WHISKY DoESsNoT WARM.

Sir Lauder Brunton, in his Leo lures on the Action of Medicines, :" gives striking example of the dan ger of taking alcoholic drinks to keep warm." A party of engineers were surveying in the Sierra Nevada. They camped Ut great height above sea level, where the air was very cold, and they were miserable. Some of them drank a little whisky and felt less uncomfortable. Some of them drank lot of whisky and went to bed feeling very jolly and comfort able indeed. In the morning men who had not taken any whisky got up all right; those who had taken little whisky got up feeling very unhappy; ; the men who had taken lot of whisky did not get up at all; they were sim ply frozen to death. ''They had warmed" adds the professor, ''the sur face of their bodies at the expense of their internal organs"

TENDERNESS IN EVERY MAN
How 1t Made Itself Apparent in Micky MediII of K Troop, Trainer of
 Famous Army Horse.

There is a certain amount of tender ness in the makeup of every man. It was put there for the benefit of womon and children. Soldiers and sailors are consistency herded away from the nat ural objects of this trait, and that is why pets do so well in squad rooms. No one could wish eur a kindlier fate than to fall in with company of in fantry, and barracks are usually clut- tered with every form of animal life, from horned toads to monkeys. Micky Aledill had known little of affection, but he loved the slim black gelding, says writer in Scribners. He went about the training with the tenderness of mother for child. He was sorry for the colts terror, and he, above all men, could sympathize with Kavass' friendlinesS and the dread that K troop had of him. In the end the colt forgot l the bitter experience of his recruit weeks, and finally Kavass of K troop became-well, Kavass of K troop. He knew every trick that kindness and patience can teach an intelligent horse. He became the best three-mle horse in the army. He could leap a five-foot hurdle without apparent effort. He won an important steeplechase when the troop was stationed at Fort Meyer, Va. He attended a New York horse show and took ribbons in the charger class. He was one of the few animals that were landed in Cuba with the army of Santiago. He was wounded back of Fl Caney, and so became an army hero. At last he distinguished himself internationally by carrying an important message no miles in 15 hours, during the threatened Ute up- rising-a message that is generally conceded to have averted threatened Indian war.
 No Arab of romance was ever more devoted master than the regenerated Micky Medill. He had found some thing that repaid affection. As the rider and trainer of Kavass, he be- came somebody in his little world. The captain perceived his talent, and he was made stable orderly, and final ly sergeant.

MAN MAKER OF WOMAN's CARE
Meanest Part of 1t, Says Writer, Is That He Makes Her Look Funny,
 Then Laughs.

Every now and then some writer makes fun of woman's attire, not req lizing that man gets up these skirts, shoes, spats and hats for woman; and the meanest part of 1t Is that after man has sold woman her togs and made her look funny he laughs at her, says writer in the New York Sun.
 Some day woman will see how beau- tiful she Is and that man cunningly tries to make her look homely and awkward, and when that day comes 10 skirts that are likely to shrink into a girdle will mar her lines of natural grace; no shoes, no spats will spoil the beauty of her feet; but the classic folds of Grecian draperies will reveal her heretofore hidden symmetry and form under them her sandal toes will nodestly peep out. Upon her crown ing glory the classic ribbon or the aurel wreath will rest and bring out the beauty of her brow.
 Then perhaps man, relieved of this responsibility for woman, will have title time to see that his costume is just bit ridiculous.

BOOSTERS AND BREWERIEs.

While the national Democratic convention was In St Louis an effort was made by the local newspapers to boost the home town. The St. Louis Times issued special convention SUD- plement in which the industries of that city were advertised. Under the heading, Facts About St. Louis Worth Knowing" 50 of the most prominent facts were mentioned. De spite the fact that St. Louis is one of two cities in the country most con spicuous for its beer industry. not one word was said about the brew cries. Under the heading, "The Ex- ports of St. Louis" beer appears in its alphabetical place. Among exports this product could not be ignored, but the commercial bodies of St. Louis. judging by their display elsewhere, were ashamed to include reference to beer as one of their chief prod ucts.

RELIEVING IN OURSELVES.

Relief in self is the foundation stone to individual success, but It must be so strong in quality and so resourcefu in emergency that it ut tarlv refuses to admit discourage ment. There are different degrees of belief in self and experience shows nlainly that it is only the most hon. estlv conceived and most carefully developed form of self-confidence that is able to overcome those obsta cles which seem to arise with such relentless regularity along the path of the earnest seeker after results, saws Charleston News and Courier Such man tries to give the best that Is fin him in the effort to win success. but because he lacks the strong. hard confidence in his own mowers of accomplishment which is absolutely necessary to gain his ends he becomes discouraged. He loses his original point of view in the con fusions of his failure. because 1t is hard for a man to think and act In the face of disappointment with the same force and enthusiasm which characterized his more hopeful ef- forts. That Is why we hear men who have failed to say that the world Is against them when they have really, but most unfortunately, lost their way in the darkness The light that blaZed so gloriously at the outset of their careers lost Its brlliancy when left to itself for hope needs to be cared for sometimes to be kept alive. If the light of hope, which after all is faith in self, be kept burning brightly all our lives there would be small cause for depres- sion and fewer failures.

