Brignoli, the famous tenor, was very
susceptible to fattery, and it is said
that once in New York, when the or
chestra vigorously applauded one of his
favorite songs, he was so touched that
he came down to the footlights and in
vited them all to champagne supper
at the Everett House. The supper cost
him $500.
Brignoli was very careful of his voice
and was terribly afraid of drafts.
It was once stated that during the
winter it always took him three-quar-
tiers of an hour to get from his room to
the street.

Profit in whisky.

The whisky sold over the bars in New
York is so bad that men should volun-
tarily take the cold water oath. But
the water is bad, also the softer drinks.
So what is q tipper to do? The profit
in redeye and tanglefoot is enough to
make sots quit sotting. The Fifth Az
enue hotel has jined hands with the
Whisy trust, charging 40 cents for two
drinks of a finger each. If the stuff
was fifteen years old and straight some
apology might be made, but 20 cents a
drink for compounded or blended wine
of the country is extOrtion. Prime
straight rye or bourbon whisky can be
bought today at 1925 or So a gallon.
Waving the customary adulteratiOn Of
10 or Is per cent. by water to proof
of 90 per cent. or less for bar purposes,
calculate the profit at eighty drinks to
the gallon, 20 cents q drink. You have
433 1-3 per cent. on So whisky. It is all
right, l guess. | wish the price was

was returning home.
There was but one other passenger
In the car, a jovial looking man, who
sat in one corner with his hat pulled
down to shade his eyes. The minister
felt that the other man was watching
him, but every time he turned his eyes
in that direction the passenger was
looking out of the window and smiling.
Finally their chances met, and the pleas
ant looking passenger kept his eyes fixed
on the minister's face scrutinizing
him carefully. The minister coughed
and looked embarrassed, and then the
other man, looking a little sheepish,
came over and, sitting down beside
him, extended a hand, at the same
time saying:
stranger, I've been thinking that
we look SO much alike we'd ought to
get acquainted The minister smiled
and shook the hand, and they soon were
chatting like old friends. AS the
stranger rose to leave the car he passed
out card, saying:
"Come around when you're down
my way.

glanced at the card and read after the

OPINION ON THE BEEF RATION.
What the Court Thinks of the Canned and
the Refrigerated.

What the Court Thinks of the Canned and
the Refrigerated.
Generally any unsatisfactory condi-
ton of the refrigerated beef when it
reached the troops is ascribed to unnec-
essary delay in using it. The report
says: "The court is of the opinion that
the canned roast beef was not suitable
as a travel ration on transports, consid-
ering the absence of cooking facilities
and the absence from that ration of
fresh vegetables and condiments. For
use on shore as field ration, where the
companies had their camp cooking
equipment, and vegetables were avail
able, canned roast beef is suitable for
issue-say two days in ten, but not for
two days in succession. For any use
exceeding one day in five the court
finds this beef unsuitable. The refrig-
Grated beef is, in the opinion of the court,
a suitable ration for loops when it can
be issued to them in good condition"
The opinion is expressed that it would
have been impracticable to land beef
cattle on the hoof in Cuba.
An instruction of the president to the
court was: IF the packers of the coun-
try are guilty it must be known" Re-
plying to this direction the court says:
1.-THE court finds that at the outbreak Of
hostilities in April, 1898, the packers Of
canned beef were engaged in the manu-
facture of an article of standard quail
ity we'll known to the trade and the
subsistence department under the name
of canned roast beef. The methods of
packing then in use were the same as
those habitually employed in the prep
aration of the meat as an article Of
commerce. and the court does not find
that they underwent any change during
the progress of the war"
Replying specifically to other ques-
lions set out by the president the court
SAYS: The canned beef was described
as fresh" because it was not salted but
the meat was not old or stale. The re-
frigerated beef furnished the amy was
mot doctored or treated with any other
agency than cold air. The meat pur-
chased for the army was the meat of
commerce. that both kinds-refriger-
ated and canned-Were such as are we'll
known in both hemispheres as CONNER
ciaI articles, of which there is and has
been very large consumption not only
by the trade generally, but by the Unit
ed States navy and by the armies and
nayies of Europe"
