TOY CHALET MADE FOR THE CZAROwIT1
 BY THE CzAHINA.
 pert woodcarver. This ability is a re- suit of her German blood and environ ment
 As little Princess Alix, daughter of the late Grand Duke Louis W. of Hesse and sweet Princess Alice, "1 Queen victoria's favorite daughter, she was taught many of the crafts that it is deemed proper in Germany for all children to know. And 1t Is because of that ability. her deep devotion to her children and the inherent desire of the Germans "to make things" that the czarina plans and executes little sur prises for the five imperial youngsters of Russia.

Living on Ar.

A very distinct advantage about motoring is that 1t does not give one an appetite. Most open-air exercise sends one home as hungry as hunt CT; and If one eats largely in these days of strict regime and unrestrict- ed diet, all sorts of terrible things are sure to happen-at least are prom ised by the doctor. It is pointed out in a contemporary that while all the good effects of working up an appe. tite are produced by long drive in motor. yet the amount of food re. quired to satisfy what seems to be ones huge hunger is actually very small. The air itself feeds one. and air neither upsets ones digestive ap- paratus nor does 1t supply one with adipose tissue.

Consul Maxwell Blake of Funchal advises that some interest has been aroused in tbs island of Madeira as the result of experiments conducted by an Italian chemist. Professor Pa gisci. who declares that the juice of the fig under proper treatment can be converted into a wine of excellent taste.
 The professor states that its flavor is agreeable: that 1t is very rich in phosphate matter and almost wholly destitute of jamie acid. qualities that render 1t especially nourishing to in valids and children The pulp is said also to create a new food for milch cows and fowls. The fresh fg con tains only about 25 per cent of sugar. but after it has been dried and pre- pared for the making of wine 1t yields so per cent sugar.

shiver Nasure's Remedy.

At the football game the young girl. despite her sable stole, shivered.
 That shiver," said her companion. physician, lis natures method of warning you. It is natures proven tive remedy for cold.
 You see the shiver is an involun- tary rhythmical contraction of the muscles. and there is nothing like 2 contraction of the muscles for raising the temperature of the body.
 Thus when you shiver nature is putting you through little course of exercise to warm you up. so that you won't take cold or a dose of rheu- matism or an attack of pneumonia. When nature shakes you up in this kindly way it is your duty to help her out by moving briskly about for a while, thus making absolutely sure your immunity from illness"

The endless chain having outlived its usefulness, charity workers in cor. tain helds cast about for something new to gather in the money. One of them figured that between $500 and $900 could be secured from milo of pennies if placed in line. A roll of court plaster. measuring ten yards, similar to that used by physicians, was secured. and sent out in bits. In little while they came back filled. Then other rolls went through tho same process. and before month the "mile of pennies" had been secured.

When erewino eenan.

There has been no nation, no mat ter how uncivilised, that at one time or another has not made and used intoxicating liquors. The art of brew. ing was practiced by the ancient Egyptians. and later by the Greeks. Romans and Gauls.
 The Anglo-Saxon and English have long been considered pre-eminent masters of the art of brewing liquors. The ale made by the monks in ancient times was prized most highly, and ever since the production of liquors has been increasing. In 1885 there were 26 large breweries in London. which brewed 49.000 barrels of beer annually. Tn 1892 over s2,000.00o bar rels were brewed.-The Sunday Maga. zine.
