oember he visited dozen Of the best kept
liquor stores in the neigh borhood and
bought pint samples Of their best gin,
whisky, brandy, port wine, sherry, etc.
These he had taken TO expert chemists for
careful analysis
"In the sample of pure Holland gln,'n
said he, I'VE found neutral spirits, rotten
corn. juniper berries, turpentine and vitriol
We dropped the white Of an egg and an
oyster, both easily digestible articles, into
this compound and saw them shrivsl up into
hard, stringy mGssas. This shows how
nicely drop OF gin aids digestion.
ia the sample of fine old handmade
Kentucky whisky" be continued, "we
found neutral spiriNs, glycerine, sulpbate of
zinc, chronic acid, creosote, unslaked lime
and fnsel oil. Now. fifteen drachms of fusel
oil evaporated in a box will make the
toughest cat you can put in that box in
sensible in less than an hour.
POISON IN ALL.
but the port wine" said Mr.. Peters,
that rich, fruity drink which solid resoect-
ability is proud to take after dinner-that

we found in the best sample that | could
buys Well, there were neutral acid, glys-
crime, licorice. zinc, mercury, autimcny,
salts OF tartar and ether, muriatic acid and

POLICE PROTECTION.
zone ounce Of whisky continued the
speaker, sis good big drink There are
12s of these in O gallon, which at 10 cents a
drink brings In $12 so for what costs the
saloonkeeper just 81 20. But how is it
these 5000 are allowed TO stay open beyond
their legal hours and have their petty
crimes winked atg It is not police stupidity.
1t Is police completely.
by police mean not patrolmen, but
the captains and commissioners who, by
the elaborate system of blackmail they main
tain on these saloons, live like princes
though they not so long ago were paupers
know a little ssloonkeeper in this town
who told me only short time ago that be
put up 81 a week to the police regularly
for the privilege of keeping open on Sun
day. II ali his compani ons were taxed the
same small amount there would still be the
neat sum OF 100000 per year spent for
police protection"
