One of llie compiler* of the "Statistical Account of Scot laud," pub. 1 1 s 1 1 ? m 1 III 171)1, records (bat "The chief luxuries In the rural districts are snuff, tobacco and whisky. Tea and sugar are little used, but the use of whisky has become very great. The use of tobacco may a I moat be aald to be excessive, especially among the female sex. There is scarce a young woman by the tlmo she has been taught to spin but has also learned to smoke. Smoking seems to have been introduced as an antidote to rheuma tism and ague. The favorable altera tion with respect to these diseases has only produced a greater avidity for tobacco." TO REVIVE HOME INDUSTRY Good Work Done by Knitter* During the War Has Given Impetus to .

What was accomplished by the vast volunteer army of . kuitleo*- durlngthe wm? one of the creditable facts In the history of the world upheaval through which civilisation has been passing, sa;s the St. Louis Globe Dem ocrat. Ilut for the millions of devoted women who kept the needles (lying the horrors of the trenches would have been Hlill more frightful." nnd"dcndly. The achievements ??C the knitters have suggested the organization In New York of a society for.*, the revival of home Industry and domestic art. Its first move is to gather all the spinning Wheels within reach and look up prac tical Instructors in the Use of a house hold Implement that had become but an antique piece of furnitjure. Man kind needs weavers as well as plow men, and spinning at home Is one of the oldest forms of Industry.

Captain Philips, writing from lirl t Ish Ituanda, in t lie Tanganyika terri tory, states lie has shot a specimen of an hitherto unidentified specie of duiker. The animal Is about the size of a large gbat, and is known as an eppo or empuyi by the. natives, to whom It la In a way sacred as being the totem-boast' of Mustaga, I he now reigning chief or rnwaini of t lie coun try of ltunnda, over the greater part of which a mandate was recently given to Belgium by the peace con ference. The eppo lives In the bamboo forests of Mount Sablno and .other mountain forests, and seldom comes into open country. It often takes (jefugo in the low and broad forks of large trees. The creature has a stumpy tall, orlbl horns, and marsh hooves; In color It Is a rufous black, and has a bright yellow stripe along about half of Its backbone. In the case of the present specimen, = which was, apparently, healthy, part of the back was nearly bald of hair. ? London Times. Plane That Is All Wing. A system of airplane construction which is being developed and particu larly adapted to large craft appears on Its face not only Interesting but plausible mid practical, provided the location of the weight is not detrimen tal. says a report by J. H. Col well, pub lished In the Journal of the Patent Otllce Society. Broadly staled, the system comprises a hollow . plane merged into the fuselage so that the large truss?*d wing spars, the engine hou.??i igs and fuel tanks, as well as the pilot, are Inclosed within the lifting Mirfntv itself. The center of the plane between the upper and lower walls Is deep, while the wings taper in small depths toward the tips. The e:\tire ma'-hine. including the pil?>f'< ear. is practically ii part of the lighting sur face, thereby necessitating compara tlvely few external wind resisting parts. He Rode Free.
