The Longwy custom house seized a
German car that had started from the
Luxemburg station, carrying so-called
dressed stone. From one of the blocks
there was oozing liquid that was
recognized by the inspector as 96 de-
gree alcohol. The car was put on the
wharf, and the stone was taken off and
broken, when IL was observed that the
interior, which was hollow, held zinc

The worlds Population.


Here are some interesting facts about
the people who compose the population
of the world.
There are 1904 languages in the
world, and its inhabitants profess more
than 1000 religions.
The number of men is about equal to
the number of women. The average
of life is about 33 years. One quarter
die previous to the age of II. To every
1000 persons only one reaches 100
years of life. To every 100 only six
reach the age of So, and not more
than one in 500 lives to 80 years of
age.
The number of marriages is in pro-
portion of rs to every 1000 individuals.
Marriages are more frequent after
equinoxes-that is, during the months
of June and December.
Those born in spring are generally
of more robust constitution than 9TH
ers. Births are more frequent by night
than by day; also deaths.
There are on the earth LOCO, 600, 900
inhabitants; of these 93,033, 033 die
every year, 9l,824 every day. $3.50
every hour and 60 every minute or /
every second.
The married are longer lived than
the single, and above all those who OBJ
serve sober and. industrious conduct.
Tall men live longer than short ones.
Women have more chances of life in
their favor previous to 80 years of age
than men have, but fewer afterward.
The number of men capable of bear
ing arms is calculated at one-fourth of
the population.

Avoid all sudden changes between
light and darkness.
Never begin to read, write, or sew
for several minutes after coming from
darkness to bright light.
Never read by twilight or moon
light, or on dark, cloudy days.
When reading it is best to let the
light fall from above obliquely over
the left shoulder.
Do not use the eyesight by light so
scant that 1t requires an effort to dis
criminate.
The moment you are instinctively
prompted to rub your eyes, that mo-
ment stop using them.
If the eyelids are glued together on
waking up do not forcibly open them,
but apply saliva with the finger. It
is the speedist dilutant in the world;
then wash your eyes and face in warm
water.

A SUGGESTION has been made that
oil might with advantage be used at the
most exposed lighthouses to reduce
the force of the waves. 1t is thought
that this end might be attained by
placing, say, couple Of small
steel buoys in the most exposed direc-
tion at distance from the lighthouse OF
some $50 feet. There should be O pull
ley on the buoy and slight rope, so
that the bag or appliance for distribut-
ing the oil could be hauled in when re-
quired. The method is most simple,
and can be tested without great ex-
pense.
