A recent traveller in Somaliland gives the following curious Incident show ing the Mohammedan hatred for pigs; "We shot two wart hogs, one a pardc' ularly big boar. Alan wished to keep the tusks. but of course none of the somalls would touch the unclean ani- mal At last a brlbe of 2 rupees h. duced the Mldgan woman to chop the tusks out with a hatchet Even then she would not touch them and with the help of two sticks, which she used like a pair of tongs, put them on a camel. Then there was a long dispute about the hatchet No one would touch it. It had been dehled. Of course this was pure affectatiou and playing to the gnIlery on the ayah's part At home with her native tribe she would have gorged all the pig she could get But it flattered the Somalls, and we march ed or. tbe ayah holding the hatchet al arms length as If 1t were going to bite her"

An of the Cloth For Them 10 Made
 From Cotton Fabric.
 All of the cloth used ln the binding of books is made from cotton fabric. yet one would not say SO on seeing the finished product. Some of it looks ex- actly like coarse linen. Other styles have an appearance of the finest kind of silk. while others have various sorts of finishes that look like leatheret can vas. watered silk and a thousand diff ferent designs.
 When the cloth comes from the mills it is treated in various ways to pre- pare 1t for the dyeing process, which is the most important. Different kinds Of sizing are used in the different grades. and after this Is done 1t Is ready for the color machines.
 These are really the same sort of ma chimes that calico Is made on. They are built of great steel rolls or cams chat are beuted to a high temperature by means Of live steam passing through them constantly. The cloth passes through boxes filled with the aniline color that the cloth is expected to be coIored with. This Is mixed with a starch paste and is spread evenly all through tbe cloth.
 The latter then continues through the steam heated cams and is finally rolled up at the back of the machine in heavy roll of the desired color The diff ferent finishes are given In a second process. The cloth Is passed through very heavy and massive steel rolls which have been engraved with the de sign that is wanted. Fine lines run ming diagoualy across the cloth will give a silk effect. and there are many other impressions that may be stamped on In this -Sprlngheld Union.

Alcohol In Medicine.

Our own opinion, which we have fire Quenty set forth, Is that alcoholic bev- erages are Of value In certain forms of disease and that their value depends not SO much upon the alcohol, but upon the yinous ethers which these bever- ages contain or should contain. No medical man doubts that intemperance in alcohol ls an appalling factor In the spread Of crime. disease and poverty. and lt is undoubtedly the duty of the medical profession to endeavor to stay the curse Of drink by every means in its power-London Lancet

 With the building up of the lungs through proper breathing there Is a metabolism of all the tissues and or qans go that. for most men, breathing exercises are more important than any mere muscular exercise. Not only the lungs. but an the internal organs are brought Into play by correct breathing. It develops the heart, stomach liver and Kidneys directly and indirectly and nourishes all these organs as they sbould be nourished by more blood and better blood in constant and regular circulation. Breathing, therefore. Is a sovereign remedy for our national dis ease of nervous depletion. It might well replace the countless tonics, stim- ulants and onodynes now so commonly resorted to. where results are nothing less than tragic in thousands of cases. Maurice Manning. NJ. D., in Yim
