WHERE DRINKING PREVAILS.
Patrons of Fine Saloons Take Little
 Liquor at a lime.

How can the elegant bars of the city afford to place before their patrons q better grade of liquor while charging the same price as the saloons in the poorer districts? is a question frequent iy asked. The answer Is simple enough, h the former drinkers never take a bath, as the saying is. but merely cover the bottoms of their glasses with liquor, while in the latter the glasses are none too large to contain the amount the patrons require. If you can tell me how many drinks bar gets out of a gallon of whisky" said a veteran of the white apron the other day, T will tell you relatively where his saloon is located and what kind of trade 1t enjoys. The average for a business intthe commercial and office center is from sixty to sixty-tive. If 1t Is patronized to any extent by the upper working classes, skilled mechan- ics, and so on, the percentage runs down to fifty. 4 fellow who wasn't posted might suppose that indicated workingmen were heavy drinkers. but It s just the reverse. The average up- per class mechanic drinks very sell dom, but when he does he generally takes a good one. The heavy tipplers are the chaps who take small drinks and lots of them, and a house that has very swell custom will get from eighty to eighty-f1ve out of gallon
 In the tough places and dives forty would be about the figure. which rep resents an average Of exactly four bfths of gill to each customer. Tn such establishments the glasses are often very thick and the inside is round on the bottom. They are deceptive and even if filled to the brim will not hold over one-half Of a gill, which would make sixty-four drinks to the gallon. At only five cents apiece that would mean $3.20, and as the stuff they serve does not cost more than s1 the profit is a shade over 200 per cent
 which ought to satisfy even a dive. keeper. If a five-cent house set out thin glasses with the black bottle it would be bankrupt in less than 8 week. s4@yr1 ?.

BIRDS WITH BILLS OF STEEL
New Guinea Cockatoos Crack Hardest
 Nuts with Ease.

A few New Guinea eoekatoos, a rare species in this latitude, have been brought to Chicago recently and have created much interest by their odd ap- pearance and actions. They are as large as pheasants and jet black in color. The bird is remarkable for it's immensely strong bill and the clever is as hard as steel and the upper part has deep notch in it. The favorite food of this cockatoo is the kernel of tbe canary nut, but there is wonderful ngentity required to get at it, for the 1s'1t IS something like brazil nut, but
 tsn times as hard. In fact, 1t
 es. es the blow of heavy hammer
 rack it. It is quite smooth and 5 ewhat triangular in shape. The eeeSatoo might throw the nut down, but it would not break, or it might hold 1t in it's claws like the parrots usually do with their food, and at tempt to cSush it, but the smoothness of the nut would cause it to fly out of the beak. Nature appears to have given the possessor of the wonderful bill some intelligence to direct its powers. for the cockatoo takes one of the nuts edgewise in it's bill and by a carving motion of it's sharp lower beak makes a small notch on it. This done, the bird takes hold of the nut with it's claws, and, biting off a piece of leaf, retains it in the deep notch of the upper part of the bill. Then the nut is seized between the upper and lower parts of the bill and is prevented from slipping by the peculiar texture of the leaf. A sharp nip or two breaks off tiny piece of the she'll of the nut. The bird then sefzes the nut in it's claws and pokes the long, sharp point Of it's bill into the hole and picks out the kernel bit by bit. The cockatoo has very long tongue, which collects each morsel as it is broken off by the bill. This is a wonderful process, for 1t is quite clear that without the leaf nothing could be done, and it proves how certain structures In birds are made to destroy certain parts of plants.
