The Goteborq System

The "Goteborg System" works like
a charm. Before 1t was adopted Nor
way consumed more alcohol per in
habitant than any other country in
Europe, but, owing to the "Goteborg
System" it is now one of the most
temperate of all lands. In other words,
only fourth of the quantity OF ardent
spirits Is consumed in Norway per
inhabltant as compared with the con-
sumption before the system went into
operation. The saving to the people
in dollars reaches into the millions,
and crime has practically been elimi-
mated. The death rate as the immedi-
ate result of alcoholism has dropped
from 3S per 10000 Of the population
TO 10.

A female alligator four and half
feet long, species Alligator mississippi

believes that the animal had travelled

OF the Canadian, and thence to the

Of some $50 or 400 miles west OF the
Arkansas Oklahoma state line. The
Canadian River is not nayigable, and
during most of the year Is only small

The alligator had been in the neigh

A Marifed Rebuke,

At the age of eighty-six Madam tey'
nolds still found much zest in life, anu
having retained all her faculties, she
felt that few of the physical disabill-
ties OF her age were of small account
and portending nothing. Her nephew
Thomas was a man of much worth,

which always reused the Ire OF ms

The Battle Of the Engines.

During 1910 il is expected that
strenuous efforts viii be made to i'm
prove the already great efficiency OF
the yas-englne. Although this form
OF engine enjoyed triumph in 1909
through the achievements of the aero
planes. yet it is pointed out that its
old rival. the steam-engine, at the
same time greatly advanced IN fuel
economy. achieving a thermal efiicien'
cy OF 10 per cent. figure hitherto as
sociated with gas rather than with
steam engine tests. IL has recently
been discovered that. owing to errone-
Gus assumptions, the gas-engine mas
not been credited with having ap-
preached as close to the theoreuc
limit of thermal efficiency attaina0le
by the prevailing four-stroke cycle "a
Il really has approached. Thus 1t has
been shown that a gas-engine which
by the old standard OF efficiency was
supposed to have attained 80 points
out of a possible 80. This leaves SO
little room for improvement that eH'
perimenters are turning their atten'
ton to radical changes in the method
OF operation which will AFFORD larger
margin for advance.

WIooiNs BROTHERS, HUNTERS.
Killed Two Bears, Two Deers and
Panther This Season.

Bill and Dick Virgins have been
taking annual hunts together for sew
enty-hve years. They are brothers.
Bill is Sc and Dick is 81. They have
made their home in Knox for many
years.
They returned few days ago from
their annual hunting trip to the Big
Thicket, bringing back with them two
fat bears, two deer and panther. De
spite their age they are still as spry
as the average man OF middle age.
Their hair is just beginning to turn
gray and neither OF them ever wore
glasses.
Bill Virgins killed the smaiier
bear. They killed two deer apiece
using up two OF the animals in camp
and bringing back the other two with
them. They do their own cooking IN
camp and get the keenest enjoyment
out of their outdoor experience. They
are also great fishermen, and during
the summer season spend much Oh
their time along the streams OF TINS
region angling for bass and other nsn.

selectIno bullets for Laying.

The only absolutely sure way OF
making selection for breeding stock
is ~ means of the data obtained from
the use OF trap nests. Only investiga-
tors and an occasional poultryman,
however, can afford the equipment
and the expense involved In operating
trap nests, but every poultryman can,
by closely observing his young stock
during the autumn, select the pullets
that are commencing or preparing 10
lay, and secure for the next seasons

function of egg production so strongly
developed that they give evidence OF
