The Charles Monsou Co had busy first day at their store yesterday, for their annual fall and winter opening attracted crowds of interested women who were most generous in their ex- prcsslons Of delight at the showing of beautiful things dear to tho feminine heart

UNGATHERED HARvESTOF THE SEA.

John Cowan writes interestingly in
the Technical World Magazine under
the above title, setting forth the
supply of food that grows abun-
dainty in the seattle various mosses
that are in such profusion and which
have scarcely been utilized by Euro
peans or Americans at ali, and yet
which contain great nourishment.
He states that in the Sarragosa sea
alone sufficient nutricious vegetation
grows to supply Europe with food. ''On
the sea beaches of the United States
alone" says this writer, enough pro-
teids (food stuffs) are cast up by the
waves and allowed to decay to take
the place of the whole products of the
northwest wheatfields. Many of these
weeds are composed largely of gelatine
and form large part of the food of
the Chinese. the Japanese, and the in
habitants of many of the Pacific islands.
To quote further: ''the only vegetation
that exists on two thirds of the earth's
surface is sea weed, and these contain
starch, albumen and sugar, and form
the sole food of many of the fishes. -
The red moss that is seen on the oys-
ter shells taken in the Rappahannock is
one of the many varieties of edible sea-
moss.

er the upheaval, there were left conse
quently huge army of men with hus
KY throats, standing far from the
source of the inspiring juice. Incl.
dentally, it was up to the manufacture
ers to take care of those who had sc
faithfully patronized them in the bet
ter days. With genuine American in
genuity the brewers set to work to get
out brand of booze that would strike
the twilight zone" between the real
''suds'' and Adams ale, and at the
same time passl under the scrutiny of
the law as soft"
From the start the venture was a
success, and now huge shipments of
near booze" are being hauled to the
depots with every trip of the brewery
wagons to quench the thirst of the
barren lands. 1t looks like beer, tastes
like beer, foams like the genuine, but
anaiyze it, and there will not be found
enough alcohol to keep it from lying on
the ice beside an innocent bottle of pot.
Then, too, there is nothing suggestive
about the names. The makers have
been very careful of that.
To indicate as closely as possible the
effects of these new tangled drinks it
Is said that bottle of ''Small Brew
will produce about the same exhilara-
ton as a small glass of the forbidden
fruit. 1t is not unusual in dry sections,
when the storekeeper asks man what
he will have, for the reply to be, ''Me'
for mine, which is as clearly under
stood as the request for stein in one
of the oases. Men drink the stuff and
smack their lips, and it is whispered
that if ones capacity is somewhat above
normal, he can reach the point of hilar-
ity under the proper conditions.
Though it passes unscathed the State
laws, the NEAR booze" does not fare so
well with the United States govern
ment- Uncle Sam doesn't pass any,
thing by that looks dutiable without
going through d thorough investiga-
tion. So sample bottles of the new
product have been fired into the reve-
nue. laboratory from agents in all parts
of the dry territory. The result is that
in almost every case more than a trace
of alcohol has been found, and the
brewers have had to fork over their
Federal tax, as they have to do for the
manufacture of beer. The represent
atives are also busily informing those
who are selling the stuff that they are
also liable to Federal tax. This inva-
riably gives rise to much argument, in
which the officers get the best of it,
and Uncle Sans full toll is always
levied. Dispatch.

LEARN A TRADE.

Sociologists declare that of those en-
gagged in criminal operations at least
75 per cent have never been taught any
useful trade or occupation, and have
turned to crime because of inability to
earn an honest living, this inability be-
ing due to lack of knowledge of useful
ways of earning a livelihood. On the
other hand it seems clear that juvenile
crime is rapidly on the increase, showing
apparently that something is radically
wrong in our methods of education. 1t is
an old saw of course that Satan finds
some mischief still, etc tits the man
or boy who cannot earn his bread with
his hands who drifts into crime. In this
day of diversified industries the thing to
do is to learn one thing well-so we'll
that there can be no mistake in the
matter, and stick to that One fact
that strikes the student of criminal
statistics is the vast number of young
people who aspire to be teachers, and
who crowd the market with that
commodity. Evidently all cannot be
teachers. and so those who fail to get
place and position are in bad situation.
