One million gallons of whisky will bs

year, snd Us age and purity will be offi

If you drink whisky and like the real
food stuff and are willing to pay (or it, do
you think that you will get your fair pro
portionate share? Perhaps! But If so your
share will be small, for the amount aged,
tested and bottled under the supervision
of the government Is tiny by comparison
wltft the quantity placed on the market
directly after manufacture and chemically
aged and colored. Tour fair proportion
would be to get one glass of really old
whisky with a government guarantee to 104
glasses of stuff for which you have the
word of the barkeeper or the printed state
ment of the individual bottler,
It seema: paradoxical,' but It is a fact that
the United States government affords ths
best protection In the world for whisky
drinkers and also the worst It guarantees
the purify and age of whisky which It has
guarded and It specifies that spurious Iml-

Itatlons may be manufactured and placed on
the market. These Imitations may taste
like the real thing, and they may Intoxi
cate even more quickly, and that Is the
sole Qualification demanded by the average
man who stands up nt the bar or who buys
a bottle for home consumption.
So far as the label Is concerned It may be
made to suit the fancy and the pocketbook
of the man who orders it. He may draw
different brands from the same tank, he
may have any age printed to suit his par
ticular trade, and he may give every per
sonal guarantee of purity. The govern
ment will not Interfere with htm in this.
The fact that he Is making a misrepresen
tation does not Incriminate him or get him
Into any possible snarl, particularly as al
most all his competitors are doing precisely
the same thing. He acts solely on his own
account and nothing but his reputation Is at
stake.
Difference In Cost.
There fa naturally a great difference be
tween the cost of the genuine whisky prop
erly matured for beverage and medicinal
use and the cost of the rectified, blended
or compounded substitute, and the natural
result Is that tha Imitation floods the mar
kets and the real cannot be obtained at all
In many hotels and cafes. The proportion
of the Imitation sold. In New York is even
greater than In other sections of the coun
try where the consumers are willing to pay
fair prices, as the average drinker here
appears even more careless than elsewhere
about the quality of the stuff set before
him so long as the taste and immediate
effect are aatlafartory.
Bo far as the after effects are concerned
they are reputed to be wholly in favor of
the genuine article. Real whisky will bring
In its wake visions of blue monkeys with
green spots, but few headaches on the
mcrrow, and after as many doses of It as
any medical man would care to prescribe
the patient should be able to get up and
eat In the morning.
Edward W. Taylor, who took a leading
part in the recent sessions of the Interna
tional Pure Food congress at St. Louis, is
now at the Hotel Imperial. He has taken
a special Interest In the question of pure
whibky, and he gave to a Herald reporter
an Interesting description of the efforts
made by the government to preserve the
purity of whisky bottled in bond.
Sometimes .when you have held a bottle,
of whisky In your hand you may have no
ticed that a green stamp over the cork had
been torn when the bottle was opened. If
curiosity prompted you to examine further
you may have found thkt the stamp had
been Issued by the commissioner of inter
nal revenue and that it bore the date of
Its bottling, the location of the distillery,
the figure giving the proof and the name
of the local Inspector.
These stamps are provided to go over tha
corks of bottles containing whisky bottled
In the custody and under the Immediate
supervision of the United States, while
still behind the locks of the government
bonded warehouses and after' It has ma
tured sufficiently in Its term of storage.
It Is presumably as difficult for a man to
tamper with whisky after It reaches a
bonded warehouse as It would be for him
to help himself to new money In the mint,
A special revenue officer is assigned to
duty and only under bis watchful eye can
any of the precious fluid be placed In glass.
The breaking of a seal would Involve the
greatest trouble.
All Sealed at Might.
When the storekeeper closes the doors for
the night be must cover the facial leeks
with slips of paper of specified sises and
colors and he must see that they are Intact
when he opens In the morning. Tha win
dows are barred snd protected by heavy
shutters.
Long re s of tanks tna!dt have faucets
sealed la position by brass locks which
cannot be apeaed tuitll tba proper time
cornea. The tanks are Sited from barrels
which meat be dtlfrerea to the aaortkauacr
