temperance Among the Ancients
Inc history of Europe, for a long series of
centuries has, indeed, been a history OF men

degg;a, degSheraton M by alcohol. The frequent bold
oenlais OK the latter fact justify q brief re-
view OF the development OF the alcohol vice

OF the latter centuries of pagan civilization
avenged themselves by a rapid decline in ali
the essential endowments of that physical
vigor that had made Rome and Greece al
most invincibe bulwarks against the inroads
Of Eastern barbarism In the century of
Leon1das, when temperance lessons went
hand in hand with the athletic training of the
Spartan gymnasia, one Spattan warrior was
considered a match for two wine-drinkine
Athenians, and for at least dozen wine and
Deer guZziing Asiatics. In Magma Graecia
(Sicily and southern Apulia) where Grecian
civilization attained its zenith of material
prosperity, absolute abstinence from intoyi-
eating drinks was enforced by the precepts
OF PythagoraS whose philosophy had nc-
quired almost the authority of an established
religion. The athlete Milo who could break
a bulls head with a blow of his fist and uso
his arms as props for the pillars of falling
temple, was disciple of that school, and his
natlve city, Crotona, recognized temperance
as a chief condition OF election to numerous
Offices of public trust. Similar laws pre-
vailed in Agrigentum, and in Syracuse, the
champion city of tho southern Caucasians
and the last refuge of freedom when the
hordes OF Africa attempted the conquest of
the Grecian colonies. A thousand years later,
when all southern Europe was sunk in alco-
hammed had stee1ed the manhood of the
Semitic races, the descendants of those Sici-
lian heroes were vanquished again and again

Beer Drinking in Chicago

There are eighteen breweries in Chicago
which makes on an average ,50O, ,O0O barrels
of beer annually. About 800, 900 barrels
come here from Milwaukee and other cities
Nearly all the beer made here is consumed
here so that we drink 100000 barrels each
year. AS each pint bottle makes two glasses,
if 1 remember correctly, there would be six
teen glasses in n gallon, or 49G glasses in u
barrel of thirty gallons-a grand total OF
S02, coo, ,0J0 glasses. That seems TO be a won-
derful lot OF beer. Suppose there are 800.
900 people in Chicago aud its suburbs-and
that is where all these ,SOO,O0O barrels are
consumed annually-each man, woman and
child would get, on q fair apportionment. n
little more than 595 glasses or nearly two a
day. know lots of people who don't drink
that much beer in all their lives, SO there
must be some who drink pretty industriously.
am told that good fat beer drinkers of in
dustry and skill in the business habitually
get away with fifty and sixty glasses n day.
A few hundred people of this kind would, of
course, do a great deal to lower the general
average. Chicago Ne,oS.

4 Judges Change.

The liquor traffic seizes the machinery, the
eneinery of legislation. and by it creates a
moral phenomenon of perpetual motion
which nature denies TO physics; for it licenses
and empowers itself to beget in endless
rounds the wrongs, vices and crimes which
society is organized to prevent. And worst
of all for our country, it encols parties like
the serpents OF LAGOON, and crushes in its
folds the spirit of patriotism and virtue. -

The Wilmington Cooperative Coal
Company was three years old on Satur-
day, and the event wss celebrated by the
members In the evening, at the office of
comrany foot OF Orange street. A table
wfs spread IN the large building IN the
rear OF the office, and loaded TO repletion
with ice cream, cakes and fruit, to which
all present were welcomed. Alter full
justice had been done to the many good
things, speeches were made and toasts
proposed and responded TO. Several
selections were sung, and the evening,
until nearly midnight, spent In very
pleasant manner.
A statement made by Manager Sova
shows that the success OF the company
has teen beyond the mott sanguine ex-
pectations of Its origiuators. It was
formed by workingmen, and to prevent
any one man obtaining control the num-
ber OF shares OF stock allowed each men,
Der was limited. The original rlan was
10 obtain coal fcr the members at the
lowest possible cost, but ss there was q
demand on the part OF many, not mt M
beis, TO be permitted to share these bene-
his, IL Was resolved 20 sell coal to all
who wished, at the same price 1t was
furnished to membere.
Tie result has been that each year of
the company's existence 1t has been
Obliged to add another wagon to meet
the constantly growing demand. Last
year the business was double that OF the
hrst year, and the prospects for the CON-
ing year are brighter than ever. Ar
rAprements have been perfected with
sort of the leading mincs In Pennsyl-
vanis for an unlimited supply OF the
pest coal, and with the increased facili-
ties for q ling orders. Manager scya
expects to be able to meet all demands
promptly.
