KING ALCOHOL.
DRINKING HABITS OF CONTINENTAL PEo-
Plea TERRIBLE ADVANCE.


A London letter to the Paris Morning
Nesus gives the following terrible synopsis
of the effects of the drink habit in
Europe
A parliamentary paper just published
contains reports from Her Majesty's
Diplomatic and Consular officers upon
the consumption of intoxicating liquors
abroad. The consumption of spirits in
North Germany is very great, and out
of yearly average Of 4,45O suicides in
Prussia for five years, 508 have been due
to dipsomania and delirium tremens.
The Prussian states alone showed 1921
men and 90 women treated yearly for
delirium tremens. Taking the whole
expenditure upon beer, wine and spirits.
it amounted to 907 100000 marks, O.
more than double the amount realized
by the Prussian Exchequer for its taxes,
stamp duties, etc.
In France the sad effects of drunken
ness once witnessed haye been consider
ably lessened by the passing of salutary
act. In 1875 the numbers punished for
open drunkenness were $4,000, but by
1880 had fallen to $4,000.
In Sweden and Norway the consump-
ton of spirits has been declining for
some years past, but in Denmark the
evil Of spirit drinking has reached to a
terrible pitch. The number of drunk
ards who have committed suicide has
risen in 80 years from one-seventh to
one-third while three-fourths of all
those taken into custody are for crimes
committed under the influence of drink
Belgium affords incontestably the
worst statistics in regard to the CON
sumption of alcoholic liquors. In less
than half century the use of spirituous
liquors has more than trebled itself in
that country, while the population has
only advanced from $500, 900 to $500,
600. Although the country is SO small
it contains 125,000 places devoted to the
sale of intoxicating liquors. There is 9
Ipublic house ON the average for every
twelve or thirteen grown up males.
In Holland the number of houses fol-
the sale of drink was $4,000 in 1873, sc
! that in population of 100000 there
was drink-shop of every so inhabitants
| WOLhCA bAAI O11AANAClls DuV
owing to the exertions of portion O
the community, the legislature passed 9
restrictive law in 1881, with the result
that in the course of one year the drink
shops decreased from $4,000 to $4,000.
| Switzerland exhibits an unsatisfactory
increase in the drink traffic. Between
1870 and 1880 the population advanced
l6.5 per cent, but the public houses In
creased % per cent.
| In 1886 there were in Vienna alone
| 1924 drinking houses, and {, 103 persons
were in that year arrested for being
drunk. The hospitals, lunatic asyluml
and prisons of the country all testify tt
the advance of drinking habits.
/ Ii is suggested that the clergy, nledica
men and schoolmasters of every natioi
could DO much to mitigate this evil i
their sympathies could be thorough,
reused. Continental workmen general
| ly spend large proportion of their earn
ings IN drink without becoming or bein
classed as absolute drtlnkards.
