To find a number any one thinks OF.
use the following method: Let per-
son think OF a number. say six. Tell
him to multiply 1t by three. Ask him
then to add /; then multiply by three,
then add to this the number thought
Of. The result will be GO. After he
informs you of the entire amount. you
strike of the last number, which viii

BY taking a long piece OF wood.
such as the handle of a broom, and
placing a watch at one end, the tick
ing will be heard very distinctly at
the other end.
BY placing garden snail upon a
piece of glass It will produce. by
drawing itself along, very sweet
music, similar TO the musical glasses
often heard. This sounds rather
queer, but just try 1t. and you Will
have music equal to the guitar.

INCREASE IN NATIONS 'RlNK
OF Distilled Spirits 1e5,ooo. 900 Gallons
Consumed. 100000 More
Than Last Year.

simultaneously with the announce
ment that our total population In the
homeland and its colonies has passed
the 1OO,000,O00 mark, comes another
official announcement which causes
a thrill of a different character. Ac-
cording to the figures OF the internal
revenue bureau. the fiscal year lately
ended has been marked by the largest
consumption OF liquors ever known In
this country. OF distilled spirits 1867
900 900 gallons have been consumed.
being 3O,O00,000 more than last year.
During the same time, 59,4S5.117 bar
rels of fermented licuor have been
consumed, being an increase o! 3.OOO.-
600 barrels. For many years we have
been gathering TO ourselves a vast
foreign population. For the last half
decade. our annual immigration has
averaged three-quarters OF a million
nj the port of New York alone. This
big army OF newcomers has brought
with 1t the drinking customs OF the
old world. and It will not be until the
second generation that they can be
hopefully cOnNeIteu 10 the uloueiH
scientific temperance view. Another
cause of the increase is that our gov
eminent still allows liquor TO be car
ried into and through dry states.
regardless of the will Of the people.
thus spreading the evil OF intemper-
ance.
These figures, startling though the;
are. need give no cause for discour-
agement. The increase. as We have
shown, is more apparent than real.
The fact remains. and should not be
forgotten. that nearly 40,0OO,0O0 of our
population are living under temper
anee laws OF their own voluntary en-
actment-a larger number than ever
before. Thus. though the evil itself
grows. the remedy grows at a still
more rapid rate. Scientific education
! in our schools concerning the nature
and effects OF alcohol must be pushed
vigorously in all the states. Our
churches aud temperance organiza'
tions get together and work harmon
iously for this common ED.

REAL MEANING OF MILLION
Some Figures Given That May Give
Significance to Greatly Used
Term-Distance to Sun.

these days, yet. though we are accus-
toned to employ the term lightly. the
significance of the word million Is
really hard to grasp.
II has been estimated that 1,OoO'ooo

due allowance of, say, three square
feet a person, would cover an area OF
6s.S acres, or, to put It more conven-
iently, let us say 70 acres; or II could

don amounts, roughly speaking. TO
6.54s, 900. Allowing IS inches to each
person. shoulder to shoulder. this hu-
man aggregation would constitute q

INDUCES CRAVING FOR DRINK
welI-Known English Eye Specialist
Advances New Reason for Whisky
Habit In Poor Eyes.

It is a queer theory which is now
being put forward In explanation OF
drunkenness. II you suffer from eye
-astigmatism-you run the risk
of becoming a victim Of the whisky
habit unless an eye specialist is con-
suited and glasses obtained to suit the
defective sight.
VERY many people who think their
eyes are quite all right are really
astigmatic," well-known English eye
specialist declares. and take no steps
to remedy the defect. The result 10
that they suffer from mental and phys
ical exhaustion, eliminating In In
tense headaches. and often leading TO
nervous breakdown.
They find by experience that
nothing alleviates these symptoms so
quickly as brandy, and. when the pain
becomes excessive, or the inability TO
work properly gets almost insuper'
able, they drink brandy. usually With
soda water. When the effect OF the
brandy wears of there is a reaction.
and the symptoms recur with greater
violence. and more of the spirit Is
taken.
AS time goes on a greater guam
tity is needed to stimulate the system
up to working point, and at last you
get to that state when a man can only
do business successfully when under
the influence Of alcohol.
That state, of course, does not
last, for in due sequence chronic alco-
holism has made the eye-strain SUI
ferer unfit for anything but a course
of hospital treatment, and he Is never
the same man again. And not for
one moment has the eye-strain been
relieved, though the results have been
evanescently deadened.
What should have been done, OF
course, was to consult an oculist, who
would have given a prescription for
spectacles. Then the victim would
have found himself able to work well
and only get hcalthily tired at the end
| of the day.
| THE fault very often lies not In the
individual eyes, but in their inability
| to focus properly together. The focus
ing muscles in their effort to remedy
this are strained. and in consequence
give rise to general fatigue.
II have had one interesting case In
point. A professional man. whose
work demanded mental concentration,
and who suffered from astigmatism
became so Ill that he had to undergo
an operation.
"Surgically this was a success, but
he did not recover at all well as re
CARDS his general health. and the med
ical man who attended him could not
say why he was so slow.
1.-The man in six months was, how
: ever, in his opinion. fit enough to re
: turn to work. But he was attacked
frequently by fits of nervous exhaus
