From this table it will be observed
that the Americans drink less spirits
than the people Of Great Britain, Aus
tria, france, Russia, sweden, Germany,
Belgium, Switzerland, the Neither
lands or denmark in proportion 10 pop
ulati0n; less wine than Austria, france,
Germany, Belgium and Switzerland;
and less beer tnan Great Britain, Ger
many, Belgium, switzerland and Den
mark. We have the reputation Of be-
ing great whisky drinkers, yet only Can
ada and Norway consume less.
There are other curious facts to bo
found in this table. Germany has tho
reputation of being the great beer-drink-
ing country of the world, and yet it issur-
passed by Great britain, while they
imbibe nearly twice as much, and el-
gium, where they drink still more. The
smaller the country the more bibulous
they appear. In little Belgium they
drink (per Belgian twice AZ much
8, irits a. tho American, almost twice
as much vino as the knglishman, six
times as much beer as Dutchman,
and nearly three times AZ much as q
German, while tho average Swiss drinks
twico as much spirits as any other ma
tionality except Lame, more wine than
any peo ,le in europe except the rench,
and more beer than any other people
except the Lritish, Germans and bel
gians. The Dane stands Ut the head az
q drinker Of spirits, the rem hnan - Z
drinker Of wine, and the Belgian as I
drinker of beer. BY tue side Of such
figures as these an American, with his
five quarts Of whisky and three quarts
OF wine per annum, makes . pooE
showing.

The latest invention for covering
walls and ceilings is called ''soapstone

gray in tint, presents the Lest possible
surface for painting, either in oil or
