ENGLAND'S DRINK-BILL.

The detailed statement of En-
glands annual dlink-bill, recently
published by the London Times,
while showing reduction from that
of the previous year, docs not afford
any marked encouragement to the
friends of temperance reform. The
report is signed by Rev. Dawson
Burns, d. D., a member of the sta
tistical society, who remarks that
the reduction of The drink-bill from
$631, 100000 to $616, 10000 is prob
ably due more to ''the continued, and
in some quarters embarrassing, depress-
ion in trade, than to the growth of
thrift and temperance IN the country
Mr.. Burns further says: ''Wlth the
removal of this depression we should
most probably find the drink-bill be-
come heavier and it's social consequent
ces become darker" That this is
not mere matter of opinion but is
a reasonable inference from the sta
tistics of former years Mr.. Burns
conclusively shows by giving the sta
.tistics from 1860 to 1885 inclusive,
which prove that the state of trade in
England reflects itself in the drink
bill of that country. Mr.. Burns says,
in comment ting on the statistics he
presents: "The years of CONNER
cial prosperity brought with them
vastly augmented expenditure upon
strong drink, and even when that
prosperity began to decline, the spec
ial impetus that had been given to
drinking habits resisted for a long
time and yielded but slowly to the
stress of diminishing resource" In
times of commercial and industrial
depression the people have begun by
economizing in other directions, but
have only cut down their drink ex-
penditure when they were compelled
to do so. The increase between 1860
and 1885 from 1925, 100000 to
$616, 100000 is of course part
ly accounted for by growth in
population. but Mr.. Burns takes the
gloomy view, which is probably only
too we'll founded, that the increase
| indicates decline, instead of pro-
gress, in temperance.

When the South American Moxie first intro

This elegantly bred stallion was purchased when
yearng by the late Mr.. Benz. E. Bates, for $1,000
expressly to take the place of his renowned sire
the Bates Farm; AS will be seen by the following
statement of pedigree, he is full of Ethan Allen and
Abdalah blood his sire, Daniel Lambert, being the
best of old Ethan Allen, out of Fanny Cook, by
Abdallah (sire of Rysdyk's Hambletonian,) while
his dam, Clara is daughter of Ethan, out of the DR.
Dixon mare, also by Abdallah. 1t is therefore not
to be wondered at that he looks and acts like
Daniel Lambert than any other of his offspring. His
color nice chestnut, he stands Is hands and
weighs 1000 lbs, with the most beautiful style,
ton and disposition imaginable. His record of
2.283 was made Nov. l, 1885, after brief prepare
ton and an unfavorable day. He has shown full
mile trials in 2.23s. and quarters in "a seconds.
The superiority of the Lambert stock is too well
known to require elaborate explanation. Daniel
Lambert is the first of living sires, judged by
the true test, the 2.30 list, and his sons are
showing remarkable prepotency. Golden as
stock horse will in due time add to his sire's fame

Baby's English.

Many infants talk at a surprising ly
early age. Instances have been known
of babies yet in their swaddling
