Liquoir Men Preach Temperance
Liquor Dealers met at Philadelphia
ii annual convention a few days ago,
I The feature of th eannual convention
was the advocation of temperance.
In recent years the sellers of liquors
have been alarmed at the prohibition
wave which swept across many states.
States which were formerly open terri
tory became restricted territory and
the curtailment of the liquoir business
gave t he distillers and wholesalers
much to think about.
The sentiment for temperance ia
strong. All of us believe In it, but as
to the best means to attain that end
we cannot agree. Prohibition has been
established in a number of states, but
lhior selling has not been suppressed
in any state. The liquoir dealers have
seen the temperance movement and
the prohibition movement expand and
lh. y know that if temperance prevails
generally that there will not be sin h
a demaud for prohibition. Hence their
acts are along the lines of self interest
They are trying to put their industry
on a plane which will be tolerated by
reasonable people. They have seen the
business slipping away and they have
been much concerned as to the out
look. At times they have feared that
all ret territories would be extinguish

have little weight on the laws pertain

agitating the temperance question
fro ma new angle. If they can promote
temperance, they are on the right
track. They might be able to aid the
cause of temperance by consolidating
their business with Hint of the brew
ers so that the sale of alcoholic liquors
could be reduced by substituting the
malt liquors which cause small harm
as compared to grent harm in the use
of alcoholic liquors by tbotM who don't

SPURNS FILTHY LUCRE!
ONfc MAN FOUND WHO D0E8 NOT
CARE FOR MONEY.
Lure of Comfortable Home, With
Greenbacks In Profusion, Unable
to Decoy Joseph Flutser From
the Life He Loves.
If you were shoveling coal and get
ting no pay for It and sleeping nights
under a wbarf and getting such
meager bits of food as Just happened
to fall your way and your brother
should ,me along and discover you
after a long, long search and take
you by the band and tell you that he
bad $2,000 for you and a good home
and plenty to eat, would you run away?
Then, If running away, that brother
should ask the judge to declare that
u i tv,r '
you were crazy, wouldn't your brother
have good ground for his move?
That's the situation presented In the
singular case of Benjamin Flusser,
who keeps a furniture store at 214
Springfield avenue, one of the main
business streets of Newark, N. J., who
has asked the court to look Into the
state of mind of his brother, Joseph,
who has been sent to the detention
ward of Bellevue hospital, New York,
because he runs away from money
which almost any man will chase for
, a I ,. i t i ,1
miles and lose his breath over and
cheat and He and scheme and sell gold
bricks for. Benjamin had been look
ing for Joseph since their father died
on November 25 last leaving an estate
of $14,000, of which $2,000 was Jo
seph's Bhare. Benjamin was walking
along Grand street, New York, when
he ran across Joseph busy shoveling !
coal Into a cellar from a sidewalk
When Benjamin told him what had
happened. Joseph said: "I don't want
anybody's money; I hate money; give
It away and please go away and let
me work. I know I am your brother,
but I do not want money. I am work
ing; so go away and let me finish my
Job."
"My brother cannot be In his right
senses," says Benjamin. "He will not
sleep In a home and has a place under
the Williamsburg bridge. He hates to
be In a home and won't work in a
store. I want to give him a good
home, and I could get him a good Job,
but he will stay with nobody. He runs
after wood and coal carts until they
are ready to be unloaded and then he
helps.
"Sometimes they give blm ten cents,
sometimes 15 and maybe a quarter.
They say he will not take a quarter,
saying he does not want any one's
money, while lots of times he works
and then goes away without looking
for any money or waiting for It."
The money-hating brother Is forty
four years old and came from Austria, j
Before leaving Europe he was one !
aav leaning over a uriuse wmium
bathers below, when the rail against
which h' leaned snapped and he fell
on his head many feet below, strik
ing a pile of lumber. After that he
waa semi-conscious for six months,
find did not recover his mental or
physical strength for a year. That
was 28 years ago.
W1U two of his six brothers, benja-
min and Max. the eccentric one came j
to Newark. He worked with his broth-
ers for a while, left them and worked
In Salomon's tannery for four or five
years. This was the longest he had
ever stayed in one place, and he had
saved up several hundred dollars.
The Chicago World's Fair then was
advertised and Joseph went to the
fair. He lost all his money and be-.-ame
lost to his brothers. They look
ed for him In Chicago, traced him to
farious parts, and finally found that
he was In New York. From time to
hev were told that he had neen
uura . . .
seen over there, and they went to too

