Beer vs. Tobacco
The average American spends more for tobacco than for beer. Yet
the latter is far healthier cleaner and better for health. Tobacco is a
mild stimulant. So is beer but beer is likewise a food building up
the weak and putting on flesh and muscle.

WRITERS' WORK AND PAY.
"H. G. Wells in his youth often
wrote Bftftft words a day." said a pub-
lisher. "but he can do this no longer.
His output is now hut 100 ft words a
day—3ooooo words a year—two
books "
"George Moore has at times written
Ift.Oftft words a day. but as a rule he
only writes sftft words and there are
times when for days at a stretch he
destroys everv line written.
"Ceman Doi Ie once wrote a story
of 12.000 words at a sitting 1t was
one of the best of the 'Sherlock
Holmes' series too This writers
average output though is below 1000
words a day.
"Clyde Fitch does 300 words a day.
Pinero docs 300. Joseph Conrad does
800. W. W. Jacobs does 400. Hall
Caine does 1000. J. M. Barrie docs
600. Henry James does 1000. W. D.
Howells does 1000.
"The largest Incomes are made by
Clyde Fitch. Barrie. Hall Caine. Pi-
nero and Miss Corelli. For these
writers it is a bad year that brings in
less than $50000
Marion Crawford. H G. Wells and
Conan Doyle make $25000 or $3000 a
year.
jHrfor the rest not one makes less
than $5OOO. and’ in lucky years this
minimum is tripled or quadrupled."
THE OLD WISCONSIN IN HISTORY.
The early French explorers called it
the Ouisconsin The historians and
gi-ographers call if the Wisconsin. The
river men called It always the Wis-
conse or sometimes. affectionately
“the Old Wlsconse.'' It Is a river big
in history ancient and modern edven-
tlirous and commercial. It carried the
seeds of civilization into the Mlssippt
valley and It has brought dqyn mil-
lions’of wealth since civilization came.
It bore the apostles of the church into
i the wilderness in the early days and
j since then it has floated Into congress
many a merchant who found wealth
i in the predatory commerce that once
] lined Its shores. Its stained waters
ripple and roar rush and glide be-
tween banks hung thick with deeds
of daring. Its banks arc lined with
graves too though the grasses now
are covering these graves making
them ready for the great oblivion
which in time will enshroud the story
of the Old Wisconse and the bold'mcn
who once knew and loved it.—Emer-
son Hough in “On the Little Bull
Rapids." in The Outing Magazine for
March.

The head day porter mid the Lead
night porter of a hotel according to
the San Francisco Chronicle became
involved in a discussion on ages. The
head night porter confessed to thirty-
eight.
“H’m! Say. I've got yon beat ten
years." declared tbe head day.
"You mean to tell me you're only
tweuty-elght?" demanded the head
ulgbt.
"I should say not. I's just forty-
eight." explained the head day. with an
expression of withering disdain.
"Then you ain't got ine l>eat no ten
years. I's got you beat Just ten years
Say I got Jen years cornin' that you

“Look here man." declared tbe bead

A Soeree of < ontsslon.
It has been proved by* abundant In-
vestigation that one prolific source of
epidemic diseases is found in the liu
bility of tbe genus of such diseases to
lodge In tbe mouth a round tbe teetb
and gums. A physician examined the
teetU of tbe children of a certain
school. He found disease germs pres
ent In almost every case. By careful
watching he discovered that those chil-
dren whose teetb were kept cleanest
suffered less from epidemic diseases.
Tbe neglected condition of tbe tectk Is
therefore a common cause of Illness.
Indeed if one takes the trouble to ob-
serve with what rapidity the tartar
and cheesy matter accumulate nrouhd
the teetb of people who are out of
health they will not be long in making
up their minds that n thorough and ju
dlclous use of the toothbrush is not
very far from a menus of grace.

in rsgai* U> andirons a writer In the
< 'onnolMeur points out the curious fact
that tbe older specimens rarely come
In pairs but are of different heights
and sizes It was the custom in the
middle ages It somm to make them
uneven so a* to facilitate tbe moving
and raising of the huge blocks employ-
ed for firewood. He continues:
In the middle ages they were also
planned to bold a spit and it was not
until tbe late sixteenth i-eotury that
they were much ornamented. Accord-
ing to Vlollet Ie Duc since tbe most
remote ages from Etruscan times
down to tbe Romans such andirons
were made of Iron. Vasari speaks of
andtroas made with "meraviglloso ma-
gtstero" for tbe captains of tbe Art*
della Seta but I bare not found much
ornamentation npon them as early as
be says. I have n theory of my own
which l» contrary to that of Viollct Is
Duc. In England undirons are called
Are dogs and In tbe Bargello there la
a splendid specimen made in tbe form
of crouching hounds. I hold that tbe
andirons were In tbe first Instance
made in the shape of animals lying at
rest shaped of clay or stone and it
was much later that they were made
of Iron when they often ended in ani-
mals’ beads most often in that of
dogs.
Advertlalnr a WoreL
In a New York literary club two nov-
elists were discussing a novel of the
eighties and of which 00000 copies bad
been sold.
“It was" said the older man. “the
beet piece of advertising I ever heard
of. for It was advertising not merit
that made tbe book popular.
"The author has a millionaire bache-
lor friend—call him Millions— and be
persuaded Millions to let him write
for a newspaper a paragraph to tbe ef-
fect that tbe novel’s heroine had made
a lilt with him. and If he could find
anywhere a girl resembling her he
would marry her.
‘This paragraph duly appeared. It
was copied all over tbe country. Th*
young women of America on fire with
curiosity and hope bought nod read tbs
book In order to see If they stood any
chance with Millions.”
The younger novelist took out bls
notebook. .
"By Jove." he muttered. "It wouldn't
hurt to resurrect that scheme."
To Tan Fur Jkfna.
A formula often used to tan skins
with hair or fur on Is thia: Wash tbe
skin and scrape off any flesh ibat may
lie sticking to it. Then wash tbe bair
side with water mid soap and rinse
well. Tako one |>ound each of salt and
pulverized alum two ounces ef borax
dissolved In hot water add enough rye
meal (cornmeal may answer as well)
to make a thick paste and spread all
over flesh side. Then fold lengthwise
with the hair side out. Lat remain two
weeks Itx an airy but shaded place;
then unfold shake well and wash flesh
side with water unii scrape with solfce
sort of dull scraper. Pull aud stretch
and work till dry. The quantity of In-
gredients must i>e in tbe proportion*
given but tlie size of the skin must de-
termine the quantity used. The quan-
tities named probably would be enough
for two or three sheepskins.—St Loula
Republic.
Curraats.
Currants are really little grape*
quite without seeds having thin skins
nnd very sweet. They bav* been
known from very ancient times for
the name itself Is a corruption of “Cor-
inth.” the Creek city where they wer*
originally cultivated. Vines produc*
no fruit for three years after planting
but lu the fourth year there Is a small
crop which Increases up to tbe twelfth.
Those grown In the island of Zant*
are most esteemed. Currants are sim-
ply dried iu tbe sun on tbe ground ar 1
then packed for shipment. In som*
parts of Greece they are also made in-
to a sweet wine.

Mnrway- la Scotland.
Few people are aware of the fact
that the Orkney and Shetland Islands
strictly speaking belong to the king-
dom of Norway. Toward tbe close of
the fifteenth century King Christian of
Norway pledged the Orkneys and tbe
Shetlands over which his rule was un-
disputed. to King James 111. of Scot-
land for the’ payment of tbe dowry of
his daughter Margaret who became
queen of Scotland. The pledge has not
yet been redeemed.
