But it is in the native California wines
that the most wonderful growth in con-
sumption in the east is shown. The re.
ceipts last year by water were far in ey'
cess OF what they ever were before.
The demand for California wines, it is
thought, will in few years exceed the
supply. The receipts at New York last
year were S,6os,OOO gallons by water.
while the shipments by rail amounted
to 100000 gallons. The arrivals of
California brandy showed a correspond.
ing increase, being 100000 gallons by
ship and 400, 900 gallons by rail. The re-
ceipts at New York of domestic whisky
last year were 81, 400 barrels and of al.
cohol 107,675 barrels.-N. Y. World.

There are hundreds Of mothers all over the
Who are pleading to-day, with'penniless hand,
For help to support the children they love,
Whose fathers have left home beggars to

Although it seems hard to censure or blame,
Yet 'twould have been better to all tits quite

Postmaster Shattuck as gentleman
asked him for some postal pasteboards,
yesterday.
"Give me three" said the inquirer, a.
he hastily looked at his hand.
Another gentleman just behind, who
was waiting, here "chipped in" with
the remark that he ''would take FIVE. "
The number was promptly shufaed out
to him.
Then as the gentlemen stood there
looking at each other, funny thought
seemed to stike them simultaneously,
and they smiled, punched their hands,
and quietly separated.-Titusville Her

He Appreciated Courtesy.

Mr.. Kulpepper, an epicurean smoker,
was travelling on railway with pas
senger from Berlin who was smoking u
horrid cigar. AS all hints and signs
proved 'unavailing, Mr.. Kulpepper had
recourse to an often tried experiment.
Rising from his seat, he politely said:
"Will you allow me to open the win.
iow?"
At the same time he quite acct
dentally" brushed against the hand O,
his fellow-passenger, causing him to
drop his cigar. Mr.. Kulpepper had the
additional misfortune to step on it and
said, in alarm:
ooh! beg thousand pardons. Al.
low me to offer you one of mine. They
are not half bad"
with your kind permission" an
swered the Berliner, quite pleased. He
took three cigars out Of the case pre-
sented to him and put them into his
pocket, saying:
"These are q first-rate brand. III

very degradation which renders it nee.
essary that vicious women should have
the protection 'of good women. They
can not be left to the care of brutal
men, to be at once tempters and vic
Tins; they can not be left to the care Of
men of better feelings, forcing these to
repress all that ~ best in them: they
must be placed in the hands of women

them from themselves, and lead them

The Austie's limit of health was two
ounces of alcohol day. This quantity
would increase the pulsations of the

using on an average over three ounces
daily of alcohol.-Journal of Inebriety,
