Congress appropriated nearly $4,000 600
for coast defenses, and with that sum
the Notifications have been pushed
rapidly and wisely Much less is ap-
propriated now because much less is
needed, and from this time on, unless
there should be some special emergency,
s4,O0O,OO0 will be about the amount set
aside for coast defenses. BY the end OF
the next fiscal year all the great cities
of the country adjacent to open harbors
will be in safe condition by means OF
fortitications, together with submarine
mines, torpedoes, and the navy itself
The original plan of coast defense adopt
ed by the Endicott board provided for q
total expenditure of about S100 900, 900.
Since then we have expended about $40
000,0O0. Progress in gunnery is so rapid
that 1t would be unwise to equip our
fortifications fully with expensive guns
and machinery, only to become out of
date in a short time.
I'VE are now in a shape where we can
repel invasion at the great centers of
population and commerce. We have not
attempted to fortify small ports which
give access only to small blocks of popu-
lation. The general theory of our coast
defenses must be to prevent destruction
of large commercial interests and the
1evying of blackmail by strong naval
powers. The advance of modern rail-
roads with which this country is grid
ironed has made it possible to concen-
trate large armies at any given point
on the coast upon short notice. No for
eign country would attempt to lombard
a harbor except for the purpose Of de-
stroying large city. In landing at one
of these smaller places 1t would for
the purpose of operations by troops
Those operations we would have to meet

dition of the treasury and the great de-

PARIS POLICE METHODS
How Detectives Before the Revolution
Kept Informed Of State Secrets

I once spent an afternoon in a pleAsan mt
little villa on the banks of the river
Marine with the former chief Of police in
the time Of Napoleon III, up to the proc
lamation of the republic. No one would
have thought, to look at the peaceful
figure of the proprietor, little man in
sabots, with gray beard a la Millet. alb
sorbed in cultivating the magnificent
hortensias that covered his terraces,
reaching to the waters edge, that bis
head has been storehouse for all the
Vaccinations and turpitudes Of that
period Of decadence which ended In
disastrous war and revolution. 1t was
on that afternoon that learned how the
fatal Olivier ministry was decided upon
by Mr.. Theirs and his political friends
one evening in the conservatory of a
beautiful French woman, living not tar
from the opera. Two brothers, well
known in the best Paris society, mean
while distracted the attention OF the
guests in the salon by sledght- hand
tricks and gymnastic feats on a Per-

Peddlers in Mexico

while travelling in Mexico a few
years ago, had funny experience with
a Mexican vender which goes to show
what little business ability the lower
classes have" said E. F. Guignon of st.
Louis. Il was en- route to look at some
mines away UP on the mountains. At
the station where we left the train to
take the stage l saw an old woman
selling some honey. She did not have
more than ten pounds of 1t altogether
and as it looked so good 1 wanted to
buy 1t and take it along with us. asked
our interpreter to buy it. Much to my
surprise the old woman would sell him
but two boxes, claiming that If she sold
it all to him she would have nothing to
sell to other people, neither would she
have anything else to do during the
remainder of the day!"-Denver Re-

ing-the drink statistics of the civilized
world, or. to give 1t its official and rather
| long-winded title, THE Production and
| Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages
(wine. beer, splrits).
| A study of the paper leads to one con-
clusion, namely. that not only will peo-
pie drink as long as they can afford to
pay for 1t, but that they will drink.
France produces ten times as much wine
as Germany does: it also exports ten
times as much; and yet more German
wine is imported into the United States
than French wine. The answer is obvi-
Gus: There are in the states many sue
cessful German settlers, and they, hav-
ing the money, will have the hook Of tbs
fatherland, no matter what they pay
for 1t. Thus also in prosperous Belgium
people put scarcely any limit on them
selves in the matter of drink. and wheth-
er it be beer or spirits, Belgium stands
at the head in the matter of consump-
ton per head, while even as regards
wine, although it is not wine-produc-
ing country. the inhabitants consume as
much as do the Germans, whose country
is wine producing.
One point that is brought out very
clearly In these tables is the fact that
the drink trade is almost everywhere
home industry i.e., that by far the great
er proportion of the drink consumed Is
made in the country consuming it. We
in England import so much wine ano
brandy from the continent that we art
perhaps not altogether in position to
realize the fact, and yet even in Eng
land by far the greater proportion of
the drink consumed is homemade. This
Is proved by the relative proportions OF
the customs receipts from imported and
the excise receipts from homemade Ii
quors. The customs receipts amount te
51a millions sterling, and the excise re-
ceipts to 81 millions. or in the proportion
of II per cent to SO per cent in favor of
the home made. Perhaps very few real
lie to how great an extent France is the
great producing and also the great
wine-consuming country Of the world
The statement that the quantity of wine
annually drunk in the United Kingdom,
Germany and the United States, which,
taken together, have a population of
$4,000, 900 of souls, barely exceeds a
tenth part of what Is consumed in France
with its $4,000, 900 Of inhabitants enables
US more fully to recognize the fact
Many. moreover. will be surprised to
find that the consumption per head of
beer In this country exceeds that of
Germany, for while the German drinks
25 gallons per annhm. the Englishman
drinks 80 gallons. In both countries the
consumption of beer is distinctly on the
increase.
The following is an interesting fact
taken at hazard: Seventyseven gal
Ions Of beer are consumed in this coun-
try for every gallon of wine that is
drunk. Could any clearer proof be want
ing that it is the masses who drink, not
the classes? Scarcely the seventh part
of a bottle of champagne per head is
drunk per annurn by the inhabitants of
this country; in the United States.
scarcely the twentieth part.-Pall Mall
Gazette.
