POPULAR RUSSIAN DRINK
Vodka, the Muscovite Firewater, Is
Nearly Three-Quarters
Pure Alcohol

Vodka is the popular Russian drink.
It is to the Museovite what firewater
used to be to the aboriginal Indian. It
provides him with courage when all
else fails and he will fight to the death
for it. There are eight vodka distil-
leries In the new town of Harbin, the
center of Russian Industrial and COM
mercial development in Nanchuria, and
the Inhabitants drink vast quantities
Of the product. Forty-six thousand
men are in Harbin. At least 10000
drink vodka. The daily consumption
Is 5000 gallons, or about ,three-flfths Of
q pint each. That would make for ev-
cry man about five good drams--noth-
ing at all but for the fact that vodka
is about 145 proof; that is, In each 100
gallons there are 7254 gallons Of pure
alcohol. Vodka Is as strong as schli-
vowitz, three drinks of which will
knock a man silly. For comparison,
most OF the American whisky sold over
the bar is from 80 to 80 proof.

WORST OF NUISANCES.
as a Martyr Is the Most Dis
agreeable OF Her Sex.

Of all the disagreeable types Of woman
kind, the one who regards herself as a
martyr is the most Objectionable, for the
simple reason that she has nothing in
the world to worry about, and is fraud
Of the deepest dye, reveling in imaginary
diseases and phantom ills that never
cross the shadow Of her life's door
SILL -
She is generally q woman with plenty
Of time hanging heavily on her hands.
and is always sick or wrong. II 1t is not
j. disease that has wasted her form away
she goes about carrying secret sorrow
with her, and II one would but believe
all she says It would seem that she were
. victim Of all tho doleful episodes that
could be imagined.
Such people need waking up. Give
them q purpose In life, and the nls and
worries will vanish in tho background.
Work will do more for them than all the
bottles Of medicine which they % assid-
uously swallow, and when life assumes
brighter prospects their friends will
be pleased to listen to what they say.
for 1t will then be untineed by any
cloud formed BY diseased imagination.
When such people cannot be interested
in the AFFAIRS Of others present them with
something that viii iaterest them In a

MAKING THE ARMY USEFUL
Agricultural Paper Suggests Em-
ploymsnt Of Idle Soldiers in Con-
struetion Of Highways.

Gea. Miles has been developing 4
scheme whereby the army when not in
service, which is most OF the time, may
be relieved of the monotony of a life with
nothing to do but eat and sleep, and at
the same time be Of some practical use
to the country. He proposes that they
be supplied with modern road machinery
and set to improving the roads Of the
country. There is much good hard sense
In this proposition. There has recently
been consid cradle effort made to restore
to the soldier the privileges of the can
teen on the ground that In his enforced
ldleness there were other and worse
evils, which were liable to take possess
sion of his time when the canteen was

full, and Will Make a Pretty s}
Gift for Anybody. ss4s

A thistle pin-ball is novelty. The ma

three thistles), small piece Of green
velvet, some wire or rubber flowerstsns,
and three-fourths Of yard Of either
green or lilac ribbon for bow. Cut the
ribbon into three pieces. and cut the cord

years to her looks.

years to her looks. ..-
A vacant mind gazes abstractedly
through the lack-luster eyes of the girl
who is too lazy even to think, and adds
still further to her prematurely aged and
world-worn appearance.
Her heart and lungs get lazy, too; her
circulation is barely brisk enough to keep
things going-hence she is often a
martyr to cold feet and an overheated
nose-and she is apt to be scant of breath.
, Thus she becomes sort of bad carica
/ ture Of old age; she has all it's defects
with none Of its redeeming qualities.
| If the lazy girl would keep her girlish
looks she must lose her laziness, for
laziness and girlishness do not form an
enduring partnership She must exercise
both her body and her mind in rational
manner
1t is matter Of everyday observation
that 1t is the brisk, bustling women of
business or of society who longest retain
| their youthful charm. 1t is the thinkers
! md workers who retain their powers of
i fascination when the drones have long
since laid themselves, or been laid, on
| the shelf.
That is striking phrase, 1.-THE Joy of
living" 1t is q JOY that the lazy girl
can seldom feel, for it is only known to
those girls who use life rightly and who
will go through fire and water to realize
their high ambitions A healthy life is
q perpetual Joy, and it can be healthy
only II it 10 full OF constant striving and
doing. EF-s
The lazy girl must set her bodily tenn
pie in order. She may not have motor,
q carriage, a bicycle, or horse, but she
can always use her feet She must walk,
and walk with q will and with a purpose
in view. She should adopt a hobby, no
matter what; painting, music, poultry
keeping, rowing-anything, in short.
that will give her bodily and mental en-
ployment.

taken of from slaughtered horses 90:
those which have died by disease or per

Advance in Land Values.

The advance in land values has beeaa
very marked during the past six years
Good agricultural lands are steadily In
creasing in price, and there is no pfoe
pect Of a reduction or decline. Our
population increases steadily, whifas
there can never be any more acres 0fs
land on the earth's surface than 60
present. 1t annually requires more a.
farm products to feed the increastne
population, and prices must thereforasi

It is true that q Quarrelsome or bad

that the unlucky possessor Of an tlncon-
trolled temper can easily drive TO ruin.
