Literature and Booze.

Five times as much money in 1908, it
is estimated, was spent for literature as
for "booze." Under this slang term for
drink is doubtless included all kinds of
intoxicants from cider to absinthe, and
under literature every grade OF
type in binding from reprints of Shakes
peare to the latest novel of Marie Corelli.
1t would be amusing, were it possible, to
see if the drink did five times the harm.
How much cognac, for instance, could
fairly be set against an edition of three
hundred thousand of new novel by
Hall Caine? How much beer would equal
in sodden consequences the seasons out
put of fictionized history Good books,
whether of the imagination or Of inform
alton. surpass in inspiration the finest
beverage ever quaffed and celebrated by
Omar or John Keats, but ordinary
books can not compare in efficiency as
evils with the common abuse OF whiskey.
Therefore, we take the drink expense to
be misfortune more than five times as
great as the misfortune caused by the
sum wasted upon what our esteemed
contemporaries cheerfully describe as
literature. Where drink makes crmi-
nails, novels make nothing worse than
idiots. England has just failed in an
attempt to prevent habitual drunkards
from being served with liquor. 1t would
be still more impossible to devise syS-
tenn by which habitual consumers of
adulterated or otherwise deleterious
reading could be protected from the
qualification of their appetites. There
is only one angle from which the literary
menace at all equals the menace which
is made by alcohol. AS publication in
creases at much greater rate than brew
ing, the time may come when the rela-
tive destruction will be much closer than
| five to one,-Collier's Weekly.

Noses,

One of the most brilliant essays on
nasology is the one which classes noses
not by origin, but by mentality. The
aauilne nose. for example, is the sign
of goodness, amiability and weakness.
BY that nose Louis XVI, was led to
the direst catastrophies. Let us have
commiseration for the nose that is very
slightly prominent. 1t is the muzZle
of a sheep and belongs to people who
are easily deceived. Distrust the nose
with the medium part elongated. Ihat
elengation marks the extent of desires
and the instability of appetites. Look
out also for the ferret nose, with lis
sharp point. always on the scent FOR
secrets. II is the nose of the inquisltor.
The devil-may-care nose Is slightly
turned up at the end. 1t denotes a
character without firmness. But when
you see a nose that rises from the
depths of the orbits and stands out In
bold relief take off your hat. You are
in the presence of the nose of think

Caring for Pianos.

"This is about the time of year when
We are nearly driven crazy with work, y
said tired-looking piano tuner to re,
porter. Everybody wants the piano
tuned for musicale, and most people
forget about it till the last moment
And besides being the busy season, we
have been having the most trying
weather.
"These cold, dry days throw pianos
out of tune, and besides that the sound
ing boards are beginning to split. l,
always surprises me what poor care most
people take of their pianos. Let man
buy an expensive watch, and he'll treat
it as though it were live thing. Blu,
people don't seem to realize what deli.
cate piece of mechanism good piano is,
Pianos are not so much affected by heat
or cold as they are by dryness or damp
ness. OF course, if you stick one end OF
piano up against stove or heater, OF
register, and let the other end come near
a cold, leaky window, it'll raise Ned
with it, but most persons are on to that
The trouble is the piano is too dry.
"You know the sounding board-the
life of piano-is forced into the case,
when it is made so tightly that it bulges
up in the center, or has a belly as we
call it, on the same principle as violin.
The wood is supposed to be as dry as
possible, but, of course, it contains some
moisture, and gathers lot more on
damp days, and in handling. Now,
when you put piano in dry, over,
heated room all this moisture is dried
out and the board loses its belly and
gets flabby, and finally cracks. Even il
it doesn't crack, the tone loses its
resonance and grows thin and tinny, and
the felt cloth and leather used in the
action dry up. Then the whole machine
rattles and everybody kicks.
"How can you prevent it? Easily
enough. Keep a growing plant in the
room, and so long as your plant thrives
your piano ought to, or else there is
something wrong with it. Just try il
and see how much more water you'll
have to put on the flower pot in the
room where your piano is than in any
other roOm.-DetrOit Tribune,

Brain Work and Longevity

In lecture on longevity delivered
before the Royal College of Physicians
Sir Hermann Weber. himself an octo'
genaran. gave official support to the
doctrine that brain work does not kill,
but rather the reverse. \ few of his
instances were Sophoclcs, Plato, Galen
Cicero. Motke. Bismarck, Mommsell
and Gladstone, 10 whom we might add
Hobbies, Carlyle. Spencer and Kelvin
The facts are that brain work increases
the supply of blood to the nerve cells
and promotes their nutrition and
health. Mosso. an Italian. laid 4 man
OH dalicately balanced table and
showed that the head end sank when
ever the subject did mental sum oil
any other brain work. The increased
weight of his head was due to the life
giving blood. The truth is that brain
work, as such. never killed anybody

"DO 1T TODAY

The time-worn injunction, "Never put
off til tomorrow what you can do to-
day." is now generally presented in this
form: "Do it to-day" That is the terse
advice we want to give you about that
hacking cough or demoralizing cold with
which you have been struggling for
several days, perhaps weeks. Take some
reliable remedy for it to-day-and let
that remedy be DR.. Boschee's German
Syrup, which has been in use for over
thirty-five years. A few doses of it will
undoubtedly relieve your cough or cold,
and its continued use for few days will
cure you completely. No matter how
deep-seated your cough, even if dread
consumption has attacked your lungs,
German Syrup will surely effect cure
as it has done before in thousands of ap.
parently hopeless cases of lung trouble.

uchoo.In9 . wife Indeedl"

A Detroit man who thought to please
his wife by bringing her an attractive
new magazine to read on the veranda
achieved the opposite result. :.
Milady opened the magazine, as luck
would have it, at an article entitled
"How Young Men Should Choose their
Wives" She has dark eyes and they
began to snap so that the man in the
case moved his chair back three feet,
and the temperature rose selsibly, even
behind the cool clematis vines.
Choosing wife, indeed" exclaimed
the little matron. "Of all silly, igno-
rant, insulting phrases, that's the worst.
As If a man ever chose wife or ever
will choose one! Why, women don't
even choose their husb6tds. It's love
that arranges those things, and no choice
has anything to do with it.
81 used to smile to myself, and decide
that the author was a school girl or old
bachelor, when I read articles telling
how she should be good cook, gentle,
economical, dainty and 80 on. But now
it makes me mad, for people persist in it
so. 1t sounds as if all the women man
ever saw were lined up in his minds
eve, and he mentally went down the
row, like a Judge at horse fair, and
weighed this ones pink cheeks against
that ones sweet temper and the others
good cooking, till he decided which one
was best suited to him, everything con-
sidered. Then the author of these arti.
cles seems to think he coolly and col
lectedly proposes, and she gratefully &C
cepts.
"As a matter of fact what does happen
is that man forms an ideal in his mind
and declares he will never marry anyone
who does not exactly fit it. Then along
comes slip of girl with round waist,
short upper lip, or bubbling laugh,
and the ideal bursts like soap bubble.
Don't you remember how in The Gen.
