Liquors and Art in Texas.

The report giving the quantity of distilled liquors used in works of art, etc., in Texas shows that only 2,101 gallons of high wines are consumed, whereas of sour mash, oW Bourbon, rye, and such like, were devoted to art during the year 90,860 gallons and upward. The wide difference is readily accounted for when we remember that only a few drops of wino are needed to make tho cheeks red and rosy, but that the young men use a whole gallon of low wines to paint the town red after the party breaks up and they come in from the suburbs —Dallas News.
