An Experiment in owalia, West Aus

Within the last few days the new

Senator Pearce, has come forward
with first hand testimony. He had
stayed week end at the state hotel
at Gwalia, and has now told a public
meeting IN this city how be found pre-
yailing conditions. saws a Melbourne
letter TO the London Chronicle.
Senator Pearce found that the man
ager OF the hotel was paid aNod sal
airy and had no interest in ,.dulterat-
Ing drink or trading during prohibited
hours The hotel was strictly for
public convenience. and there was no
more incentive to make men drink
beer than there was for a station mas
ter at a railway station to sell tickets.
The result was that there was no sign
OF drunkenness about the town.

CIGAR BOXES.
Made from Specially Selected Cedar
Wood Grown in Cuba.

Made from Specially Selected Cedar
Wood Grown in Cuba.
There are more than fourteen million
cigar boxes used In the United States
every year. The wood from which the
best boxes are made comes from Cuba,
and Is known as Spanish cedar. After
the war with Spain the supply of this
wood was greatly diminished, and its
price raised, 80 that for a time cigar
dealers were obliged to find substitute
for this kind of cedar.
Various woods were tried, but trouble
was found I'm selling these boxes, be-
cause conneisseurs insisted that a fine
cigar was spoiled by putting 1t in any
but box made Of Spanish cedar. This
wood always retains the flavor Of a
good cigar. Indeed, some persons as
sert that 1t improves the flavor. The
reason given Is that II grows In the
same localities as the best Havana to-
bacco.
Attempts made to use cedar grown In
the United States for cigar boxes have
not been very successful. The Florida
and the South American cedars contain
a peculiar gum that melts when the
wood is exposed to the heat of the store
or house, and thus the labels, and some
times the cigars. in box are spoiled
OF course the smokers OF cheaper
brands Of cigars are less particular
about the quality of the wood used 70
their boxes, and a veneered cedar, mad
from a peculiar sort Of cedar tina
grows in Mexico, Is often substitute
for the Spanish article. But 1t canno
be done without the cigar dealers fnt
ing 1t out, and the consequence Is this
even a good cigar when packed In sue
a box sells at disadvantage.

CONSUMPTION OF LIQUOR.
Norway Is the Least Incorporate of
All the Nations.

Americans are only moderate drink
ers compared with those Of other coun-
tries. The average citizen of the Unit
ed States, counting in the women and
children (Which is not fair, but serves
for the moment as a basis to figure
upon), consumes In the course of year
liquors which contain one and a third
gallons Of pure alcohol. But the French
man, who, though formerly one Of the
soberest, has become the worst drunk
ard In the world, absorbs annually
three and a half gallons of alcohol.
The Belgian and the Swiss come next,
with a consumption of two and four
hfths gallons. Then follow the Span
lard with two and a third gallons, the
Italian with Just a trihe less, the Eng
| lishman and German with two and a
tenth. and the Austro- Hungarian with
about one and three-quarters gallons.
On the other hand. the American eltl-
zen by no means stands at the top of
the list in respect to sobrlety. The
Swede drinks only one and a sixth gal
Ions OF pure alcohol in a year; the Hol-
lander drops considerably below him
with one gallon even; the relatively
virtuous Russian, Notwithstanding his
much advertised addiction to vodka
absorbs only a trlhe more than six
