hind that the cameI's head, and his
neck and his carcass all complete. The

1t is impossible to confine the discus
sion to the merits or dement's of half
a pint of beer, but it is possible to show
that even this quantity does not i'm
prove man in any particular; but, on
the contrary, alters him for the worse.
Half pint Of beer contains somewhere
about one tablespoonful of alcohol
more, as a rule-and this is equal to an
ounce and half of pure brandy, i. e.,
two or three teaspoonfuls. There are
many who think nothing of half pint
Of beer who would think twice before
taking half q wineglass of spirits, and
who may, therefore, realize that the
said half pint is not the sweetinnocent
which some allege it to be.
1t can be proved that half pint of
beer can lower the temperature. of the
body. This can be tested by means of
special thermometer (such as doc
tors use), and the heat of the mouth
should be taken just before taking the
beer and a quarter of an hour after
wards. The difference may not be
great, but it shows that half q pint of
beer IS not too little to have some eff
feet, ard that this effect is to cool the
body, not 10 warm it, as it is common
iy supposed to do.
1t can also be shown that half a
pint of beer can blunt the senses to u
slight extent, though the person who
has taken it will probably declare that
he does not feel any difference. But
although this may be true, the fact
has been proved by special instruments
devised by me for the purpose, and so
the fact that the difference is not felt
tends to confirm the correctness of the
conclusion. 1t may be admitted, how
ever, that comparisons between the
sharpness of the senses at different
times are difficult TO perceive, unless it
is measured in some very delicate way
or other.
But the great indictment is that
present half pints create desire for
future half pints and necessitate the
continuance of the t.affic in intoxicat-
ing liquors, which has been the ruin of
millions, and will be the ruin of mil
lions yet to come unless it be ended,

A Dancing Lizard.

One of the interesting little animals
that live in far-away Australia is the
dancing lizards, known scientifically
as the chlamydosaurus kingi. The
queer reptile is about three feet in
length and wears a collar of bright red
yellow and blue mixture. He gets his
name from the collar and is called the
frilled lizard. He is not a bit pretty
and has way of jumping around that
gives one peculiar fright if one comes
upon him suddenly. Although this
frilled chap has four legs he seems tn
like walking and dancing upon his hind
legs better than travelling upon all
tours. He is as quick as lightning in
his movements and lives upon the in.

woods.-N. Y. Sun.

A FRUIT EXCHANGE.


Each local exchange has it's own
packing house and is responsible for the
packing and shipping of its own fruit;
it also receives direct returns for its
own shipment, hence loss in one eX-
change does not affect the revenues
Of another exchange, unless it be the
result of a default on the part of 4
purchaser or from an effort to protect
the interest of the entire exchange sys-
TEN. The expenses of the general man.
agement are borne pro rata by each
exchange.
The system is a perfect one, circle
within a circle. The modus operandi
is this:
An order comes from an eastern mar
llet direct to the state exchange head
quarters at Los Angeles. That order,
if large enough, is divided among the
ten district exchanges. Each district
exchange redivides it's own order among
its local exchanges. The superintend-
ent of the local exchange notifies each
local grower how many and what
kinds of fruit to deliver to the eN-
change packing house, proportioning
the order to the size of the various or
chards that belong to the exchange.
The grower then fills the assigned num-
Der of field" boxes $50 called to dis
tinguish them from packed boxes and
delivers them to the packing house.
There his responsibility ends.
AS the fruit is delivered it is carefully
weighed and stacked by itself, then
passed through the grader" where the
''culls" damaged fruit) are thrown out
and the oranges of various sizes distrib-
uted in different bins from which they
are wrapped and packed. The culls are
sold to local dealers for about 25 cents
a box. They are not spoiled fruit by
any means, but have perhaps lost their
short green stems or have a small blem-
ish on the rind. The culling process
is extremely thorough, for the exchange
is very eXacting as to the quality and
appearance of its product.
After packing, the fruit is again
weighed and scientifically placed in re-
frigerator cars. CA practical sugges-
ton to buyers-always "heft" an Or

to a representative in the east, who
either receives it or directs its destina-
ton while en- route.-Chautauqua

Taste and Smell.

Psychologists have long known that
many sensations ordinarily ascribed to
taste are in reality due 10 smell, but this
fact has lately been made clearer than
before by the Investigations of German
savants. Air enters the olfactory cham
Der, where the nerves connected with
the sense of smell are centered, both
through the nostrils and through an in
let leading from the mouth. In conse-
qucnce, breath of perfumed air mani
tests its odor not only when it is
breathed in, but when it is breathed out
For this reason we are sometimes de-
ceived as to the source of the pleasure
we derive from things taken into the
mouth. the agreeableness of the impress
sion being due, in some cases, rather to
smell than to taste.-Youth's Com
panion.

