Here is some interesting information for
the man who drinks only his favorite brand
OF wine, whisky or cordial 1t is almost a
pity TO give away these trade secrets, but
they are public now in sworn testimony.
After reading this the bibber will no longer
smack his lips, look wise and give express
sion to deep, satisfied "A-h-h-h" after O
glass OF his favorite tipple. w. A. Taylor,
wine merchant and expert. to-day swore
that certain foreign firms on labels OF some
wines have no existence in fact. Fine cog
nae, he said, could be made from roasted
almond shells and essential oils. This drink,
he said, would fool the average drinker. In
bottling wine for retailers or private stock,
the sellers put the names Of the buyers and
other marks on the imported" casks or
bottles. In clarets, for instance, some OF
the bottles may be labeled "Medoc" and
some "St. Julian" In illustrating he said:
"a party OF gentlemen may go into cafe,
and one man says, Il guess I'll take st.
Julian, and another says. I don't care for
that; I'll take Medoc.' Well, in most cases
these gentlemen are fooled, and both wines
generally come from the same cask." Con-
tinuing, Mr.. Taylor cited case In point,
where an Italian dealer had sold q case OF
italian vermouth for S2.60 He said the
duty on this was SLIGO, and the freight IA
cents, so the dealer sold the imported
STUFF for just SO cents for dozen bottles.
Bordeaux" tho same dealer sold for S1.65
for case OF twelve bottles, where the duty
and freight alone would have cost S1.92.
Now, one would imagine that all this
stuff sold under bogus labels and fraudu-
lent all the way through goespimpiy to the
lower class OF Bowery saloons and Tender
loin cafes. That Is where the mistake Is
made, as the next question brought out.
The witness in his testimony admitted that
the largest hotels here, of the highest
classA bought wines and cordials from him
IN khk. He bottled and labeled the bottles
"St, Julian" and "Medoc" and "Margau."
1t all, he said, came from the same cask
and fooled even the delicate palates Of the
hotel habitues. That the smaller dealers
are not alone In this imposition on the
stomaohs Of this country was shown from
the Vice-President of the Wine and Spirit
Traders Society that he himself had bot
tied hogshead of st. Julian for bottles
variously labeled "Medoc," "St. Julian"
and "Pontet Canet"

This country has witnessed 30 many
revolutions in methods Of locomotion
that he is bold man who ventures to
declare what may not happen in mat
ters of that sort. The steam locomo-
tive is much younger than many men
now living, and there are many who
predict that it will be a back number
before many more years have passed.
The predictions of the general substi-
tuition of electricity for steam as q
motive poweRAare becoming more
generation will probably see their full
fillment in large measure. And now
comes from no less noted seer than
Thomas A. Edison that the bicycle is
in danger of losing something of its
wonderful and rapidly acquired popu-
larity. Mr. Edison believes that there
will soon be on the market light and
noiseless motor-bicycle which will re-
tail at 800 or less, and says that when
the new machine appears it will make
the bicycle take second place as rapidly
as the bicycle has displaced the horse.
There are now many makes of horse
less carriages, and they are being i'm
proved constantly. They are still so
expensive, however, that their use is
very limited, and they are seldom seen
outside of the great cities.
Such motor-vehicle as Mr.. Edison
expects would certainly cut deep into
the bicycle business, but at present
the bicycle moves ahead conquering
and to conquer. And no matter what
may come the bicycle will remain with
us for the convenience, comfort and
Joy of mankind, even though some
new-fangled thing should capture a
part of its present eonstituency.-At-

Jelly From Coal.

In Perthshire lately, workmen en-,
gagged in cutting some deep drainage
trenches dug into bed of old peat
some feet below the surface. At the
bottom of this was a layer six inches
thick of kind of tough, black jelly.
Some of it was thrown out, and soon
dried in the sun, when it was found to
have hardened into brittle substance
not unlike anthracite coal. 1t burned
with a clear, bright fame, and left an
ash quite like ordinary coal. All coal
has been peat at one time or another,
and here it is supposed we have caught
it in the actual process of transforma-
ton.

Railroads Conquer China.

The Chinese government is slowly
but surely pushing forward the rail-
road from Tentsin to Pekin, and it is
expected that soon the traveller will be
able to go by rail from the seashore to
the gates of the mysterious capital.
This will add about ninety miles to the
124 of the road from Tientsin to the
Kaiping coal mines, which now con-
stitute the railway system of China.
The spell of prejudice has been broken
and several other railway enterprises
are now on foot. The chief of these, o
great trunk line from Pekin south
westerly to Hankow ON the coast, q
distance of some 1400 miles, has al
ready been started, with a small gov
ernment subsidy, but its rapid con-
struction is not to be expected. A
short road from Shanghai to Woosung
is also in progress.

Ropld Motion Anccts CbIIdren.

