Why Do THEY USESALT?-T Lancet
calls attention 10 the increasing adultcration
ofbccr with salt. especially i'll East London
where one analyst reported that twcnty-tour
samples, examined ny him during the last
quarter. contained salt. The quantity Of salt
though not stated. is presumed to have
been sufficient to constitute 4 case OF adul-
tel;stion. The Lancet says: The purpose
Of the salt is, Of course, 10 make the beer
drinlscr thirsty. and to induce him to drink
more than he first intended;' and it adds
that the oilcnSc is Il crime which ought to
be punished with exceeding severity" 1t
does not seem probable that this is the true
motive OF the drink sellers in adding salt.
inasmuch Is the quantity used would hard
ly have the effect attributed 10 il. 1t may
have been added by the brewer with an idea
To prcscrvutiyc action. or by the dealer TO
restore the flavor partially destroyed by the
dilutiOu Of the beer with water

about three hundred land birds Of different
kinds came aboard of the schooner when
the vessel was of the New Jersey coast
and there remained until the Denike sailed
South almost AZ lar us Il point off the Char
lesion bar. The birds were pcrchcd i'll the
rigging. Oh The running rails, running TO
and fro about the decks and kept up con-
tinull chipping. The crew could hardly
move about without stepping on their musi-
cal shipmates. The captain ordered his
men not 20 modest the songsters, and the
scamen fed them often on small grain and
bread-crumbs. so that the members of the
teathercd tribe finally seemed to have deci-
ded to keep company with the vessel all
the way to Savannah But one day. when
the schooner was off the South Carolina
coast, the entire flock took wing, and in I,
lew minutes was out of sight, hut heading
toward the land. The captain says it is Il
matter of common occurrence for one or two
birds to come aboard his vessel when ut sea,
but he never heard of or saw so many OF

comparison Of the debt statement of
June 80, 1852, with the debt statement
of August 81, 1865, will show at a glance
the wonderful achievement of seventeen
years ofrepublican policy. There has been
a reduction in the interest bearing debt
OF S937 ,7l9, S94, and in annual interest
of SOC, 1913, 1913. About $50 900, OO0 ofthis
saving OF interest has been in consequence
OF the reduction OF the principal of the
debt and about so, 600 600 has been in
consequence of the improved credit of the
government. The average interest on the
debt at the close Of the war was &c per
cent. the average interest to dav is :}e
per cent. The debt per capita at the
close OF the war was S7S.25, the debt per
"a "a n IaU is, AZ
interest per capita was 81 % at the close
OF the war; to-day it is about 81.
The reduction Of the rate of interest is
one OF the most gratifying features of the
management of the public debt 1t is a
work which is going steadily onward.
The average rate has gone down from &c
per cent. at the close Of the war to 3.s per
cent. at the present time, and Congress is
now considering the proprety and feast
blllty OF issuing2 per cent. bonds to be ex-
changed for the three and halls or threes.
Whether this provision will prevail or not.
there is no doubt that the 3 per cents. will
be taken. This will place our government
as to credit upon higher place than that
occupied by any other nation in the world.
ALREADY we can clearly see, " SAYS Mr..
Dlngley, chat by i continuation of the
Republican financial policy within twenty
five years every dollar of the immense ex-
penditure necessitated to preserve the
life of the nation can bepaid The aver
age annual reduction of the principal of
the national debt since the close of the
war has been about 500, 900, the larg-
est reduction being in the fiscal year just
closed, and the next in 1867; and this
rate OF reduction in the future will ex-
| tingnish the interest bearing debt by the
time the last series of bonds become pay
able, in 1907"
