There are two pcculiarities about cham
pagnc drinking which are capable of cx-
PLANTATION. The one is the rapidity with
which the wine exhilarates. notwithstand-
ing tho small proportion Of alcohol it con-
tains. This Is due to the carbonic acid gas
evolved, which is inhaled while drinking,
for 1t is tho property of this gas TO expedite
the action of anything with which 1t is
associated. 1t is estimated that one glass
of champagne is equal in effect to two
glasses Of still wine of the same strength
and is more rapid I'm action. The other
popularity is the sort of lethargy or dead
ness which follows after excessive cham
payne drinking. This is analogous to the
stupor produced by carbonio acid gas, but
IL Is assisted and intensified by the excess
of sugar deranging the stomach. The un-
digested sugar turns into acid, sand thus
it is that TOO much champagne is apt to
produce dyspepsia. New York Recorder.
