Eight Crops Worth $44,363.eoo.

The government crop report gives
the value of eight crops in Colorado
this year as $44,363,S00. The crops in.
cluded in the figures are corn, wheat,
oats, barley, rye, flaxseed, potatoes
and hay. The figures give an increase
of 100000 bushels in the production
Of grains and decrease Of $4,000
tons in the production of hay. The
prevailing prices on Dec. were gen
orally lower than on the same date a
year ago, SO the total value Of the
eight crops is $3sS,200 less than last
year. The most valuable crop in the
state was hay, which reached total
of $16,1ss,00O for 2,130,0OO tons. 1t
showed a decrease in value in excess
of 100000. Last year the state had
the biggest crops in its history. Tho
figures for Colorado follow:

WHY DRINKERS ARE FAT.

WHY DRINKERS ARE FAT.
The labor leaders are beginning to
teach through the pages of their jour-
nails the nature and effects of alcohol
upon the physical organism. The fol-
lowing is from the United Mine Work
ers' Journal:
mot all hard drinkers are fat, but
the tendency of alcoholics to obesity
is too marked to escape notice. A
well-known doctor says it is because
the alcohol usurps the function Of the
fat, which accumulates. This is how
he explains it:
1T is noticeable that those addicted
to the use Of alcoholic beverages often
reveal a tendency to corpulence which
is proportionate to their use of the
drug. The fatness is not a sign of
health. 1t is not even an indication
that alcohol is harmless. 1t is merely
the result Of the complete oxidation
of the substance of alcohol by the
human body. The body will oxidize q
two-ounce quantity of alcohol in "a
hours, and will do it SO completely
that no trace of alcohol can be found
in any excretory substance. This sim
ply means that the unnatural heat pro-
duced in the body by the presence of
the stimulant answers. for the time
being at least, for what would other
wise be produced by the expenditure
of fats and carbohydrates. These lat
ter are the fuel stored up by the body
and normally burned up in. the pro-
duction of necessary bodily heat
though not a natural heat-and this
expenditure is avoided. The fat is
therefore stored up in the body un-
used, and corpulence is the necessary
result. This, of course, is not a nor
It becomes more unnatural with in
creasing use of alcohol"

AMERICAS GREATEST FOES.

Had saloons never been discovered,
and were it then in my power to por
tray the effects of such a discovery, all
men, without exception, would declare
1t impossible to conceive Of any more
diabolical plan for the degradation and
destruction of the human race. Our
greatest foes are the manufacturers
and distributors of alcohol. The
stories Of injuries done by drink are 80
written in the sad life history Of many
Of our greatest men; are SO evident
throughout our land in squalor, pow
erty, misery and crime, and replete in
prisons, workhouses and asylums, as
we'll as In domestic infelicity, that It
is inconceivable that any intelligent,
rational man can deny the necessity
for strong, united action to rid the
land of both manufacturer and dis.

STOP ALL DRINKING,

A handbook recently issued by the
German governm ent for the use Of
field surgeons sounds note of warn
ing against John Barleycorn. The
article is by Prof. Max Gruber of the
Royal Hygienic institute of Munich.
We quote:
This is no time for the use of alco-
hol. Not only is the guzzling of all
alcoholic drinks to be stopped, but
the use of even small amounts is, as q
rule, an evil.
1T is scientifically established that
even small amounts of alcohol weaken
and paralyze our powers of observa-
ton, memory and judgment, the COM
mand of our intellect, our wills and
our reason, our impulses, our brains.
our body; cut down the gains from
exercise, the endurance of hardships.
the ability to resist external injuries.
"One's strength and mental power
may be enough to Withstand the mod.
crate use, but efficiency cannot be i'm.
proved by 1t. And those of US who
are small and deficient in mental and
physical power act recklessly when
we dissipate the little that we have,
especially when we are under obliga.
tions to accomplish the most that we
can"

AUSTRIAN YOUTHS IN WAR

The Austrian newspapers are dev0t-
ing considerable space at present to
the part played by schoolboys in the
present war. They are affectionately
termed the war boys" and in the op-
erations in eastern Galicia they were
of great assistance to the troops.
In some Of the artillery battles, e.
pecially those which centered around
Czernovitz and Weinberg. schoolboys
in large numbers braved the shells and
carried water and ammunition for the
troops.
After a battle they would go over the
field and gather pieces of shrapnel and
the shells OF cartridges to be made
over again into ammunition. Occa-
sionally boy thus sacrificed his life.
but this did not deter the ardor Of his
companions.
Many of the boys followed the In
fantry regiments and fought and slept
with the soldiers In the trenches. The
boys who remained at home took the
place of their fathers and brothers who
were at the front.
The story is told Of . fourteen-year-
old youngster who all alone managed
the biggest hotel in Czernovitz. He
looked personally after his own cashier
and bookkeeper. Other boys peddled
goods among the soldiers and %
earned good living for their mothers.
Some became guides, and many IN
army automobile had as guide Q bright
schoolboy who sat beside the chauf-
fear and showed him the right road.
1t is said that when the history Of
this war is written the schoolboyD q

BEER WORSE THAN WHISKY.

