Barometric conditions do not seem to be as
significant as thermometric and no general rule
is 10 be deduced from them. With the barometer
at 295O TO 1890 and at 2990 to 80 inches
drunkenness is at the average. Between those
pressures it is below the average Below 2soo
IL is slightly above the average and above 30 it

when there is rise of the barometer! AS Tor
old General Humidity, his influence upon bibu-
lousness varies; but on the whole it may be said
that the more he prevails the more men take to
drink probably upon the principle of like within
curing like without! Finally, the thermometer
shows an almost perfect correspondence with
the "i1toxicometer." Atmospheric tranquility
conduces to sobriety, while the harder the wind
blows the more men take TO drink.
And the moral of it all? Well, may say
that men drink more fiery spirits in cold
weather and more cold beer and sherry cobblers
in hot weather; wherefore there is more drunk
enness in winter than in summer. AS to the
contrary rule of quarrelsomeness. it has long
been automatic that beer drunk is the most
trucuent of all; and doubtless bad temper is
largely a result of high temperature, entirely
apart from bibulosty. Excess of humidity in
the air causes intense discomfort in summer,
and men drink to drown their sorrow" while
in the damp weather of winter they drink to
keep out the damp and to prevent catching cold
AS to the wind, its effect is evident. In winter
it makes the cold more perceptible, and in sum-
mer it induces evaporation from the surface of
the body; and both these circumstances prompt
men to drink. Into the electrical and other
conditions we may not at present carry the dis
cussion. DR.. Dexter's researches do not more
than hint at them. But may formulate
pretty general and practical rule, to the effect
that the drinking habits of men may be much
modified by their housing, clothing and food.
ton of coal or a warm overcoat may often save
a man from becoming drunkard.

PORTRAIT OF CHIEF JUSTICE MARSHALL

FORGOTTEN FOR NEARLY QUARTER OF A
CENTURY.
Chicago Dec. 30.-After being forgotten for nearly
a quarter of a century. authentic portrait of
Chief Justice John Marshall, of the United States
Supreme Court, has recently been found. For
twenty-five years the portrait has hung in the
house of II. N. Underwood, at Waukegan. ILL.,.
and not until Adolph Moses. attorney, began the
agitation for observance by the legal profession
of February John Marshall Day. the To-
cation Of the portrait made known.
The discovery of the portrait is rendered the
valuable because of the fact that few really
authentic portraits OF the great iurist are extant
1t shows the Chief Justice IN different light from
the expression in the recosnzed portrait, engraved
COPIES of which to be found in nearly every law
office throughout the country. Instead it brings
out the rugged strength of the features. Another
difference is the presence of the spectacIes pushed
high up on the forehead.
The newly discovered picture was done in oils
by B. L Hammond, one Of the leading artists
early in the century II is partly reproduction OF

There's a plan foot to open a new race
course in ST. Louis. 1t will be a mistake to in
crease the already excessive clump of tracks in
the West. limited number of high class turf
organizations with carefully governed meetings

Many of the tracks now in existence in the West
and South should oe closed. because they are
carried chiefly to promote gambling and to
sustain poolrooms. No good reason for adding
to the list of such places can be suggested.

A white man who goes under sev- eral different names, was locked up by the police Wednesday night, on complaint of negro man who says the fellow and his co workers took S % away from him at the Fair grounds Wednesday. The white man was working an electric belt scheme at the Park, and each buyer of a belt, the cost of which is $l .00, would be given a draw for $5.00 bill. The plaintiff states that he bought belt, and was given a draw. He drew the $5 % bill and adds that the men surrounded him and made him give it up.
 It appears that the drawing of the $5 % by the negro was through a mistake on the part of the ia kers' and they afterwards made him return it. The workers @were worked at tbeit ws game.
