Frauds In Drinks.

Here is some interesting information fol
the man who drinks only his favorte brand
of wine, whisky or cordial. 1t is almost a
pity co 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 a deep, satisfied HA-h-h-h'' after a
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 OF
bottles. In clarets, for instance, some OF
the bottles may be labeled sMedoc" and
some est. Julian" In illustrating he said:
"a party of gentlemen may go into cafe,
and one man says, I guess I'll take st.
Julian, and another says. 4 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 a case in point,
where an Italian dealer had sold a case Of
duty on this was SLIGO, and the freight IA
cents, SO the dealer sold the imported
stuff for just S6 cents for a dozen bottles.
Bordeaux" the same dealer sold for 81. .65
for case OF twelve bottles, where the duty
and freight alone would have cost S1.S2.
Now, one would imagine that all this
stuff sold under bogus labels and fraudu-
lent all the way through goes simply 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
class bought wines and cordials from him
in b,tl He hott1od and lahnlpd the hOttlaG
est Julian and ssMedoc" and 'sMargau."
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
stomachs of this country was shown from
the Vice-President of the Wine and Spirit
Traders Society that he himself had bot
tied a hogshead of st. Julian for bottles
variously labeled 'Medoc,' est. julian"
and "Pontet Canet.n

The Most Precious Sacrifice.

We read in old familiar story that, one
day in the Roman forum, the earth opened.
and a great gulf yawned in the very midst.
The augurs said that this gulf would never
close its horrid mouth until it had been fed
with the most precious thing in Rome
There was doubt as to what the most pre-
cious thing might be, when a young soldier,
armed and mounted, rode boldly forward
and plunged into the chasm, declaring that
there could be nothing so precious as life
given for ones country.-Preachers' Maga-
zine.

Evidences of Improvement.

In Archbishop Ireland's work, just pub
iished he has an interesting chapter on
@sIntemperance and Law" in which he es-
Inmates that throughout the United States
5000, 900 persons frequent barrooms and in
dulge immoderately in alcoholic drink,
writes Robert P. Porter. It is estimated
that the annual drink bill of the country
falls but little, if at all, under the enor-
NOUS sum of one billion dollars. These es-
inmates were based undoubtedly on the fig
ures of ten years ago. The Archbishop, if
he has not consulted the more recent fig
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 1861, ,Ooo, 600, which, when we
econsider the increase of population, is
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
$17.15 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 considerable part of the de-
crease may be directly traced to the excel
aent temperance work done.-Picayune.

A Word of Alarm.

The Central Woman's Christian Temper
;ance Union, of Chicago, has issued 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-
rec. creme de menthe, calisaya, etc.-and
are ordered by young girls for a cold, or to
take the place Of a luncheon, or for
,chance to sit down and rest after busy,
tiresome day at shopping. These drinks all
contain large quantities of alcohol and,
while the girls would Indignantly spurn q
horror at the thought Of rum or brandy,
vet in their soda fountain beverage they
get all the effects Of the liquor and the
growing appetite for it thrown In.

Equality Under country's Flag.

The shifting scenes of a forming civiliza-

shall be linked in production and manufac-

A Voice which Shall Live.

When the last prayer shall be said over
the last dead comrade and the last requiem
shall be sung over his grave, he will still
speak to the living both of the past and the
future. His voice will be heard in the 10y
atty of his children and in their devotion to
the old flag. 1t will be heard in the better
and ever-improving free education to the
masses, and in the more exalted national
virtue which springs from the performance
of noble deeds and in the living of good
lives. Today the nation weeps over it's
dead, and strews flowers upon their graves.
But the air is full of song and the household
is full of rejoicing in remembrance of the
blessings which, through their lives, all
honorable peace has brought to our doors.
Long may the flag that they so nobly de-
Tended wave over this favored country
Long may the nations children gather un-
der its folds and fling its colors into the un-
tainted atmosphere of American loyalty!
Long may the people shout and rejoice as
its every star becomes a star of promise, and
it's bright stripes, radiant with beauty, shall
symbolic the sunrise of universal peace.-
Rev. John W. Sayers.
Made Strong by Faith.
So search we, Lord, not for some rare
Far visions of thy face;
In present loves and joys and tolls
Let US thy presence trace;
In brave contentious for the right,
Forgiveness of wrong,
The fears that hope. the tears that smile,
Weak lives by faith made strong.