BEER WORSE THAN WHISKY.
This is what the Home Life Insur.
ance company of New York has to say
about beer:
"Of all Intoxicating drinks, it is the
most animalizing. It dulls the intel.
lectual and moral and feeds the sen.
sual and beastly nature. Beyond all
other drinks, It qualities for deliberate
and unprovoked crime. In this re-
spect 1t is much worse than distilled
liquors. A whisky drinker will COM
NIT murder only under the direct ex.
citement Of liquor, q beer drinker is
capable Of doing It in cold blood. Long
observation has assured US that a
large proportion Of murders deliberate
ly planned and executed, without pas
sion or malice, with no other motive
than the acquisition Of property or
money, often of trifiing value, are per
petrated by beer drinkers"

mourners in their white robes walking
two abreast. each pair holding Q hand
kerchief. The Parsee accounts say
that the body is received by two beard
ed attendants at the entrance to the
towers, and that by them the shroud
is removed and then vultures do the
rest. This is probably what happened
that day.
All could note on this occasion was
sudden movement of the vultures
in the palm trees. There seemed to
be hundreds Of them. They paused
for q minute ON the outer edge of ono
Of the towers and then disappeared
within. In q few minutes they re-
appeared.
The Parsee method of disposing Of
the dead is, perhaps, as the Parsees
say, more sanitary than the Christian
burial in the earth, or even than the
Hindu cremation. It meets the tenet
Of their faith that fire, water and earth
are too sacred to be polluted. But
the western mind cannot become ac-
customed to 1t.
In conclusion, It may be said that
there are other New Year observ-
ances in India besides the New Year
of the Christians, Mohammedans, Him.
dus and Parsees. There is a Chinese
colony in Bentinck street, Calcutta, and
the Chinese there observe the New
Year as they do in the United States.
or in any other section of the world
in which they are found.

&&& cause of the large number OF
races and religions.
When a traveller who expects to
spend some time in the country goes
to the bank with his letter of credit,
usually card is handed him on which
is printed the various holidays. This
is for his convenience, so that he
will not let himself get out of funds
and 60 to the bank In a hurry, only
to find it closed on account of some
holiday. The holiday may be Chris
tian, Mohammedan or that Of any me
of the numerous Hindu sects.
When the usual card was given me
in Bombay, says a writer. l noted the
number Of these holidays which were
ascribed to New Year. They did not
exactly bear out the humorous de-
scription Of every day in the year as
q New Year day. but there seemed
hardly a month of the Christian calen-
dar which did not have at least one
New Year designated. and in some
months there were more.
Kaleidoscope Bombay observes all
these New Year days because the
stream of Asiatic life which circulates
through it includes all the civilization
and all the races and religions OF the
Orient, with some additions from the
Occident. The spirit is one OF cath
olicity.
All the races and all the religious
sects observe the New Year of the
Christian calendar. because British
rule of India is reflected in this day;
but they also observe the New Year Of
the different races and religions
among themselves. at least to the ex.
tent of knocking of work.
Whether in Bombay or Benares. the
monkey temple has its throng OF Hin.
du worshipers, and the Mohamme-
dams often are not unwilling to share
In the observance to the extent Of
foregoing their business activities.
The HIndus on their part are apt to
think it shame to work on q Moham.
medan New Year day when the Mos
lem population may be thronging the
Jumma Musquid mosque. So It goes
all round the circle Of New Year holi-
days.
There is a simple arithmetical meth
cd OF calculating the time from the
Hegira in the terms of the Christian
era, but the easier way is to accept
without question the fact that such
and such q day IL the New Year of
the Mohammedan era. Similarly, the
New Year of the Buddhists and the
Brahmins and the jams and the Sikhs
may be accepted without bothering
~ ha oolonHop
The British New Year in Bombay.
or Calcutta, or Delhi is much the
same as in England.
While the Christian New Year is
formal and stately on account OF Brit
ish authority, 1t has less standing than
the New Year of the Parsees, because
It is single days observance, while
the Parsees take two days. The year
I happened to be in Bombay was the
Parsee Yazdezardi, 1876, and the New
Year days came on September 13 and
IA.
On this day I was afforded the op-
portunity Of witnessing the Parsee re-
ligious observances, or Zoroastrian
services. It was in the Allbless Bagh.
on the Charm road. Their churches
or temples Of worship are free from
architectural pretensions without and
within. They are more like an ordi-
nary hall.
In this temple the women were gath
cred at one end Of the room and the
men at the other end. In the space
between was q stand holding a lamp
with the eternal fire under glass. The
