POISONED WHISKY.

There Is not one saloon in fifty IN
this city where you can get drink OF
pure whisky. will make 1t stronger.
Forty-nine out of every fifty liquor
dealers are selling whisky which is
neither more nor less than poison. l
would not drink 1t, sir. l would not
allow a dog to drink It,"
This remark, says The Pittsburgh
Press. was made by reputable whole
sale liquor man to reporter. He is
ready, he says, to substantlate his
statement by proof that can not bs de,
uied.
"You do not mean to say that I can
not get good whisky In fine saloon
where l am charged rs cents a glassP"
inquired bystander in amazement.
II will make no distinction between
fine saloons and the holes in the wall.
They all handle tho Same kind of
goods. The cheap saloons may use
little more water in their whisky, but
1t contains no more poison than that
which you purchase in saloon where
oil paintings adorn the walls and high
priced mirrors set of to an advantage
fancy bar-tixings. 1t is all the same.
Fancy saloons must make plenty of
money in order to meet their expenses.
"a law should be passed prohibiting
the certitcation that makes five bar
rels out of one. Some whisky is put
through a certain process whereby n
large quantity of fuscl oil is taken out.
This whisky is purchased by rectiiiers,
who will draw, perhaps, all out of a bar
rel but five gallons, fill up with cologne
spirits. u large percentage of which is
fusel oil. and then add drugs 10 give it
the proper color and taste / was in
the rectifying room of a wholesale
house few days ago. / saw the COM
FOUNDER put several ounces of carbolic
acid in barrel of stuff he had COM
pounded and called whisky. This was,
he said, for the purpose of giving it
head, make it sparkle, sharp, biting.
A barrel of this whisky contains
enough fuscl oil to kill halt dozen
men. would just as willingly take
small dose of poison as drink glass of
it. Step into saloon and take u glass
of this vile stuff and you will feel the
evil results before you cross the TIRES
hold. 1t acts directly upon The brain,
and is keenly felt throughout the sys-
TEN. Men who drink any amount OF it
become wild, lost to their better judg-
mant and reason, and are scarcely re-
spons.ble for what they do. Besides.
they are being slowly poisoned to
death. Young men are stunte in their
vigorous growth, and the energies of
older men are wasted. A law which
allows men to mix up poison and sell
it simply for the purpose Of making
money should be repealed. This
whisky often finds its way into sick
chambers, and the results can be mag
ined.
IAN old liquor man stated to me a
short time ago that he could not hold
his trade and handle pure goods and
in order to meet the demand for cheap
whisky he had been compelled to
adulterate. These statements ] am
ready to prove. Show me man who
adulterates his whisky. and will show
you one that will not drink what he
sells to others

The botanical Garden.

The Mining and Industrial Advocate
of December 23rd. has this to say about
the proposed botanical garden in Los
Angeles county: The people of Los
Angeles are agitating the project of
establishing botanical garden at that
place, and the movement meets with
ravor. The San Fernando Land and
Water Company offers to donate a tract
of ten acres for the purpose. DR.. Briggs
also makes similar offer. The Los
Angeles papers say that both tracts are
admirably adapted to the purpose. Be-
sides being great attraction from the
rare exotics that would be grown, the
garden could be made to produce many
of the medicines now in use 1t could
also be used for acclimating and distrib
uting rare and useful plants and trees.
Probably no part of the State is better
adapted to the purpose.

The 8. IL. 4 L.. A. R,Y.

The line of the new railway from San
Bernardino to Los Angeles is being de-
hected south to a very considerable de-
gree. Tie preliminary line crossed
Euclid avenue in Ontario at Tenth
street, but the road as located crosses
at Eighth street. At Pomona the line is
not yet located, but the supposition is
that it will probably run nearer the old
stage line than the preliminary line was.
The intention is to avoid the heavy
grade near the mouth of the San pimas,
and the road will probably cross the
Azusa country near Covina.

Probably no artistic ever lived who
worked more unremittingly and con-
scietiously than Emma Abbott. In the
closing months of her student life what
she accomplished was truly wonderful.

a constitution little short of iron to en-
dure the tasks eshe imposed upon her.

small as to be carelessly put aside. ln
order to thoroughly prepare herself for
military opera she learned to drum, and
became proficient in the "noble art OF
fencing" Delicate "nuances" OF tone
aud refinements of gesture, to which
most artists never give thought, were
by her studied patiently, pondered over,
polished and repolished for days and
weeks at time. Her voice, though
clear, and even powerful. was in the be-
ginning as unbending as her own ron
will, but by the force of persistent and
careful study it became so flexible and
brilliant that the most difficult fioriture

The Bottom of the Sea.

One-half Of the earlh's surface is
hured IN the amysmal regions of the
ocean. and exists at undulatIng plains
beneath q watery covering from two to
i've miles thick.
On this land at the bottom of the
deep sea, the director of the Challenger
publications. tells us, the conditions
presented are most uniform.
The temperature. near the freezing
point of fresh water. does not exceed
seven degrees in range, and is constant
throughout the year in any locality
sunlight aud plant life are absent, and
although animals of the larger types
are present, there is no great variety
of form or abundance of individuals
Change of any kind is exceedingly
slow.

chiefly n red clay mixed with frag-
ments Of volcanic matter, remains OF

To Temper Steel Hard.

As the hardness of steel depends on
the quiekness with which 1t is cooled.
there are better material than water,
which gives an unequal temper, be-
sides, the steam bubbles developed in
terrupting contact; water is also bad
conductor of heat, and If the bnbbling
and heat did not put IL in motion, 1t
would be unfit for hardening. Water
with plenty of ice In it gives hard
temper: small tools may be stuck into
a piece of ice. jewelers. insert them in
a piece of sealing wax. on is also used
10y them as being better than water, as
II does not evaporate so easily. The
Damascus steel blades are tempered in
Il strong current of cold air passing
through narrow slit; this gives o
much more uniform and equal tenn
perature than water. But the most ef-
fectlye liquid IS the only liquid metal
mercury. This being good conductor
Of heat, in fact the very best liquid
conductor. and the only cold one, ap-
pears to be the hest one for hardening
steelcutting tools. The best steel
when forged into shape and hardened
in mercury will cut almost anything.
We have seen articles made from or
dinary steel, which have been harden
ed and tempered TO straw color. turn.
ed with comparative ease with cutting
tools from good tool-steel hardened In
