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

Patrons of Fine Saloons Take Little
 Liquor at ime.
 How can the elegant bars of the city afford to place before their patrons better grade of liquor while charging the same price as the saloons in the poorer districts? is question frequent ly asked. The answer is simple enough. In 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 gallon of whisky" said a veteran of the white apron the other day, "I will tell you relatively where his saloon is located and what kind of trade it enjoys. The average for a business in the commercial and office center Is from sixty to sixty-fiya. If 1t IS patFonized to any extent by the upper working classes, skilled mechan- ies, and so on, the percentage yuns down to fifty. 4 fellow who wasn't posted might suppose that indicated Workingmen were heavy drinkers, but Els just the reverse. The apegage up- per class mechanic drinks very sell dom, but when he does he generally takes good one. The heavy tipplers are the chaps who tahe small drinks and lots of them, and a house that has very swell custom will get from eighty to eighty-ffve out of a gallon. In the tough places and dives forty would be about the figure, which rep resents an average of exactly four ffths of gill to each customer. In 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 five-cent house set ou. thin glasses with the black bottle it would be bankrupt in less than week"

SHE cHoKEp ALYNx TO DEATH
Arizona Girls Brave Battle with a Brute
 That Attacked Her.

George J. Manassa of this city, who has been spending the past two months at Kingman, Ariz., tells an interest ing story of a case of heroism in young girl that came under his obser- vation, says the Kansas City Journal. He said that one day while there ranchman, J. A. Carrow, brought into the town for medical treatme... a2 p Murray, years old, and his C. :e.::,.t IT years old, who were frightfully d eerated by the teeth and claws of SOIL animal, and the rough usage show upon the boy in wounds upon the arms, hands and the breast and shoul- ders. Upon inquiry he learned that MT. Carrow was wealthy ranch owner living about twenty-five miles north of the place and that the two children had been lacerated by lynx that had attacked the boy and had been strangled to death by the girl. "The boy" Mir. Manassa said, was playing in swing in an almond or ehard near the house, when a fero- eious lynx sprang upon him and pulled 4lG to lue STOuuu. A 4lle dHu oSatA struggle then took place between the little fellow and the animal. Taking the lynx by the ear and one leg he succeeded in throwing it to the ground and holding it there, screaming for help. The lynx was biting his hand in 6 horrible manner, but with Spartan courage he held on until his sister came. The animal had got the bet ter of the boy when the girl, with only her naked hands as weapons, gave battle. She struggled with tke in- furiated brute and, although he elawed and bit her, she never released her hold until she had it pinioned to the ground by her knee and death grip on it's throat.

THE CHTLD'S MIND.
Let Him Look Into Every Phase of In-
 dustriaI Life.

Expand the child's mind by showing from time to time scenes from all sides of life. Take him today to studios and let him see how pictures are made; next week to silk factories, to learn the poetry of labor, and afterward to a brick yard and an iron foundry, not forgetting the claims of great churches and monuments upon an elevating edu- cation. The alienation of city and country is a delightful stimulant. When .ravel is possible we should give the child glimpses of mountains and sights of the sea. and let him become ac- guainted with mountaineers and fisher men, even as he ought in town to know something of the ways and thoughts of the workmen, so that he may come to feel sympathy with all sorts of people and understand the merit of labor. Experience of this kind is worth far more than theoriz- ing in school books. It is not particu- iarly interesting to child to read that he should be grateful to all the people who supply him with his daily con- forts--to the farmer, the baker. the manufacturer and the builder. But when he sees how grain grows and is converted into flour; how furniture is wrought from blocks of wood and thread woven into cloth, the whole history of the objects about him is re- Yealed. The different parts of life be- come connected and he gets a sense of the thread of harmony that runs through it all. And he has moment of satisfaction, coming through a feeling of kinship with the world, which is more useful than gratitude upon general prineiples.-Florence Hull Winterburn in the Woman's Home Companion.

Two Fine old Oak Trees.

