Alcohol Drinkers.

X That alcohol is consumed by most of the greatest English scientists, in- eluding those who are experts on the relationship of alcohol and health, was proved by Sir James Crichton Browne the famous mental and nervous special ist, in a remarkable speech he made at the annual dinner of the Medico- Psychological associations.
 Sir James said: We have at this table many of the highest authorities in the country on the alcohol question, and in order to ascertain how far they have adopted the extreme view on the subject have sought the assistance of the hotel manager.
 Of eighty-four diners only six per cent. have declined alcohol altogeth. CT. and 94 per cent have partaken of alcohol in some form. the large ma jority in several different forms.
 T recently dined with Sir Andrew Noble and eighteen leading men of science. including Lord Kelvin. and not one of them declined alcehol.
 Tn view of such facts it Is fake or obscession, or gross hyperbole to speak of alcohol as being a deadly poll son.
 Those persons who declare alcohol to be a deadly poison should also state that we carry in our bodies more dead ly poisons or toxins But these hu- man poisons are harmless-nay, bene- fciaf-in their proper place. and our great aim should be to keep alcohol in its right place also"

Pigs Tails as Barometers.

Milton (Del.l Dispatch to The Phila-
 delphia Record.
 The secret of Uncle Billy Warnings ability to forecast the weather has leaked out. Recently he has been able with an exactitude not equaled by the best barometers, to tell his neighbOrs twenty-four and sometimes thirty-six hours ahead what weather to expect. His predictions have been of great ben eft to farmers. Now it Is learned that he gets his tips from his two pigs.
 In dry weather the tails of the pigs have one curl. in wet weather two curls, and just before a rain their tails hang limp.

Paris, Aug. 17--A tenement house af- ter President Roosevelt's own heart has just been opened in the Rue Bel lard. It is a block of workmen's dwellings, which will be let only to ten ants who have large families. The building, which is one of several of the same kind, is not noly counterblast of race-suicide (which is more serious in France than in any other European country) but as commercial enter prise. to provide what Is badly wanted

country 1t could quickly be realized, but our changeable climate bars the way in England, apart altogether from the question of convenience
 The children would be exposed to serious affiictions before their bodies had time to become acclimated to all the variations of temperature that we get here. following so closely on one another's heels.''
 Walter Crane. the noted artist. who has studied children long and close ly. said of the ant-clothes idea: Tt Is leading in the right direction en- tirely, and the tendency in dress now adays is more and more towards the end. Many children today wear neith- CT shoes nor stockings, but are shod simply with a sandal which allows the foot to develop naturally. Clothing, especially if 1t be tight. can only re- strain and cramp the growth of the body.
 If this plan of allowing children to run bare in their early years could be followed it would most assuredly lead to the rearing of healthier men and women

Human h.ferencs Library.

EHllduGlPdlA AnGTlCdus At Downs, Kan, about zoo miles west of Kansas City, a woman at a tele- phone is the reference library for teachers and pupils in the public schools for many miles around.
 Mrs. D. E. Allen is librarian at Downs, and Is constantly called upon to furnish information. When she re- note Of the request and hangs up the telephone receiver.
 Then she searches among the 1,700 volumes of her library until she finds the information desired, and in a few minutes she transmits iL over the wires. strung along country roads to the pupil.
 It was Mrs. Allen who conceived the idea of putting the library and the rural telephone to such excellent use. an auxiliary to educational work be- yond the confines of her own little city. The library Is we'll equipped with reference works, and she is able to sup ply an abundance of information. whether 1t be history. biography. science, socioligy or religion.
 'The public library and the telephone are important factors in education." Mrs. Allen told the librarians of Kan sas recently, and they all became in- terested in what she was doing. Four years ago Mrs. Allen saw the need of library for the use of the young peo- pie of Downs. She started out alone, de- termined to have a library. The citi- gems became interested. Thirty of them subscribed for stock at $10 a share, and an association vas organized.
 Mrs. Allen declined the presidency. preferring to take up the work of H. brarian, and for four years she has performed her duties without a dollar of pay. Under her management, the H. brary, starting with seventy-five vol tunes, iii rented room, has grown to a fine vollection of 1,7O0 volumes, oc- cupying a neat little building, the gift of Andrew Carnegie. Helen Gould's gift t. the Downs library was 500 volumes.

