CURE SICK HEADACHE.
THESE FIGURES ARE QUEER.
They Seem to Prove Drunkenness Pro-
 notes Longevity, But Do Not.

From the London Daily Chronicle.
 A look at the following figures, which were issued by the British Medi- cal Association, is well calculated to stagger the advocates of the principle of total abstinence at the first glance. They find on reading them that the decidedly incorporate drinker appar- ently stands a chance of living more than a year longer than themselves, whereas an habitually temperate drinkers average lease of life amounts 10 about ten years more.
 The following are the figures in question:

ALABAMA COAL IS
 IN ACTIVE DEMAND
State Mine Inspectors Report Almost Ready - Weekly
 Output 180,000 Tons

The coal operators report a continued active demand for their product, especi- ally for steam coal. The demand for domestic or grate coal has not been so good the last few weeks on account of the unusually mild winter. The weekly production is much greater now than ever before in the history of the State, and number of new mines are being opened up. It Is a safe prediction to say that the output of the Alabama mines this year will pass the e-million-ton mark
 State Mine Inspector Hooper has re- ceived official reports from all but two of the counties in the State and Is daily expecting to hear from the~e. His an- nual report, which will be prepared this week, will show the output of the Ala bama mines in 1900 to have been approx imately 8,500,OOOO tons. an increase of about 100000 tons over the output in 1899 Since January 1 several new mines have been opened, adding several thou

bright promises of the early part of the last decade and the latter part of the pre- ceding one. While the actual production of Alabama increased from 1890 to 1900. the proportion decreased from S9 per cent. to S.6 per cent. The year 1890 in fact mark ed the end of rapid increase in pig iron production in Alabama The production each year had shown a heavy increase, some of the figures for the decade before the last being, in gross tons: 1885, 13S.SOS; 1888.

A Daily Chronicle representative, who called at the British Medical As Bociations offices yesterday, was in formed thet, although no figures have been prepared since those which were issued in 1888, those of that date crop up like hardy annuals about once year.
 Whenever inquiries are made con- cerning or letters are received de- nouncing these figures the association invariably refers its correspondents to the report in which the figures were embodied, and the necessity of read ing the context is pointed out. The report states that the average age furnished by the total abstainers is somewhat startling, for we find that it is not only far below the average age attained by the moderate drink CTS, but it is even year below that reached by the decidedly incorporate. It must, however, be remembered that the class of total abstainers is some what differently constituted from any of the other classes.
 The report then proceeds to draw attention to the fact that the figures relating to the total abstainers are largely drawn from the comparatively youthful limited number of deatIs was dealt with, and it was naturally among the younger people that the majority of total abstainers were found, so that. when the average age at death came to be worked out that of the total abstainers was materially affected by the fact that they num- bered so many young people in their ranks. The figures quoted above have nothing to do with the relative ages of the living. In the summary of the report the investigation committee ad- mits thet i've have not in these re- turns the means of coming to any con cldsion as to the relative duration of fife of total abstainers and habitually temperate drinkers of alcoholic liquors.
 The various life insurance com panies do not consider that a man shortens his life by being total ab- stainer Our representative was 1n- formed by the managing director of the United Kingdom Temperance and General Prevalent Institution that his experience had been that the temper ance section of his own institution showed much smaller death rate. Both teetotalers and moderate drink CTS pay the same premiums, but the former gets bigger bonuses. It is a significant fact that no life insurance company will insure the life of a heavy thinker.
 Another thing which shows how to- ,al abstainers are regarded in the in- urance world is the fact that such m old-establisned office as the Sun has not only recently started tenn perance section, but allow such per / lons as insure In it reduction in the premium of 5 per cent. It is hardly conceivable that this would be done the average age to which teetolers I've were twelve years less than that f a moderate thinker. Insurancce companies also appear to think that If a man is a total abstainer the chances are that he is, generally speaking, a careful liver.
 It is regretable to note that the figures of the British Medical Asso- citation have been used pretty freely (without the context of the report) by purveyors of whisky, who seek to make people believe that by drinking alcoholic liquors life will be prolonged.

 Chief Menteur-25 miles from New Or leans-was reached .n 90 minutes. Guns bag and luggage were tumbled out. A pirogue was in waiting, and in a mo- ment more they were being pulled over the waters between the low reeds for the hunting grounds
 Three miles away Rapho ran the pi- rogue into a clump of marsh grass. on the edge of lagoon. the selected blind helped Mime. Bernhardt out and drew the pirogue into the dry grass. so that 1t might be concealed from view. Then they sat. one at either end of the pirogue, waiting for the break of day
 At dawn the ducks began to pass. and Mime. Bernhardt grasped her shotgun like a veteran. Bangi and three fine speci- mems were brought down. There was barely time to reload when a numbering flock of mallards came along. Both bar rels of the actress gun were used, and she got two, after which Rapho took right and left, one with each barrel.
 And so 1t went till the end. There were sixteen ducks to the credit of the twain when they got back to the city-not a great bag, but an adequate one.

Magnificent Spectacle.

People travelling to the Pan.
American Exposition from the
direction of Niagara Falls will
get their first view of the Electric
Tower from q distance OF II or
more miles. From the river side
of the steam or electric cars, the
Electric Tower is seen looming up
in the southern sky high above
all other objects on the horizon
AS the tower nears completion,
the eyes of passengers on the
trains and trolleys feast upon its
magnificent height of 391 feet
and obtain on impressive intima-
ton of the mammoth proportions
and beauty on which the Expo.
sition is being built. The magni'
tude of the Electric Tower and it's
graceful lines cannot fail to i'm.
press all with the conviction that
when it is illumined by the thous-
ands of lights given life by the
transmitted energy Of the won
derful dynamos of Niagara, it will
be truly gorgeous spectacle,
SURPRISING in its royal beauty
anything of the kind ever erected
by man. 1t will delight every eye
that sees it. 1t will stir the hearts
and minds of all with admiration
for the men that conceived it and
carried the plans to such glorious
perfection. In every department
the Pan-American will portray
the progress Of the Americans up
to the present time, and when
people view the electrical splen-
dor of the Exposition they will
feel satisfied no matter what the
century has in store in the way of
additional progress, to have in
an age when such results were
possible Of accomplishment. In
these results the old and young
will find education and entertain
ment, and their admiration of it
all, which they will express on
their home going, will be simply
reflective of the wondrous cleo
trio effects.
