Mr. Parnell has • brother in America who owns large

If teetotalism is to he the order of the day, and stimulants
are to be abolished from one's daily dietary, some pains
and trouble must be taken to encourage the sale of other
and pleasant t everages. Nothing is easier for • man than
to turn into a restaurant or • ptiblic-house and get a glass
of beer or • brandy and soda; but what • chaos he woald
have in many parts of London and other large towns to
find a good cup of tea or coffee, or a clear cold draught of
sparking water from a French syphon. Those who
endeavour to remove the old evils of alcohol drinking
should be careful to have ready to hand a pleasant i.ubsti-
tote. and I confess to thinking that cold water, pure and
simple, is not temptinz, even with • good dinner. It
seems to throw a damp upon the whole proceeding. Were
I • rigid abstainer and anxious to make proselytes I would
largely patronise the agreeable Zoedone, which has a fer-
ruginous and rather piquant nature, or the softer but
sparkling appo'inaris, pure soda water, fizzing lemonade,
and ginger beer, and I would always have syphons of
infinite variety on my table; then, after luncheon and
dinner, fragrant and good coffee shou'd be introduced,
with cream ad libitum if liked. Thus I would wean my
misguided friends delicately and gently, and almost
imperceptibly, from their intemperate habits. and not lay
myself open to the charge of stinginess in my
philmithropy.—PaysLoyz, in Brisk,/ paper.
