The police in Denmark have a curious way of dealing with the drunk and incapable found in the streets. They summon a cab and place the patient inside it, then drive to the station, where he gets sober ; then home, where he arrives sober and sad. The agents never leave him till they have seen him safe in the family bosom. Then the cabman makes his charge, and the police surgeon makes his, and the agsnts make their own claim for special duty, and this bill is pre sented to the host of the establishment where the culprit took his last overpowering glass.
The publicans, however, have in several towns protested against this system. They say the proofs are often insufficient, and the police surgeona too summary in their examin ation ; further, that many notorious ev.'l-doers sham drunk in order to get the landlord into trouble. _ They therefore claim that they shall have their own doctor to examine certain cases and defend the publican interest.
