Currants as Brain Food.

Socrates lived almost wholly on cur rants. In his days, as now, the grape was the source of considerable enjoy ment, and It's merits have survived to the present time. We all know the delicious currant. ripened and dried by the sun. Is no other than the an cient Greek grape.
 The people of his day attributed much of Socrates wisdom and knowl- edge to that particular food. Physi- clans are now inclining to the old be- lief in the currant and declaring that if person would'be vigorous of mind and body hs must eat all hs possibly can.
 It does not matter whether you eat them In jeiiies. preserves. raw. in pie. or In biscuit-they are entrants just the same. and their effect is just as beneficial in whatever form.

Strength of Jet of Water.

A factory in Grenooie, France. util. ises the water of reserveir situated In the mountains at height of 200 yards. The water reaches the factory through a vertical tube of the same length. with a diameter of consider. ably less than an inch. the Jet being used to move turbine. Experiments have showed that the strongest men cannot cut the Jet with the best-tem. pered sword: and in some instances the blade has been broken into frag- ments without deiecting a drop of wa ter. and with as much violence as a pane of glass may be shattered by a blow from an iron bar It has been calculated that a Jet of water a small fraction of an inch in thickness. nov ing with sufficient velocity, could not be cut by a rihe bullet

Some years ago. according to an anscdotist of the time, the Grand Duke Michael of Russia. visiting Paris cbanced to dine in the company of Rosa Bonheur the great animal painter.

WHISKY WORSE THAN OPIUM
Missionary Explains Why There Ia More Crime in America Than in
 Heather China.

There Is ten times less crime in heathen China than in Christian Amer ica,' said missionary. That Is to say, a Chinese city of 1000. 900 popula- ton will require no larger prisons and no more police than our American city of 100000 population. And the cause of this is vice.
 Yes. vice is the cause of the su- perior virtue of the Chinese. They you see, smoke opium That is their national vice. the opium pipe. And this vice calnis them, makes them sleep. Sleeping, they d6 no harm.
 Our national vice, also, is alcohol Alcohol, unlike opium, excites and ex- asperates. Crazed with alcohol, men commit all kinds of horrible crimes. While the Chinese opium slave lies happily sleeping, the American whisky slave is beating his wife. or bludgeon- ing policeman. or murdering his star boarder.
 And that's why it is that ten Amer jeans are arrested to one Chinese"

anI.ed states' War With France.

There was war between this coun. 0y and France soon after the adop- tion of the Constitution. caused by French depredations upon our com. merce. For three years. from 1I9S to 1900. there was practically a state of war between the two countries. al- though war vas never officially de- clared by either side. The United States government sent several war ships out on the ocean. between which and the French war vessels there were several pitched battles. notably that between the Constellation and the lnsurgente. in which the Ameri- can ship won a famous victory" The French "Spoliation" difficulties were finally settled by the treaty of Decem- Der 1891, and the war came to an end.
