Alcoholism Among Animals.

C. J. D., of New Haven, Conn, asks the
New York Tribune Farmer" Is it true
that animals can become addicted to drink
like man, to which it replies:
Yes. In particular, the higher animals,
such as elephants, horses, bears, dogs, etc.,
have pernicious prediction for alcohol.
Bears and monkeys consume beer like Ger
man students. Owners Of menageries and at
tendants in geological gardens tell us that
elephants will gladly seize every opportunity
to get drunk. Some of these clever quad
rupeds are even said TO feign sickness In order
to satisfy their craving. This passion OF some
animals for alcoholic drinks is also well known
to certain peoples of Asia. Thus, certain
negro tribes avail themselves of the monkeys
mania for drinking to catch them by putting
in the forest a barrel of beer or some other
intoxicating liquor No sooner do the
monkeys notice it than they will gather about
it and get drunk to the extent of being lncap-
able of distinguishing negro from one OF
their own kind In this way native will
sometimes succeed in catching an entire herd
of monkeys without great difficulty. All he
has to do is to take one of the monkeys by
the arm and walk away with it, and he IS
pretty sure that the others will follow his ex-
ample, seize each other by the arm and &C
company him to village Joyfully, thouga
with staggering steps. Inc pairotS 'ha' n.e
in captivity not infrequently degenerate
through alcoholism AS they are very anus
ing in their intoxicated state, they are only
too often given more wine and liquor than
they can stand Experiments made by the
French scientists Mariet and Combenal with
male and female dogs go to show that the
degenerating influence of alcohol upon these
animals becomes manifest in the second gene
ration. The English scientist Tut expert
mented in the same direction with dozen
male and dozen female butterflies. The
latter distinguished themselves by perfect alb
stinence, while the former rushed eagerly
upon the liquor and got drunk to state of
insensibility If Walsh, who devoted book
to this subject, be well informed, the majority
of horses of the New York breweries are in
corrigible, habitual drunkards, and not rarely
perish through delirium tremens. Being fed
on malt, they gradually contract the passion
for beer, which they absorb TO excess when
ever the opportunity is offered them.

Mystical odd Numbers.

Three, seven and nine appear to have
been the favorite numbers all the world
over. The ancients had three fates, three
furies and three graces; Neptune trident
had three prongs, Jupiter's thunderbolt
three forks and Cerberus three heads. We
have three estates of the realm, a man
who accepts a bill has three days grace
and three persons congregated together
may make riot. Shakespeare was well
aware that he must have neither more nor
less than three witches in Macbeth,
and that the brindle cat must NEW thrice,
and our popular folklore insists upon three
merry men, three blind mice and three
wise men of Gotham Three meals day
is the usual scale of feeding.
OF more mystical character than three
is the figure seven, or, at any rate, 1T has
a larger number of religious applications.
Noah had seven days warning of the
coming of the food, and when it came he
took fawls by sevens and clean beasts by
sevens into the ark; the ark touched on
Mount Ararat in the seventh month, and
after seven days dove was sent out, fol-
lowed seven days afterward by another.
In Pharaoh dream there were seven fat
and seven lean kline, which Joseph inter-
preted to mean seven years of plenty and
seven years of famine At the destruc-
ton of Jericho seven priests bore seven
trumpets seven days, and on the seventh
day they walked round the city seven
times. after which the walls fell. In the
apocalypse almost everything is seven, ex-
cept the number of beasts. There are
seven churches, seven golden candlesticks,
seven lamps before seven spirits, the book
with seven seals, the lamb with seven
horns and seven eyes, seven angels with
seven seals, seven kings, seven thunders,
seven thousand slain, the dragon with seven
heads and seven crowns, seven angels bring
seven plaques, and there are seven walls OF.
wrath.
In merely secular matters seven occurs
frequently enough We have seven won
ders of the world, seven champions OF
Christendom, seven sleepers, seven wise
men, seven planets, seven deadly sins,
seven ages of nan, and our ordinary leases
are made for seven or multiple of seven
years.
But however mystically significant three
and seven may be, they cannot lay claim
to any such peculiarities as are the proper
ty of the figure nine. That the ancients
had nine muses., nine rivers in the internal
regions, hydra with nine heads and nine
GODS for Lars Porsena to swear by, or that
in modern times niue tailors to make a
man, or that possession is nine points OF
the law, are facts that pale into insignif-
canoe after one has sat down with pencil
and paper to investigate some of the spec
ial peculiarities of the figure nine. For IN
stance, if you multiply nine by any other
number you will find that the figures COM
posing the product when added together
will always amount to nine.