MUST REFORM
 GOVERNMENT Leopold Likely to Re ceive Severe Check. TO SETTLE CONGO PROBLEM Winston Churchill is Coming to
 America. Noted Engiishman VIII Pay Visit to Native Land of His Mother to
 Study Prevailing
 Conditions.
By RoBERr BRopERICK.

London. August l3-klng Leopold of Belgium's blood and rubber. trade in the Congo. is likely to receive a severe check from England and America be- fore the end of the year. The Liberal government here Intends to have the Congo question brought to head, and the wrongs of the natives redressed. With the support of the United States, England will insist that BeIgium fur nishes guarantees to reform the sys- tenn of government and the horrible rubber trade, or abandon the terri tory.
 England has a great pull over Bell gium in the possession of territory through which sne rubber trade finds its main outlet. She will be able to use this, and her position as one of the signatories of the treaty by which King Leopold gained his pespotlsm ID the Congo as levers to force reforms out of Belgium.
 In Belgium there is a strong or ganization working for Congo reform. This is the Catholic party in the chamber of deputies, with powerful allies in the Jesuit college at Ghent.

 These will be welcomed in the new tenements. where, indeed no childless families will be allowed to rent rooms. No tenant will be quick to complain about the youngsters. since everyone will have their own.
 OneSsuch childrens tenement which has been running since 1902 has 510 inhabitants--mostly children. No fam fly is allowed to live there unless there are three or more children. Four of the families in this building have nine children, and there are many other big broods, The rent of an apartment is less than s10O year.

A Famous Dungeon.

American visitors to Paris will have one more object of great historical in- terest to visit and one more museum added to the many that engage their attention This Is the famous dun gecn attached to the castle at Vim cennes in the East of Paris--how fa- nous it is visitors and strangers do not know, because it has for centuries been kept strictly for military purposes. no visitors ever being allowed in it.
 These restrictions are now to be re- moved and the public to be admitted to the dungeon which is being transform ed into museum The dungeon was built by Charles V for the purpose of lmprisoning his disgraced favorites and others. and its preservation from the public all this time has had his bene- fcial effect, that it has been preserved almost entirely intact.
 The cells in which famous prisoners were kept--one of which is that of Mir abeau. in the time of Louis xVI--may be seen practically in the same condi- tions as they were when their melan- choly tenants lived in them The dun geon of Vincennes ranks as one of the architectural wonders If France.

Winston Churchill. under secretary for the Colonies, and eldest son of Mrs. George Cornwallis- West. may be expected to visit his mothers native country this fall.
 He is going to make tour in Cam ada, to study the conditions prevail ing in the most important of Britain's colonies. and probably he will not re- sist the temptation to see the United States. As he is unmarried. he may possibly select wife from among the American girls he meets.

Employ only crlppIes.


 cnly crippled girls are employed in an electric lamp factory which has just been set going in the East End. under the patronage of the Lord May or of London
 Lord Mayor Tre1oar has always been the guardian angel" of London's crip- pied children. raising funds every year for their Christmas dinner, and frightening their lives in many ways. This new factory. however, is a com mercial enterprise as well as an aid to poor and helpless girls. Forty of them are now engaged learning the trade. and it is expected that when the business Is in full swing. there will be 300 crippled girls employed. each earning $3 a week and her meals.
 An important new invention is to be manufactured at the crippled girls factory. It is the use of enamelled cop per wire instead of platinum in electric lamps-the invention Of a young Eng lishman, George Calvert. This means a revelation in electric lamp manu- facture, as platinum is now sold at $40 an ounce.

The .summer nfuff.v

Queen Alexandra has created the Summer huff" which has now become the reigning fashion among society women at the summer resorts.
 The summer huff is a dainty affair made of feathers. chiffon, glowers. or tulle. and 1t must form one of a set consisting of toque, ruffle, and huff all matching. A pocket to hold purse and handkerchief makes the summer huff a utility as we'll as an ornament.
 One of the prettiest designs is the flower petal' set of toque. huff and ruffle. The articles are composed of tulle, over which the petals of artifi- cial flowers are scattered and caught by a single thread.
 N The tulle and petals are always in contrasting shades--for instance apple blossom petals on lavender -colored tulle. or apricot tnlle sewn with the petals of white roses.