Mathematics In Ancient Egypt.
Among recent archaeological discov
eries ui Egypt Is that of a roll of
papyrus in an excellent state of pres.
ervatlon and dating from the year
1700 B. C. The roll has a long title,
part of which reads, "Instructions to
enable one to know the Hark Things,"
and the gist of it suggests that the
Egyptians were good at mathematics.
Without doubt tha Egyptians of that
time possessed a knowledge of the
elements of arithmetic. Numerous ex
amples demonstrate that their prin
cipal operations with Integrals and
fractions were by means of addition
and multiplication; but subtraction
and division were not known in their
present form. However, by a longer
and more invoed process they ar
rived at results pretty accurately. In
the papyrus are found equations, for
example: "Ten measures of barley are
divided between ten persons In such
a way that each succeeding person
receives an eighth less than the per-
; son Immediately preceding him. What
proportion does each one get?" An
j other problem Is: "There are seven
' men, each one of which has seven
j cats; each cat has eaten seven rats;
each rat has eaten seven grains of
' barley; each grain of barley must
have produced seven measures of
: grain. How much grain has been
lost?" The papyrus contains also the
calculation as to the area of a circle,
the quadrature of a circle, and the
cubic measurment of the pyramids.

American Raisin Industry.
The largest Importation of raisins
on record was that of 1884, when a
total of "4. 000.D00 pounds entered the
country, as against but 2,500,000
pounds in the fial year 1911. The
imark-d railing off in Importations of
, " '
I raisins Is the result of the rapid in
crease in domestic production, which
first attained commercial importance
In the early seventies. The American
' raisin industry had its beginning in
i the great San Joaquin valley of Call
! fornia. which Is still the chief pro-
ducing area In the Cnlted States. In
1873 the California crop was but 120,
000 pounds, while In 1910 I! had grown
to 112,000.000 pounds. While these
figures sugRest a growing consump
tion of raisins, the per capita con
sumption of raisins In the I'nlted
States in 1910 was but one and one-
( half pounds, compared with five
pounds in the United Kingdom.

"Oh, mamma!" she exclaimed, T

"So I did, Susie," the mother re
plied. "The Smiths are understood
to be worth millions."
"Mamma," said the child, "I don't
believe a word of It. I think they are
very poor."
'Why, Susie," remarked the aston
ished mother, "how did you get such
an Idea into your head?"
" 'Cause I saw two ladies playing on
a pinno at the same time," was Susie's
response.
"That's often done," mother ex
plained. "The ladies were playing a

SQUIRREL SHOWS DEEP GRIEF j
Mourns Over Severed Head of Mate
With Intensity That Seems Al
most Human.
Almost every public park in the
I'nlted States has its lively and half
domesticated colony of squirrels, and
there is no other creature of the woods
and fields with which city children
may and do become so familiar. An
Interesting story which shows the
dc?rth of feeling which these little ani
mals are capable, comes to the Com
panion from Waterloo, la.:
A physician who lives near one of
the parks in that city had long had
in espeolal interest in a pair of squir
rels which made their home in a tree
within sight of his house. One day ho
noticed that one of this pair was run
ning up and down a certain tree in
the park, meanwhile chattering in the
greatest excitement. Finally the lit
tie fellow appeared on a branch, hold
lag between his paws the severed head
of his mate, over which he was moan
(fig and whining pitifully. On invest!
nation, It appeared that the dead squir
rel had been caught and actually de
capitated by a limb split off from the
tree by a storm of the night before.
The grief-stricken mnte would not
abandon the body all that day, and
mourned over the several head with
an intensity and absorp' Ion which
seemed almost human, with a depth
of emotion indeed, of which some hu-.-nan
beings are hardly capable.
