By the English law heirlooms are exempt
.from probate duty, so the Duke of Hamil-
ton paid nothing on the treasures of Ins pal-
ace when he came into possession in 1863.
But when he sold them they ceased to be
heirlooms, it appears, and the Board of in-
land Revenue has shocked his Grace with a
sudden demand for £18,000, or 3 per cent. on
the $600,000 realized from the Hamilton
Palace sale.
A revolution is taking place in the drink-
ing habits of the Japanese. The rice brandy
called "saki," which has long been their
national beverage, is being supplanted by
beer brewed after the German method. In
Osaka the number of beer saloons has increas-
ed from thirteen to almost 600 in the last
four years, while thermmber of resorts where
"saki is sold has fallen off. Years ago the
Japs were wont to drink 130,000,000 gallons
of °saki" annually.

Von Moltke and Alcohol,
Gen. von Moltke has put on record his
testimony against alcohol, which he says he
never uses, and thinks unnecessary, and
sets down as "one of the greatest enemies
of Germany, the misuse of alcohol." But
he stands manfully by beer and wishes that
"tea, coffee, and light beer, could be made
cheaper than they are." For light wine he
has apparently nothingto say. Tee greatest
objection to beer, if it be not the only one,
as a popular drink, is that people keep at it
all the thne. The quantities that a real
votary consumes in the day, and especially"
in a hot day, are enormous, and the reason
is, perhaps, that it really does little or no-
thieg towards quenching thirst. On the con-
trary, there is much reason for believing
than it steadily excites thirst, or, in other
words, provides for ite own increased con-
sumption. It bids fair, however, to conquer
the world. The product in America is
enormous, and it makes steady strides in
supplanting light wine in France. But
nearly all the arguments in its favor are
based on the assumption that it is consumed
in moderation, whereas, as a matter of fact,
it is consumed immoderately, and when so
consumed is an undoubted deadener of soine
of the faculties'although it may not pro-
duce what is ealled intoxication. The force
of Gen. von Moltke's testimony in its favor,
too, is somewhat weakened by the Question
whether even his greatness in popular Ger-
man eye would bear the strain of an attack
on beer.

hisprompt and thorough obedience of orders.
It was he who, after the party had built
Fort Bodo and had been recuperated byrest
and plenty of food, pushed back over the
route again and brought up the abandoned
boat. He was the only white man in the
party -who was wounded by the dwarfs, a

plorers of the party. He traced. the course,
for a long distance of the Semliki River,"
which unites IVInta,,Nzige with Albert Lake.
He also ascended snow -crowned Mount
Ruwenzori for two days, till he came to a
deep gulf, on the other side of which lay the
summit of the mountain. The main expedi-
tion was on the move, and at this point he
had to turn back.