Raleigh, N. C., has the largest pair of oak trees in the United States, when symmetry of trunk and top Is ta- ken into consideration. They stand 300 yards north of the capitol in the spacious grounds of the 'see house" of the Episcopal diocese. There is practically no difference in their di- mensions. The diameter of trunk at the ground level is nine feet, and six feet higher up is seven and one-half feet. It is thirty feet from the ground to the first limb. The branches radi- ate in the most symmetrical manner and cover space of ITO feet in diam~ eter. The height of the oaks is ninety eight feet. Their trunks are not ir- regular or roughly buttressed They are red oaks and their age is estimated at 600 years. Their vitality is per feet

Like the Money Question.

A story is told of young man ln England. great chess enthusiast, who was SO annoyed at his failure to solve an apparently simple problem that he vowed he would neither sleep nor eat until the solution was found. He shut himself up in a disused room and was found four days later by his relatives terribly emaciated and out of his mind He spent a year in a 1unatic asylum as the result of his rash vow. and the problem remains unsoiyed.

COST OF THE CUP DEFENDER.
Racing Yacht Has Cost a Handsome
 Fortune to Its Owners.

Fortune to It's owners
 A correspondent of the Army and Navy Journal having applied to 1t for information on the subject, that paper answers that the cost of the building of the Columbia has been variously estimated at from $100,000 to $150,000, and for the Shamrock at from $150,000 to $20a ,000 It then adds: "A sum- mary of the cost of the Shamrock, based on estimates from various sources, is as follows: Construction and rig, $200.0o0; pay roll officers and men, including sailmakers and carpen- ters (eight men), for four months at average of $40, SIP 2,s00; provisions for men and officers, at $5 a week for eighteen weeks, $7,200; clothing for crew, S1 LOGO; for dry-docking twice. $500; tender at $150 day, for sixty days, 5000; tugDoat at $60 a day, for sixty days, $3,60o; derrick and lighter services, $500; lighter for storage of spars for six weeks, $500; freight for spars and sails by steamer, $500; pas sage for thirty workmen, triggers, etc, S5.000; total, $242, 600. If the special services of the designer. MT. Fife, and of Sailmaker Ratsey, who came to this country, are a charge against the ac- count. the sum would, of course, be so much augmented. Recapitulation shows that the Erin and Shamrock represent a first cost of $725,000. The cost of running the Erin increases the expenses to sS75, ,0oo."

INSECTS TQ IMPROVE FIGS.
They Have Been Introduced in Califor-
 mia After Many Trials.

mia After Many Trials.
 The larger part of our fig supply comes from Asia Minor, the Spanish peninsula and the south of France Those of Asiatic Turkey are considered the best. Certain insects of the genera b1astophaga and sycophaga which fre- caent the wild fig enter the minute ori- flee of the receptacle, apparently to de- posit their eggs, conveying thus the pollen more completely to the stigmas. thus insuring the fertilization and cons seQuent ripening of the fruit. By some the nature of the process has been of the fruit attributed merely to the stimulus given by the puneture of the insect, as in the case of the apple, but the arrangement of the unisexual flow CTS in the figs renders the first theory most probable. A year ago the depart ment of agriculture began a series Of experiments on the introduction of the insect which fertilizes the Smyrna fig; an agent was sent to Europe to obtain cuttings of all varieties of the wild fig and to send over the fruit containing the live insect. By good fortune some Of the insects succeeded in penetrating .ne closed flowers of the Capri figs and laid their eggs and really established themselves in California. It is now be- iieved that the insects will continue to breed and that in the near future fig will be placed upon the market which possesses the same superior flavor as that which has given the imported Smyrna fig it's present popularity.

The Term of Life.

Recent inquiries in England have led to the preparation of tables showing the full term of life' for man, and other mammals, based upon the theory that there is a fixed ratio between the period required to reach maturity and the total length of life. Accident, dis ease and so forth, have to be eliminat- cd from the calculation. According to these tables, only one animal exceeds man in It's full life term, namely, the elephant. For man the theory makes the average term about 90 years, and for the elephant something over l0O years. Next to man. in longevity, come the camel and the Arabian horse. whose term of life is about 42 years.

