CLIMATE AND ALCOHOL.
Russian Physician Upsets the Time
Honored Theory of RUNS Eff
fects In Cold Countries.

A general belief is that the consump-
ton of alcohol especially in concen-
trated form, is greatest in cold climates,
and that its effects are less harmful.
owing to more rapid oxidation and the
more active life OF the natives, while
the neglect TO reduce the amount OF
alcohol in warmer regions is considered
one of the chief causes of disease
among Europeans in the tropics. The
researches of DIR. Sikorsky, Of Kief.
Russia, seem TO show that this is far
from the truth, says the Army and
Navy Journal.
His country is admirably suited for
such an investigation, for over a vast
extent of latitude from the White sea
to the Caucasus the Russian peasant
has for generations been testing the
effects of his favorite solution of alco-
hol (vodka) with vigor and persist
According TO official statistics, the
north Russian drinks from s.46 to 3.07
liters absolute alcohol per annum,
while his brother in the south imbibes
no less than 35 10 AS liters. Yet the
deaths from alcoholism show n regular
increase northward. being Is TO % 10
10000 in south, 40 in the center and
20 TO 10 in north Russia. Moreover,
there is a marked increase of such
deaths in specially cold years.
DIR. SikorslSy concludes that cold
greatly increases, even TO threefold, the
toxicity of alcohol, which, as is well
known, so far from increasing bodily
temperature, acts as a decided antither-
mic by paralyzing the reripheral ,es-
sells and diminishing organic metabol-
ism

Quick way OF Multiplying.

Everybody knows that learning the
tens in the multiplication table is as
easy as ''pie," and that the fives are not
much harder. But slight as is the mem
tai effort required in multiplying any
ne.aber by five, il may he lessened still
more by describing the multiplier en-
tirely and substituting n diyisor in
stead. This may sound paradoxical,
but by experimenting you will find that
dividing by two will bring the same re-
suit as multiplying by five, providing
you add cipher to the quotient IL the
dividend be an even number, or five, IL
IL be odd. For instance, you multiply
2,734 by five, the product is 1860. What
is still easier, divide 2,734 by two, which
is done almost instantaneonsly. Then
tack on your cipher and you have 49,

she was very unhappy, and pitied her.

And one day as we were walking down

One Of the Many Varieties OF sevins
Machines Made Nowadays and
In General Use.

II Is a more or less familiar fact THAI
sewing machines are used nowadays
for sewing many differeAt materials.
as leather, paper, canvas, carpets, RUB
Der. They are used for making butt
tonholes and sewing on buttons. They
are made of many types and in simply
hundreds of varieties for special uses.
But ii may not be known SO commonly
that there are many sewing machines
now made with more than one needle.
II first of these, two-needle ma
chine, was made in the early eighties,
about IS years ago. II was used by man
ufacturers of heavy clothing, perhaps
first of all by the overall manufacture
ers, making seams stronger by putting
in two rows of stitching. The utility
and economy of the two-needle ma
chine soon became apparent, and IL
came into widespread and diversified
use. Whenever two rows of stitching
were to be made a two-needle machine
was used. A familiar illustration of
the work is seen in the two parallel
lines of stitching run with perfect ex-
actness around the top of shoe vamp.
Shirt sleeves are stitched into the body
of the shirt on double needle machine.
the two rows being made in the same
time that ii would take to make one.
Collars and cuffs were stitched on two
needle machines, as were a great va
riety of these things, and later there
were produced machines with more
than two needles, the first of these
coming into use within five or six years.
There are now made sewing machines
with as many as 10 needles.
A 12-needle sewing machine simply
has - needles where the ordinary sew
ing machine would have one. Instead
of single spool of thread on the top
of the machine there appears there a
rack of IL spools. There are IL ten
sion disks. The thread from each spool
runs through its own tension disk TO
its own needle. There are below 10
shuttles, one for each needle. When
this machine is operated, II makes 12
rows of stitching, just as an ordinary
machine would make one. The 12-needle
machines are used chiefly in the man
ufacture OF corsets.-N. Y. Sun.

divorced women are hardly in my line.
No, there was no excuse for her, and 1t
was only my luck. You fell in love with
the right woman, and fell in love with
the wrong one-thats ALL"
A woman came down the corridor rs
he spoke the last words, tall, elegant
woman, in modish gown, whose gleam-
ing folds chung closely TO her slender
figure. A boy of eight or nine years
held her by the hand, and both looked
out on the world with the same eyes,
great, beautiful, gray eyes, at once
proud and sad.
As the woman's eyes met Frink's they
dilated suddenly, and he started with
sharp pain at his heart that caught
his breath.
How had she come there just then
the very woman OF whom he had been
talking? AS he started up Teller
glanced around and then rose also with
happy smile.
"Ah, Lucille" he cried. 81 have met
an old friend. Ned Frink. He must be
your friend, also. Ned, this is my wife"
The joyous pride in his friends voice
made Frink vince inwardly as he bowed
tremendously.
"I'm very glad TO meet Mr.. Frink,"
she said, calmly. How well he knew her
voice.
you'll dine with us, hope, Ned,
called Teller, over his shoulder, as he
started on with the boy.
THANK you, no. leave for Denver
In half an hour" replied Frink.
Then a sudden surge in the crowd
brought some one between them for
moment, and the woman turned 10 him,
abruptly.
The pitiful appeal in her eyes went
straight TO Frink's heart. and he felt
his own eyes grow dim with tears.
'IIe does not know" she said, simply.
''He never SHALL" cried Frink.-Chi.
