DISEASES or WINE rAsrrns.

4 German medical paper mentions n scien-
tific investigation by DIR. Donuet of Bor-
deaux, and DIR. Marandon, OF Dion, France,
Of the special diseases of wine tssters, whose
servicosas experts are called into requisition
TO test the qualities of wines and liquors. It
appears that these wine tasters frequently
suffer with disturbances similar to alcohol
ism, although the claret tasters do not swal.
low the wine, but, on the contrary reject IL,
and even rinse their mouths afterward Ono
case mentioned by DR.. Donnct was that OF
man thirty-two years old who used 10 tasto
every day thirty or forty samples of wine
occasionally liquors and rum, without ever
swallowing any part Of them After two
years he became very eXcitablc, lost his ap-
petite, did not slccp well and suffered with
disturbances OF sensibllity, pains in tho
breast, n feeling Of weakness, and IL difficulty
in breathing, lie improved after abaudon-
ing his profession, although nervous de-
bility still remained, AS noticeable by tho fa-
cilty with which he was set in tears Another
statement made by DIR. Donnet is the great
number Of spopleSies in Bordeaux, where
many persons drink one and half litres of
wine with q meal. This number exceeds tho
number Of apoplexies in any city of tho
world. All this serves to illustrate tho fact
that alcohol is indeed an "irritant poison -
and that total abstinence is a safe and wise
rule of conduct.

When n son sees his father slowly going to

MINNEsoTA's. NEW LAW.

The new law in Minnesota which makes tho
drunkard rather than the liquor seller the
criminal is reported 10 be working well. AS
will perhaps he remembered, Ii makes COM
pulsory upon the police magistrate 10 impose
a penalty of thirty days imprisonment upon
any one found guilty OF drunkenness for tho
third time In st. Paul the returns for the
two months In which the law has been in
forco show decrease in the number of ar
rests for drunkenness from 4Si last year 60
446 this. Last year no record was kept OF
''repeaters.n This year there have been only
two cases where any one has been found
guilty of third olfoncs The principle of
this law isnew in America, but is quite COM
monty accepted in Europe. In Austria, for
example, whoever is punished three times
during year for drunkenness can be pro-
hibted from entering places where liquors
are sold for year in the place OF his resi-
denco aud in tho towns Immediately sur
rounding il, Amy infringement of this law
is liable TO penaltyof one months imprlson-
ment, or twenty dollars fine The same
penalties are imposed upon the dealer who
sells the liquor.-Ne0 York Commercial

THE AUSTRALIAN SYSTEM.
A St. Paul Official Thinks 1t Gives
Interpreters a Great Leverage.

City Clerk Prendergast went to Minneapo-
lis to observe the operation of the new sys-
tenn of voting used Tuesday in electing DR..
F. E. Hansen to fill the vacancy in the Min
neapolis board of aldermen caused by the
death of Aid. D. G.. Thompson, of the Eighth
ward. The Australian system of voting was
adopted by the last legislature for use during
general and special elections in this state,
and will be in vogue in st. Paul at the city
election next May. There will be / 10 polling
places, and policeman at every poll. This
would exhaust the limit of the regular force,
and will require the appointment of a num-
Der of extra patrolmen for the occasion.
1t will be another argument in favor
of increasing the police force, as not
only the chief, but a large number of citizens
are In favor Of increasing the present num-
Ders. Mr.. Prendergast thinks the Australian
system may work all right. after it has been
i'll use long enough for the people to get ac
customed to it, though there will be great diff
fculty at first in handling the voters who
cannot read or write. There will be great
chance for the Interpreters who enter the
little calico-curtained stalls with them to in
fiuence their votes, according to the political
persuasion Of the interpreter. AS every voter
is allowed to occupy stall ten minutes to
prepare his ballot great deal of time will be
consumed, and, Mr.. Prendergast thinks the
polls should be kept open an hour later than
8 o'clock, the legal time for closing. Each
polling place must have one stall for every
fifty voters registered.

