Good judges Of Whisky.

when you hear a man say that he
is a good Judge of whisky" said an
importer, take the statement with a
large allowance of salt. This is espe-
cially true of a man who is in the
habit of drinking whisky. Most drink
ers who smack their lips and shake
their heads knowingly cannot tell
good whisky from bad. A man whose
business 1t is to sample whisky and
who is tasting 1t all the time will not
swallow half pint in a month. He
merely tastes It. Drinking the liquor
blunts the senses and destroys the
taste. A good judge OF whisky must
have a natural aptitude for the bust
ness, as in any other trade, and must
guard his appetite. He must be care
full what he eats, avoiding onions,
cheese or any highly seasoned foods.
Some professional whisky tasters mix
their whisky with water and then
heat it before they taste It. But that
is not necessary with a man of ex-
perience who takes care of his appe-
tite."

The first member of the new family
who dies is buried about twenty feet

etc, The people of Reedy Patch are
looking up. The school at this place
recently gave a delightful entertain

in a very acceptable manner, The
music was a special feature of the oc-
casion. Prof. Powell, J. NJ. LYDIA, Esq.
and Rev. John L. Case of Knoxville,
Tenn delivered excellent addresses. a
large and we'll behaved audience greet
ed the speakers. A beautiful Christ
mas r was erected and we'll filed

Special remembrance of the orphan
children was noticeable. None of them
went away with sad hearts. Whiskey,
the great enemy of mankind, seemed tc
be entirely absent on this occasion.
