the Wine and Spirit Gazette, "has
just appropriated $4,000 of mon

This simply shows that liquor
selling contributes largely to the

much does prohibition contributed

tion, where will one be found?

that strong drink is directly re-

Punished for Curiosity.

1t is dangerous to crafty curiosity or to
violate precedent at the Chinese Imperial
court The Empress dowager is a great
stickler for etiquette. Recently she required
the services of DR.. Ii Te-chiang. vice-presi-
dent of the Imperial Academy of Physicians at
Pekin for one of the members of her suite
at Echo Park Palace. The learned doctor had
never been inside these famous palace
grounds and his curiosity was fired to see the
many curious objects, of which he had heard
wonderful tales So he bribed palace eunuch
tc show him ground the grounds.
While the two were leisurely walking about
aud enjoying themselves the Empress spied
them. She at once dispatched servants to
punish their effrontery. The eunuch was
seized, thrown on his face, and accommodated
with fifty blows with the bamboo on the calves
of his fat legs. the doctor was docked three
months pay and received a severe reprimand,
while his assistant was ordered never to VEN
ture again into the Empress presence.
The affair created u sensation because of
the high position of the physician and of the
humiliating punishment dealt out 10 him.
