Americans Temperate.

France drinks the most wine and
Belgium the most beer. The United
States as consumer of spirits, beer
and wine runs far behind most coun-
tries. The monthly summary of com
merce and finance issued by the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor
says
France shows the heaviest con
sumption of the most concentrated
beverage spirits, viz: 2.51 gallons per
inhabtant. The other countries. fol-
lowing in order of their per capita
consumption of spirits are: Sweden,
2.13 gallons; Germany. 2.11 gallons;
Belgium, 1.42 gallons; United King
dom, LIS gallons; United States, 1.3s
gallons; Russia, 1.29 gallons, and
Italy. "a gallons.
The figures per capita of beer con
sumption reveal the fact that Belgium
stands at the head of the nations, its
per capita consumption being $3.50
gallons: second in order is the United
Kingdom, with 35.42 gallons. while
Germany which shows the largest alb
solute figures of consumption in the
matter of per capita consumption.
takes third place, with 30.77 gallons;
the United States follows with 1904
gallons.
The consumption of wine may be
said to be concentrated in two coun-
tries. chiefly France and Italy. The
figures OF per capita consumption in
these countries. 34.73 gallons in France
and 31.86 gallons in Italy. are almost
Identical with those shown for beer
by the United Kingdom and Germany.

HAPPY CHILDHOOD.
Right Food Makes Happy Children
Because They are Healthy.

Sometimes milk does not agree with
children or adults. The same thing is
true of other articles of food. What

Col. Robert A. Pinkerton was talk

an ardent gambler" he said. He lost
his weeks wages regularly in Dinner
Pail Hankins' game.
"One Saturday evening the man
started home. via the gambling house,
as usual. A spasm of reform had
struck Chicago. and the place had
been pulled. The man tried to enter
the door. but failed. He walked our
into the street and gazed up inquil-
ingly at the closed windows.
Then he walked back to the doo-,
tried it again. but it would not open,
so he drew his pay envelope from hts
pocket. showed it under the door, and
walked calmly down the street.

craters on the Moon.

From recent photographs. the crat-
ers and crateriets of the moon are es-
timated to number more than 200,0 900
but less than 100000. White patches
in some craters and the bright lines
radiating in some cases hundreds of
miles are thought by Prof Pickering
to be due to snow. and the less con.
spicuous lunar canals, which gradual.
ly appear, increase and fade away in
the lunar day, are attributed by the
same authority to vegetation. thin
atmosphere of carbonic acid and water
vapor may feed the plants.

policeman's Laugh Stops Show.

One Kansas City policeman cannot
go to the theaters because he laughs
so long and loud at every joke that
he stops the performance. He was put
on beat where his duty took him in
side n theater for few minutes ev-
cry evening. and he asked to be
changed. because he said the theater
people wouldn let him stay inside,
even when he bought a ticket.
Before he was married he took his
sweetheart to show once, but at the
end of the second act the manager
touched him on the back and said he
would have to get out. He had all the
actors laughing.

How Flowers Attract Bees.

1t has long been mooted question
whether insects are attracted to flow
ers by the bright hues of the petals
or by the odor of the flowers. and re-
cent experiments carried out on quite
an extensive scale seem to indicate
that the perfume is the essential di.
rectiye agent. 1t is concluded that
insects are guided from a distance TO
masses of flowers by their perfume
alone, but that where flowers are
grown singly, insects are attracted
generally by color, and where the dis
tance is small the odor doubtless as
sists in attracting and directing the
movements of the flying insects.

vivid description of a man addicted to
this rocking habit who once, while
addressing an audience. found himself

singled it out to read to the class.
