A TEMPERANCE DARKROOM.
Ono of Boston's Institutions which Is
Well Patronized.

temperance barroom in Boston that is a
great success in every way is on Washington
street, and advertises In big letters, @renlper
ance Drinks" The man who started this cs-
tiblisihnent three years ago says he lost sew
eral thousand dollars the first six months of
his experiment. But he is willing and able to
wait He lets his saloon advertise itself by
Its refreshing drinks and attractive furnish
ing Behind the marble counter stand six
young men in white coats and cans. Each
man wears flower in his buttonhole and a
pleasant look on his face of Icing in Il bust
ness which rlakcth not ashamed. Over the
counter Is a long list of the beverages on
sale. Besides ice-cod soda in all its agreeable
compounds, there are lactartS, egg phos-
pilates, acid phosphates, Moxie's nnrve food,
hot hecf tea, chicken tea and other refreshing
and mvigorating fluids-all OF the Kind that
cheers without inebriatng. Ia the rear of
the saloon there is lunch counter, where the
very best chicken and ham sandwiches, pies,
rolls and delicious coffee may Ire had at mod
crate rates.
On any day at inch time the room will be
found crowded, men waiting their turn to
take their lunch The custom at this counter

the drinking counter there is no sltcrlnission
in the stream of customers. During the hour
spent there talking with the proprietor there
were more applicants than could be
immediately attended to by the large
and active force of attendants. The
proprietor said that they had con
sumed 100 dozen eggs IN one Jay during
the hot season for egg phosphates alone.
That means that 200 people took glass Of
this one fascinating drink On that day. What
the sales of the other drinks were he did not
say; hut he does say that the profits Of the
trade are, in his opinion, l5user as well as
cleaner, than are made in the barrooms of
the old kind.
Only the very incest material is usd in the
preparation Of his refreshments. The eggs
ere furnished by one collector who is paid
nearly double the market price TO warrant
their freshness. So particular is the propric-
tor that he gave up the Use of grape milk, a
profitable and popular unfcrmentcd drink,
b eau h" found ii to contain | :. pcr cent Of
alcohol. There is no fuss or philanthropy
about thi, bar room; no prctense that it is
carried on for any other raEpoc than TO male
moaey. And the interesting and encouraging
;,tmc about il is Just herc-it really pays
better than liquor saloon Of It's size would
pay. What the gains are TO the people who
accept il in place of TIE old tap nobody can
tell But The proprietor voaA lac less than