From the BOOKSELLER, New York.

There never was SO much advertising as
now, and the reason is apparent to every
observing student of the time-it is simply
that there was never so great necessity
for advertising. In fact, there is no sue
cess todayin the ordinary fields of business
without it, and the amount Of advertising
done fairly measures the success of any
business

dressing Mrs. Edrones.
After having enjoyed long and

closed and she gazed about her in
search of Mrs. Edrones, repeating
these few words
30, mama, where is Arnold ?

She glanced about the room, but,

in the pillow and wept bitterly.

from behind a curtain, where he had
hidden some time previous, unknown
to others, for he desired to hear her
first words, when her consciousness
returned, but, when her weeping was
audible to him, he could not refrain
from coming from his hiding place,
that she might know that he yet re-
mained alive, to claim her affections.
He had been quite ill since the night
of the tragical event and had
been closely confined in his bed

until now. This was the first tim 6
he had left his room since the night
of that awful scene.

Value OF the Exposition.

Charleston, S.. c., June 9.-While the
stockholders in tho South Carolina Inter
State and West Indian Exposition will
not be paid anything on their contribu.
tions, statistics gathered by the newspa-
pcrs here indicate that all branches of
business fiourished during the six months
the show was on. Retail merchants re-
port that their trade increased nearly 1OC
per cent and every hotel and boarding
house establishment coined money, the
amounts in most instances running far
into the thousands.
A statement made recently by the Con
solidated Railway Company shows that
this concern cleared 100000 net profit in
six months, after expending thousands
of dollars in building new lines and in
electrical equipment
W hen these facts are considered, the
business people begin to appreciate the
value of the exposition, and they still
figure on what might have been had the
attendance come up to expectations.
Very few reports have been made of
losses incurred in any enterprise estab-
lishcd for the show season.

WALHALLA, 8. c.:
WEDNESDAY, JUNE as, 1909.
Early Morn.

Written by Former Walhalla Girl
There is charm in early morn
That day has only while new born;
The bluebells, fresh, wet with the dew,
With hanging heads as if they knew
Their beauty bright, and would not tell
The other flowers in the dell.
AS you go through the meadows, too,
You find things there all wet with dew; (;
The butterflies, with wings so wet
That they will not try to fly yet;
The grasses green, with silver sheen,
Wet with the dews, are also seen.
The brook, with its low, ccaseless song,
It's journey may be short or long,
Yet it sings not song forlorn;
But sweetest sings in early morn;
In later hours a weary note
Is heard upon tho air to float.
Among the apple blossoms sweet,
The earth beneath your very feet
Seems laden with the odor rare
Which fills the early morning air;
The petals pink and white will fall
In answer to the soft breeze's call.
In early morn the stir of life,
In beast and bird, is ever rife;
Not only flowers, brooks and trees,
The rivers running to The seas,
The gladncss feels of early morn,
The brightness of the day new born.
The beauty of the early morn
Tho tpncb n yipp on Iov now horn
The human heart thrills through ant
through
AS Gods dear love we feel anew,
And whisper soft to Him above
Our praises for His MIGHTY love-

A Caus!ic Preacher.

The Rev. William H. Walker is
about to give up the pastorate of
the First Congregational church of
Wilmette, Illinois, and one of the
reasons assigned for his departure is
that the women of his congregation
do not like his personal appearance.
The brushing of his hair in pompa-
dour style, the minister alleges,
caused his trouble. 81 admit" he
said the other day, ''that I am not a
handsome man, and it is my expert
ence that many women would rather
see a good looking man than hear a
good sermon"
