take up his paper, and
then lay it down at any moment without
hesitation. In the intervals of housekeep-
ing cares the wife catches it up and reads
an article here and there to learn what Is
going on in the great outside world. The
boy and girl want to see each days news,
and the daily or weekly journal goes the
round of the family while the book rests
securely upon its shelf