Kant, the German metaphysician, was
a singular being. The English writer
Thomas de Quincy made close observa-
ton of Rants personal peculiarities
and frequently dwelt upon one of them
with intense amusement.
Kant, amongst other studies in tho
art of taking care of himself, avoided
ordinary CATERS. He permitted no lig-
gture to be placed on any part of his
body, fearing to hinder in the slightest
degree the circulation of the blood.
He found it necessary at the same
time to keep up his stockings. Accord
frgly he had loops attached to them,
and outside each hip he wore a con-
trivance which may be called box
windass. Thesr affairs somewhat re-
senbled an anglers reel with a spring,
which secured the line at any given
point.

HALF A PINT OF BEER.
The Harm 1t Can Do from a Doctors
Standpoint.

Che Harm 1t Can Do from Doctors
Standpoint.
''Half a pint of beer won't do any
body any harm" SO said a broken
down, blear-eyed individual to whom,
no doubt, half a pint was not much
more than mouthful.
If there was but one half pint of
beer in the world, and no possibility of
making or getting any more, it might,
perhaps, go down some red lane or
other without any serious conse-
quences. But our solitary half pint
is a myth, and, in pleading for one, our
berry friend had his eye on a long Sc
ries of half pints, which, if one were
allowed to be struggled in, would
plead the precedent, and join the first
IN the region within. Hence, the ques-
ton is not simply to what one-half
pint can do or not do. Half pint to-
day means half a pint tomorrow, and
the next day, and the next, and so on,
day after day, week after week, month
after month, and year after year. Nay,
it often means more than that. The
half pint for dinner paves the way for
the half pint for supper; the half pint
this year often means pint next year,
or, in too many cases, half pint after
half pint, or even pot after pot.
Then, again, the innocent half pint
Of beer is the excuse for something
stronger on occasion-the glass OF
wine or glass of spirits. So, the half
pint is but the camels nose, and be-

A Cow Worth More Than a Man.

In the United States the administra-
tim OF the lev affecting the civil rights
of the citizen. his property rights grow
ing out CT the controversies between
man and man upon contracts, has come
to be regarded as of much more impor-
lance than the enforcement of the law
which protects the life of the citizen
All can notice that. The criminal Jaw
and its administration has rather fallen
into disgrace. That is especially true
of the large cities of the country. All
must agree that it is more important to
protect mans life than it is his prop
crty. II the mans life is destroyed, if
the assassin fires into his house and
takes away his life, is that not greater
deprivation than to deprive him of his
bprse or his COW, or even of all the other
property which he possesses? Now
why is this the case? 1t is largely be-
cause of the corrupt methods resorted
to TO defeat the laws administration, and
because courts of justice look to the
shadow in the shape of technicalities
rather than to the substance in the
shape Of crime.-North American Re-

TEMPERANCE.
THE BOY THAT DRINKS.

Here stands a boy,
Quite full of joy.
But rather fond of drinking.
So lend your ears,

And do little thinking.
What kind of drink.
Pray, do you think,
Do 1 delight to swallow?
Not beer nor gin,
They lead to sin,

Is such a treat

A Cancels Long Memory.

In Central park, New York city,
is a dromedary so vicious that the
keepers dare not enter his paddock
for fear of being trampled to death.
The other day, however, an Arab
dared what the park men feared to
attempt.
Three Bedouins, in their native
dress, visited the menagerie and
quickly found their way to the cam
els paddock One of the Arabs
spoke to the vicious dromedary in
his native tongue The animal prick
ed up his ears and grumbled in re-
ply. In flash the Arab responded
to his old friend S invitations, jump
ed the fence and spoke again. At the
camel's third reply he walked over
to the old man and rubbed his nose
against his arm, while the two Arabs
who accompanied him smiled ap-
provingly from outside the inclo
sure.
just then the keepers became
aware of what was going on and
made haste to get the man out of
danger. The old man kissed his new

for breaking the rules and went

One of the most remarkable rail-

line of the South Atlantic and Ohio
railroad in Scott county, Va. The
railroad apparently and in fact does
enter a cave or grotto and disap-
pears in the heart of the mountain.
The entrance to the cavern is about
so feet square. Inside of it the rail
way runs through series of cham
bers for about 1900 feet, when it
emerges from the other side of the
mountain. This cave tunnel is all in
limestone. 1t serves not only as
natural railway tunnel, but also as a
channel for small stream known
as Stock creek.-St. Louis Republic.
