HTERNTURE's DEBT TO RUM.
Professor Mucnstcrbcr2 Makes Fresh tontrihution Co the Controversy.

TO the debate on tho question wheth- CT rum is an inspiration 10 industry or a blight upon tho muscle and intellect comes from Professor Muonstarhcrg. tha Harvard psychologist who has been contCndng that moderate uso ot al- eohol stimulates men to moro and bet ter production This cxpcrimoutcr now tells us Of the cage of a brilliant New York author whose secret trouble is Chat he has never written page of his brilliant book but after incorporate use of whiskey
 Unfortunately for the value Of the Instance, tho author is patient of Dr. Mueustorherg SO that his name is kept secret Thus we do not know whether the psychologists judgment on the brilliancy of the work done by tho said writer ls correct If it s why does he want to hr cured Of the habit? if hyp- notIa suggestion stops our gifted author from putting in quart of whiskey be- fore setting down to thc dollrious de- lights Of composition Professor Muen- stcrbcrg may be doing the world an injustice and the patient, too.
 IT the writer likes his rum and ir his readers like his work, why not let him alone? There was the case of Edgar Allan Poe who was q notorious soak and if De Quincy had not been an opium cater literature would not have been enriched by him. Other cases arc quotable If our contemporary whose secret is so noisilr guarded by Dr Mucnaterbere should the inspiration o' his cups he might fall into the com monplace literary style of q college professor, and from there go on down the scale to the level of magazine writ ers.
 Our investigator in psychology would do much better to find out the brand os whiskey and let the literary world try what virtue lies wthin.-New York Press

 If You Are.

Two of is had gone into tho hdl- rondark region for fall hunt or two weeks, and We had with us as guide and cook an old fellow familiarity known as "Old Josh one day my partner remained in camp to do some cleaning up and old Josh md | set ont to bring in a deer. He hondod pretty sure to find one, and, after a walk of tbrae miles through the woods, he intimatcd to me to he ready on sn instant's notice. l obeyed the hint, and, after creeping and crawl ing and twisting about for another quarter of an hour the old man sud denly pointed to the left and whis- pered;
 There he is, and he's a fine one too. Keep cool and take good aim"
 But that doesn't look to mo like a deer" protested as I brought my gun around.
 "Of course It's deer, What clsc can it be?''
 To his disgust I began to look and peer, and it was not long before had occasion to whisper:
 Say [ believe that's another hunt CT on the watch"
 But shoot away--shoot away"
 But l want to be sure first. The longer I look at 1t the more certain ! am that it is no deer"
 Man alive, are you going to shoot?' almost shouted the old man as he danced around in way to scare a half mile away.
 No" l answered, as the object sud denly moved out into the open, and saw it was man.
 He moved down to where we stood, and after talking for while we separated Then | said to Old Josh:
 Suppose l had fired, as you told mo to, and killed the man."
 You came up here after game, didn't you?" he sullily asked
 "Of course, but"
 But if you arc so almighty partc- ular about what you shoot at you will go home without having killed even a chlpmunk!"

 The law is complicated. It appears 10 be searching and effective on the whole, but 1t involves questions which must be determined by the supreme court before its scope can be positively known, and lt may require changes for the sake of clearness, r for no other reason In all this we fail to soc any reason why those who think if uncon- stitutional in any respect should de- mand that an opinion on It's eonstitu- tloually be obtained before the work of Che election court goes on, Such things have been done, but the usual course Is to proceed under thc law, let inc counsel who hold this view make lheii. contention aud then have the ap- peal rest on a concrete ease. Even ir thc original court should decide against ihe defendant that Judgment would have no standing in fact until the quos- tlon of constitutional authority had been adiudicatcd,
