the first place It is not easy to decide
where moderate drinking begins The
one insensibly glides into the other.
There are ten million drunkards in the
United States, and of these one million
die off every year. If their ranks were
not recruited, in ten years the race of
drunkards would be extinct. Emit the
ranks are filed up. Whence come tho
new recruits? Certainly not from tho
total abstainers; from the moderate
drinkers every time. The peril of
what is called moderate drinking lies
in its tendency to cross the line and be-
come drunkenness. If, however, this
peril is escaped, we still believe that
even the moderate use of strong drink
Is a physical evil ever tending to i'm
pair the vital forces and to diminish
the expectation of long life. Alcohol
is poison, and poison in small doses
may not he fatal, but certainly cannot
be wholesome. Alcohol Injuries and
distigures the blood globuics and pre-
vents the proper elimination of carbon.
In hot climates the most moderate use

In his work npon tropical diseases,
says: II have ever found from INV own
knowledge and custom, as well as

climate, and can undergo the greatest

Drinking Le1islatOrs.

Everybody knows that while it is
supposed to be prohibited, the sale OF
intoxicants goes o. all the time in both
the restaurants during the sessions Of
congress-, and that besides that the
chairmen of several senate and house
committees (although this practic. is
more common at the senate end of the
capitol than at the house end} keep 3
private bottle or even delnijohn in
their committe rooms for the benefit OF
themselves and their friends. Senators
and representatives, with the excep-
tions mentioned, are drinking at the
capitol every day, and every hour Of
every day, during every session. But
the fact. of course, is that this drink
ing all goes on quietly behind a screen,
80 to speak, and that very. very few OF
them drink to excess. The wine and
liquor list can be had for the asking in
the restaurants, but liquors IRE very
apt to be served in teacups, and wines
as quietly as possible. Senators and
representatives themselves, the news
paper men and others who are habit
ua>ly about the capitol, know vc:c
well that the drinking is going on, tut
it is ali SO unobtrusivcly done that
strangers at the capitol would not dc
tcct it. It is, of course, because i: is
done in moderation that its effects CO
not appear publicly, except IN rae
cases:-Philadclphia Record.

Anyone Handy with Tools Can Make 1t
In the Farm Shop.
There exist various contrivances for
the linear measure of land surface.
There are steel tapes, which are ex-
pensive: linen tapes, cheaper, but of
short durability and liable to get
soiled, while both require two per-
sons to handle them. Another kind is
offered by agricultural implement
makers in the form of nave, from
which spokes point out, which revolves

these can prick the surface only at
short intervals, say twelve inches,

The contributor therefore wishes to
draw farmers attention to a simple,

an instrument which offers variety of
measures.
This measure, shown in the illustra-

FOR APPLE PICKING,

How to Fasten Two Ladders Together a,
the Top.
To avoid injury to trees by leaning
ladders against them a self-supporting
double ladder made of two ordinary
ladders attached at the top has been
used. With such an arrangement two
men are required, and, owing to un-
evenness of ground, it is sometimes
difficult to set the double ladder. De.
vices for varying the length of one leg
might be used, but it is occasionally
necessary to use a single ladder.
A mechanical device for fastening
the two ladders together at the top is
suggested in the illustration. 1t is at
tached to each of the side poles of one
ladder and grasps the top, or other
round, of the other ladder, which thus
may he disengaged instantly and used
separately. The engraving represents
the inner aspect of one side: the two