Virtues of Water.

DR.. George Henry Fox, professor of dis
eases of the skin in the New York College
of Physicians, says: 'sIt is quite certain
I feel sure that many unpleasant feelings
and symptoms of actual disease would
quickly disappear if the sufferers ap-
preciated the value of this best and cheap
est of all remedies (pure water)." Dr..
eases in the New York Post Graduate
Medical School, in On article on diet in
nervous diseases, says: "Water should be
drunk between meals or before meals, and
a moderate amount at meals. At least
three pints, or about. six tumblerfuis,
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
stimulants to keep them in good bodily
condition should lay the above wise words
10 heart.

"Pacilic Shores, or Adventures in
Elstern Seas" by Oliver Optic, bouud
In gold and colOrs.
"Pacifc Shores" is the twelfth and
last volume of the All-over-thc- World
Library. As indicated in the pre-
ceding volumes the purpose Of the
voyage described IS the cduclt'un OF
the hero, Loris Belgrave, who has
come into possession Of his grand
fathers property. The present vol
ume covers an EXTENDED stay in Japan,
where all the principal points of in
tercsts are visited. From the land OF
the Mikado the party proceeds to
Australia and New Zealand and
thence to America, stopping fer a
weeks stay at the Fiji Islands. The
young travellers have their full share
of exciting adventure, while the
author never loses sight of his pur-
pose in writing the series; that Is, the
conveyance of useful information,
much of it obtained during the au-
thor's recent trip around the world.

"Guarding the Brder, or the Boys
of the Great Lakes" by Everett L.
TomlinSon.
The author has essayed to furnish
the young American mind with an
accurate historical account Of the
causes leading up to and the events
transpiring during the war of 1872,
and he gives a type of Juvenile litera-
ture that is Of incalculable benefit to
the youth of the land.
The scene of action has changed
from the South, where the story of
''Tecumseh's Young Braves" was
laid, to the Great Lakes, and includes
many stirring adventures both on
land ard water. General Scott, the
hero Of Lundy's Lane, for the first
time appears upon the scene with the
army; the trials and delays in building
a navy and it's latter movements upon
the lakes are described, and in the re-
connoitering and cutting-out eXpedi-
tions connected with the latter our
boys have their full share. Upon the
whole the youthful readers Of this
and the preceding books will have not
only an interesting work to peruse,
but correct historical account of
many historical incidents. Lee and

New York Life" is high.class
weekly illustrated humorous paper
sold by newsdealers to the people who
have learned to call for it. "Life''
is by all odds the cleyereSt, cleanest
and most kindly caustic of American
efforts at humor and satire. Once
tasted, the coarse attempts at jest
ing in "Puck" and "Judge" and
other loud, high-colored prints are
cast aside. A critical journal speaks
thus Of the series OF excellent full
page cartoons that have appeared in
Life for the past two months:
"Cleveres caricatures we have never
seen; nor any that, while preserving
the likeness, bring out more happily
the subjects character by the slight
and sober touch OF exaggeration
which should be, but very rarely is,
with our American draughtsmen,
the essence of pictorial parody. The
sketches are all of we'll known men
Lord Salisbury, Hall Caine, Dick
Croker, Tom Platt, the proprietors
of the New York World and Herald.
Van Wyck, and so on-and in each
case the incisive result seems to be a
summary Of the mans whole life
and nature. There is complete
history of Tammany to be seen in
Croker's face, naked bosslsm In Platt's,
forty years Of English public life in
Sallsbury's, the poseur and Snowman
in Hall Gaines, and the World 10
Joseph Pulitzers's. The anonymous
author OF these cartoons has more
than good draughtsmanship to recon-
mend him; more, too, than the easy
humor of the salon which Life has
made finally its own. He has the
very instinct of caricature, the SAN
Ity and sense Of the permissible.
and the quiet ability to suggest with.
out the blatancy of presentation.
Ones curiosity to know his name is
inevitable, but it can be restrained
