THE GREAT EVIL.

What the Nation Crank in 1SsG-The
Immeasurable Damage and Ruin
Wrought.
The following figures, compiled by
the chief of the Bureau of Statistics
at Washington may be accepted as
approximately correct:
For the year 1886 there were con-
sumed by our sixty millions of popula-
ton Y, POI, GA gallons of distilled
spirits, 22,067, 220 gallons of wine,
and 1877, 296, 554 gallons of malt
liquors, or an average of 21.62 gallons
per capita to population. A compar-
ison with similar statistics covering
nearly half century shows a marked
and steady growth in the use of
malt liquors, along with q moderate
decrease in total number of gallons
used of spirits and wines, which be-
tokens, however, very large decrease
in their per capita consumption.
The taxes collected from the manu-
facture and sale Of liquors by the
Government was $88, 76S, 997, or about
$1.76 for every inhabitant of the United
States
A further careful estimate of the Ma
tion's drink bill shows the actual cost
OF liquors is over $500, coo, 900 per an
mum. The indirect cost is much more,

remedy for this gigantic BURDEN

It was the work of but a moment to
take off his thin corduroy-the rag

and fling himself down upon the
ice. Crawling carefully on hands and
knees towards the hole in the ice, he
uttered swift but silent prayer: ''Oh,
God, save him-he isn't fit to die"
1t was with transport of JOY that
the noble little fellow saw Arthur S
head rise through the opening. The
face was white, and wan and scared,
but its expression changed as a CHEEKY
voice called: Don't, for PHYS sake,
