Here begins one OF the most curious
episodes of the war. Grant was just

How They Make Old Whisky.

A way has been found OF aging whls-

writer two samples OF what he called

were equally good. he said. in color.
bouquet taste. and every other quail
ty, and yet the 1887 sample was sold
Mt $40 less barrel than the other.
In other words, tho whisky makers
can now furnish thrcc mouths arti-
Gle equal in every respect to that which
is three years old.
BY this process they save the three
years storage. interest and evapora-
ton. The purchases generally gets tho
benefit of this. The new process con-
sists. briefly. OF rocking the barrels
day and night on patented cradles. 7"
Charred barrels are used. as is custom
ary--that is to say the barrel is burned
out before tho whisky is put In. thus
converting the inner surface into char
coal. The constant motion for three
months dissipates the fusel oil and inn
parts the rich color which new whisky
has hitherto never had lcgitimately.- -

charity. but by appealing to gross
taste in the public. which loves the
limelight on the actors face. and the
toes out OF the beggar's boots. There
is true poverty which no one sees, a
false and merely mimetic poverty,
which usurps its place and dress. and
lives, and above all drinks. on the
fruits of usurpation. The true poverty
does not GO into the streets; the banker
may rest assured. he has never put n
penny in its hand. The self-respecting
poor beg from each other; never from
the rich. To live in the frock- coated
ranks of life, to hear cantng scenes of
