Save the Wine.

In Tokio a confirmed tippler, having occasion to send his servant, a country girl to buy some sake, which is a native drink, said, placing the empty bottle in her hands: “Now be very carefnl and see that you don't fall in coming bock. If you fall, you know, you will be Bure, one way or another, to spill the wine. Of course, if you are obliged to fall, I suppose you must; but in that case put down the bottle carefully on the road and then fall.”—Judge.
