milton of the Mills tariff bill. This ir.tGr
entail Democratic newspaper goes on to
make most gloomy predictions of the

The local committee for the Republican
convention of four years ago raised $25, 900
to defray expenses. The management
,@as economical, almost to the point of
excessive closeness, and nearly one-half
of each subscription was returned to the
subscriber. 1t is proposed to raise
$4,000 this time, and it is probably
safe to say that q smaller percent
age will be returned. In the matter Of
decorations especially, about which there
was some criticism at the last Republican
convention, a much larger outlay is ex-
pected, though it may be doubted whether
the facilities for display Of this character
which were found in the Exposition hall
will be equaled upon the severer lines of
the new auditorium, where the conven-
ton will be held.
The hotel capacity Of Chicago is large,
and those prominent In this line have
guaranteed that there will be no raise in
rates. Two of the leading proprietors
have subscribed $1,000 each to the fund.
The railroads have also contributed liber.

Trick. in the Win. Trade.

Two Parisians named Berard and Four
cade have just been sentenced TO six and
twelve months. imprisonment. respect
lively. for having practieed series of very
ingenious frauds on keepers OF public
houses in the metropolis They were in
the habit of visiting the landlords and
offering them barrels Of excellent wine at
greatly reduced prices The liquor which
they gave the publjcans to taste was
superb. and the bargain was generally
concluded on the spot. few days after
ward the unlucky dealer found that the
wine which he had bought was detestable
Since their conviction the men have made
q full confession Berard used to keep a
small bottle of good wine up his sleeve.
and when he made pretense of filling the
glass from the barrel he was in reality
giving his customer the contents Of this
bottle to taste The trick was carried out
with considerable address. and was never
detected by his dupes.
Another dodge. to quote his own ex
preston. was to pour into barrel of 200
litres forty litrcs of frst-class wine. The
remainder of the barrel was then filled up
with water. slowly inserted by means of
pipe. The wine remained at the top.
the barrel was pierced high up, and the
buyer was again persuaded to taste the
liquor to show there was no deception
Delighted with his bargain he put down
the money then and there. only to dis
cover after brief lapse of time that he
had been cheated outrageously.-Cor

Moral influence of Climate.

Modern French scientists are nothing II
not methodical. and have repeatedly called
attention to the curious regularity in the
geographical distribution of certain vices
and virtues: intemperance. for instance,
north of the forty eighth parallel: sexual
alterations south of the forty fifth: fnan
cial extravaganza III large seaport towns.
thrift in pastoral highland regions 1t is.
indeed. a remarkable circumstance that in
the home of the best wine grapes. il
Greece and southern Spain. drunkenness
is far less prevalent than in Scotland, or
in Russian Poland, where Bacchus can
tempt his votaries only with nauseous
vodka
The idea that low temperature begets
an instructive craving for alcoholic tonics
seems disproved by the teetotalism of the
Patagonian savages. who horsewhip every
Spanish stimulant monger without benefit
of clergy The Lesghian mountaineers
too. observe the interdict of the Koran
in the icy summit regions Of the Cau
casus; but there is no doubt that the
bracing influence of cold climate affords
a certain degree of immunity from the
delibitating effect of the alcohol vice. and
that Scandinavian peasant can for years
survive the effects of a daily dose of
alcohol that would kill an Egyptian fellah
in single month.-Felix L. Oswald. NJ D..
