Novel Medlcine Chest.

One of the most ingenious Of inven-
tons is the medicine chest designed
by an Arkansas man. With this
chest there is no excuse for n person
not taking his medicine on time or
for getting the medicines mixed The
cabinet consists of stand with two
little drawers at the upper corners
and a desk portion on top. In front
of the desk portion is a little door,
just about wide enough to admit
bottle, and inside is a series Of re-
Yolvlng trays. One of these trays is
provided with numbers indicating
minutes, another with numbers indi-
eating the hours of the day, and
third with ordinals indicating the
hours OF the day and night. Each
tray is divided into little compart-
ments at each hour, so that at a GER
tain hour a bottle in that compart-
ment will be waiting at the door.

A Greyhound's Gravestone.

A gravestone has been erected in
Newall in memory of Malsee, a grey
hound owned for many years by Cen
eral Houton, OF Portland. The dog
had a famous pedigree and was born
I'm 1894, and died in 1908. This dog
was a direct descendant OF the great
Master McGrath, which was regarded
as the greatest greyhound which ever
lived. He was owned by Lord Lur-
gan, OF ireland, and IL is said there
was scarcely an Irishman the coun-
try who did not know Of this famous
dog. Malsee was born at Fort Keogh,
Mont, and accompanied the General
through his army life during fourteen
years. He was at Chickamauga dur
ing the Spanish War, and many
Maine soldiers will remember the
dog. The stone which his master has
erected 20 his pet is inscribed

SWELLING TIDE OF BEER.
Per Capita Consumption Grows From
8 to 81 Gallons in Fifty Years.

From McCture's
Practically all the alcohol sold as a
drink in this country is in two FORMS
distilled liquors and beer. For the past
fifty years the per capita consump ton
Of distilled liquors has been about sta
tionary.
Because of the civil war and the fact
that great quantities OF alcohol were
used burning fluids before the general
introduction of kerosene, only estimates
Of the consumption of distilled liquor as
drink i'll the COS can be had.
The best of these was made by the
federal governments taxation commits
sion of 1865. headed by David A. Wells.
This placed the average consumption by
drink at less than a gallon and a half.
The governments excise commission re-
ports show the average per capita con-
sumption through the '70s to have been
l 1-3 gallons, through the SOS 1 1-3 gal
Ions. through the '9Os IA gallons, while
in the last four years, the period COW
ering the recent active temperance agita-
ton, it has been gallon and half.
Roughly speaking, the whisky business
has about kept pace with the growth of
the country. 1t sells as it did forty and
fifty years ago, little less than three
quarts of pure alcohol yearly for each
person in the United States.
In the same period the amount of al
cChol sold in beer has grown from prac-
tically nothing to quantity greater than
is sold in distilled liquor. In 1860 the
sale of beer in the United States was 5 %
gallons head: in 1903 it was 81 gallons
-twO-thirds of barrel The acohol
sold in this form was 4 little less than
a pint a head In 1860; in 1903 ii was a
little more than three quarts
Since 1850 the volume of this remark
able new industry has increased fifty
times: 1t is eighteen times larger than it
was in 1850. This growth of the Ameri-
can beer trade had constituted one of the
wonders of the liquor business-comment-
ed on In trade circles all over the world
The capital invested in it is over ten
times that invested in distilleries, the
value of its product two and a half times
as great.
Four-f1fths of the $4,000, OGO barrels of
beer made in the United States is con-
sumed in cities and at least three-auar-
tiers of 1t by the population of cities them
selves The brewing trade statistics show
that every man. woman and child in cities
of over $4,000 can safely be credited with
drinking barrel and two-thirds of beer
year. Largely by this means the popu-
lation of American cities drinks at least
eleven quarts of pure alcohol head every
year. while the population of the rural
districts does not drink more than four
quarts head. If there is liquor prob
lem in Amerca-which every one seems to
concede-it is obviously of the city, and al
most as obviously the brewery trade is
connected with it

Cardboard Takes Qualities of Metal.

FFUIH Iht SDffIgHeiu KPpuBIlcan.
An S-inch disk of cardboard revolved on
the shaft of an electric motor of highest
speed gets stiff, owing to the rotary ten
sion, which makes il behave like metal,
and it can no longer be bent. If struck
with hammer a sound emits like that
from bronze. 1t easily saws a cigar box
in two, similarly as a disk of soft iron,
when rapidly rotated. cuts through heavy
armor plate. Centrifugal force does many
other strange things. With others,
when small chain is looped around a
higli-speed rotary drum the chain can be
showed off the drum to the ground, where
1t bounces up and when struck acts like
ring of solid metal.
