ject. Attached to the car is a long
pointer which moves back and forth,
at the same time scraping white lines
upon a revolving cylinder, coated with
smoked paper. The length and rapidly
of the cars movements, when it is
pulled by the finger are recorded in a
worm-fepce scrawl upon the
smoked paper When the angles of
these jagged markings become wider
the speed of the finger movement is
shown to be lessened: When the indi-
vidual lines are seen to grow shorter
the power of the finger to draw up the
weight is known to be diminishing.
First, while sober, and later while
under the influence of alcohol. sub
Jects are subjected to this test. 1t is
being discovered that after a man has
drunk from one sixth to two thirds of
an ounce there is favorable effect for
about Is minutes. After this paralyz-
ing effect sets in, and the ability of the
finger to lift the weight declines much
more rapidly than when Influenced by
mere fatigue. Repetitions of the exper-
iment while the subject is not thus
stimulated show that the total work
obtained under the influence of the
stimulant is less than that accom-
plished without it.
That the hand grip is Influenced in
the same manner by alcohol is being
proved by aid of a little instrument
closely related to the lift testers exhib-
tied by takers at our county fair and
amusement resorts. The palm squeeze

Alcohol causes the strength of grin
to increase just after the drink has
been swallowed, but this is followed by
rapid decline. The total of the
strength shown in an hour is appre-
Gladly less in the stimulated than in
the unstimulated subject
The labored breathing of drunkards
is measured by the same pointer and
revolving cylinder used in the finger
experiments. An elastic belt around
the chest of the subject contrast and
expands with the breathing, and this
motion is written down by the pointer
in that peculiar alphabet which 1t en-
ploys in recording all OF it's critical
analyses in our unconscious actions
These breathing tests are proving
that alcohol causes greater volume of
air to pass through the lungs Gener-
ally it produces deeper breathing, but
sometimes shallower respirations more
than compensated for by a quickened
rate. Especially those wines which i'm
part an agreeable. nonspirituous per-
fume are noted to give this effect up
on subjects sleeping under its influence.
Other experiments indicate that blood
containing alcohol does not readily
part with the oxygen which IL obtains
from air and food. 1t thus appears to
the experimenters as though nature

The young lover of real life and the
young lover of the humorous sketch are
distinct and entirely separate types
and yet the former has suffered be-
cause of the idiotic performances of the
latter.
The mother-in-law, the lawn mower,
the amateur gardener, the family cat,
the sewing circle, etc., have suffered
from the same kind OF misrepresenta-
ton.
Furthermore, we find it difficult to
bring ourselves INTO sympathy with
the feelings of one who is devoted to
near relative-that is, one of our near
relatives. We seldom select a member
of our own family circle 'as the one
who is entitled to figure in a romance
1t is somebody else's sister who is
deserving of attention. We discount
the abilities and charms of those with
whom we are too familiar. We like
them and, in modified sense, we love
them; we are loyal to their interests
and ready to defend them against i'm
jury or insult; at times we may even
praise them to others, but that anyone
should fall down and worship one of
our own immediate kin is usually in
comprehensive.

Every room in the house has a certain
ethical value. For example, as the par
lor is the room in which you entertain
your guests it should first of all express
a warmth Of hospitality. This welcome
should be expressed in drapcries, color
effects, sunny window seats, flowers, pic
lures books and all things that lend home
atmosphere to the apartment.
Then there is an element of utility that
must enter into a parlor. If you have
elegant furniture that is too good to use,