DIR. John Madison Taylor, in an
article on "Children of Feeble Resist
auce; Their Care and Management" :"
published in the Medical Times and
Hospital Gazette, December 10. 1896,
says that it is very unwise to submit
babies to rapid journeys and the look
ing ont of windows at swiftly passing
objects while flying along. He says
that he has seen migraine develop APP
parently through the custom of giving
small children exercise in carriage
with pair of fast horses every day.
Certain instances of profound distur-
bance have been caused by this means,
and it is reasonable to infer that
continuance of such measures may
produce lasting damage upon so deli
cate an organ as the eye, aud the
whole sensitive organism is thus i'm
periled. 1t is also unwise to encour-
age child to sleep while being driven
about. The motion is both regular
and subject to sudden irregularities.
The persistence of one Kind of mo-
ton up and down is bad, not only pro-
ducing unsound sleep, but keeping up
molecular agitation which has little
to recommend it. If the infant be suf-
ficiently old to sit up or be held up
by the nurse, strain is put upon the
spinal column. Thus continuous mild
conclusions are administered to the
brain and spinal cord; the eye is put
upon a strain, thus acting directly
upon the brain; an element of excite
ment is introduced, and physiological
irritability is the probable result

DR., George Henry Fox, professor OF dis
eases of the skin in the New York College
Of Physicians, says: 'It Is quite certain
that few people drink too much water and
feel sure that many unpleasant feelings
and symptoms of actual disease would

preciated the value Of this best and cheap

Charles l.. Dana, professor of nervous dis
eases in the New York Post Graduate
Medical School, in an article on diet In
nervous diseases, says; water should be
drunk between meals or before meals, and
moderate amount at meals. At least
three pints, or about six tumblerfuls,
should be taken daily. American neurotics
do not drink water enough. They have
half dessicated nerves and dessication in
creases nervous irritability." Those who
believe that they must have alcoholic
condition should lay the above wise words
to heart

DIR. Schulz, who has just returned
to London from Africa, says that "the
public impression that the continent
of Africa is no longer the unexplored
area of the old map is a mistake" Z"
What has been done is to stake out
territories along definite routes, but
within these lines the country is gem
orally as unknown as in the time of
Mungo Park DIR. Schulz has traversed
and surveyed a vast tract of country
which no white traveller has ever seen
before. This new territory lies be-
tween the British dominions in the
west and northwest, and the Congo
and German territories in the south
west and west. Through these un-
known lands flows large river called
by the natives Chobe, which empties
itself into the Zambeze.

Evidences of Improvement.

In Archbishop Ireland's work, just pub
lished, he has an interesting chapter on
"Intemperance and Law" in which he es:
timates that throughout the United States
5000, 900 persons frequent barrooms and in
dulge immoderately In alcoholic drink,
writes Robert 2. Porter. 1t is estimated
that the annual drink bill of the country
falls but little, il at all, under the enor-
nous sum of one billion dollars. These es-
Inmates were based undoubtedly on the flg-
ures OF ten years ago. Tho Archbishop, il
he has not consulted the more recent tlg-
ures, will be glad to learn that there are
evidences Of improvement in this respect,
and that more recent statistics cut the to-
tai down to 1852, 900 600, which, when we
consider the increase of population, is a
good showing. In comparison with the
United Kingdom, the United States has
every reason to feel gratihed, as the per
capita expended for alcoholic drink is
S1715 in the one case, against 5000 in the
other. Part of this difference may be due
to the fact that alcoholic beverages are un-
doubtedly cheaper here than on the other
side, but a considerable part of the de-
crease may be directly traced to the excel
lent temperance work done.-Picayune.

A Word of Alarm.

The Central Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union, of Chicago, has issued a word
of alarm and warning to young girls con-
cerning the drinks obtainable at the soda
fountains of that city. They are called by
different names-sherry flip, claret sanga-
are ordered by young girls for cold, or to
take the place of luncheon, or for a
chance to sit down and rest after busy,
tiresome day at shopping. These drinks ali
contain large quantities o; alcohol, and,
while the girls would Indignantly spurn a
glass of whisky, and hold UP their hands in
horror at the thought of-rhm or brandy,
yet in their soda-fountain beverage they
get all the effects of the liquor and the
growing appetite for 1t thrown in.

Sir James Crichton Browne, the ex-
pert on brain diseases, holds that in
somnia is not attended with such dis
astrous consequences as is commonly
supposed. 1t is not as dangerous as
the solicitude of the sufferer. He sug-
gests that the brains of literary men,
who are the most frequent victims, nc
quire the trick of the heart, which
takes a doze of fraction of second
after each beat and so manages to get
six hours rest in twenty-four. Some
brains, in cases of insomnia, sleep in
sections, different brain centers going
off duty in turn.

seven woIves Bagged by a Youngster.


A son of James Writer had a remark
able experience the other day with
large she wolf. The boy lives in On
tario Township, Illinois, and is but
fourteen years old. He left home on
horseback, taking and axe and dog,
thinking that he might find squirrel
or two in the timber. After he had
gone some distance, the dog charged
toward hollow log and began barking
furiously, but did not dare enter. The
boy, getting otshis horse, kneeled and
peered into the cavity, and saw glar-
ing out upon him the fierce eyes of a
large wolf, around which were six pup
pies. She snapped her teeth vicious
ly. The boy, with rare courage for
one of his age, hastily sharpened some
stakes with his axeand drove them over
the entrance to the log, the dog mean
while keeping the wolf inside. After
having imprisoned the animal the boy
mounted his horse, rode quickly home
and returned with a small revolver. He
then, lying prone on the ground, be-
gan firing into the log, and did not
cease until he had killed the wolf,
which had made desperate efforts to
get out The lad killed the pups with
his axe and loaded his victims upon the
horse. He was paid bounty in Gales
burg on all seven wolyes.-St. Louis
