In satin and laces she looked like the queen,
And he like king in his pride.

The carriage and couple he eyed,
And said as he worked with a saw on a log.
"Iwish was rich and could ride"
The man in the carriage remarked to HIS wife,
zone thing would if I could
I'd give my wealth for the strength and health
OF the man who sawed the wood
pretty young maid, with bundle OF work,
Whose face as the morning was fair,
Went tripping along with smile of delight,
While humming a love- breathing air.
She looked on the carriage; the lady she saw
Arrayed in apparel so fine,
And said in whisper, II wish from my heart
That those satins and laces were NINE"
The lady looked out on the maid with her work.
So fair in her calico dress,
And said, I'D relinquish position and wealth
Her beauty and youth to possess"
Thus it is in the world, whatever our lot,
Our minds and our time we employ
In longing and signing for what we have not,
Ungrateful for what we enjoy.

The loss in revenue from these sources for
the last year was nearly So 900, 900, of which
nearly 81, 900, 900 was through the falling off
in receipts from distilled spirits. The num-
Der of gallons Of spirits returned for taxation
for the year ending sJune 80 last was 50,-
7O4, 189, against IS, 543, 800 for the preceding
year, falling off of Z 1888, POI gallons. The
figures also show a loss of nearly $1,000, 900
from tobacco, ardabout $400, 1000 from banks
and bankers. The increased consumption
OF fermented liquors is shown by nearly
$500,0 increase in revenue, the increased
consumption for the year representing 431,
All barrels Of 81 gallons each. The loss in
revenue from tobacco arose from the falling
off OF receipts from manufactured tobacco.
The loss on this item was S2,74O, 159, while
from cigars and cigarettes there was an in
crease OF $685., 94S.
In order to show the enormous quantity OF
fermented liquors annually consumed in the
United States it is only necessary to give the
figures furnished by the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue. From these 1t appears that
the number of barrels of 81 gallons each
which entered into consumption for the
year was 1924, All. The quantity of liquor
comprised by these figures will be better I'M
derstOOd when they are converted into 3l7,-
5,6Ol gallons. Placing che population OF
the United States at 100000 souls, these
figures give fraction over gallons as the
quantity consumed by every man, woman,
and child in the country. 1t is fair to pre-
snme that about one half of our entire pop
ulation, Including children, do not drink
any fermenred liquors, which would make
the quantity consumed by each drinker
equal to over IA gallons. From these esti-
mates some idea may be formed of the guam
tity Of beer consumed by the regular and
steady drinkers.
OF distilled spirits about 81 900, 900 gallons
entered into consumption during the year,
but as large quantities of spirits are consumed
in the arts and exported. no intelligent esti-
mate can be formed Of the quantity con-
sumed in the United States. 1t will be no
ticed that the quantity of spirits entered for
consumption and taxation during the year
is equal to more than one gallon for every
inhabiJant in the United States.
| The total amount OF cigars upon which
tax was paid for the year was 1905, 063, 743,
which number is exclusive of 165, 189, 594
cigarettes. This would give, excluding the
cigarettes, over 40 cigars to every inhabitant
OF the country, and, assuming that one
fourth of our entire population are smokers,
it would give each smoker 16S cigars for
the year.
The number of pounds of manufactured
tobacco consumed during the year was 25,-
3l2, 1888, which is equal to more than one
half pound for every person in the country.
This includes manufactured tobacco of every
description not used for the manufacture OF
cigars.
