A traveller may go all over the con-
tinents of Europe, of Asia aud Africa,
without RSeeiug any man, except Yam
kee, offer to "treat," and the Frenchmen
are quite social enough, but when they
turn lnto cafe to zip their wine or
branded coffee toge ether, each man pays
for his own. When two Germans, long
separated, meet, they will be very likely
to embrace, and then to turn into an
adjacent beer cellar, sit down and drink
lger and eat pretzels and chat but
when they part again, each man settles
his own score independently.
So in Italy. The Italians are pro-
verbally merry and generous, but every
man pays for his own wine, macaroni
and cigars. They never go into each
others pocket books in the sacred name
of friendship. They would as soon think
of ira ansfering to each other their washer
woman's bills.
The preposterous fashion of "treatiug"
is responsible for the terrific drunken
ness in America. There would be as
little need of temperance societies and
little work for the Good Templars as
there is in Germany, France and Italy,
if this pernicious and insldious habit
was abolished. 1t is, take i: all in all,
the most ridiculous, the most unroason-
able and the most pcstilsnt custom that
ever laid its tyrannical hand on civilized
human beings.

A Standing Treat.

The Chicago Post says no American
custom causes more genuine surprise and
amusement among travelling foreigners
than that which is kno wn in our saloons
as treating" consisting in the enter
tainment of two more with refreshment
for which one volunteers to pay. 1t is
u pure Ameriranism and all over the
Republic it is as common as in Europe
it is unknown. There is probably no
minute or any day in the year when two
or three hundred citizens of Chicago are
not guzzlng something stronger than
water at somebody else's expense.
The casual meeting Of two men who
have never excha aged word together
is signal for both instantly to exclaim,
Come, let's have something 70 and for
both to drive down into the nearest
subieranean cavity below the sidewalk.
The one who spoke first usually insists
upon paying the shot" the word s.shot"
being metaphorical reference to the
deadly character of the coutents usually
taken into the stomach. If two old
friends meet, the regular thing to say
first is, Lets drink to old times - and
