Hard Liquors In Germany.

Germany is fast changing from q
land of beer to a land of brandy.
though perhaps the brandy is intended
for export; some unkind critics say
that much Of It goes abroad disguised
as French. cognac, y
However that may be, the produc-
ton Of brandy distilled from wine
has In five years increased from 3d.
600 gallons to $4,000.
The number of distilleries han
grown only from 142 to 1863. But the
methods have improved 30 that 100
quarts of wine now yield nearly TWEEN
ty quarts of brandy instead OF only
seventeen, as was the rule five years
ago.

A VETERAN IN LAW

The addition of former Governor
Stone OF Pennsylvania to the ranks
of Harry X. Thaw's lawyers indicates
that w liam Travers Jerome Is to
have the battle Of his rather erratic
life. A veteran in the profession,
skilled in the innumerable tricks OF
the trade, and versed In the intri-
cacies Of procedure, Governor Stone
is a last ditch fighter par excellence.
The strength OF his tactics lies In his
opponents inability to learn when he
has captured the last Stone line Of
defense; legal finesse hitherto untried
Is his delight.
Opposing counsel can only be cer'
tain that whenever they have calcu-
lated TO their entire sat sfaction JUS
what he will do, they may expect him
to do something different. Fighting
a lawsuit with him Is less ii matter
OF experience than of adventure ana
agility; mental gymnastics are essen
TALLY the order OF the day.
Harry Thaw's case may be hope
less from the beginning, but nothint
is hopeless when w. A Stone is con
cerned. The young millionaire muir
derers road back to Matteawan ma
be unimpeded and clear of obstruc
lions; but obstacles will now begll
to appear with startling rapidity
Should it chance that these do no
happen, It will be because human in
genuity cannot compass It. Herald

UNCLE SANS POLICE COURTS

Now that certain moral irregularities
have passed by law under the juris-
diction of the federal courts, when
may we expect these august tribun.
ais to be given cognizsnce of family
broils, nonsupport, abandonment, II.

Use? o..
No doubt the conviction Of Diggs in
California will meet with general ap-
proval, for he appears to have been
a. scoundrel, but 1t should not be for
gotten that his was h police court
case, state case, a case of domestic
crime, which the courts Of Californ q
are we'll equipped to pass upon, and
a case which, except for the so called
white Save law, could never have got
into h national court.
If persis ed in, the disposition to
carry all grievances TO Washington
can have only one result. The hum
iliation of the states is certain. The
breakdown of the federal administra-
ton is inevitable. If the states can
not meet the issues arts ng between
the people in their ordinary social
relations they fail In the first pur-
pose of their preservation in the fed.
eral system, and we shall have either
a national government m sused or a
national government overloaded and
overwhelmed.
TIE testimony in the Digs case
proves that the offense was not what
vas aimed ut in the law applying to
white slavery. As interpreted by the
Judge, the act is not only calculated
TO crowd the national courts with
causes that belong in the state courts
but, in the hands of vicious persons,
il may easily be made terrible en-
CINE of blackmail and oppression.
If there is such thing as traffic
in girls and women, popularity known
as white slavery, why has 1t not been

subject went into effect in June, 1910

THE SECRET 4

THE great desert lay burning hot
I'm the sunlight The small springs
were almost dry and looked more
like swamps, but crowds of people were
hurrying along the heavy trail until
they caught sight far away of the Holy
City, glistening in the sunlight, with its
domes and minarets The streets of the
city We're crowded with pilgrims who
had come from near aud far, for the
next day was the Day OF the Holy Sa
crament
The city slept little that night Dur
ing the long hours the priests walked
in procession and long before dawn the
rocky path leading To the main gate
of the temple was black with people.
At sunrise the massive copper doors
swung open and the immense crowd
moved slowly through the vast hail,
the roof of which was supported by
hundreds of marble columns, and into
the great coul tyard within
When the sun was entirely above me
horizon, a priest, dressed in black, sp-
peared on the gallery surrounding the
highest tower and extended his hands
toward the East He spoke aloud, bur
only as soft murmur did his voice
reach the praying thousands below.
From the interior of the temple came
melodious murmur of voices. The cere-
mony had begun. The sitting hot C'Ay
passed, hut nobody moved. Evening
came, but nobody noticed the fight OF
the hours.
In a gallery above a priest appeared
dressed IN white robe, gilsteung IN
the moonlight lie spoke to those be
low and a whisper Went through the
crowds: The Lama is entering the
Most Holy"
From the temple was heard the sing
/ ing Of thousands of voices, increasing
in strength and volume until it was like
the roar of the sea Suddenly II stopped
and every one present threw himself
face down ON the ground,
At this moment black cloud APP
preached the nun moon, slowly gliding
across il until the shining disk was full
ly covered, and darkness fell
Then from the temple came the sound
OF wonderfully clear voice utterug
strange melodious words in an unknown
language. The voice stopped and the
air was filled as If with the beats of
mighty wings
soft song was heard from the high
est tower, and another voice fell in
from the interior OF the temple, more
and more voices joined, until the song
sweiled to "A hymn Of triumph and S.r-
tory and the full moon shone as hright
as ever.
one OF the pilgrims went through the
hall of the temple, a priest dressed In
black appeared from behind one Of the
marble columns and, pointing TO boy
walking at the older mans side, said
The gods need him; follow me-
SILENTLY they walked through endless
corridors and magnificent halls listen
ing with silver, then they entered tho
Interior Of the mountain and at last
reached a row OF rooms, hewn into the
rocks In the largest Of these on
raised platform nine priests were sit
