PUSHING TRADE in AMERICA.

Many Tricks Resorted 20 BY EufopsaA
Dealers IN Wines and Liquors.
There Is trick in the champagne,
md in fact in all wine and liquor
trades, known rs pushing" A French
house which casts envious eyes on tho
American market has to ''push" its
wine to get it sold here. The agents
resort to all manner Of expedients to
sell their wine. They give prizes to
head bartenders, stewards, etc. They
create fictitious demand by asking
for certain brand in hotels and res
taurants where that particular brand
Is not in stock. They employ their
men to make the rounds" and do the
same thing. When they are with .
crowd they order their own brand, pay
for it and make tho rest OF the pait ty
drink it. Then, of course, the next
man who orders calls for the same
wine. This pushing" of wines makes
1t impossible to judge Of the American
taste for any one particular cham
pagne. One brand may be pushed"
into demand one year and allowed to
fall from grace in the next The idea.
according to the New York Tribune.
Is to spend great deal of money one
year in getting wine before the pub
lie and then to make large profit on
succeeding years. 1t is living on ones
reputation. So that if the sale of q
few brands increases from year TO year
that is not fair estimate from which
TO draw conclusions, and the same
holds true if the sale of few brands
decreases. But when we take twenty
three American agents and compare
their sales for two years we get good
idea of the whole trade in this country.
Outside of those twenty-three houses
all other agents in this country
brought here in 1892 only o,se6 cases.
Last year "all other agents" imported
s,227. The imports for 1892 Of twenty
three agents and all others were $780,
s22 cases, but last year they fell of to
e7s, $40. This is decrease of 72, 102
cases, representing wine which would
cost the consumer over S., ,000, 900. But
. consumption of 27s.520 cases, most
people will say who have not the finan-
:ial taste for champagne, is very
great deal

GOOD MANNERS.

HiphIv Cultivated Exterior Dosss Not
Always Portend Civilized Heart.
Politeness has been well defined as
ssbenevolence in small things" and
true lady is easily recognized by her
regard for the rights and feelings OF
others. in trifes as well as the import
ant affairs of life. Indeed, most people
end it easy to be generous or magnani-
nous upon great occasions; but to con-
tinually do little acts of kindness and
helpfulness, which, as Lowell says In
his beautiful poem to his wife, "others
leave undone," and which require con-
slant self-forgetfulness and sacrifice,
is not easy.
Good manners are either the natural
expression of good heart, or the dis
cipline which restrains the natural
expression of one not so good;
and since human nature is far from
perfect it must be confessed that
good manners are, unlike the ira
ditional poet, oftener made than
born, and that true courtesy Is on
The whole the flower of a high civiliza-
ton and art rather than instinct. One
Of the severest tests of ordinary cour-
tesy is in conversation or argument in
volving strong counter convictions In
religious discussion, for instance, few
persons are Christian enough to uphold
their deeply-rooted and cherished be-
iefs in opposition to those of another
in Christ like spirit. And political
disagreements often discover persons
of fhighly-cultivated exterior to be bar
barians at heart The exponent of one
party seems to believe all the degrade
ton in the world to be embodied in the
other, and he finds it impossible to hate
the sin and love the sinner.
In all disagreement propositions are
easily confounded with persons, and
the former speedily assumes. infnites-
imal proportions in comparison with
the personal feud which RACES be-
tween the disputants A southern
maiden, whose ardor was truer than
her spelling, wrote to her lover in the
confederate army, fSend me Llncoln's
scalp!" And a similar barbaric desire
to crush and blot out an opponent ex-
tends metaphorically into almost every
argument based upon strong and ardent
difference of opinion. The old school
mistress who charged 'Saxpence for
them who larned to read and saa.pence
for them who larned manners" would
seem to have been little patronized in
her latter branch of instruction
Probably people will eventually be
forced into courtesy by the great ad-
vantages of cooperation in science. lit
erature and art. A sort of combina-
ton or trust. will be formed in polite
ness, and opposition in opinion will be
easily compatible with underlying
unity of spirit t-Philadelphia Press.

NOT EASILY DISCOURAGED.

