NO NEED TO ASK.
Every Toper's Face Tells the Experi-
sncsd Barkeeper What He Drinks.

New Orleans Times Democrat: THE
Jarkeeper who has been in business
long enough can tell what man drinks
BY looking at his face" said man
who has spent his life mixing drinks
for the public. He can do II he Is at
al observant. OF course. there are
many men Who would spend a lifetime
IN the business without taking any note
Of the differences In skin discoloration
resulting from the long and continuous
use Of drinks Of different kinds. Yet II
II . physical condition which may be
observed by any man who will take the
trouble to make the survey.
men often speak of the whisky nose.
the whisky eye. the whisky face, and
all that sort OF thing. but they never
stop To think that whisky Ia not the
only thing that will bloat, mar and dis
color the features. There is M much
difference between the nose Of the Cyr-
ano do BcrGerac and the nose Of fiat
fered Fijlan. The whisky nose Is as
red a. = rose. The brandy nose In Of
purplish hue. II is about the color Of
hlle blaxea. Tho whisky face In difYer-
eut from the brandy face. The con-
tinued excessive use Of either whisky
or brandy will mark the face with little
red lines, but the general appearance OF
the whisky face Ii unlike that OF the
face Of . brandy user. Barkeepers are
able to notice these differences. They
are we'll defined. II would not he no
ticed In the weak wate,y condition and
deterioration Of the eyes. But the
complexion and other marks would be
found on the face which would indicate
whether the man was In the habit OF
drinking the one thing or the other.
''The same thins may be said about
other kinds Of drinks, Take the man,
tor instance. who drinks beer regularly.
The barkcepcrs can tell II by what may
BE- called the mellow cast Of his fea-
lures. Beer gives the face an entirely
different hue from that which results
from the long use Of either brandy or
whisky. I am sometimes inclined 10
think that beer has n sort OF nationaliz-
Ing influence. have seen Engllshmen. !.
Frenchmen and even Italians drink
beer until they looked like they had just
come from the Fatherland. II is an
easy thing 10 tell the beer drinker Just
from the appearance OF his face. may
eny the same thing about the man who
drinks absinthe. The Indications are
probably more pronounced In the case
Of the man who uses absinthe than In
other cases. The things entering into
the combination are stronger and have
more violent effect on the human sys-
tenn.
''Hut at any rate. the barkecpcr can
tell Just what the man In in the habit Of
drinking II no will make n study of
tho faces. A brandy face, the whisky
fscs. the beer face, the absinthe face
are a1l different, and the lines are easily
traced by the man who will take the
trouble to study the effects OF different
drinks for q while.

OIL FOR HIGHWAYS.
Denver VIII Make d Liberal Test Of
Petroleum on Her Dirt Roads.

The board Of public works Will
sprinkle several streets with oil In
stead OF surfacing them with macad'
am or asphalt. v is said that the oil!
lays the dust, keeps down weeds, and
permcating the natural surface OF
roadways. forms n coating within six
months which possesses many or the
attributes OF asphalt This surface
hardens into kind OF cusnion one
and one.half inches thick. sufficient
for streets where there is no heavy
traffic.
President Spcer Of the board OF pub.
lie works said yesterday that the
board had been experimenting with
oil as a road making material since
last February. lie got the Idea from
Los Angeles. where II miles OF streets
have been improved by the use Of
oil. The board hns tanks made for
sprInkling the streets with oil. The
boards early experiments showed
that Colorado oil will not lll the re.
quirements because II has no asphalt

the board. with this will be mixed

The oil will gradually harden between

President Spccr estimates that
roadways OF the city can be improved
In this way for an average cost oi
81 900 mile. To lay n mile ~ as
phalt costs 100000 and with other
materials from 35 TO 70 per cent less
After the original thorough sprink

familiar TO senfaring men everywhere.
There was the old $. NJ. Stetson, the
bark Forest Queen, of which Captain
Burns was master; then came the old
Dashing Wave and the King Philip.
Those three were very fast vessels for
those days and all through the '70s
they were close rivals In speed. The
one holding the record carried n boom
at her masthead like Van Tromp OF
old. In 1873 and late as the early sos
they had the only shipyard OF i'm
portance on Puget sound. Then Dom
caster started In ut Seabeck, and built
M many as three vessels Mt a time.
