pearls of to-day are old and heirlooms

tons gradually lose their luster and their

Irish whisky.

From the London Dai y Telegraph.
There is an enormous increase In the
consumption of WHISTLES imported from
Scotland and Ireland into England II fhe
present rate of increase of the spirit trade
is maintained, England win presently have
adopted whisky as the national beverage.
As Scotch whisky has come into use here
and Irish whisky, or, 10 be more accurate
Dublin whisky. has lately become a claim
ant for favor in this market, il is inter-
es tlng TO note that in Scotland the pot
distilled whisky goes to the Blenders. who
mix II with the patent or grain whisky TO
produce the spirit which is sod to the con-
sumner. Patent whisky is pure alcohol
without what distn.ers call body or fla
or" and can be made from the cheapest
raw grain Indian corn being largely used
in its production. In Ireland however
they make what is called a self" whisky:
that is. whisky chat can be sold without
blending, and only requires maturing TO
nt n for consumption, and. in fact Irish
whisky vii! not bear much blending with
patent whisky There is a growing
body of opinion in favor of self" whisky
as being more palataile and easy of diges-
ton. The IRISH manufact urers stick per-
sistently to the producing of the latter,
and the great producers such as the Dub
lin whisky disti'lers, only make a whisky
that can be sold without blending What
ever be the reason, the fact is that there
has been a steady growth in the consump-
ton of Irish spirits in England. Ireland

u
Lisbon. Jan. "a semi-official note 20
the press regarding the Anglo-German
agreemen has just been issued. It is as
follows:
The British and German governments,
having previously reached an agreement
between themselves. informed Portugal
that in the event Of her contracting
large loan for the purpose of recognizing
her finances. the two governments were
disposed to guarantee the success Of the
operation. At the same time the govern
ments of Great Britain and Germany as
sured Portugal that the basis of the
egrec ment between them was the recogni-
ton Of the integrity of the Portuguese
colonial dominiOns and the Legitimacy Of
Portuguese sovereignty over the Portu-
suese pos zessions. They further suggest
ed that in the event of Portugal accept
ing a proposal concerning a loan. the lat
ter should be guaranteed by the colonial
and customs receipts The Portuguese
government then declared that it had no
need of such a loan, and according to our
information has no such need to the pres
ent day.