Much of Canada Unexplored.

paper upon the Vnexplored parts of Canada has been recently prepared by Charles Camsel of the Canadian ge- ologic survey, in which he points out that the unexplored area of Canada is greater than is generally under stood. In estimating the area of this country, he follows the plan of consid- ering as explored a strip of 15 miles on each side of an explorers route On this basis the unexplored area amounts to about 901 900 square miles, and this does not take account of blocks under 4,000 square miles in ex- tent. This is about 2S per cent of the total area of Canada, excluding Arc tic. islands.

Woman's Profitable Fad.

Collecting rare and beautiful butter flies is ordinarily thought of as the interesting though not particularly profitable task of naturalist, but in Boston there is n woman who has transformed butterfly collecting into a commercial enterprise yielding hand some profits. For this womans un- usual line of trade force of trained collectors. scattered over all parts of the world. is engaged in gathering no less than 100000 specimens year. She was first interested in this work through the work of her husband, who was a Harvard entomologist. Now, instead of these exquisite insects be- ing mounted for scientific collections only, they are used chiefly for decora- tive purposes in a score of different ways by jewellers, florists, modistes and others.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

An expert has figured out why the wheels of a moving vehicle shown on the motion-picture screen sometimes appear to stand still, sometimes to waver between forward and back ward, and more often to travel back ward. The motion-picture, as every one knows, Is simply succession of photographs-taken at the rate of about 20 to the second, and each rep resenting an instantaneous snapshot, says Portland Oregonian. If the spoke of the wheel in the period it takes to make a picture moves to a position almost but not quite where the succeeding spoke stood in picture No l the eye associates 1t with its former successor, because 1t Is near est to it, and which seems therefore to have moved slightly backward. If the No. spoke in the interval be- tween snapshots exactly takes the place of the succeeding spoke, the eye detects no change, and the wheel seems to be still. If the camera Is cranked at an approximately steady rate, while the vehicle varies its speed, 1t will be seen that a confus- ing series of Illusions Is created. It is well understood that the term "mo- lion picture" is misnomer, since the separate pictures of the series in themselves do not depict motion.

WAR MAKES PETROLEUM KING
World Today Is as Much Dependent Upon Refined Products of Oil
 As It Is Upon Wheat.

The European war is without a doubt doing more to direct general attention, to the claims of oil and its multitudin- ous products than any amount of ad- vertising in normal times could have accomplished.
 The great clash of arms on the con- tinent has from it's commencement shown that the necessity for the pro- ducts of petroleum in up-to-date war fare is no less than in either the in- dustrial circles or In domestic life. We are today as much dependent upon the refined products of crude oil as we are upon wheat and other necessities of life, and as time goes on, and the uses which are constantly being found for petroleum multiply, our dependency upon oil becomes the greater.
 It Is no surprise, therefore, to find that not only are petroleum products generally commanding greater atten- tion than they ever before did, but that particularly healthy atmosphere permeates those enterprises which have laid themselves out-and success fully so-to engage in the production, the refining, the transport, or the dis tribution of petroleum products. There is, in short, no mistaking the fact that in the future, oil will be king.-Petrol- cum Review.

The European war and the conse- quent closing of the European sources or production of embroideries and faces has given a tremendous impetus to this industry in the Philippines. Be- lore the war 1t had already reached large proportions in Manila and the provinces, the public schools were giv- Ing It their attention in an effort to tram girls in the art of producing fab TICS which would meet commercial needs, and American commercial inter- ests had established agencies there. The war has increased this business to such an extent that it is seemingly i'm possible to meet the demand. More than 10000 women in Manila alone are employed in shops and homes on fine embroidery and laces and the monthly pay roll is in excess of S10o.OO0 a month.

ADVERTISE YOUR CITY.

ApropOs of the proposed appoint ment of a commission for the adyer- Using of Chicago as commercial and educational center, the Union Signal suggests to that city and to cities gen orally that there are other methods less expensive which produce greater results. Have you noticed the free publicity given to Seattle Portland, Des Moines and Denver?" it says. "The public is interested in these cities now as never before and is watching these experiments in decency and morality with far greater eager ness than 1t ever evinced when they were only ordinary money-accumulat- ing centers.
 If Kansas were to blot off of her statute books her prohibitory law she would lose fine bit of advertising. The attacks of the liquor interests must net that plucky, prosperous. pro- gressive state thousands of dollars ev- cry year. Not only do the liquorites publish whole pages of fabricated fairy tales concerning the defunct Sun flower state, but they run their print ing presses overtime putting on the market booklets devoted entirely to the failure of prohibition in Kansas,
 "This publicity works so we'll that men come from across the ocean to study the state which Is failing at such rate that 1t burns its last mort gage bond and finds itself out of debt that 1t discovers it has the highest per capita wealth of any state and tax rate lower than that of any other State except one.
 And because prohibition Is making Denver. Portland, Des Moines and Seattle better cities than ever before, the public is talking about them, writing about them. advertising them. They are being used to point moral and adorn tale as communities In which crime has decreased and bank deposits increased; In which vice dis triots have disappeared and legitimate business has prospered.
