Whoop! Well, Mr.. Financier, you

DR.. Samuel Eliot often appears in the

of that kind recalls peculiar incident
in which DR.. Eliot, Charles W., prcsi-

Boston Methodist preachers, and Presi-

warning to keep England out Of the
Egyptian muddle, Lord Beaconsfeld
bought the khediye's shares in the
canal in 1876 for 500 coo, eco. Most of the
money went directly to English and
French spectators and bondholders.
The Khedive had voluntarily alienated

NaphGha III Whisky,

Some people doubt the presence OF
naphtha in the worst kind of whisky
and other liquor. but the bartender in
any very low saloon will tell you, saws
the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat, that a
large quantity of worthless liquor is
toned up with this horrible liquid, and
that some men positively like the mix
ture. 1t used to be common practice
in chemical works throughout the
world to adulterate alcohol used in
manufacturing with naphtha, with a
view of preventing bibulous workmen
from drinking it.
The practice is not so universal now.

Deli ghtful Poison.

Wine is reputed to have been discov-
cred by Jemsheed, the found er OF PEI
sepolls, the famous capital OF ancient
Persia. He was great lover of grapes,
and in order to have them all the year
round had large quantities packed away
in enormous earthen jars.
After standing alone for some Il me
one of the jars opened and the grapes
were found IN a state Of fermentation.
Jemsheed imagined that the resultant
liquid was poisonous and accordingly
had it placed IN other jars which were
labeled "poison" and conveyed to his
bed chamber.
One Of the ladies of the harem hap
pened one day to be suffering from q
severe headache. So great was the
pain that she was driven to the verge
of distraction, and spying one Of the
vessels containing the grape Juice, I'M
medlately opened it and took cOpious
draught Of the supposed poison. The
wine mounted to her head, overpoW-
cred her senses and she sank into pro-
found sleep, from which she aWoke
greatly refreshed.
The remedy proved SO enticing that
she INDUCED in it whenever an opportu-
nifty presented, until at last the Jars
were emptied, says the Detroit Free
Press.
Soon after the King, being DESTROYS Of

Immediately Instituted an inquiry as to
who had had the audacity. not to say fool
hardness, to tamper with the royal
stores. This resulted in the discovery Of
the culprit, who confessed, and after ex-
planning the delightful effect produced
by the liquor, was fully forgiven by
His Majesty.
He ordered generous quantity of
wine to be made, and, with his court,
reveled in the delights of wine drink
ing for many years thereafter. From
that time to the present day the Per
