There viii shortly appear in our book stores
an original novelty for Easter, designed
bv two Buffalo girls who have met with such
unexpected encouragement among dealers to
whom they have submitted their work that they
have every prospect Of becoming successfui
business women. The little ornament, which
they have fashioned TO hang on cabinet
or gas bracket Easter morning, is white
satin crescent fringed with silver spaugIes
and busted over with silver powder.
In the same circle rests broken egg with a
cunning doSny chicken peepjug forth. his
bright eyes swapping mischievously from

hanging up this Easter greeting. We learn
that the young women have not once Intro

DRINK on thc Cen.in.nt.

From the London Times.
In France the consumption of alcohol is
over l, 1000 Hters per anuum. and the
number Of debts, or drink shops, about 400,
600, or one for every 100 inhabitants But
in certain Of the western departments the
proportion is one 70 every ilty-four, taking
all ayes and both sexes, which is equivalent
to from fifteen to twenty adult men. In the
central and southern departments wine is the
most fruitful form Of iutemperauce, but In
the north it is the spirit from grain, beet root
or potato that Is most consumed and causes
the most mischieyous results. In Holland
there were $1,000 drink shops In 1881, but
this number has since been reduced by two
thirds. In Russia a reduction has also taken
place from 25T 900 to lac, 600, while, on the
other hand. the duty has been very consider
ably Increased. In Berlin the authorities
have been very tolersn'. and the drink shops
have risen from 1857 in 1860 to 1896 in
1870. and II ,6O9 in 1850, while the drink
bill through Prussia Is about 26l. 200. 900 OF
marks per auuum, or els, CSC. COO. principally
contributed bv the lower classes. According
10 a report published by the Swiss statistical
bureau 10 would seem that in Sweden the
Gottenburg system has not been successful
in diminishing drunkenness or the mortality
from alcoholism, the annual average o. the
latter between 1856 aud 1860 being sixtv.
while between 1876 and tSS0 It rose 10 l5s.
In Den marx. Notwithstanding the closing of
many dis,llcries aud drink shops, there is no
country where the consumption OF alcohol
per head IS - large. where divorce and sui
eide arc so rampant or where alcoholism
makes such rsvages. Between 1871 aud 1850
the number Of Insane from alcoholism has
doubled, tie proportion being 10 per

Deca,ipg Fruit.
Exchange.

kAECtaHICs
It is grief to go through our great fruit
market 70 see the enormous we,te and
think Of the disappointed shippers. All
over the country, people who send fruit TO
New York or other markets, expect the
top prices. They often get bill Of ex-
psnses. Why2 The fruit wa1 picked care
iessly, bruised in the handling and pack
ing, and worse than all, great quantities
picked too ripe. Thousands OF crates and
baskets OF peaches aud pears, tens OF thou.
sands Of crates OF tomatoes, thousands OF
barrels OF apples and melons are thrown
away every year, and this year hes been
especially bard on fruit Of all sorts. The
moist weather has forced sucCulent
growth, which perhaps is the reason for
the rapid decay. The lesson to be drawn
from this state OF things is, not ship fully
ripe fruit; to pack with great care, hand
ling every article separately, even though
they may be apparently hard. Time thus
expended is money sAved. Do not un-
Justly blame the commission merchant for
what is your own fault. Itmatters not, il
year after year you have shipped in the
same manner and received good returns.
In some conditions OF the market, any
thing that is fruit will sell we'll. In times
OF abundance the case is quite otherwise.
The prime article sells at q fairly good
price, while inferior goods barely pay ex-
penscs, and sometimes even net loss.
