Great Britain's Drink Bill.

MIR. William Hoyle again comes to the
front in the London Times with his usual
statistical LETTER on the annual Drink
Bill" of Great Britain. Mr.. Hoyle is an
extremely careful statistician. and his
yearly statement upon this subject is re-
garded as final authority. His figures are
founded upon the Board of Trade and En-
else returns. and they show that the prin-
cipal items of expenditure on intoxicating
liquors in the Kingdom in 1881 were rs
follows: Beer. S364.045.7l0; British
spirits. S143. 65S. sos; foreign spirits. Si9.-
al, $50; wine. S7o. 40l. 495; British wines
81 500, 900. The total is $685.. S72 800 as
compared with S6ll. S96.S75 for 1880
During the past 10 years expenditure upon
intoxicating drinks is estimated at 81. $780,
000.00 Estimating the indirect costs
and losses resulting from drinking at
$500, 00O, 600 annually. the total costs aud
losses to the British nation from its drink
expenditure is over 81 zoe. 000, 900 yearly.
Mr.. Hoyle calculates that the drink ex-
penditure has yearly averaged 81 500, 900
moro than the rental Of all tie houses and
land in the United Kingdom. He shows
BY statistics that during the last 25 years
the country has largely lost ground as
regards crime, pauperism and lunacy-
evils resulting chiefly from drinking; and
he argues that the financial success of the
budgets has been bought at the cost of
tho nations decentralization. These figures
show what an appalling evil intemperance
Is In Great Britain. and how slight an eff
fest tie great moral agencies constantly
g work have in Eliminating the consump-
n.0n - W0unP.

Every one blames the lady-daughter.
and pities the drudge mother The daugh-
ter sits in the parlor. in nice clothes and
elegantly arranged hair. dawdling over
novel or chatting with companions or
friends. Her mother is toiling in the
kitchen, or fretting her soul in the vain
attempt 10 reduce the pile Of ''mending,"
and at the same time looking after tum-
bling baby. The mothers face is worn
and thin. Baby has pulled her hair
askew. She still wears the old dress that
she put on in such hurry at half-past five
in the morning, when the baby woke her
mp from weary sleep. She is tired.

we confess. She can look in her ex-
hausted mothers face, and know how
much work there is to be done. and never
willingly put forth hand to help her.
Nay, she is going out TO tea this evening.
and will come TO her mother to have a
dress adjusted for the great occasion. She
casts much of the burden of her existence
upon the too generous heart that she does
not appreciate, and never once feels the
impulse to give the aid Of her youthful
strength. In all our modern world. there
is not an uglier sight than this-no. not
one II is but natural to throw the blame
of it upon the daughter. ''Heartless
wretch ~ we have heard such girl called
by indignant acquaintance, She Is to be
pitied rather. When she was little
child, all lovely and engaging. her moth
err said to herself: ''She shall not be the
drudge was. She shall not be kept out
of school to do homework as | was. She
shall have good time when she is young.
for there's no knowing what her lot will
be afterwards" And so her mother made
her young life long banquet Of delights.
Rough places were made smooth tor her;
all difficulties were removed from her
path The lesson taught her every hour
for wears was that it was no great matter
what other people suffered, if only her
mothers daughter had a good time. She
learned that lesson thoroughly. and fright
ful selGshness was developed in her.
Her eyes may fall upon these lines. If
so. we tell her that people in general will
make no allowance for the faults of her
bringing up. They will merely say. "See
what shocking and shameful return she
makes for her mothers indulgence and
generous care. Youths Companion.

Manifestations OF Fear.

II is said that the Emperor Charles the |
Fifth. reading an epitaph, Here lies one
who never knew fear" remarked, Then
he never snuffeda candle with his fingers"
1t is certainly somewhat absurd. though |
favorite claim for a popular hero, that |
'.he never knew fear No one possess |
ing human nerves and brain could say this |
with truth. That brave man never
yields to the emotion may be true enough
but to say that at no period of his life he
experienced fear is simply impossible. As
Lord Lytton expresses it:
at shames man feel mans mortal fear,
II shames man only IL that fear subdue.'
There is a story of a young recruit in
the Thirty Years War going into action
for the first time in his life in the highest
spirits. Look ut Johann" remarked one
OF his comrades. As the troops were drawn
mp ready to charge. .'he is full of Jokes
how brave he is.'' Not at ALL" replied
the veteran addressed; 'he knows nothing
Of what is coming. You and |, old COM
rade, are far Drawer; we sit still on our
horses though we are terribly afraid"
Fear certainly is one of the most ir-
rational of the passions. II is not always
excited by the presence of danger. Men
who can be cool and collected in cases of
real peril will tremble mt some tanciful
alarm. The Duke OF Schomberg could
face an enemy with ready courage. but
fled from n room if he saw Cat in it. a
very brave French officer tainted at the
sight of mouse. The author of the
Turkish Spy states that If he had a
sword in his hand he would rather en-
counter lion in the desert than be alone
in room with a spider. Many people
have similar fancitul antipathies which
excite their fears in a manner real danger
would be powerless to do. Fear of infec
ton is dread that embtters the lives of
many sensible people. There is legend
of an Eastern dervish. who. knowing that
the plague was about to visit u certain
city, bargained with the disease that only
specified number of victims should fall.
When twice the number persisted. the
plague explained its apparent breach of
contract by asserting Fear killed the
rest" In all times of epidemics doctors
can tell similar tales. During the Great
Plague of 1866. an unfortunate man died
purely from fright; practical joker who
met him in the street pretended to dis
cover the fatal "spots" upon him. and the
the poor man went home and died. not of
the disease. but Of sheer terror. A long
obituary list might he compiled of the VIE
tins Of fear; from the criminal in the
Middle Ages. who. reprieved after he had
laid his head on the block. was found TO
have died ere the axe could touch him,
down to the poor nun mentioned by
Horace Walpole. whose disreputable alb
bess literally frightened her to death"
by visiting her at night add telling her
that she was dying.
