Why Do Men
 DRINK?

When you stop to think of the terri ble results which come to men who in dulge to excess in intoxicating bever- ages, well may you ask, Why do men drink? The fact simply stated Is "A victim of the Drink Habit can no more resist liquor than man with ague can stop shivering." Drunkenness is dis- ease and must be treated as such. The wives and mothers of those, who drink intoxicants will be glad to know there is a remedy which will restore theli' loved ones to lives of sobriety and use fulness. Many thousands of grateful women praise Orrine for it's benefits. Orrine has been known to effect a cure after all other means failed.
 Paxson & Rockefeller. A West Park St. Butte, Mont, tell about case of drunkenness of 2o years standing; Read what they say""A gentleman well drinker for twenty-five years, stated he had been entirely cured by Orrine. We consider this a remarkable case, as this gentleman has been treated three diff ferent times at well known sana- torium. This and other cases that have come to our knowledge gives us conf dence in your preparation. and 1t gives us pleasure to recommend it to those needing a reliable cure for intemper- ance"

AN ATTRACTIVE COUNTRY.

It is reported that when the British battleships sailed away from New York after the Hudson Fulton celebra ton that they left 200 British taTs be- hind who found New York so attrac- tive that they could not break away, while it is claimed that only three men from the French ships failed to re- turn. There Is nothing strange in the difference, since men of the same blood are attracted to one another naturally, and in this country there is much which is inviting to a British sailor, for he finds large freedom and warm fellowship on every hand. Ma val men get the wanderlust and may easily become adventurers, and de- serters are common alike to all navies at times It is probable that many of them will return to Great Britain, but some of them may become per manent citizens, and it would not be strange should a few enlist in the American navy where they would be an efficient addition.

TIE RISKS OF LABOR.

When we see the workingmen with their dinner pails on the way to thelr daily employment, we do not think of the perils that they have to race to get a lean lfving-that on every working day in this country over 100 lives are lost
 The labor statistics for the country show that last year 35,00O lives were sacrificed in the line of employment and that there were about 100000 accidents. Most industries involve risks some greater than others. The accident rate of electricians is excess sive. That of coal miners is BIO per 1. 900 in the United States to 1.29 per 1000 in the United Kingdom rms proportion holds among the railroad employes. We lost 2.50 per 1000 to Germarys .sS per 1000. In other words we slaughtered on the average 915 more coal miners than England, and d.7s5 more railroad employees than Germany.
 The responsibility for this rests with both the employees and the employers and may be laid to the following causes: First, the reckless indiffer- enee and carelessness, united with an inherent dislike to obedience, that characterize our American working men. Second, the unwillingness Of employers to install accident saving devices, and to compel military obedi- ence to preventive orders.
 It is not to our credit to stand first on such a record, and both parties in interest should see that more care is exercised in the busy and danger ous walks of life.

The mothers eyes gleamed with ad- miration as they took in the picture. "yesn she murmured, it is perfect. Madam Lefray has certainly surpassed heyseif Constance, my dear, you VIII be the beauty"
 For an instant the girls eyes met her mothers, then, turning to the glass examined herself calmly and crltlcally. The gown was perfect. Billowing lace and cleaning satin showed off the creamy fairness of the complexion, the dazzling whiteness of the beautnui wearer's shoulders. The skirt fell in graceful lines from the corsage-a work of art in itself-ending Tn tram of foamy lace and satin, from beneath which peeped two tiny satln-clad rect.

THE FIRST AERoPLANE.

We are right on the verge of an era of firsts. It appears to be more distinctive thing to be the owner of the first flying machine in city than to have been the owner of the first automobile. Who do you sup pose will be the first flying man of Norwich? He must be a man of means and a man of pluck, of course, and perhaps he is thinking about this very venture now.
 Rodman Wanamaker is the first man to own an aeroplane in Philadel- phia, and 1t .s not of American make, but a Bleriot monoplane, built In France. Speaking of this acquire ment. the Philadelphia Times says;
 Until the news of Mir. Wanamaker's S purchase reached us we had no idea when Philadelphia's initial interest in aerial navigation would be shown. In fact, the appearance of things was that every other city was far in ad- vance of us in the ownership and op- eration of aeroplanes.
 "Every Philadelphian ought to be . proud of a citizen like MT Wana- maker, who is sufficiently interested in the most wonderful science of this generation to invest in one of the first flying machines on the market Aviation is still. in the experimental stage and by this purchase MT. Wan amaker becomes one of the experi- mentors.
 May he have many pleasant flights"
 The Bulletin might say as much as that for the citizen who first gets into the air in 1909 form.

THE ELM SHORT LIVED.

We do not think of the American elm as a short-lived tree, but those who have closely studied them say that the average life of an elm is 15O years. to 1000 years and more for the oak, and 2,50o to 5000 for the big ce- dars on tho sPacinc slope.
 The Boston Transcript, discoursing upon the age of the elms, calls at tention to the fact that authorities question If any vestige of root or stump is in existence of an elm or three hundred years. The rapidity with which the elm grows and the great size it soon attains blind the world to it's short term of life. To New Englanders the "old elm" is con- temporaneous with the old village, but when we reckon the age of our average old homestead, we find thar the elm which was generally planted some little time after the first settle ment Is little over two hundred years in age.
 By measurements it has been found that during the first seventy five years the annual increase ranges from about two to seven tenths of an inch in di- ameter. From this time up to 125 years the annual increase ranges from two and a half to five-tenths of an inch in diameter. During the third period the annual increase is only from eight to ten-hundredths of an inch. A recent measurement found a tree seventeen feet and ten inches in circumference. As in 1888 it was sev- en inches less, it can readily be seen that in twenty -one years it has gained an average of a little more than ten- hundredths of al inch in diameter.
 This shows that the only way in which these graceful trees can be kept up is by continuous planting, and that neglect to plant elms at inter- vals means the final loss of these trees to roadsides and parks.
