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: 251 gallons per
inhabitant. 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. LIB
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.S6 gallons in Italy, are almost
identical with those shown for beer
by the United Kingdom and Germany.

Source Of Ivory Supply.

During a recent visit to the London
docks the queen of England was in
formed that the stock of ivory then
shown represented, on an average, the
annual slaughter of some 10000
African elephants. This statement has
been contradicted. One importer states
that at least 50 per cent of the supply
is dead ivory" mainly obtained from
boarded stores of African chiefs. who
are shrewd enough to put their COM
modities on the market only in drib-
lets. The most interesting part of
the letter is, however. the statement
that the great bulk of this boarded
ivory is obtained from elephant
cemeteries'-spots met with here and
there in the jungle. where elephants
have resorted for centuries to die.
Much of the ivory that comes to the
market may, therefore, according to
this letter. be several hundred years
old.

must see them alone.
Like a new lease OF life 1t came to
him when the last of the April days
brought the long-delayed summons to
the King. The old cniht. who consid-
cred that a command to military serv-
ice could be justified only by imminent
national destruction. was deeply in
censed when he learned that the call
was to no more than an officership in
the new body of Royal Guards. but
the young lord checked him with i'm
patience.
what throng of many words, my
friend Morcard, have you spoken!
Did you learn naught from the pali-

paid me their service when and now
they would?" he demanded. Now
let me inform you that | have got
that lesson by heart, and hereafter
no king shall have that trouble about
me. At sunrise | ride back with the
messenger" And he maintained this
view so firmly that his face was rather
stern as he spent the night settling
matters of plowing and planting and
pasturage with the indignant old SER
vitor.
But the next morning. after he had
set forth and found how every mile
iengthening behind him lightened the
burden of his depression, kind OF joy
rose phoenix-like out Of the gray
ashes of duty.
"If had continued there, l should

summon him, he followed with buoy
ant step and so gallant bearing that
more than one turned to look at him
as he passed.
"Yonder goes the new Marshal" he
heard one say to another, and gave
the words fleeting wonder.
The bare stone hall into which the
boy ushered him was the same room
in which he had had his last audience,
and now as then the King sat in the
great carved chair by the chimney
piece, but other things were so
changed that inside the threshold the
Etheling checked his swinging stride
to gaze incredulously. The knots Of
men, scattered here and there in buzz
ing discussion, were all dark-robed
merchants and white-bearded judges,
while around the table under the
window a dozen shavenheaded monks
were working busily with writing
tools. The King himself was no long

in velvet.

New Bread Making Process.

"The good housewives of this coun-
try" said an official Of the state de-
partment the other day, will be in
terested in report recently received
from United States Consul Mahin at
Nottingham in regard to a newly in
vented process for Ilaking bread, the
chief virtues Of which are that it re-
duces the time and labor.
/ "As is well known, most of the time
required in the ordinary process of
making the staff of life is in the prep
aration and treatment of the dough.
After that has been mixed and knead-
ed it must be left to rise, a process
consuming anywhere from four to
twelve hours. Under the new process.
it is said, that this new operation is
reduced to one hours time. The pro.
cess is as yet a secret, but is said to
require no additional plant or ma
terials, the desired effect being pro-
duced by the action of temperatures.
At recent practical demonstration,
the bread was made up into dough
ready for the oven in SO minutes, and
the batch of twenty-five loaves was
produced from the raw -four in two
hours and thirty-five minutes. The
-four was weighed and the number OF
loaves compared with the number pro
duced by the ordinary process, and IL
was found that under the new process
eight more quartern loaves than usua,
were produced from sack of flour. p

So Sebert of Ivarsdale went back
TO his tower unhindered; and the rest
OF the winter nights, while the winds

palisades. he listened undisturbed to
his harper; and the rest Of the winter

at his feet and raised at his knee a
face of sweetest friendliness, whose
fower-blue eyes frightened or
gloomed in response to his lightest
mood. Whenever this vision rose be-
fore him, he stirred in his chair and
turned his face from the light.
AS the winter wore on, he grew rest
less in his solitude, restless and sui
len as the waters of the little stream
in their prison of ice. He told himself
that when the spring came he would
feel more settled; but when on one
of his morning rides he came upon
the first crocus. lifting its golden cup
toward the sun, it only gave to his
pointless restlessnesC poisoned barb.
