Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
PARIS, January 20, 1901.
Paris is in the midst of a great temper
ance reform. caused in great measure by
wholesale disclosures which show that all
kinds of poisOns have been called into requi-
sition to make fraudulent drinks. 1t all
came about through governmental action in
reference to intoxicants. There had to be
hurrying in of an immense supply of spirits
before a new tax law could take effect.
There had to be holding back of orders for
wine, beer and cider until old taxes should
fall off Then, with the beginning of the
year there came the new rush to fill empty
cellars with these now untaXed "hygienic
drinks" There is not family in the city
that has not maneuvered TO evade and profit
by the laws, state and municipal, which,
coming into effect on January l, are to re-
form the French physique and morals by
the favoring of wines and beers at the ex-
pense of spirits.
Friends Of the new legislation go so far as
to declare that death blow has been struck
a that formidable wine fraud which, par
ticularly in the last five years, has brought
French wines into disrepute all over Eu-
rope. At one stroke of the pen, not only
Paris, but the great majority of the LOIS
towns of France still raising municipal reve-
nue. by means of octroi duties, have put
wine beer and cider on the free list. With
pure wine so plentiful, it has become
since the complete rep!anting of the vine
yards. the old tricks of the phylloxera
period lived on these Octroi duties. Their

sivants. and the convulsions caused by hys-
sop and fennel are just as "epilepticform
as those provoked by the old absinthe. The
six others are stupefiants. They produce
tendency to somnolence, torpor, loss OF
memory, Intellectual laZiness. loss OF Wi!

the favorite before-meals appetite opener
of three Frenchmen out of four!
The worst of 1t is that the vermoutns'

nocert seek to substitute for dangerous ao-
sinthe are all made up of similar pofsons III

Effect of These Essences.
The action of these essences on man is so
subtle and powerful that it Is sufficient to
breathe them to become poisoned by them.

also seems that itswould not have required
very strong effort on the part OF the OFF,
GERS to have gotten the men to the range
who had qualifying records in the gallery
and Of these 104 men quite a number could
have been added to- the qualified list"
Of this branch of the military service is al
most wholly dependent upon the activity ana
interest OF the commissioned officers, ac-
cording to Capt. Tomlinson. The difficulty

nst, ne goes on ito say. The faciiltes 1or
r1ne work in the gallery are about all that
couid be asked for by any military organi-
cation, and the record of these reports
shows that this Is fairly appreciated by the
soldiers. The question Of range work mas
always been a, drawback and especially
since Its location so far from the city.
While the range, is well equipped and other
wise attractive to rif1emen. at the same
time the Inconvenience and the expense,
and the time required in connection with
each trip there, Is such as to discourage
all except the better class of shots. rms IS
shown through the fact that 153 men fired
ohcfal scores on the range, but did not
enthuse sufficiently to follow this up with
enough voluntary work to bring them INTO
the qualified list.
Capt. Tomlinson's Suggestions.
In tbs connection Capt. Tomlinson offers

How to Grow the Rubber Plant.

From the Ladies' Home Journal.
Keep the rlbber plant clean by giving 1t
a soap bath. Tall plants can be made to
branch by cutting off the tops. But young
plants growing to the height of three or
four feet in one straight stalk will gen.
orally be found more satisfactory, as they
will have larger, finer foliage than Old
branching plants ever have. When growth
is taking place use fertilizer, as It's de-
mands on the soil are great. and ordinary
soils are not rich enough to supply all It's
needs. The secret of the successful culture
of the rubber plant consists In always feed
ing il we'll at the times when a good deal
o. food is needed-and by this it will be un-
derstood that l refer to It's periods of
growth-and never allowing 1t to become
rootbound. Keep the plant always going
ahead, and avoid any treatment that will
check its development If you would have
a vigorous and healthy specimen. The rub

From the Green Bag.
While the late Frederic Carroll Brewster,
an eminent Philadelphia lawyer, was study
ing law in his fathers office he was re-
quested to present petition for signature
to various men connected with the Phla-
delphia bar. A list of the signatures want
ed was given TO him. and he started to full
fill his mission. The first name was that
of the great lawyer, Horace Bnney, and a
feeling of awe came over the young stu
dent as he opened the office door and tod
genial-faced gentleman that he wanted
to see Mr.. Binney.
That IS my name came in cheerful
tones from the gentleman. What can
d for you?"
The pleasant surprise at finding a great
man so affable to a stranger youth having
passed away, young Brewster told the OBJ
ject of his visit.

every member of the bar should sign, but
my dear young sir, before l sign the same

of the act is correctly set forth in the pc
tittOn, and whether or not the title as the
petition states it. is verbatim with the stat

But" exclaimed young Brewster, some

IS his signature appended to 1t! Is not that

responsibilities of inadvertent mistakes, and
therefore depend entirely upon myself"
Then, consulting his Office library. Mr.
Binney verified the citation, appended his
signature, and bade hearty goodbye to his
young acquaintance.
Brewster's next call was upon Mr.. Ser
geant, who received him with great kind
ness, but Notwithstanding the signatures
of the elder Brewster and Horace Binney
he, too, looked up the citation before sign
ing his name. saying that he never trusted
such thing to another.
After narrating this incident, Judge Brew
ster used to say that It taught him always
to be kind to those beginning their study
