FRANKLY DISLIKES HIS JOB
Man Whose Occupation Is SampIing Wine Declares He Has Always
 Hated the Work.

There may be those to whom the attitude of William Pheysey, official sparkling wine taster for the British government, is incomprehensible, yet Pheysey says that he means every word of 1t when he says that he doesn't like his job, despite the fact that 1t provides him an income of about $7,5OO a year and gives him nothing to do except eye, taste and smell wine-some of 1t the very best in the world-all day long. In order to keep fit for his work Phey- sey can permit himself to smoke only a very little, and he dares not drink anything else for fear or dull ing his tasting ability.
 "A very considerable quantity of poor wine is being shipped into this country at present" Pheysey said, "and new tricks are being invented every day to evade the correct tax; so it is most necessary that I keep my palate fit for tasting, my eyes keen for color and condition and my nose clear for vinegar smell. Perhaps that is why I hate tasting and have hated it all my life"
