- Fashions change in drinks as in everything else and nowhere are these changes more evident than in New York. as is natural in view of the fact that the city's drink bill amounts to nearly a million dollars d day. few years ago the various mixed drinks in which gin figures had d great run and there was famine in lines. caus- ed by the consumption of gin rickeys. This fashion was succeeded by great demand for Scotch whisky. coincident with the spread of the highball habit
 Now the barkeepers in the big hotels and other places of liquid refreshment along the Great White Way report that the highball is passing into d decline and attribute it to the adulter- atiOn of Scotch whisky which robbed 1t of it's attraction for the man who drinks for taste rather than for intoX- ication. Rum highballs now have the call according to these same authori- ties who have the best opportunities for observing the changes of fashion in drinks. In fact rum. the drink of our grandfathers and more remote an eestors, seems to be renewing it's pop ularity for all sorts of mixed drinks
 The reason given is that this is about the only form of spirits that has not been attacked on the ground of i'm purity and adulteratiOn. Men who have been frightened away from whis- key by the exposures of pr. Wiley and other pure food agitators. have taken to rum in the belief that it is chemi- cally pure and have found it highly agreeable to their taste. Whether this

More publications are printed in the world, or in many states and for eign countries. The total at present falls just short of 1000. indicating tho tremendous increase in the cOnsump- tion or reading matter throughout the country. Some surprising and inter esting statistics regarding newspapers throughout the United States have been gathered by Appleton's magazine and are presented in an article to ap- pear in the March nnmber. According to this article, which is written by General Charles H. Tayl&r, one of the most widely known men in the news paper business, the total circulation of the newspapers of the country in 1907 was upwards of ten billion copies. The total income from advertising and cir culatiOn is estimated al S200, ,000. 900 a year which makes newspaper publish ing one of the greatest businesses of the country. Appleton's is devoting much attention to newspapers and the important part they play in American life having published an article this month telling of the service of the press in stopping the spread of the panic last fall. The forthcoming ar ticIe asserts that there never was a time when the newspaper reader got so much for his money as today and the claim is borne out by the statistics that are given.

Governor Hughes has taken action resulting in the ap- pointment of a special prosecutor for the ice trust case and there is a grow ing feeling among certain trust agents that New York is not the healthiest place imaginable for them just now. The plans Of the beef trust for secur- ing !ts dominance Of New York mar kets received what is generally re- garded as 9 body blow in a decision handed down few days ago against a man alleged to be one of it's secret agents maintained for the purpose of eliminating competing interests by ab- sorption. The decision in question rendered by Justice Greenbaum of the supreme court denied the petition of Frederick Joseph, now president of the New York Butchers Dressed Beef company, an association of the city's independent dealers, and formerly an officer of Schwarzchild x SulZberger, an independent concern, for a writ al
 lowing him to examine the books of the latter company. Justice Green baum did not hesitate to indicate his belief that the writ was not sought in good faith but as part of devious trust methods for getting rid of com
