Few Drinkers Can Tell Good Liqu r From Bad. "Men 'who drink may not know it," said an old. barkeeper, "but the man be hind the bar knows as much about the kind of whisky the customer likes .is the customor himself knows. The fact of the business is that it Is "the easiest thing In the world to impose on the average man. The only thing the bar keeper has to learn is the character of the whisky a man drinks, whether it is strong or mild. You take the aver age man who visits saloons, and who claims to be a good judge of whisky, and, when you come to look Into it, you will find that he goes altogether by the smoothness of taste or the strength of the article you give him. Hud whisky is sometimes strong and sometimes mild, and the result Is that the man who depends upon the effect whisky has on the mouth und tile palate will be fooled In nine cases out of ten. "Unless a man Is really an expert In the business and there are few ex perts, In spite of the claims of men who are counted among the regular whisky drinkers It is really a very hard thing for him to tell one kind, of whisky from another. Of course there are men who can tell one kind of v. hlsky from another. There are men who are really good Judges of whisky they cannot bofooled. But with the average man it is an easy thing for the barkeeper to practice the art of de ception, If he Is inclined to do so. The customer will not know the difference. U Is really a very simple matter. All the barkeeper has to do is to learn tho kind of whisky the man likes wheth er he wants a strong whisky or a mild whisky. This Is all the barkeeper needs tc know. When he learns this it is af easy matter for him to fool the man who drinks at the bar, If he happens tr be connected with a place which deals Indifferently with the brands of whisky. "Yes, there are but very few good Judges of whisky. Nine out of ten of the drinking men boast of the fact that they know good whisky, but they do not. The only thing they have learn ed, as a matter of fact, Is the differ ence between strong whisky and mild w hlsky, and a mere novice In the drink ing business will know this much nfter a few rounds with the cup."

CURTIS J. LYONS, Observer. SHOT AT FORTY-FIVE. "A man should be dragged out and shot when lie has reached the age of 45 years. He has outlived his useful ness He Is dead timber In the path way of progress under modern Indus trial conditions. I suggest that a law be drafted and submitted to the Legis lature for passage which shall provide that all persons be shot at tho age of 45 years unless they can show that they have enough property saved up to keep them during the rest of their natural lives." This was the wv the serious ques tion of an age limit for mechanics and laborers was put by one of the speak ers at a meeting of the Chicago Fede ration of Labor. Some of the railroads and large manufacturing establish ments now refuse to hire a man over Z' years old. and mechanics are dis charged at (he age of 48 years by these concerns because they are too old. Ma chinists, carpenters and men In other trades tentlflpd that a similar age limit was belne enforced by various classes of employers. EXPENSIVF. SPEECHES.

At a time whan the ratttd nroareaa of the United Hates toward the position of primacy among the nations Is excit- I lng the wonder of the world, one is startled by the mere suggestion that , there is any sphere of human enterprise 1 In which the young republic lags be- i hind her rivals. Such a suggestion Is J made by Carl Snyder in the North Am-) erlcan Review, to which he contributes an article entitled "America's Inferior , place In the scientific world." America has produced great men of science, such as Franklin. Count Rumford, Simon Newcomb and others; yet, according to Mr. Snyder, with the single exception of astronomy, there is no branch of science In the recent development of which America has taken even an in significant pari. That may be due to the fact that we have no such institu tions as the college of France, in Paris, and the Royal Institution, In London, which provide" opportunity for learned men to pursue their researches system atically. Mr. Snyder Illustrates his con tentions with instances drawn from arlous department of investigation: Pasteur's memorable discovery that the fermentation of beer was due solely to the presence of minute organisms, microbes, was made early in the '60s. That was 40 years ago. Step by step the Ideas of Pasteur grew and broaden ed. Applied to the disease of the vines 1 then to dying silk worms, then to sheen cholera, they are estimated, before his death to have saved to France alone a sum greater than the cost of the Prus sian war, with the colossal Indemnity , uemanued uv ulsmarcK thrown In. Pas I teur's own researches culminated in the germ theory of contagions. A young Kngllsh surgeon, now Lord Lister, ap plied his Idea to the method of surgical I operations; this step was enormous. I Today operations are common that were ; unheard of 30 or 40 years ago; unknown diseases, such as annendlcitls, have I been discovered, and a radical cure has I been found for them. Germans, like 'Retiring and Koch, Japanese like Klta , sato, a -rowd of disciples and followers of the Master, as he Is ( known In France, have extended Pasteur's Ideas 1 to tho tr "atment of dipt her In, lockjaw, j anthrax and many other scourges. I "'hanks to him, hydrophobia has been ! robbed of Its terrors. At last, medicine I begins dimly to emerge from quackery I and empiricism, and bids fair In time to become a true science. All this belongs to the present day, most of It to the last decade or so. yet in all this bril liant list of discoveries and applications no American name is to be found; even though we have a larger number of medical schools, medical professors and medical students than any other coun try in the world. WOODBUllY'S BET. They are tei.ing a story of how Major ' Woodbury. New York's new commls- sloner of streets "cleaned up" Broadway with an Insulting chaufleur. He was , driving with a friend in a buggy. In the maze of vehicles an automobile came hurtling through, scnterlng ter- 1 ror on every side. "Hi, there!" shouted i the man at the motor to Mr. Woodbury, who was driving. "Get out of there!" "It's a bet," unswered the jnnjor as he tossed the reins to his friend nnd leaped 1 to the grouiyl. Reaching up. he graspeff ; ' the chauffeur by the collar and yanked ! him from the box. The major Is a per- 1 feet Snndow. nnd knows how to box I fast. He was giving the chauffeur a j ' nuunu winisning xvnen aiong came a ! policeman. Both boxers went to court I where tne Judge complimented Mr. I woouuury on standing up ror his lights. ; ON EDWARD'S LIFE. Insurance policies on King Edward's life have been Issued for sums ranging from $10,000 to J20.000 by Toronto Insur- nnce companies, and the Montreal com panies, according to the 8nr of that I city, will also accept business of 'that , kind. It Is estimated that King Edward i Is a $15,000,000 risk to Biillsh companies 1 of which $9,000,000 is carried byUrades- j men who are protecting themselves againsi the possible death of the king I ueiore me coronation, it appears that i any one can take out a policy on King Edward's life provided an Insurable interest can be shown, and presumably there are such Interests in Canada. FOR DISTINGUISHED MEN. A' society nearly as uncanny us a suicide club, but much mor.; useful, is being organized by Prof. Burt G. Wilder of Cornell university. Only distinguish ed men can belong to It. Its members pledge themselves to bequeath tlulr . : . . . . ...... .j . 1. . 1 . . . scientific purposes.

SHAFTER'S HARD WORK. Poultney Blgelow took another shot at the hero of "Alone In Cuba" In a lecture at St. Louis a night or two ago, saying that Roosevelt's rough riders shouted at the wrong place and hnd to be shoved Into line by two regiments of regulars." There was present Major George K. Hunter of the regular army, who said he agreed with "nearly every thing" said, and added that "Gen. Shatter did nothing at Santlugo but sit In a hammock and mop sweat from ills brow." Springfield Republican. THE LAST SPIKE.

SHE WAS TOO QUICK. A Knnsas City Judge annulled a de ciee of divorce In the caso of a wo man who married her principal witness Immediately after the court had grant ed her the separation.