by the United States gauger. From time to
time as the whisky is poured into the tanks
the storekeeper must test It with his hydro
meter and It must fill the requirements of
100 standard proof.
Where whisky has risen in proof strength
in dry storage the storekeeper may reduce
It, back to standard by the use of pure
distilled water, but he Is not permitted to
add other Ingredients. He must then close
and seal the tanks. WTiere a special cistern
is used for receiving the whisky direct from
the barrels, under the provisions of the law,
a sealed flow pipe may connect It with the
tank from which it Is to be eventually
drawn and felt eacks may be used as a
filter to remove any charcoal which may
have followed from the barrel. These Backs
must be enclosed in a copper lined box
which Is locked and sealed.
When the period of maturity arrives the
storekeeper, who has satisfied himself by
watching every step of the procedure thnt
the whisky Is absolutely pure, superintends
Its drawing Into bottles, Stamps are then
furnished to go over the corks describing
the age of the whisky, and, in addition to
the brand, a government label Is affixed
declaring that any person who refills the
bottle Is liable to a heavy fine and to a
term of Imprisonment of not more than two
years.
Special deputies are kept making the
rounds of storehouses and any storekeeper
who Is found outside his building for a mo
ment during operations Is liable to suspen
sion. The deputy goes over the books and
makea his own tests of the whisky to con
firm the work already accomplished. After
all this espionage the government gives lti
guarantee with every sealed package, that
leaves the storehouse.
All Slses Bottled,
All this work is dona under what Is
known as the bottling In bond act, passed
la March, 1897. Distillers who take ad
vantage of the provisions may put up bot
tles of almost any size down to one-tenth
of a pint, enough for a single highball, with
the government stamp on each offered for
sale.
Tha reason why more whisky Is not sold
with the government stamp was graphlo
ully Illustrated by Mr. Taylor, who said:
"Suppose you are engaged in the whisky
business. Suppose you make a crop thia
year. Suppose you put It in the govern
ment bonded warehouse to lcava It for
eight years In order to be able to put It
upon the market as an eight-year-old
whisky In 1812. Say you have taken lrom
the bunk 100,000. You have Invested the
money In grain, fuel, barrels, etc., In sal
aries, In maintenance of machinery, and at
tha close of the 1801 season you have en
tered into bond a crop of the highest type
of whisky known to skilled manufacture.
"Your Investment is now in new whlxky
as It stands, and you have just eight years
to wait. liut howT Your costs have only
begun. As the years go by your volatile
product Is losing month by month in bulk
and at the end of each yeur you find yojr
commodity growing less and less, and at
the end of eight years, when you go to
pay taxes on your whisky, you must not
only compute the Interest on your original
Investment, but you must go back to the
bank and draw enough to pay 11.10 to the
government cn every gallon withdrawn.
"If your whisky baa leaked out or evap
orated beyond a fixed annual allowance
for outage you must pay the tax on what
the government says you ought to have,
even If you haven't It. Tbe state baa tazd
you annually on every barrel and the
county has taxed you right along.
"Tou must pay eight years' Insurance
snd eight ysars wages to tha waieaouae
man. and when you put yeur genuine
whisky oa the market you have a rom
medlly rendered rigid is price by ousts
which you cannot evade.
"New, I want ta go Into business. I look
at tl.e revised, statutes and see a section
which aaysK C ahead and I fats this
wbiak? U yea ssaaA tat say a
j cense Into the United States treasury and
' cut loose.' I say to myself, 'Well, this
Is the easiest way to get rich I ever saw,'
and I get my license. I bny so many gal
lons of neutral spirits from a high wine
or spirit distillery.
"Tricks that Are Vain."
"I buy so much prune juice, bead oil,
aging oil, run in so much water from the
hydrant, and lo! before you a real distiller
have started on the first week of your
manufacture. I have put Into the channels
of trade and Into the process of consump
tion a substitute labeled 'Eight-year-old
whisky,' which I made in eighty minutes,
and by the time you have held your whisky
In storage for the first of your proposed
eight years I have glutted the market with
my sham and turned over my capital again
and again."
At least 85 per cent of the adulterated
whisky Is said to be sold In barrels, though
some of the worst reaches the retailer In
bottles, which do not Indicate either Its
true origin or its real age.