The Ssaart Boy Was Bound to Get the
Olc-Time Cat Out of the Well.
At one of the uptown grammar
schools a mathematical prodigy turned
ap the other day to the surprise and
sstonishment of the peripatetic prob
lem proposer, who for once was tripped
up by an unsophisticatedy youth
The gentleman in question called at
the school and asked permission to in
terrogate the brightest boy in arithme-
tic, and upon John being called to the
recitation bench with a huge double
slate and brand-new soapstone PEN
ell ready for the fray, the visitor
launched the following naughty prob
lem for solution, which has done ser
vice SO long:
There is well one hundred feet
deep, into which cat has fallen, and
every time the cat climbs up two feet
it falls back four feet; how long will it
take before the animal is rescued from
the we'll? Do you think you can solve
this problem. John?" asked the inter-
!ocutor, with wonderfully wise look.
'Oh, yes. sir, / can figure that cat out
If that well sure"
So right to work he went, and in
few minutes had all sides of his slate
covered with figures. A second slate
was furnished, and that was soon
illed up with computations With .
sarcastic look, the visitor said: -
John, you might as well give up
this contest. for the solution is abso-
.utely impossible"
'Oh. no, SIR" exclaimed the smart
boy "If can get another slate I'll

ESCAPING CONTAGlON.
The Insidious Ways of the Dread Ger
of Disease.

The Insidious Ways of the Dread Germs
of Disease.
The sad case of Doctor Stebbins, OF
the Boston City hospital. who died re-
Gently from diphtheria, contracted
while pursuing his professional duties
as admitting physician to the hospital
may have brought to the minds OF
many the often repeated inquiry as to
the manner in which immunity from
contagion is secured by doctors, nurses
and others, whose business brings
them so often in direct contact with
infectious diseases
The answer must be somewhat gem
eral, as well as repetition of what
has many times been given, but it is
not the less worth needing on that ac-
count
The two greatest safeguards against
infection are strong vitality and care
fully selected hygienic surroundings
The perfected human organism, con-
stantly and properly nourished, and
with plenty of fresh air, is almost in
vincible against the invasion of dis
ease. 1t is simply a question of the
survival of the superior. Disease,
which is the weaker, is put to rout by
good health, Just as darkness vanishes
at the approach of light.
The strength of disease lies in taking
its victim off his guard. In fact. its at
tachs are mostly made in ambush. as it
were, insidiously and against the weak
est spot in the arInor of its victim.
Let person, in no matter how good
health, contract a slight cold or get
over-fatigued. and Immediately his very
strength becomes source of weakness
The stronger and more virulent types
of disease find vantage-ground, and a
Eght begins which lasts the longer and
is the harder, as the opposing forces
are the more equally matched in
strength.
1t is easy to see that even physi-
clan, overtaxed with work and suffer
| ing somewhat from a consequent neg
lect of hygienic laws, may finally sue
| cumb to the disease amid which he lin

rJust elected President Of the L A WI
seemed to realize the uselessness OF
any such wrangles, and happily stored
clear of them.
The dues were raised from 81 to S1.5
This action will certainly result in
decrease in membership, for awhile at
least. In the long run it will undoubt-
edly result in a better class of mem
bers. If not in larger membership.
Moreover the move was an absolute
necessity. The report of the auditing
committee showed conclusively that
the league stands to-day in position
of bankruptcy.
1t showed as well that Good Roads
had cost the league in actual money
paid out of the treasury over $4,000,
and in contributions over $1,000, or
considerably over $4,000 In all, for
which there is nothing to show to-day
but a magazine that is losing money
ON every issue. It was the sentiment
of the assembly that the work for
good roads must be continued, but
that the cost must be reduced. The
magazine will be sent in future only to
members Of the league who subscribe
for it at cost price, 80 cents.
The long-agitated question OF
barring negroes from membership
was carried. It will be subject for
comment for short time and will
then be forgotten except as the growth
of the league in the south recalls to
mind the fight the southern wheelmen
made on this question.
Among many other things done may
be mentioned as particularly impor.
tant the adoption of the amendments
providing for the establishing of di-
Visions and subdivisions in states hav.
Ing 100 and 80 members, respectively,
the authority vested in the executive
committee to revoke the certificate OF
league clubs in the interest OF prevent
ing fraudulent representation on state
boards, and the added duty of the
transportation committee to take
charge of the matter of recovering
stolen wheels.
The changes made were, as far as
can be judged now, for the best
thinks Chicago Bearings. They will
give the league greater scope and IN
the end result in much good for the
members themselves and the great
public as well. With most excellent
set of executive officers to carry out the
changes, the results can hardly fail *
