We find strange fact in exist

up, while silver is paid ou.. The
following from the United States
Economist, will show the operation
of this anomaly in New York city:
A person has one thousand dollars

Of paying in country bank notes be

his men. Such state of the mon
ey market never occurred before. |:

ORIGIN OF BRANDY.

Brandy began to be distilled ii
France about the year 1913, but il
was prepared only as a medicine, and
was considered as possessing such
marvellous Strengthening and santa
ry powers that the physicians named
it the "water Of life,' e eau de sae,)
a name it still retains, though nov
rendered, by excessive potations, one
Of hfe's most powerful and prevalent
destroyers, Raymond Lully, a dis
ciple of Arnold de Villa Nova, con-
sidereG this admirable essence Divine
TO be an emanation from Divinity,
and that it was Intended to reanimate
and prolong the life of man. He
even thought that this discovery in
dicated that the time had arrived for
the eonsummation of all thipgs-the
end of the world. Before the means
Of determining tie true quantity of
alcohol in spirits were known, the
dealers were in The habit of employ
ing very rude method of forming a
notion of the strength. A given
quantity of the spirits was poured
upon quantity of gunpowder in a
dish and set on fire. If at the end
of the combustion the gunpowder con-
tinaed dry enough it exploded, but If
it had been wetted by the water in
the spirits, the flame Of the alcohol
went out without setting the powder
on Ere. This was called the proof
Spirits which kiudled gunpowder were
said to be above proof.
From the origin Of the term
proof it is obvious that its mean
ing must at first have been very in-
definite. 1t could serve only 70
point out those spirits which were too
weak to kindle gunpowder, but could
not give any information respecting
the relative strength OF those spirits
which were above pIoof. Even the
strength of proof was not fixed, be-
cause it was influenced by the guam
tity of spirits that might be made to
kindle guDpow,ler, while greater
quantity of stronger might fail
Clark, in his hydrometer, which was
invented about 1880, fixed the
strength of pioof spirits on the stem
at the specific gravity Of 0920. at the
temperature of GO degrees. This is
the strength at which proof spirits is
fixed in Great Britain by act of Par
lament, and at this strength it is no
more than mixture Of 40 pounds of
pure alcohol with 81 pounds of wa
ter. Brady, rum, gin and whisky
contain nearly similar proportions.
