Beer and Wine

The increase IN wine drinking and the
fact that many men drink wine to-day
who formerly drank whisky, combined
with enormous consumption of beer, has
reduced the number Of delirium tremens
cases for the physicians. II remember .
said an old physician to a Cincinnati En-.
qutrer reporter, when twenty years ago I
had an average of half dozen cases of de-
lirium tremens to treat every week. Now I
do not have one month. Men drink more
beer and wine these days, which is
one OF the causes of the decrease of
the number of cases of d. t. Another
cause" with smile, ''is that the whisky
is so poor to-day that man can't absorb
enough of it to get the jim-jams.' His
stomach revolts, and that little revolution
saves him from an awful experience with
the animals in the d. t. menegerie.p

Elephants Chewing Gum.

A funny story of elephants comes from
the philadelphia Geological Garden. A few
days ago three elephants were discovered
quietly chewing gum, with all the appar-
ent enjoyment of the school girl. They had
supplied themselves with the article in the
shape of fifty feet of garden hose, which is
attached to hydrant in the building and
used for cleaning out the stalls. When not
in use the hose is stretched at length on the
hoor, Immediately beneath the elephant
cages. In reaching for nuts one of the
beasts had accidentally found the hose and
drawn it into the cage. All had then taken
share, and when discovered had succeeded
IN running the entire length of the hose.

GENERAL BOULANGER.
One of His Old Followers Declares He Is
Dead to the Country.

PARIS, December 24th.-Boulanger was the
Chamber of Deputies yesterday. A year ago. at
the election in the constituency of Mont Martre,
Boulanger headed the poll. His votes how
ever, were rejected, and the seat was awarded
to Joffris. The latter died month ago, and an
election was ordered. Boulanger sent mani
festo advising his partisans to remain neutral at
the election on the ground that he was the
rightful member. There were many candidates,
and none received the requisite majority. An
other election was held, soon after Boulanger
repeating his manifesto, but at this time Levy
was elected. Boulanger's friends then deter
mined to press his old claim to the seat before
the Cham&er. This was done yesterday, and it
was rejected. The feature of the debate was
the speech of Laguerre, formerly an ardent
supporter of Boulanger. He said he voted
against the claim Of his old leader from motives
OF public policy. Boulanger was dead, and the
sooner this fact was recognized the better for
the country.

A Compromise Between Parnen and His

form.
A GLADSTONE VICTORY.
DUBLIN, December 24th.--U United Ireland, re-
ferring to the election in North Kilkenny, says
Kilkenny has declared for Gladstone against
Parnell. The battle was fought with every
weapon that hatred, malice, ingratitude and
treachery could supply. Behind the mutineers
were priests, eager 10 regain the power Parnell
secured for Ireland ten years ago. They sane
toned methods of warfare hitherto unused, and
open fighting was supplemented by secret in

secured a victory in Kilkenny. it must be re-

shall be forced to renew the wage of battle at
every spot on irish soil, from its center to the

OLEOMARGARINE.
A Pennsylvania Law Forbidding its Sale
Declared Unconsti tutfonal

PHILADELPHIA, December 2ith.-Judge Reed
to-day rendered a decision holding tnat the
State law forbidding the sale of oleomargeline
in packages, as originally imported from
another State, is unconstitutional
The decision, which is lengthy one, finds
that the right of the Sate to enact police laws,
when such laws prohibits the sale of articles
which, without prohibition, would be legiti-
mate subjects of commercial interchange is
subordinate to the power of the United States
to regulate interstate commerce. The right to
sell in original packages, if the goods are mer.

and though it can be regulated, it cannot be
prohibited By any State. The United States has
paramount right TO declare what goods are
merchantable and what regulations of their
sale are reasonable, and by an Act of Congress
the United States has declared oleomargsrine
to be a merchantable article, and has regulated
its sale. As the Pennsylvania statue involved
does not regulate, but prohibits the sale of
oleomargarine, it cannot apply TO the goods
described in the special verdict
