Whisky is not fit to drink till it has

this in prescribing 1t. 1t is not enough
for them to say that a typhoid or a
scarlet fever patient must have whisky,
they should say old whisky, accepting
the old For new whisky is indiges-

mo one, sick or well, should drink
whisky that is younger than six years.
Between six and ten years is the best
age. Whisky should be taken slightly
diluted with water rather than straight.
Everybody drinks it diluted but the
Germans. They, when they take whis-
ky, will have no water with it. In
testing Whistles l rely on my sense of

er there is anything wrong or not
whether the mash has been made OF
bad or musty grain, whether the fer
mentation has not been perfect, and so
forth. Now and then, to tell just where
the trouble is, it is necessary to take
the whisky into the mouth, to roll II
around and let it touch the palate. 1t
is never necessary to swallow it, for
there are no nerves of taste in the stom-
ach. For the sake of economy l some

Whisky nowadays is bottled and
labeled by machinery. A big machine
fills a long row of bottles at once, and
the labels are put on by electricity, by
means of an apparatus that pretty
nearly has human intelligence. A BUSH
ell of grain at the distillery yields 16

STORM IN ENGLAND.

the Island.

OhC VI OreHt severity swept over
the Island.
London, Feb. PA gale of almost
unprecedented violence swept over
Great Britain all night long and did
considerable damage. Telegraphic
communication northward of Leeds
was entirely interrupted, the continent
tai service was interfered with. and
large numbers of ships were forced to
seek shelter in the harbors. Many
minor wrecks occurred, and the life
boats and rocket apparatus were busy
all along the coasts.
There were several fatalities inland,
caused by falling chimneys and flying
debris, and many houses were UNI
rooted.
The wind in the north of England
blew with hurricane force. The Lam
cashire mills and churches suffered
greatly. The grandstand of the Lam
caster football club was lifted bodily
and deposited outside the grounds.
Great damage is reported from the
coasts resorts. A newly erected church
at Holyhead was lifted from its foun-
dations and fell in a heap of ruins.
