A SUBSTITUTE for Alcohol.

The tendency OF people to contract
some sort or another habit is shown
by the common use in various coun-
tries of tobacco, tea, coffee, opium and
the like. In Abyssinia and parts OF
Arabian Turkey the place of alcohol is
taken by the kat plant, which the ma
lives almost universally chew. In parts
OF Abyssinia certain tribes chew the
leaves OF the kat plant commonly when
they are compelled to exert special OF
long-continued effort. the immediate
effect OF which is to produce an agree
able sleeplessness and stimulation. The
freshiy-cut leaves have a rather pleas
ant taste. and produce kind OF intoxi
cation of long duration. with none Of
the disagreeable features OF ordinary
inebriety. Messengers and soldiers arr
enabled, by chewing the leaves. to &c
without food for number Of days.
In parts OF Arabian Turkey there arr
cafes for the consumption OF the ka
plant which correspond to the cages II
Europe and America where coffee ant
alcohol are used.

Washington, May 0.-Reorganiza-

rumored, is regarded as a certainty
since the declaration on the witness
stand yesterday of Secretary Ballinger
that if he continued at the head of the
department of the interior, the
''snakes" would call be killed-every
one of them"
Secretary Ballinger makes no secret
of his determination to have a loyal
force around him. Washington knows
pretty well the difficulties with which
he has had to contend, which are the
difficulties that beset any man in high
position whose subordinates resort to
"office politics" to prevent the results
he is seeking to attain. Hence, re-

the attitude of Ballinger himself.
Any secretary, says that part OF
Washington officialdom that has had
real experience and undertands, would
be justified in enforcing loyal actor
by those lower down and in discharg
ing those subordinates who are insub
or Innate. Consequently Washington
again without reference to how il
may divide upon the personal issue
applauds the secretary's statement
yesterday:

control some of these fellows is to dis

For other official Washingtonianl
have been in the same boat.
Ballinger refused pointedly to speci

Washington to make some prediction
as to heads that will fall.
