troubling itself considerably over TIE ques-
ton of the countervailing duties on Dutch
sugars, ON which everybody seems to be

solution as e~er. Shortly after noon 1t
was announced that the Treasury had or.
dered the eountervailing duties to be placed
on sugars coming from Denmark. Mo-
mentari!y this was mistaken for ruling

An Ancient Custom.

Shakespeare, upon parting Brutus and
Cassius prior to their tragic end ON the
plains of Philippi did not seat them
around u convivial board, where each
might bespeak the others health and
long life in bumper of wine. Perhaps
the immortal author, in his fidelity to
the gravity of those stirring times,
could not reconcile the solemnity of
that parting with the cup that cheers
There is no doubt, however, that
wine or its equivalent was as easily OBJ
tainable in those days as it is today.
There are many evidences in the ex-
plorations of the buried cities of Pom
peii and Herculaneum that alcoholic
beverages played leading part in the
luxury and debauchery of those ancient
times. When Vesuvius' merciless show
er of ashes and lava descended upon the
people, it found many Of them in vari-
Gus stages of intoxicated abandonment,
and in the progress of recent excavations
have been found numberless bottles fill
ed with ashes, setting just as the revel-
ers had left them when forced to fee
on that awful night more than 1900
years ago.
So far as their history reveals, the use
of stimulants or narcotics has been com
mon to all nations of the world Alec
hol in one form or another has been
used by almost all, but in its absence
the Mohammedans and aborigines adopt
ed opium. tobacco and hemp. -Cincin-
natl Enquirer,
