THE DRINKING oF cLAREr.

Tt is curious, says The Lancet. that when Bordeaux wines or clarets were never cheaper, more abundant, and purer than they are in the present days the public demand for them should So decidely have diminished The fact is that nowadays claret is not understood by the majority of people, and it must be admitted that unless it is handled properly claret may easily be an un- pleasant and uninteresting beverage. On the other hand, there is no finer wine-no wine of a more wholesome character, or possessing more delicacy of flavor-than a light, sound, relatively non-acid claret when proper care is de- voted to it. Sound claret contains but little free acid, and, in fact, in this re- spect 1t invariably contains the least proportion of acid of all wines. Again. red Bordeaux wines are certainly less acid than white wines, while they con- tain practically no sugar compared with wines. Tn health the individual would undoubtedly be better for drink ing a pleasant light claret rather than a glass of ardent spirits and water. Good, sound claret need not contain more alcohol than does ale or stout, while it is free from the attractive matters of the latter. It is well known that in countries where the staple bev- craze who are content with such a simple but withal generous drink have sober incIinations, show a good bill of health. and are free from the de- nloralizing influences of spirit drinking. Yet in this country the same ad- vantages may be enjoyed, so good, cheap, and abundant is the supply of light claret imported at the present time. The decline in the consumption of light wines in favor of heavy wines or the drinking of ardent spirits would appear to be evidence that a demand for more vigorous and rapidly acting |stimulants has arisen, and the social and moral aspects of such a demand are worth serious reflection.

SENATOR HoAR,s REGRET.

Knowing his countrymen as our For. eign Office can never know them, Sena- tor Hoar felt that our diplomacies were starved and stunted because the Duke of York did not attend the funeral of President MaKinley. The heir to the throne was off their coast at the mo- ment its President died. A quick dis patch boat could have conveyed to him the tidings of the tragedy and death. The Senator portrayed to me the splendor of this lost opportunity; the arrival of the warships and the royal cortege in New York Bay; the bewild- erment of the nation as to who were the visitors, its awakening to such 9 vivid recognition of kinship. Such visit at such moment would have entranced the nation in it's day ofdeepest distress; it would have effaced a hundred cpl sodes of maladroit diplomacy. And had hoped that by some happy inspira- tion the head of our Church then in America might officiate at the funeral of our good friend and Senator; how it would have touched the hearts of New England. It is these incidents which really make history, and make it well and truly, with q nation whose historic sense precedes every material consider tion. In the seconds published in Amer ica of Lord Salisbury's funeral the pres ence of Lord Exeter in the family pew at Hatfield was the text for innumer- able editorials it was agreeable to their historic perspective; and yet two na- tion are far nearer our day and genera tion on the family stem than are the Exeters and the Salisburys on the good Cecil stem.--M Moreton Frewen in National Review.

tile council voted yesterday to submit
an arbitration proposition for the settle
ment of the strike in the cotton mills
to the individual unions, and in case
of their approval, by vote on Tues
day. To ask the Civic Federation 70
choose q board Of arbitration.
The arbitration proposition was agreed
upon BIZ the textile council at three
hour session. The resolution stated that
"a the struggle is detrimental TO the
best interests Of the city and as efforts
to settle the contest failed, it was deemed
wise to submit the matter to a board
Of arbitration selected by the National
Civic Federation and to accept as tinal
its decision.
The labor leaders take the stand that
they are satisfied to submit the settle
mellt Of the strike to arbitration and be-
lliege that it will hurt the course Of the
manufacturers materially if thye refuse
to accept the plan.
President Borden Of the Manufactur
ers' association last night said that h
aid not know how the manufacturer
would consider the proposition. Tn
strike which is now entering upon It

lfaeturers announced a new wage seal
