PARIS, January 31.-Although the
most imminent peril of the fast few
days Of horror is thought to be past,
the conditions prevailing throughout
the submerged districts continue. The
waters are steadily falling and the tur-
bulence of the flood has quoted down
Many hundreds of starving people have
been rescued from the housetops The
submerged districts have been turn
ed over to the military authorities.
Hundreds of buildings, undermined by
the waters, have collapsed and the
debris is choking the streets. Thou
sans are believed to have lost their
lives through drowning or being kill
ed in the falling buildings.
The relief fund has now reached a
quarter of a million dollars and more
money is pouring in. 1t will be i'm
possible to reach any conclusive es-
innate of the damage until the wa
ters have Teceded and the effect OF
the flood on the streets and buildings
more definitely learned.
PARIS, January 30.-SiXty relief
stations have been established in the
city and the work of relieving the sur
ferings of those who were rendered
homeless by the flood is now well I'M
| der way Already thousands of per-
sons have applied to the relief sta
lions for aid. Food is being given
to the destitute and a supply of cloth
ing is being issued to those who lost
all in the disastrous flood.

The New Tariff
Helped Decide
The Sake Case

has acted accordingly until the present
time; no protest against the practice
was entered until March, 1902. Three
years after the ruling in the Woozens
case, Congress passed the tariff act
of 1897, which in no way modified the
provisions upon which the appraisers
had previously based their decision.
This in effect confirmed their action.
In March, 1902, Hackfeld G. Co., Ho-
nolulu, protested against the classiti-
cation of sake" by similitude to still
wine, but the prior ruling was sus-
tanned by the appraisers and the i'm
porter acquiesced in the decision. In
the tariff act of 1909 sake is specially
enumerated with still wine, (para-
graph 300:
Still wines, including ginger wine
or ginger cordial, vermouth, and rice
wine or sake, and similar beverages
not specially provided for in this sec
ton, if containing more than
fourteen per centum of absolute al
cohol, sixty cents per gallon" Sc Stat
II, 49,
In April, 1903, Nishimiya imported
some sake at New York, and protest
ed against the classification by simili-
tude to still wine. The board of ap-
praisers sustained the collector, but
on appeal to the Circuit Court for the
Southern District of New York the
circuit judge thought that sake was
not sufficiently like either wine or
beer to be classified by similitude, and
held it to be a non-enumerated manu-
featured article. This conclusion was
sustained by the Circuit Court of APP
peals for the Second Circuit United
States V. Nishimiya, supra.
Thus it appears that prior to 1894
sake was classified by similitude to
distilled liquor, and then on a pro-
test by an importer it was classified by
similitude to still wine and that ruI-
ing has been followed from that time
to the present, receiving in the mean
time at least a qualified approval by
Congress. 1t was accepted without
challenge until 1902 Then, pro
test against it having been overruled
it remained unchallenged for another
year. After this, and in the latest
tariff act, Congress has in terms put
sake in the category with still wine.
Under these circumstances we think
the intent of Congress in respect to
the classification of sake is clearly
manifested, and the judgement of the
Court of Appeals is affirmed.

~ HE selection Of the breed Of
81 poultry is always nomen-
& tous problem to the beginner.
There are some poultry breed
ers and far too many farmers who
make this problem of breed selection a
continual one and are always chang
ing or sending away for sitting Of
eggs Of some newly advertised breed
of poultry or swapping roosters with
the neighbors. Such f1ckleness, of
course, prevents all progress.
For those who are breeding standard
bred poultry and whose main object in
keeping fowls is to win the prizes at
the shows and thereby sell stock to
farmers and other breeders the selec-
ton of breed is most important ques-
ton. Could one always select the
breed which is to be popular five or
ten years hence making money in poul-
try breeding would be an easy prob
lem. Indeed, we could all get rich if
we knew the future, but as it is the
