It is sometimes urged in extenuation
of the coal operators foolishly offensive
tone at the conference, that they were
enraged at the recognition of labor
unions, and the presence by invitation Of
their representative. If that be so, they
must be as blind to the salient facts OF

Wine in France.

The French minister of finance has
just issued an official statement show
ing that the quantity of wine consumed
in France in 1891 was 995,6423S0 gallons
as against 7S9, $751; 1892 gallons in 1900, or
the enormous increase of 166. 100000 gall
lons--over q per cent. This increase
is, no doubt. partly due to the abundant
vintage of 100, with the consequent fall
in prices, but the chief factor has been
in the abolition or reduction of duties
that took place under the law of De-
cember 20, 1900, by which taxes on wine
and beer are equalized. The figures
above quoted indicate an annual con-
sumption of wine for the whole popula-
ton Of France of 147 bottles per head,as
compared with 121 bottles per head on
the previous year-an increase of twen-
ty-six bottles per head. In the United
Kingdom the entire annual consump-
tion of wine is less than three bottles
per head.-London Times

A maid servant belonging to one of
the women's colleges had been out with
her lover without leave from her mis-
tless, and was returning late along the
road, at the top of which lived the Ia
mented Prof. Nettleship. Now, the lat
ter had large yellow dog that took
the usual canine delight in seeing cats
scatter and flee, and. the better to
pounce ON them when they were
stealthily crossing the street, he would
perch himself on the top of the profess
sor's garden wall surrounded and
half-hidden in foliage. AS the truant
maid servant passed beneath him, he
caught sight of a cat in the middle Of
the road. and. making a spring at it.
colided with her and knocked her
down. She picked herself up and ran,
screaming, home, almost mad with ter
ror, because. as she said, the devil had
jumped on her back and thrown her

He was home at last. But, surely, he
had closed the door before he started?
