DRINK HABIT DYING OUT,
Some Facts Which Point to Such q
Conclusion.

Conclusion.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin
It rs only a natural deduction from other
facts that the drink habit Is falling Of. One
of these Is the common practice Of railroads
and other corporations to require not merely
temperance. but total abstinence, on the
part of their employees. This at once with
draws from the saloons the patronage of a
large body of men. most of them young men,
who are the best patrons Of such places
when they patronize them at an The Chris
ton Endeavor movement. which has had
such wonderful success in gathering young
men to its banner. is another potent enemy
Of drink, and withholds from the saloons
many thousands yearly.
Still another adverse influence is that of
society. There is plenty of drinking done In
society. and society smiles on II, but, all the
same. when mans character is under dis
cussion in society. the admission that he
drinks little now and then" always counts
against him. That is really the meaning of
the screened doors and frosted windows of
the saloons; it is not reputable for a man to
be seen drinking. and this consideration has
its influence in restraining the habit.
1t is tolerably plain, then, that the use of
Intoxicating liquor is on the wane. II will
be long time before it will cease entirely
If 1t ever does but each succeeding genera
ton is Soberer than the one before it. In
time, perhaps in a comparatively few years.
drink will become the dissipation of the few
instead Of, as now, the vice Of the many.

MIXED DRINKS THESE.
Startling Results of Analysis of LII

Startling Results of Analysis of Lii
quOrs Sold Over Boston Bars.
From the Boston Herald.
An effort has been made by the state
beard of health to determine the quality Of
liquor sold over the bar In the ordinary
city saloons.
The results are somewhat startling. Ac
cording to analysis made of samples col
Iected, a devotee of the cup might call for
whisky and drink brandy; he might order
rum and get whisky; in fact, the combina-
tons evolved by the board are as numerous
as those in political struggle
In the soft drinks, so-called, ale and beer,
a common custom seems to be to preserve
them by the addition of salicylic acid. This
drug is everywhere recognized as harmful
In the analysis of samples of whisky one,
with 20 per cent of alcohol, had for the re-
nainder of it's ingredients an excess Of
taunic acid and the balance brandy. In
another case the whisky was chiefly
brandy.
Under the head rum" two cases were
practically alcohol and water another
chiefly whisky favored with acetic ether"
and fourth Chiefly brandy
The beer was designated in several IN
stances as ''salicylic acid and fusel OIL"
and In other cases by one of the two above
named poisons.

Results In Various Diseases.
From Cosmos.
The Mohammelans, in their additions re-
religious practice has, It appears, become
an cement of modern Therapeutics At the
reunion of SWISS physicians held this year
at Ouchy, DR.. Suchard read a paper on the
saltd bath. Invalids have been completely
or partially cured by sand heated to a tenn
from 40 degrees to 65 degrees c. The sand,
containing air between its particles and be-
ing bad conductor of heat, transmits 1t in
a gentle and almost inseDsible manner.
Precipitation Is favored up to the point
where patient may lose two quarts Of
liquid in one sand bath. Thanks to this
evaporation. the invalid may support con-
tinued high temperature without the actual
temperature Of the body rising more than
a few degrees. and this without fear Of
heart affectro1s, If care be taken to put
hot sand on the feet at the outset. The
number of ailments that may be treated
by this powerful curative agent is consider
able.
In the first place, it is especially beneficial
to chronic rheumatism and to govt. Neu-
ralgia and sefatica are cured or benefited

organic troubles Of the nervous system.
cardiac or digestive affections, have been
treated by this method. sometimes with re-
nlarkable success. The same is true of
tubercuIouS affections of the bones and
joints. The account given by DR.. Suchard
contains statistical tables relating to more
than 100 patients annually.

HE BEAT THE TOWN.
An Incident of His Departure Which
Was Subsequently Explained.
From Lfppincott's.


