HOG RIPENED WHISKEY.
philadelphia Record.

philadelpha Record
There are but few people who can
be induced 10 believe that there ever
was such drink as ''hog ripened
whiskey," but among the older gener.
alton it would be no trouble at all to
secure an davits that such a beverage
was we'll known IN this immediate
vicinity. There was 10 the days gone
by. in village only four miles from
here, a man who kept a tavern, ard
soon became famous through its pro.
prietor's unique inventions and In.
genious contrivances to attract atten.
tion to his hostelry. Then, as now,
to succeed meant the necessity OF be.
ing well ADVERTISED. In his effort to
do something new "Uncle Billy" as
he was called, conceived AN invention
that was potent in making his tavern
the most talked about for miles
around. The result, a. known to the
patrons of the inn, was some good
whiskey, Of some age, that had been
continuously agitated while within
the oaken casks within which the
drinks we're kept for "ripening."
What the curious ones discovered
was this: When they went to see the
ripening OF the whiskey they found
hoypen with plank floor so balanced
as to swing Ikea barn scale. There
was an open side farthest from the
feeding trough, and the sides were
fenced.
The way the thing operated was
simple enough. The hogs were out in
the yard nosing around when they
heard the splash OF the feed as it was
put In the trough. Naturally, as tue
weight came first on the farthest
side from the trough, that side Of
the floor tilted down under the
swines weight. When they all got
over to the trough that side, in turn,
went down. And so the plank door
was rocked back and forth every tir6e
a hog went in or out.
Connected with this swinging plat.
form was another one, which received
equivalent motion, OF course, through
the medium OF u lever. On this
second platform we're set the casks of
wl,iskey which were to undergo the
ripeninR process. OF course every
time the floor rocked, 90 did the upper
likewise and the wliskey was shaken
around With every motion.
NDnrally, "Uncle Btlly's" hogs
wes ster than anybody clse's, be-
cause tkey were fed % much oftener.
Part ne ripenIns depended on feed.

Quoted National Review &
..When cruising in the Hohenzollern this
summer; off the coast of Norway, the Ger
man emperor saw the stars and stripes
floating from large yacht. He imme-
diately sent message on board announc-
ing that he proposed to honor the Ameri-
can yacht with visit, and subsequently,
went on board himself, where he found a
small family party, presumed to be Ameri-
cans. E.
His hosts were Hattered and delighted
at the honor. for the emperor charms all
men, but they were surprised at the vio-
lence Of his attacks upon England. We
were described! as a sdecadent nation, and
our government, : as rotten, while the
strongest abuse of all was reserved for
King Edward. -
'The astonishment of the Americans
was great, but still greater was the amaze

evidently been overlooked in the general

.GO0D:BY, SHIP SUBSIDY
It will Come Up at This Session,
but Is Doomed to Be
Defeated.
From The Journal Bureau, Room As, Post

From The Journal Bureau, Room As, Post
Building, Washington. i
Washington, Dec. 1.-Sterenuous efforts
proba bly, will be made this winter to pass
a ship subsidy bill through the house. The
bill passed. the senate last session and its
friends think this is probably the best
chance for favorable action that will show
itself for several years.
Representative Cannon, who will be
speaker Of the next congress, is violently
anti-subsidy, and may be depended upon
to make up the merchants marine and
fisheries committee SO as ito discourage a
favorable report on the. subsidy bill in
the fifty-eighth congress. This he, can
do because he will be called upon. to fill
several vacancies on the committee in the
next congress. Representative Grosyenor
will remain as chairman, but every new
man putt on the committee by Uncle
Joen will probably be against subsidy
Legislation 80 - sysE .z&E4sz
The condition in the present house, on
the other hand, is believed TO be favorable
to; the pending bill. To begin with, Speak
Isl some thing; and again, the republican
resentative Babcock, favors If in return
for financial aid given by the subsidy in
terests In the late campaign, while the
Hanna influence, representing the repub-
lican national committee, is also fawora-
ble.f In one or two years from now none
Of these influences may be with the bill.
and so 1t is probable, then, that earnest
effort Will be made to secure action this
winter before adjournment Of the short

he would t1o everything in his power to
prevent a., tea famine In the northwest

ing Mr.. Shaw to take action which will

Almost the entire supply in the north

bonded warehouses in Chicago. s. Since

tion in duty which takes effect Dec. 81.
The merchants of the country have been
running on close margin in order to take
advantage of the 10 cents pound reduc-
tion in price which will allow a reduction
of duty. They failed. however, to make
allowance for the delay which must follow
an attempt to move, so many packages
and a tea famine threatens Mr.. Stewart
and his associates want this tea divided
among twenty or thirty warehouses so
that it can be handled more expeditiously.
Mr.. Shaw can find no law which permits
such removal, but he believes he has au-
Atflority to do so, and promised Mr. Stew

one case where a. speculator paid the rail-
road fare Of a carload. Of tramps across
the country from Chicago to Puget Sound.
These tramps each took up a quarter sec

for it fhe speculator's money! and then
turned the land tover to the speculator,

A bill providing for the repeal Of the

consideration of the isthmian canal ques-
ton is fast drawing to a crisis. Secre-
tary Hay wilf return to Washington to-
day and will at once take up with the
president the question of,thez negotiations
which had been, entirely suspended by the
unwillingness of the Colombian minister,
Senor Concha, to agree to the most lib
eral proposition Secretary Hay has felt
empowered to offer as "a basis for a
treaty.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, Dec. 1..----Senor .Concha has
been relieved as minister for Colombia
by orders from Bogota, and it is believed
that DR.. Thomas Herran, the present
secretary of legation here, will be ac-
credited as minister to succeed senor
Concha in the course of a few days.
Meanwhile DR.. Herrans has been clothed
by. his government with full authority
to prosecute the negotiations looking to q
canal treaty with considerably enlarged
powers. Minister Concha having stood
fast against several strong representa-
tions from his own government favoring
a treaty, the latter decided to place the
further negotiations in the hands of DR..
Herran. 1t is, Of course, assumed from
this change that the chances: of. the treaty
have been bettered. s IS
