absorbing several drinks they started
back to the hospital, each with a quart

the iron picket fence safely, but the tail

MILLIONS FOR WHISKY.

United states Spends More Money For

Americans are accounted fairly So
ber peopl in the hurly burly Of nations,
hut the figures of the internal revenue
commissioner for the last year are enough
to make temperance crank stagger

A conservative estimate of how much

which we paid over the bar 5000, 00o,-
600, or SIS, 1000, 900 more than all the
annual appropriations Of congress com
bired
This represents consumption OF 100
glasses Of whisky each year for every
man, woman and child between the rock
bound Pacific and the storm tossed At
lantic, or, counting only the male
adults, 500 glasses per year each.
OF beer the figures are equally as

In the neighborhood of 22o glasses are
charged up in this calculation against
each of US as our annual allowance.
Therefore if we do not average our daily
glass we may be sure that our nelshbors
are getting the benefit of our abstinence.
By estimating this years internal
revenue receipts from spirits on the

Glycerine as a Relief in Coushin,

A foreign medical journal is uthority
for the statement that a tablespoonful of
glycerine in hot milk or cream will at
once relieve the most violent attack of
coughing. This is simple, easily OBJ
tanned and harmless remedy, and il it
keeps good its promise will prove to be OF
great value.
Equally simple and quite as effec
tive is the use OF glycerine spray
through an atomizer. This is applied di-
rectly to the inflamed or irritated surfaces,
and gives almost instant relief. In at
tacks of influenza, colds in the head
sore throat and like troubles, gycerine
mixed with three times its bulk OF water
boiled and cooled, is an invaluable
remedy.
A little practice will enable the pa
tient to fill the lungs with the spray, and
the soothing and cooling effect is remark
able. Mixed with an equal bulk of sui
phurous acid, glycerine is an almost I'M
failing remedy for throat troubles OF all
kinds, and, being harmless, can be used
by all people. 1t must, however, be
freshly made, as it keeps but short time
after mixing.

The Turn of the Tide.

Now that so much of the West has
ceased TO be distinctly new country, and
presents in general the social and bust
ness condition of the Eastern states, the
idea OF migration thither offers fewer
ettracti ions to young men in New Eng
land, and they show an increasing ten
dency to try their fortunes at home.
This is especially noticeable in Maine,
where trade and agriculture are stimula-
ted by markets created by visitors drawn
thither by hunting and fishing and its
summer resorts. 1t is estimated, on
official aut hority, that the population Of
Maine is now -, 0OO-a gain OF 1000 in
four years-and the remaining years of
the decade promise to show even more
rapid increase.-N. \. Sun.

A Nonalcohoiio Thirst ouencher.

HOMEMADE DRESSES.
THE DOLMAN MANTLE AND HOW

The latest move Of Importance in dress
making is the renewal of the dolman CAPE
or mantle without sleeves. These are
made long, generally reaching below the
knee. They are adapted for evening
wraps, for the street and visiting, and
they are always more elegant and dressy
than any jacket for women. The jacket Is
better adapted for youth and for ordinary
wear.
In making three quarter dolman man

however, must be allowed for before the

the shoulder seam there is one fattened
SPACE that is inches wide and following
the two lines down is to be laid in a plait,
which allows for the opening for the
hands The width across the bust from
the marks, aside from the space marked
for the plalt, should be the size of the bust
from the arm size and should be easy, not
tight The circular line shows the rounded
shoulder portion. The width of each front
at the bottom should depend somewhat on
the figure Of the wearer, but good way
to get it is to pass tapeline around the
body where the bottom of the mantle will
be and get the number Of inches, divide it
into three, two parts for the fronts and the
other for the back.
The back part is cut on the fold OF the

at the waist line The center back seam
should first be scanned and pressed fiat,
these plaits laid in and sewcd down under
neat arrow heads The front rlait should
then be laid and stitched to the lining.
The lining of the front part should be mar
rover by the size of the plat than the out
side. The lining and outside should be
sewed together, turned and pressed. The
plait will then fall naturally into place
and can be basted and later stitched into
place.
The armholes are marked 90 and
should be cut and bound from the inside
The shoulder seams should then be sewed
together, and then the back and front
portions basted carefully, beginning from
the bottom. The back portion should
have been lined and pressed and the seams
basted firmly about two inches from the
edge to allow the lining on that side to lie
back and not be taken in with the seem.
When the backs and fronts are basted
together, the upper portion of the circular
part will be gathered closely into the space
left for it and sewed firmly to the shoulder
The lining all around is left loose from
the material and as soon as the seams are
pressed it should be felled down very neat
