He found the bolt, like the.one in

upward as If arranged by a pulley.
"Aim I" he exclaimed, as, peering

The takiug of ginger in the form of
eesenee or strong tincture, Is revealed
by a meilleal man as ft growing form of
inebriety both in, thin country and Am.
erica.
As its alcoholic strength is about
double that of whiskey or brandy, the
deleterious results of excessive
mice can. be imagined.
There is one recorded case in which
theitlaily dose of a victim of "ginger -
isn't' was increased from tea drops to a
pint in the comae of three years, Al-
though the habit is more precticed in
the United States than la Ilegland,
there are numbers of chemists in Lon.
don who admit that they have regular
customers for the pungent. essence, who
buy ,comparatively large quantities ev-
ery week.
The eause of the habit is nearly el -
ways the same "Gingeristse are people

mulls who seek palliation of the results
of overwork, 'limy know that- Suck
drugs as morphia, eillomi, 'cocaine and
chlorforin are accumulative in their ef-
fect upon the human system, they know
also that ginger was the homely remedy
Of their youth for stomachic troubles.
It seems incredible,. but it is it fact,
that from the taking of few drops
of this powerful carminative for Mile I
gestion, "gingerist" will grow into the
habit of taking large doses, as a tonic,
e sedative aud palliative.
So far, inquiries fellow that women
are as much addicted to &prim as
men, but the actual victims, are diffi-
cult to trace, essenee of ginger is eas-
ily purchasable in any chemist% shop by
or grown up person.
"It must be, a, very vitiated taste
that can endure large doses of tincture
of ginger," saki a wholesale cberuist
"But, of course-, tho same cen be said
of most violently iteting drugs. Once
there is a, physical deemed created for
a. particular stimulant, the pa.late is dis-
regarded. It is the result which is look.
ed forward to not the immediate im-

The result of the practiee seems to
be a negation of the results Mined 'at.

. GASLIGILT FLASH SIGNS.
The electric flasheights ha.ve proven
so popular for advertising purposes that
the gas -flesh has been designed, which
is 'said to answer the same demands at
One-eighth the cost. The letters forming
the sign eve made independently, and in
each is it cluster, of male jets, in the
midst .of whieh is a pilot light, which
.is always burning. By an ingenious de-
vice the supply of gas is regulated. BO'
that a certain amount is delivered at re-
gular intervals, and as the flow is start'
ed it is ut once ignieed by the, pilot jet,
ana for it short period there is a blaze
of light. The appearance Of the gas
flashes is Haiti to be identical with those
operated and illuminated by electricity,
. and tle cost of their maintenance is
said to be about one-eighth that of the
current. • ,

MUSIC OFTHE INSECT WORLD.
The trne wing peeformere, are the
crickets.and long -horned gresslioppers, ,or
true locusts, of which the katydid is a
characteristic representative. These fel-
lows -for it is elways the melee the
spores and lovers of the insect world -
perform serenades by the hour on what
might be called living fiddles. Most in-
sects are devoid of hearing. The locusts
and -crickets possess acute hearing. Their
eourtsbip is carried on entirely through
the medium of their ,serenades. The
males remain in oee epot playing upon
their instruments. The females undoubt-
edly, etteatted byekliese songs, seek the

But the tightened, parelunent-like sound-

*I SHOULD NOT BE

Mho Dominion Government did a good •
thing for the farmers of -Canada when,
it placed certain grades -,of fence wire on,

Mg has been kept down th 'nice which,
enabled thousands of farmers to replace
at, unsightly, wasteful wooden fences
with neat, new wire structuiee, thereby
improving their own property o,nd en-
hancing the value of elie surrounding
neighborhood. Now it transpires that
pressure is being brought to bear upon -
the Gomel/met to go back to the old
duty on these grades of wire. That
such a change would work ihjury to the
farming community admits of no argu-
ment. At present, practically none of the
grades of wire on the free list are
manufactured in :Canada so that any
duty that would be .eitt on the ,wirei
would prove an. equal -tax upon. the •
consumer -the fernier. A tariff of say
25 par Cent. would tmdoubtedly en-
hance the cost of fencing fully ten to
fifteen cents per rod. , This would mean, .
