People Who Live Longest.

From statistics 1t is learned that the
longest-lived people of the world are the
Norwegians. They are temperate and
simple in their habits and preserve in
great vigor their digestive powers, which
is most necessary in the maintenance of
good health. The American usually lives
so fast that the stomach is neglected UNI
til his health is completely Undermined
and he finds himself gradually getting
weaker and weaker. II you are one of
these sufferers we offer you a medicine
that will strengthen your stomach and
start you anew on health's pathway, and
that is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. IT
will cure f~latulency, indigestion, dyspep-
STA, constipation, insomnia, chills and ma
fever and ague. Don't fail to try

The story which comes from Eureka
county of two armed parties of men who
are in that section, with the supposed
intention of robbing a bank or train, Is
not entitled to much consideration by the
authorities. Such desperadoes do not
travel through the country with brass
bands when they nave on foot an en-
terprise such as holding up a bank or
train. Due investigation woul probably
develop that the heavily armed parties
are composed of Eastern experts who are
looking for lost mines along the railroad
track. The only apparent duty of the
authorities would be to deprive the mine
hunters of their guns, so as to prevent
the infection of injury upon themselves.

The Examiner portests against Presi-
dent Roosevelt sending Whitelaw Reid
as the official representative of the Unit
ed States at the coronation of King Ed
ward in knee breeches, toy sword and
cooked hat. AS toadyism is the only pol.
icy which the administration consistently
pursues, the Examiner surely cannot rea-
sonably ask President Roosevelt to let
slip such a great opportunity for a dis
play of 1unkeyism as that which the ap-
reaching coronation offers. 1t is really
too bad that his official position prevents
the President from taking a strenuous
and spectacular part in the ceremonies
himself.

A Literary Kleptomaninc.

Among French writer's no one car
ried the profession of the literary brig
and to such an extent as Mime. de Gen
lis. In 1880 her evil ways brought her
into the courts Of law under very dis
creditable circumstances. Bout, the
publisher of a series Of manuals. en-
gagged her for the sum of f16 to write
a Manuel Encyclopedique de pEn-
fance." The manuscript, which had
been paid for. was on the point Of be-
ing printed when 1t was discovered to
be an exact copy of book of the same
kind published in 1920 by M. Dasscha.
/ do not find it easy to understand the
audacity of a writer who would perpe-
trate fraud Of such enormity or the
imbecility which would suppose that
1t would not easily be detected.
Another time she contributed to a
Paris newspaper feuilleton which
turned out to be a close reproduction
Of romance printed some twenty
years before Surely the poor woman
suffered from literary kleptomania.--

SOURCES OF KNOWLEDGE.
You May Learn Something From Ev>
eryhOdy You Meet.


One of the most useful success habits
one can form is that Of learning s0me
thing from everybody with whom he
comes in contact No information which
can be acquired is too trivial to be liz
uored
Constantly measure yourself with the
men you meet. You vii! find that every
one can teach you something which you
did not know before and which, per
haps. you would never have a chance
to learn again il you did not acquire ii
from him.
Daniel Webster once made great
hit in arguing a case before a jury by
repeating story which he afterward
said he had not thought Of Since he
heard it fourteen years before. But
Webster was always picking up some
thing for future use. His famous reply

ayered on the American continent, wat
largely made up Of little reserves which
he had picked up here and there in his
reading. from studying men and from
observation.

lected material for his stories by max

Charles Dickens got q great deal of the

Sponges grow In odd, fantastic
shapes. Some Of them have an over
growth resembling huge warts. There
are some suggesting hands, hats and
figures os idols. These are curiosities
and not marketable for practical USE
In trimming them into shape many
small sponges are made which are
used for children's states, for black.
ing shoes and in making paper. The
uses vary according to size.
One Of the largest sponges known

and some three feet in diameter. For
practical use 1t is worthless. but as an
exhibit 1t is valued at $1OO.
The best sponges are imported FROM
the. Mediterranean, although Florida
produces very fine varieties. These
vary in price from a cent to $40
apiece, although occasionally fine
specimens bring $50 a pound. The
best of these are used in surgical op-
erations.

Twenty years ago 1t was estimated
that 100000 persons crossed London
bridge daily. 10000 on foot and the
rest in vehicles. With the growth OF
| population these numbers have almost
doubled. in spite Of the relief afforded
by the building of the Tower bridge,
half u mile down stream.
| 1t has therefore become an urgent
matter to increase the capacity of the
older bridge. and it has now been de-
cided to accomplish this by means of
granite corbGls which will carry the
footways as projections over the wa
ter on each side of the bridge. This will
Increase the width of the structure

alteration which will compensate to

RUSSIAN VODKA
IS NOW TO BE PERFECTLY REGULATED BY GOVERNMENT
Incidentally Regulation Will In crease the Revenue and Primarily It Will Restrict
 Drunkenness.

Anna N. Benjamin in Ainslee's.
 M. Serge de Witte, Minister of Fi- nance, stands a political giant out of the
 uncertain turmoil of Russian bureau cracy. His policy, insofar as one may define it, is to carry out his own ideas for Russia'S welfare, regardless of the means employed. Like every man who becomes great in the sphere of national and international politics. his schemes are vaster and more daring than those conceived by ordinary minds, backed by wills of mediocre power. Americans know him best as the man who has been playing a game of tariff chess with Secretary Gage; Europe thinks of him as he who set the unstable Russian currency on a rock; but in Russia, his excellency, the Minister of Finance, Is social-financial scheme which is chang ing conditions in the lives of the lower classes, and which is known as the Government Vodka Monopoly.
 The two objects avowed in de Witt s mind were the increase of natural rev. enue, which was an urgent necessity and the regulation of the liquor con- sumption of the empire. Excessive drink ing is one of Russias greatest national evils; throughout the world drunkenness is associated with the Russian. By mak- ing vodka (brandy) product of govern ment factories only, to be sold in gov small number of licensed places, the tremendous profits of the liquor trade would pour into the Czar's exchequer. and at the same time it was thought that the evil of excessive drinking could be regulated in various ways It was quite patent that with an economically developed system, the first object would be gained. The realization of the second remained to be- accomplished.
 It would be impossible to check drunk enness in any other country by, a gov erument control of only one kind Of liquor. but in Russia vodka and tea are the national drinks. The consumption of other intoxicating liquors Is as nothing compared with the construction of vodka. The raw spirit is generally made from potatoes. though some times from wheat and maize, and as it comes from the distilleries it contains 80 to 20 per cent. of what is called raw absolute spirits.
 The second process is that the the rec tification of this material. which brings the percentage of the raw absolute spirit up to @ to 96. According to the scheme of de Witte. the government would not take over the spirits till after their dis tillation and rectiicaton by private par ties, the amount whi. each would be allowed to produce to be limited to the