Are Building Up Home Industries by
 the Aid of Chicago Machinery.
 Chicago is building up a by no means Insignificant trade with Japan. The Yankees of the Orient" are quick to discern whatever is of utility to them In the mechanic arts, and as a conse- quenee they are supplying themselves with machinery for the development of their industries direct from the facto- ries on the shores of Lake Michigan. In the history of the entire world no other nation has experienced such remarkable growth in it's commerce with Japan as has the United States. Japanese official figures give the im- portations from the United States in 1893 at 6,090, 40S yen and in 1898 at 40,- 001, ,097 ven. Meantime her inporta- tions from England increased ffom 27,- 929,628 yen to 62.707,572 yen; those from Germany from 7,318,134 yen to 25.610,961 yen; those from France from 8.305,27 yen to 6,979, ,9S2 yen, and those from China from 17,095,975 zen to 30.. b23.8 yen, while the only part of the world which has experienced an in- crease at all to be compared with that of the United States is the British East Indies, whose increase has hecn from 8,679,029 in 1893 to 40,764 ,244 yen in 1898. Japan's importations have grown enormously in the last five years. In 1893 they amounted to 83,257,172 yen and in 1898 to PIT, ,502, ,166 yen. Mean time her exports have grown from 89,- 712,864 yen in 1893 to 165, 753,75 yen in 1898. Thus the exports have doubled and the imports have trebled in the pe- riod under consideration. The disposi- tion of Japan is to look to the United States for a constantly increasing pro- portion of its supplies. In 1893 the United States furnished less than T per cent of the imports into Japan and in 1898 14.4 per cent, while England, the principal competitor in the markets of the east, which in 1898 furnished 32 per cent of Japan's importations, in 1898 furnished 22.6 per cent. Not only have the producers and exporters of the United States developed in the last few years a disposition to push their sales in that country, but Japan herselk Is showing disposition to make her purchases from the nearest markets those of the United States-and has recently established steamship lines connecting with United States ports. Japan by reason of recent events is the nearest neighbor to the United States, aside from those whose territory is ac- tually ontiguous-Canada and Mexico. Her comparatively recent exchange of mainland territory to Russia for the line of islands stretching northwardly from her central group brings her ter ritory to within about 500 miles of that of the United States in the Aleu- tian chain of islands, while at the south her newly acquired is'gnd of Formosa lies within less than 200 miles of the Philippines. Thus not only are the United States and Japan neighhors territorially, but their insular posses sions combined stretch along the en- tire Pacific coast of Asia from arctic 10 equatorial waters.--Chicago Chron- icle.

Bryan on the Issues

Chicago, January Six hundred
democrats gathered In the banquet
hall OF the fremont House this eve
ming to observe jackson Day" IN n,
appropriate manner. William Jeh-
nings Bryan was the honored guest
and chief orator OF the occasion.
Mr.. Bryan, in opening his address
recounted the political situation a. ii
had existed at each successive Jack
sou-Day" banquet which he had at
tended in Chicago, and then, coming
down to later tissues, he discussed the
currency bill. OF this he said:
1.-THE currency bill fastens rs to
the financial system of the Old
World, and subjects us to all the dis
turbances which affect them, while
it places the control of the volume OF
paper money in the hands Of bank
trust, which will be as merciless to
the people of this country as Weyler
was TO the 'reconcentrados.' The
fight for bimetallism at the ratio oil
sixteen to one has not been lost. The
increased production OF gold has
shown the advantage OF more money
and has answered the argument so
often made that the parity could not
be maintained because OF the over
production of silver"
He declared that the republican
partv ia unable to enact and enforce
efficient anti trust laws, and that the
democratic party. when in power,
will meet the issue with plain and
positive remedy.
On the subject of Imperialism, be
said: 1.-THE question of imperialism
will occupy a prominent place in the
next campaign 1t matters not wheth
err the war in the Philippines ends in
the near future or continues until cleo
ton. The people must determine the
policy to be pursued in regard to the
Filipinos. That policy must contem.
plate the ultimate independence OF
the Filipinos, or their permanent re-
tention under American sovereiL nty.
II the islands are to be retained perma
nently the inhabitants must be given
the full hope Of citizenship. or they
must be condemned to the lot OF SUBJ
iects. Who desires to admit them to
share and share alike with us in the
destiny of this republicl
The entire policy of the adminiStra
ton In relation to the Philippines he
declared to be utterly wrong. His
speech was received with great en-
thusiasm.