sioner of Internal revenue the quantity of

F?dlnv Wild Animals in Winter.
Of the animals that we can coax about
our houses the gray squirrels become most
friendly. Put nuts In convenient plsces and
they will make frequent trips for supplies,
but only on comparatively mild days will
they remain long outside their comfortable
winter quarters, where they usually have
plenty of food stored.
Red squirrels can be coaxed by means of
food, but they are very questionable fel
lows; in fact, the general opinion is de
cidedly against them, owing to their par
tiality for eggs and young birds. Chip
munks hibernate in their underground
homes, s we cannot count on them for
winter visitors. The cottontail will con
descend to accept dainties In the form of
green vegetables (though one seldom has
such luxuries In the winter), but, as he
comes almost entirely at night, he Is not
a very interesting guest. Country Life.
As tha Father-Inderstood tha Trouble
In the schools of a Connecticut town
measures were recently taken to test the
children's eyesight. As the doctor finished
each school be gave the principal a list
of the pupils whose eyes needed attention,
and requested him to notify the children's
parents to that effect.
One night soon after the opening of the
fall term a little boy came home and gave
his father the following note, duly signed
by the principal:
"Mr. Dear Sir: It becomes my
duty to Inform you that your son shows
decided indications of astigmatism and his
case is one that should be attended to
without delay."
The next day the father sent tha follow

