Blowing the Nose.
Medical experts are calling the atten-1
tton of the public to the importance of
performing the nose blowing operation!
In n scientific and hygienic manner. |
First one nostril and then the other!
should be blown without undue vio
lence. Doctors state that the two nasal
passages should never be closed at the
same time. If they are obstructed, as
in the case of a cold, (lie back of the
throat is tilled with compressed air, |
and this, together with the discharge
and the microbes which it contains, I
may be driven through the eustaehlal
tube into the middle ear and lead to j
serious results. A great authority on
the subject used to forbid bis patients
to blow their noses when suffering
from a cold. The course is hardly one
which will commend itself to those in!
tlie habit of catching colds. The best;
advice would seem to he that when lt|
is necessary to blow (be nose blowing]
should be done gently.—London Mail.

“Have you any choice as to the wed
ding march?” asked the church organ
ist.
“The wedding inarch?" echoed the
father of die bride.
"Vos; the march that is played when
the bridal procession moves down the
aisle. Which one would you prefer—
Mendelssohn's or (lie march from
‘Lohengrin?’"
"Any difference in tlie expense?"
"Oh, no.!"
“Then play the one that’s the long

Silk Manufacture.
From ay accounts sill; manufacture
originated in Chinn. Chinese tradition
has it that the Emperor Foh Li taught
his people the art of cultivating the
silkworm as early as 5000 11. C. Spain
was the llrst European country to re
ceive the silkworms, the Arnli conquer
ors introducing them about the tenth
century, probably from Iholr home on
the borders of Persia. The foundation
of the silk industry in France dates
from the year 1510, when Francis I.
imported silk workers from Milan.
ANCIENT BOWS.
That of tha Sc>thians Was In the Form
of the Letter C.
While unlveisnlly used by tlie an
cients, the form of the bow varied with
different nations. The Scythian bow
was in the form of the letter C, and
the how of tlu* Tartars, descendants of
the Scythians, still keeps that shape.
The Creek hwas not more than
three or four feet In length, but so
stout and stiff that it required consld
erable strength and skill to use It. It
Is said that the llrst Greek bows were
made from the horns of a species of
goat, the bases being united by means
of a metallic band. Afterward other
material was used in their manufac
ture, I nit they still retained their orig
inal shape. These bows were too
short to be of inuoh use, and, compara
tively speaking, but a small portion of
the troops were armed with them.
The Homans carried the bow to Itrit-
aln. where it at once obtained favor
and during the middle ages was ex
tensively used, forming an Important
element of the armies of that period.
The English archers were said to be
the finest in the world, and their skill
decided the battles of Creecy, Poitiers
and Agincourt. The bows used were
of two kinds—the long bow aud the
arbalest, or crossbow. The arbalest
was made of steel or horn and was of
such strength and stiffness that it was
necessary to use some mechanical ap
pliance to bend It and adjust the
string. The arbalestlers carried a
quiver with fifty arrows and were
placed in tho van of the battle.

Internal Revenue Receipts Show That]
Nearly Two Billion Barrels of Boer j
Were Drunk Last Year—Sales of ,
Whisky Also Increased.
Startling evidence of the growing ap
petite of tlie American public for whis
ky and beer, tobacco, cigars, ciga
rettes and even snuff is presented i i
the statement of the internal revenue
bureau for the fiscal year that closed
June 80. Prohibition and reform move
ments, to say nothing of New Year’s
resolutions, seem to lie falling of their
purpose. The country year by year
drinks more liquor and smokes and
chows more tobacco. Worse still, much
Of the smoking consists in the con
sumption of the cigarette.
The fiscal year just closed lias bro
ken nil previous records In tlie amount
of liquor and tobacco consumed. Be
sides, tlie pul die is using more oleo
margarine, renovated butter, process
butter, filled cheese and other ‘‘unde
sirables.”
The receipts of internal revenue for
the fiscal year that closed June 80
amounted to $2(10,004,022 against IfH-Jl).-
102,78S for the preceding fiscal year.
Large increases are shown in receipts
for revenue on spirits, tobacco, fer
mented liquors, oleomargarine, adul
terated butter and renovated butter.
But more Impressive is the showing
when it Is considered what quantities
of these various products were manu
factured. Beer drinking bus Increased
enormously. The amount of beer with
drawn for consumption on which reve
nue was paid was 58,540,111 barrels, or
3,81)4,474 barrels more than in the pre
ceding liseal year. Expressed In gal
lons, tills is an Increase of 110,883,220
gallons. It appears the country has
consumed the enormous total of 1,814,-
020,441 gallons of beer in the last fiscal
year. If the country has a population
of 00,000,000 this means that In the
twelve months ending June 80 there
were drunk In the United States an
average of more than twenty gallons
of beer to every man, woman and
child. This means a high average, but
the Internal revenue officials say it
was n poor year for beor drinking,
the cold, wet spring driving folks to
strong drink and hurting the beer traf
fic.
The consumption of whisky In the
fiscal year emltug June was 134,142,074
gallous, or an Increase of 11,409,252
gallons over the preceding fiscal year.
There was an Increase also In spirits
made from apples and other fruits, the
consumption being 1,993,088 gallons
against 1,781,044 gallons In the pre
ceding fiscal year.
Along with drinking folks have been
busy puffing away at the noxious
weed. The country being prosperous,
cigar smoking grew nt an amazing
pace. In tlie .fiscal year there were
withdrawn for consumption 51,151,
802,120 more cigars of the class weigh
ing over three pounds to the thousand,
an increase over the previous year of
1,308,595,917 cigars of that class alone
—that is, the public smoked about a
billion and a third more of these cigars
in tlie fiscal year just closed than it
did tlie year before. The‘Increase was
nearly as heavy in cigars weighing
less than three pounds to the thousand.
It is easy to calculate that tlie cigar
bill of the nation is Increasing enor
mously. Aside from cigars, the public
chewed and smoked 309,180,303 pounds
of tobacco, an increase of 14,270,804
pounds.
In cigarettes the consumption in
creased heavily, the entire number
smoked in the fiscal year ending June
30 being so high that it is small won
der Hie tobacco trust has thrived. It
amounted to 5,151,802,130, an Increase
of 1,308,595,917. As to snuff, there
was an increased consumption of 093,-
058 pounds.

Modorate Drinkers Warned.
That tlie moderate use of liquor Is as
dangerous to the physical well being
ns its excessive use, although not as
conspicuously so, is tlie conclusion
reached by I)r. Iteid Hunt, chief of the
division of pharmacology of the United
States public health and marine hos
pital service, after a series of tests
conducted with animals. Says Dr. Hunt
in a pamphlet issued by the govern
ment printing office, giving tlie results
of ills experiments:
“I have found profound modifications
of certain physiological processes to
result in a comparatively short time
from doses of alcohol so small that in
dications of Intoxication never occur
red.”
From these tests Dr. Hunt holds that
the moderate drinker endangers life
just as surely as the one who gets
drunk.
The Two Won’t Blend.
That overindulgence in alcoholic
stimulants is one of the worst habits
to which man can become addicted
there is no possibility for doubt. It
has been truly said, if sometimes in
jest, that no man can attend to hi*
business and at the same time dri.uk
overmuch liquor. Either he must ne
lect the former or lie must put a lnui-
dirap upon the latter. Eveu the man
who restricts his drinking to those
hours when he is popularly supposed
to be at leisure will discover that the
habit is bound to interfere with his
capacity for business, and if he is so
foolish as to try to mix the two he
Is bound to find sooner or later that
they blend about as well as oil and
water.—New York Commercial Adver
