Artificial Age for Whisky.

The new way of prematurely aging
whisky by what is known as the Taxa
mine process is attracting a good deal
ofthe attention of the Distillers' and Cat
tie Feeders Trust just now. 1t is said
to be q Japanese invention, which. by
a fermenting process accOmpllshes IN
a few days what Father Time has re-
quired years to accomplish. 1t has
been tested by the trust. The Chicago
Tribune is responsible for the state
ment that the trust has made contract
to equip it's entire plant with the Taxa
mine device. The Tribune says:
"Work will be started Immediately on
the Manhattan distillery at Peoria, and
it is expected that by October Is that
distillery with capacity of 5000
bushels per day, will be in complete
operation under the new process.
the Takamine Company is that the
trust will bear all expenses of fitting up
it's plant with the new process, and the
company will receive as royalty one
fifth of the savings effected by the pro-
cess. The inventor of the process be-
lieyes, and seems to have pretty fully
demonstrated, that he will be able to
show a saving of something like 10
cents per bushel on the 10000 bushels
per day that the trust consumes, and in
addition to that, Will increase the out
put of alcohol at least two quarts per
bushel. Of course if anything like
these results are realized, the profits
will be of'Aladdin-like' proportions. u

Frigidlty on Tap.

A system of supplying artificial re-
frigeration to families and business
concerns, by means of mains laid in the
streets, has been in successful operation
for about two years. The principle of
the system is the familiar use of lique-
fed ammonia gas, which forms the basis
of nearly all the refrigerating processes
now in use.
These pipes are laid in the streets
one for conveying the freezing liquid
under pressure from the central station,
the second for the return of the ex-
banded ammonia in gaseous form, and
the third for the removal of any ac-
communications of gas from main or
branch lines. The service embraces
over two miles of pipe.
In houses where the system is used
coil of pipe placed in the refrigerator,
one end being connected with the liquid
ammonia line and the other with the
return gas line. When small portion
of the liquid is allowed to run into the
coil the ammonia at once expands into
gas, producing an intense cold in the
immediate vicinity say about % degrees
below zero, Fahrenheit.

His Sneeze Means Take a Rest.

Upon his arm he carried Turkish

He was walking along Ninth Avenue
yesterday afternoon.
At the corner of West Twenty sixth

Manhattan island.

Periods of Warfare.

In the history of human warfare the
age of arrows must have been preced-
ed by long age of clubs, and perhaps
still longer period of strictly natural
weapons-teeth. nails and clenched
fists says the Philadelphia Times. The
invention OF gunpowder inaugurated the
present age of bullets, which will pos
sibly be followed by an era of torpedo, 8
or stunning explosives. A six-ounce
cartridge of dynamite will kill every
fish in a pond 200 yards square, and it is
by no means impossible that the explos-
ives of the future will act in the same
way upon the atmosphere Of besieged

NERVE TONlCS.
The Proper Way to Build Up Wasted
Nerves and Muscles.

The Proper Way to Build Up Wasted
Nerves and Muscles.
Medicines do not act as nerve tonics
unless we understand a tonic to be
whip. A whip makes horse lively for
the time but it does not make his mus
eles any stronger. 1t is impossible for
medicine to increase the strength of
mans nerves or muscles. Tonics and
narcotics have their proper use in emer-
yencies, but they are foolers for the
most part. They make man feel COM
Portable when he is uncomfortab BILE;
they make him unconscious of pain
when he is full of pain. What is needed
is little physiological treatment The
nervousness needs to be relieved by
having better nerves built up: the liver
needs to be relieved by being made
over; the muscular system must be
renovated and strengthened through the
use of proper food and exercise. Acute
diseases may be likened to circle
which will bring one round to the start
ing point, physically, when they have
run their course unless they terminate
fatally before the circle is completed.
Chronic diseases are on a tangent which
tends further and further from the
starting point of health. There is no
such thing as disposition to return.
The only thing which can be done is to
turn around and slowly retrace the dis
lance by having the vital organs recon-
structed. A person of average size has
ten and a half pounds of blood The
life of blood corpuscle is six weeks
The blood is renewed then every six
weeks and the quality of the blood may
be improved with each renewal by using
a better diet and encouraging digestion.
With better blood we have better nerves
and brain and muscles and better di-
gestive organs In this way the vital
status can be gradually raised and the
body educated out of disease
Getting we'll is really a process of
growth. There is no antidote for dis
case. Restoration to health is a process
of training and education. The invalids
who want to ''swaliow something' and
get well in minute should be made to
understand that physiological treat
ment is the only kind which will avail
and that it is necessarily slow. 1t is
nature who does the work. A doctor
can do something in removing obstacles
and assisting her in her task. The rate
of progress must depend upon the
amount of vital capital remaining in
each individual case.-Dr. J. II. Kellogg

Finger-Nail Polishing.

There are encouraging signs that the
craze for fnger-nail polishing is in
fair way of abatement. do not know
exactly what instinct of barbarity led
one-half of New York to start in OH a
rabid career of dissipation in the matter
of nail-polishing year or so ago, but
whatever it was its sway no longer ex-
lists. It is bad enough to be waited on
in shop by young woman whose fin.
gers are stained to the knuckle-ioints
with what looks like crimson ink, and
to encounter on all sides maroon finger
nails, which have been butchered and
polished and wrought upon until they
look like anything but human. These
things are easily enough forgiven in
women, however. The rub comes with
the presence of lordly and corpulent
men who walk into a public billiard
room or cafe and laboriously display
huge knotted fists and stubby fingers
the nails of which are artificially col.
ored. A mans hand, as a rule, is a
grewsome thing at best, but when his
finger nails are doctored the incongruity
approaches the grotesque.-N. Y. Re
cordes.