From Lfppincott's.
The whistle footed a warning note the
bell rang. and the colonel cordially shook
hands all around. Stepping on the rear
platform Of the train, he turned about once
more and waved his good-byes to persons in
the distance. Just at the moment that the
marshafs star cleaning on his vest-:he
ming avenue from the post Office, a yellow
paper IN his hand, which he waved dra-
mat!calIy over his head.
stop that train yelled the town mar
shall: but the conductor and engineer did
not hear. and the train moved on.
JuTp.you scoundrel, jump!' again yelled
Hank. at the same time drawing his gun
The cOlonefs only answer was a polite
wave Of the hand. Then Hank took a snap
shot at the fast departing train, and-would
you believe h?-that little old man whipped
out two pistols from somewhere, quick as
wink. and for few moments the way
the bullets whistled about the heads Of the
crowd along the track was something Won
derful. And as the train grew smaller and
smaller In IT'S stradghtway course over the
prairie. the last act Of the lone passenger
ON the rear platform was to wave a white
handkerchief toward the little city Of
Lartat and disappear within the car.
The town marshal replaced his gun TN his
hip pocket and turned sadly away Deaf
to repeated inquiries to the meaning of
it all. he disappeared within the editorial
sanctum: for in the midst Of all excitement
he still remembered that. ex-efficio. he was
an editor, and-he was both thrifty and a
cautious man.
An hour later another edition Of the Ex-
ponent appeared. double loaded. as If in
mourning. and the copies sold for a dollar
apiece. The editorial was brief and TO the
point:

forced to state that the grean5acks which
Rogers so generously distributed while in
Larfat are clever counterfeitS, in exchange
for which he carried away thousands of
dollars of our citizens earnings.

JACK RABBIT DAY.
Thousands of Creatures Killed by the

Lamar Col, Dec - The annual

jack rabbits were brought TO this
place as the result OF the hunt. This
is not "A rabbit drive such as they
have in California, Kansas and other
western states where the rabbits are
slaughtered Each man has Win

OF skill in rapid sharp shooting. Each
year after the hunt the rabbits are
brought here from the fields and are
stretched upon rack two hundred
feet long and six feet high. They
are photographed and then taken
down and sent to the hospitals and
different charitable institutions near
here and in Denver. Jack rabbit day
is great day for the people around
here, the merchants close their stores
and business is generally suspended
The special trains which run into the
town from Denver and other cities are
filled with enthusiastic visitors who
are anxious to try their skill on the
and frisky jack. When the
hunters arc gathered on the prairios
near here where the rabbits are the
thickest, and the command fIt is
given, there is sound as If a squad

There are more dinners yet The
secretary of state will given one 10 the
diplomatic corps, and this will be little
less important than the one given to
the same guests by the president, The
cabinet officers will Try 10 dine one an
other at least once during the winter,
and the embassies and leading lega-
tons will exchange such courtesieS
freely
Dinners will not alone constitute the
social excitement in the capital There
will be receptions galore. AT the
white house the first will be the new
years day reception. The next, the
diplomatic reception, al night from 9
until IL o'clock. Following this will
be the judiciary and congressional re-
ception, during the same hours; next,
the army and navy reception, and final
~ the second reception to the people,
which closes the season. The diplo-
matte and army and navy receptions
Will be elaborate, by reason Of their
costumes. At the army and navy re
reptiCn the officers will come by the
hun lreds. uniformed within an inch of
their lives.
There are three distinct sets" in
Washington society-the official set.
comprising office holders and their
families; the diplomatic set. compris-
ing diplomats and their families and
the real set" that is the old families.
who consider themselves exclusive and
above the official set The old families
sometimes let down the bars to the
diplomats, but the office holders. the
people lin the service" or lin office,
as they say in Washington, are totally
tabooed. The old families have a So
cial life of their own which they keep
under cover.
There are to be two permanent or
CARNATIONS in Washington society this
winter that promise to take away the
halo that rests above The old set They
are the bachelors association and the
society of navy officers They will
contine themselves to germans cXclu-
sively. each giving a series of half
dozen brilliant ones during the season.
There are to be two prominent new
organizations in Washington official so
ciety this winter. The first in import
ance Mrs. Harmon, wife Of the at
torney general who is an accomp-
lishcd society woman, and Mrs. Wilson,
Wife of the new postmaster general,
who is not so much devoted TO social
life. Each has an accomplished daugh-
ter of the proper age to enter social
life and much is expected, from the
Harmons particularly. Besides, the
second daughter of the vice president is
to enter society this winter