MEMORY OF FACES A TRAIT
Instances Tesdlng to Show thnt
Priests Possess It to a Re
markable Deatree,
"Reading a few days ago some stonta ot
Pope Plus' remarkable memory for faces
I was reminded of a couple of priests who
had marvelous memories," remarked a
member of the Catholic club, quoted by
the New York Sun. "It set me to wonder
ing If the possession of first rate memories
Is not one of the characteristics Of men
of the cloth.
"From my tenth to my fourteenth year
I was an altar boy and acolyte In a Catho
lic cathedral situated in a small city on
the west bank of the Missouri river. About
a quarter of a century ago there drifted
to this city a noted and eloquent mission
priest, a member of one of the great or
ders. He conducted a mission at the ca
thedral, and I jvas In attendance upon him
as acolyte at most of his services for nearly
three weeks at that time.
"Two or three days after I began as
sisting him I noticed that he seemed to be
somewhat annoyed over the noise which
I undoubtedly made by clomping about the
altar in my frost-hardened, copper-toed
boots I was mighty proud of those boots,
by the way, because they were the first
coppcr-toed pair I had ever worn.
"I caught the mission priest examining
these copper-toed boots of mine rather
curiously two or three times, and I felt
that they were getting on his nerves. I
trod as lightly as I could after that, but,
try os I would, I couldn't seem to lessen
the noise made by the boots. ,
"So I asked my mother to get me a pair
of carpet slippers to wear at the altar. I
told her, that the mission driest appeared
to be bpthered by those noisy boots of
mine. She got m a .pair of carpet slip
pers, and I carried them with me to the
sacristy and put them on In place of my
boots the next time I went to serve the
mission priest.
"He quickly noticed the change. He
looked down with an approving smile at
my reet. and nodded his head amlablv.
After the service he petted me on the head
as I was helping him to remove his vest
ments In the sacristy, and told me that I
was a quick lad to have noticed that the
boots were disturbing him.
"That was praise enough for me. I be
came so attached to that mission priest
before he departed for other fields that I
hated to foe him go.
"About two years ago It was announced
at the church which I attend here In New
York that this same priest was to hold a
mission at the church. I was delighted to
hear that, and I determined to go anj
have a little talk with him as soon as I
learned that he had arrived In New York.
"When I got the word that he had ar
rived I went over to the priests' residence
at which he was stopping. I gave my card
to the housekeeper and told her I wanted
to see the mission priest.
"Presently he came down the stairs,
holding my card in one of his hands, and
shading his eyes with the other. He had
not aged a great deal, although his hair
hod turned from iron gray to snow white,
but he was still the same erect, rosy-faced,
handsome man whom I bad served on the
altar as a boy twenty-five years ago.
"He had a puszled look on his face as he
continued to gase st my card on his way
down the stairs. But when' he reached tha
bottom of the stairs he looked up at me
with a amlle, and It wasn't ten seconds
before his smile developed into a smile of
recognition. I hadn't said a word, but was
Just taking his preferred hand, when he
amaxed me by saying:
" 'Ah, here is my little altar lad with the
nospelesa carpet slippers grown Into a man!"
"I thick that waa an unexampled and
almost Incredible feat of memory. I was
nly a small shaver a Quarter of a century
age. you a reaitmhea, ana thara waa navarl
anything characteristic about me. I'm just
one among a billion in looks.
"But this kindly old priest with the clear
mini had me charted before I had a chance
to say a word to him. The fact that I have
never worn any hair on my face is certainly
not enough to account for his marvelous
feat In placing me.
"Just six months after that I was cross
ing the Atlantic, bound for London, on
one of the ten-day steamers. When I
looked over the passenger list on the first
day out I saw that one of my fellow voy
agers was the bishop of the cathedral in
the little western town wham I had fre
quently served on the altar when an
acolyte.
"I waited to get a look at film at the
dlnrer table, and found him not greatly
charged a tall, strapping, fine looking, ur
bane Bavarian, with the same heavy gold
cross attached to his watch chain that I
remembered so well, and with the same
habit of taking snuff how well I recall
the benign r&pa he used to bestow upon
my head with his snuff box In the sacristy!
"I didn't get an opportunity to present
myself to the bishop Immediately after
dinner, as I had intended, and so I decided
to wait until evening before reintroducing
myself to him. After dinner I got into one
of those old-time ship amusements, still i
carried on on the slow liners, quoit pitch
ing, with a number of fellows on the
for'ard deck.
"I made a sad hash of It. I seemed to
have no judgment whatever of distance,
and I was 'way at the bottom of the tally
very soon after the game began.
"After twenty minutes of the exercise I
gave It up In distrust and somewhat sheep
ishly joined the group of people watching
the pitching. I had no sooner done so
than I heard a quiet voice In my ear:
" 'You had a better eye than that, my
son,' the voice said, 'a quarter of a century
or more ago, when you used to bat the ball
around the lot near the cathedral before
vespers.'
"I looked up, and there was the bishop
of my acolyte days smiling In my face."

Minute lerfni t'sed by Watchmaker,
"The fourth Jewel screw of a watch la so
small that to the naked eye It will not look
like anything more than a bit of dust,"
says Ed Key1, watchmaker, "and is prob
ably the smallest screw made. It must
necessarily be perfect In every respect, and
the character of the workmanship required
on It Is Illustrated by looking at It under a
powerful microscope, when It is seen that
the threads average 260 lo the Inch.
"it Is exactly 4-100 of an inch in diameter
and over 50,000 could be packed into a lady's
thimble with ease. Counting these screws
Is never attempted, of course, but l'W are
weighed' on a delicate steelyard and the
total number of an output is arrived at by
comparing the groas weight with the weight
of these. 8uch tiny screws can only be
made in large numbers by machinery, and
the operation attending their manufacture
Is one of the most delicate things In watch
making." St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