APARoDY FROM RICHARD
In a Police Court Scene The
City's Offenders.

Peter Peterson, wretched- looking little
cripple. weighing perhaps ninety pounds.
was arraigned in the police court on charge
of committing adultery with Annie Burg,
the wife of Charles Burg, who swore out the
warrant The wronged husband alleged that
his wife had been followed to the room of
Peterson and that she had remained shut up
with Peterson all night. He had no COM
plant to make against his wife for doing
this, but wanted Peterson punished to the
full extent of the law. Peterson's paramount
was not even in court, and the curious
crowd was disappointed at not being per-
mitted to see the woman who could fancy a
fellow of Peterson's build. Peterson waived
an examination and the case went to
the grand jury, bond being fixed in the
sum OF $1,000. The law is such that
Peterson may be sent to the penitentiarv for
two years If the charge is substantiated but
the woman who was party to the crime may
go scot free" unless her husband sees fit
to prefer a charge against her. Peterson
seems to have labored under the impression
that Mrs. Burg was single lady. Had she
been such the punishment would have been
much lighter for the same offense.
G. P. Webb. against whom there are two
charges for selling liquor without license,
was granted a continuance until October IL.
James F. Madden, for disorderly conduct
was sentenced to pass thirteen months far
from the madding crowd. The sentence
was only intended to scare Madden, and was
not executed. Jack Stryker, who struck
man named Kander, will be arraigned in the
police court this morning.

THE OCEAN STORM.

Terrible as it is on the land, it is on
the water that the cyclone gives the
most terrific exhibition of its fury. 1t
has a cleaner sweep on the ocean, with
nothing to check its force or stay its
speed. On the land its work of devas-
tatiOn is confined to the narrow limit of
its pathway. But on the ocean the
storm king is not confined to the course
of his travel, for as his furious breath
falls upon the water the waves are set
in motion on either side of his pathway,
and in little while the great deep is in
c0mmotiOn, the destructive pillows
sweeping on, increasing in volume and
violence as they go, until they lash the
shore with death and destruction in
every angry stroke. The scene along
the North Atlantic coast the earlier
part of the week must have been one of
terrible grandeur; yet it was one that
the coast jewellers do not care to wit
ness again. 1t is scarcely short of a
miracle that the destruction of prop
erty on the coast was not greater, and
that so few human lives were lost. 1t
will perhaps be weeks until the full ex-
tent of the damage to shipping will be
ascertained, and possibly some vessels
went down in the storm whose fate
never will be known.

sEATTLE'S BLIGHT.

Republican doctrine has been reduced
to practice at Seattle in way to seri-
Ously retard the rebuilding of the city,
and fears are entertained that Seattle's
prosperity may be forever blighted. 1t
is all due to the operations of brick
trust, which has secured control of all
the brickyards on the Northern Pacific
coast, and has advanced the price of
brick from IS to SIS a thousand, with
the prospect that the price will be ad-
vanced still higher. The principals in
the trust are three prominent Seattle
Republicans who believe in practicing
what they preach. Protection to home
industries is the specious argument of
the high tariff apostles, and here is a
practical illustration of how 1T oper-
ateS on community. OF all
things else that Seattle stands in
need of now, cheap building ma
terial is the main thing. Immediately
after the great fire there was cOnsidera-
BILE activity among the Seattle people,
who set to work to rebuild the waste
places. Now everything is brought to
a Standstill by reason of the eXtOrtiOnS
of the brick trust. Contractors are los
ing so heaVilynn account of the advance
in the price of brick they are compelled
to throw up their jobs. The wet season
is coming on. which suspends building
operations fer at least three months, so
that many of the builders have con-
cluded to fipish off at the first story, and
wait for lower prices. Thus one mOnOp-
oily blights a whole community under
the specious guiSe of protecting home
Industry.
