A new French periodical, La Tempe
rance, says that for the last thirty years,
there has been gradual and rapid in
crease in the undue consumption of aloo-
hot under its various forms. In 1920,
France did not consume more than $780,
900 heotolitres of spirits {7,7OO, 900 gal
lons;) in 1850 this number rose to $685.
600 heotolitres (l2, ,B7O. 900 gallons;) md
in 1869 it attained to 978, 600 hectolitres
ri, GIG. 600 gallons)-an increase which
the author chiefly attributes to the i'm
mense development OF the manufacture
OF beet-root and corn brandiea. The
consequences have proved extremely dis
astrous. From 1649 to 1869, the annual
number Of accidental deaths from intoxi-
cation rose from 331 to 5S7, and that Of
suicides from the same cause, increased
from 240 to 664. Grimes against persons
committed under the influence of alcohol
have followed the same ascending scale.
Lastly, there has been q corresponding
augmentation in the number of cases Of
lunacy originating In the same cause, and
especially in the departments where the
aforementioned manufactured brandies
are produced. These startling facts have
reused the attention OF those who desire
the revivalof France, and a society has
been formed to counteract the banefnl
influence Of this banefnl habit.

The Union Tea-HTeetIngs.

TIE EXERCISES AT GRACE CHURCH LAST EHENINd.
The Tea meeting, last evening, at Grace church.
in the interest OF the Woman's Foreign Mission
ary Society, was decided success. and greatly
enjoyed by the large audience present. Not
withstanding the April showers during the day,
and the threatening character OF the evening
the room was nearly filled. The room, always
beautiful, was rendered much more attr active
than usual by the neatly and bountifully spread
table, and the exquisitely arranged floral decora-
tions.
Rev. DR.. Matlack, pastor lef the church, pre-
sided. Prayer was offered by Rev. Il. Stubbs,
after which an hour was spent in social converse
around the tables, and doing Justice to the excel
lent tea, coffee and viands literally spread upon
them. Thi slabor Of love having been performed,
all we're in good condition for the remainder Of
the programme.
Mrs. Thomas, OF the Indian Mission, where
she spent ten years in work with her husband
Rev. Mr.. Thomas, gave a very interesting sketch
Of Mission life in that country, Of the prejudices
to be met, the obstacles to be overcome, and the
earnest labor required. She gave also, a very
satisfactory account of the manner in which the
ladies sent out by this society perform their
work, and the great success that has already at
ready attended them, and the promise of much
greater results in the future.
Miss Comb, who goes to China in May, as Mis-
sionary Physician, having graduated in Medi-
cine, recently, in Philadelphia, spoke earnestly
| and feellngly of her connections of duty in re-
gard to the Mission work, the preparations she
had made for it, and the cheerfulness with which
she goes to encounter all tue privations that may
| be her lot in the path in which duty calls her.
The evenings pleasure was greatly frightened
| by the musical performances. Mr.. II. F. PickelH
and Miss Parker took conspicuous parts, but the
solos by Miss Ormand, Of the Wesleyan College
were charming. In fact, when mentioned in our
presence, since the evening, they have been
highly praised, the ladies' usually remarking,
Just splendid"
Mrs. Keene, Of Philadelphia, was introduced
and gave brief and instructive sketch OF the
organization and growth Of the Society, and re-
ferred to its rapid increase in members and in
fuence in the short time Of It's existence. She
also indicated the places in heather lands &c.
lected for the representatives OF this Society to
labor in and the reasons for their selection con-
cluding with giving some Of the results already
accomplished.
