stunned In the country deereases. This
declaration finds color Of proof In the
recent report Of the commissioners Of

crease during the past year Of about
5000. 900 gallons In the consumption Of
whisky and Of l.l0a. 00l barrels in the

decrease TO the prevalence Of hard

more than made up during the present
year II his theory II correct, provid-
ing also that the reports Of prosperity
are well founded. In commenting on
this report the Milwaukee Sentinel
thinks that very likely the smaller con-
sumption of liquors il due to the cause
ascribed It by the commissioner, and
the liquor manufacturers may in that
caee look forward to . considerable i'm
provement in business. On the other
hand. 1t IL just possible that some other
cause has operated to lessen the con-
sumption Of liquors. and. II one Is look

ton for any alteration in business con-
ditions. It 10 hardly possible to leave
the bicycle out Of consideration. The
bicycle has been charged with inter-
ference in the affairs Of several lines Of
business.
Wherever there has been Z noticeable
falling on in the receipts Of business
man he has usually succeeded in tracing
the responsibility to the bicycle. There
fore it il not surprising to find that
the smaller sales Of liquor during the
Fast year are by some placed to the
credit Of the bicycle. The liquor deal
ers have not. 30 far Is We know. made
this statement. Il comes from . news
paper source. the Philadelphia Times
being credited with the discovery that
there is a possible relation between
the increased use Of the bicycle and
the decrease in the consumption Of
liquor. In celebrating this theory IL
says: 1.-THE bicycle is the enemy Of the
liquor habit for two reasons. It apFro-
PIRATES both for its purchase end for
Its use the spare money of the young
man that formerly went largely to the

SPEED RECORDS.

The Bicycle Beaten Only ~ the Race

Could there be great handicap race,
in which contestants along various
lines were engaged, the importance Of
the bicycle would be apparent. The
swimmer would travel over the short

signed as to give him three-minute
task, his distance would be PSI yards,
which II his record for swimming
Next would como man rowing. with q
distance Of S34 yards. A man running
would be the next highest, the distance
given him to cover being 1,274 yards.
Next the skater, with 1920 yards. I'm
mediately in front of the skater would
come the trotting horse. which is abls
to go 2,52O yards in three minutes.
A man ON a bicycle can travel faster
than . horse can trot. The record for
three minutes Is 2,s40 yards, q distance
only beaten by race horse and train,
and q wonderful pace for vehicle pro-
PEELED by the muscular power Of Z
human being.
The record Of the race horse Is $3.50
yards in three minutes, but that of the
train far exceeds this. of course. The
highest speed for three minutes by q
train Is five miles.

BIRDS BUILD HOUSES

And Thea They Oo0o901o Then II .
Really Artistic Maaaes.
There has Just been discovered BY .
government ornithologist . tribe Of
birds in the island Of New Guinea which
show themselves excellent architects
by building each for himself . little
house ON the ground.
OF course, the house that the bird
builds ID not an elaborate pile Of brown
stone or even bricks. It IL made merely
of twigs and pebbles, kept together by
the interw eaving Of the tall. dried grass
peculiar to the wild fields Of New
Guinea. But 1t answers its purpose
just u well in keeping on the rain and
sun. and no wind can knock down the
house. owing to the ingenious manner
in which the bird selects q site.
The birdshave received the temporary
name Of garden birds, owing to the
fact that they fence in little plot
around their houses, for no other APP
parent reason than to let other birds
know that the inclosed plot is private
property.
When the male garden bird takes
mate he selects some level spot in the
fields where he finds tree not more
than two inches in thickness at the
base. With this tree n center post
the bird builds his house Of twigs,
leaves, pebbles and grass. and when
finished it is cunningly wrought man
sion, shaped like bell. and with two
stories. In the upper story several
small openings are left to act as win
dows, and the ground floor has one large
opening which serves for entrance -
well as to let in the light.
When the house is finished the bird
erects a circular fence. two inches in
height, around the house. and thus in.
closes a plot three feet distant from it
at every point.
The interior Of each house II dec
grated with fresh leaves. the wings Of
beautiful insects. pretty feathers which
other birds may have shed. gayly-eol-
cred berries. and even the bleached
skulls of birds that have died in the
fields long before.
The gardens of the birds nre strewn
with wild blossoms, and when these
wither they are carefully replaced

PREJuDlcEs or ANIMALS

Their Likes and Dislilkes Are VeRy
Often Unaceoantable.
The likes and lislikes of animals are
unaccountable. Some horses take vio-
lent prejudice against certain men, even
though they are treated kindly and
though the mans moral character Is
fair. Between the cat and dog there il
a violent antipathy, which, however. ID
not infrequently displaced by mutual
respect, and even affection in excep-
ti0nal cases. The elephant hates dogs
and rats. Cows dislike dogs. and 20 do
sheep. for good reasons. But horses
like dogs and. what seems stranger. are
particularly partial to bears. On the
other hand. horses loathe and detest
caMels and refuse to be decently civil
to them after long acquaintance. They
even hate the place where camels have
been, which seems to be carrying race
prejudice to an extreme.
Evolutionists are accustomed to ex-
plain these instructive feelings as sur
vivals of ancestral enmities dating from
the days when one race preyed upon
tie other. This would account for the
natural cnmity of cows to dogs. for
when cows were wild they were obliged
to defend their calves from bands of
predacious wild dogs. But why should
the horse like dogs? It is but the other
day that the wild horses organized to
defend their colts from wolves ON our
western prairies. What could the an
cestral horse have had against the an.
ceatral camel Of Z million years ago7
Above all. why should the horse approve
Of the bear? It must be that the horse
has dormant sense of beauty and of
humor. The ideal Of the horse is grace
combined with strength. He disap-
proves from the bottom Of his nature Of
the hopelessly vulgar, awkward and un-
estbetical camel. The bear, he sees 1t
once, though clumsy, 10 unpretentious.
truthful and not devoid Of a sense Of
hnrpor. The dog he recognizes as good
fellow, companionable and unselfish.
He therefore forgets his ancestral pre-
dacious habits. A strong bond between
the dog and the horse 10 that they are
both fond Of sport, whereas q camel
would not go an inch TO see the best race
that was ever run.-Hartford Courant.
