Professor F. G. Robinson, the noted
chemist of Bowdoin college, has made pub
lie some facts about the prohibition
beer" which Maine people have been drink
ing of late years. The professor says:
cannot but warn the people of Maine and
the no-icense towns of Massachusetts,
against the light beers which are now be-
ing put 30 extensively on the market.
They come within the law, as they do not
contain over one per cent. of alcohol, but
it is far better for a man to stick to plain
raw whiskey than to indulge in this prohi.
bition beer. The Injurious effect of this
beer lies in the fact that quite percentage
of the compound is salicylic acid, that is
added to stay fermentation, which would
occur on account of the absence of alcohol
Salicylic acts with very dangerous effect

There is hardly any beer sold in this coun,

acid.

A Ten Mile Walk Daily.


Walking is a real pleasure, though, per-
haps, not of the very acute kind. 1t is in
the same case with health. You don't re-
alize how excellent faculty it is until you
have lost the exercise of it. Ask q gouty
man or lame man what he thinks of it.
You may then be astonished to learn what
a valuable power still remains at your dis
posal.
Some one, when he was asked the secret
of his longevity, is said to have replied:
''Eat one meal a day, rise at six all the
year round, never be out of bed at mid
night, think of nothing in particular un-
less you are forced, and walk ten miles ev-
cry day of your life.n
He may have been a wag, this old gen
tleman; but otherwise, II he had truly
acted upon his own recipe for long life,
seeing that he was then in his ninetieth
year, he must have had the blessed privi-
lege of ordering his days as he pleased.
Most of us, happily or not, are forced to
think good deal daily, and upon subjects
that are of very particular Importance.
And most of us have inherited from our
lnconsiderate sires a lamentable habit-not
easy to be controlled-of eating at least
three meals day, without mention of til
fes, which, perhaps, represent fourth.
However, for one allow that the old
gentleman was very wise to recommend a
ten mile walk once in twenty-four hours.
It is the one item in his program that at
tempt to practice in my own mortal career.

Not Going to Jerusalem.

eight gentlemen whose form of feature
bore infallible evidence to their oriental
descent The guard, who seems to have
been a disciple of DR.. Stocker, after exam
lining their tickets, slammed the door, and
gave vent to his anti-Semitic humor and
sentiment by shouting at the top of his
voice, Express train to Jerusalem!"
The train started, and had just got to
full speed when the little company of He
brews resolved to punish GENTLE humor
with little taste of Jewish humor. So
they sounded the alarm signal. The guard
came along the footboard and stopped at
the carriage in which the eight Jews were
sitting. ''Ah, it is you, gentlemen" said
he, sis itl Well, what is wrongF" "Stop
the train" cried they; 1--WE heard you say
that it was express to Jerusalem and We

While operating on gentleman one
day l noticed that one of his eyes
seemed to follow me about, keeping me
in sight, no matter on which side of him
| stood. Finally concluded there was
a cast i'm it, for it seemed to twist around
entirely independent of its mate. I
didn't mind it at first, but after while
it began to fascinate me. l could not
keep my eyes off it. Suddenly tho
gentleman gave sudden short ex-
clamation as my razor Clipped of a
piece of his chin. l apolOgized and
tried to pay close heed to the shaving.
But impossible. That eye, with its
cold. stony stare watching me so close

man muttered an angry oath. This
time had clipped him again. Again
l apologized. and again clipped him.
Ny whole arm began to tremble. l
could hardly draw my razor across his
cheek. The eye still kept its glance
upon my face. was afraid l would
cut the man badly and finally asked
him to please not stare at me so, as it
made me nervous.
II am not looking at you.' he re-
piled. Go on with the shave
Il had the shave half finished by this
time. and pulling my nerves together
by strong effort, endeavored to finish
the job. But that villainous eye seemed
to grow more and more watchful. l
felt as if it suspected me of some crime.
and was posing as the all-seeing eye.
A cold perspiration broke out upon my
face and neck and my customers life
was in danger of being ended.
You'll have to stop staring at me-
said, if you expect me to shave you
iecently.'
why, blank it, he answered angri-
~, I'm not looking at YOU

eye steadily upon me ever since COM
