THE WHISKY HABIT.

The Prdiiic Farmer has insisted-tloes vet
that the true way 10 diminish tho immol-
crate drinking OF spirituous and fcrmentcd
liquors Is TO have IL considered degrading for
persons TO bo scon drinking nt public bars.
and especially that the treating habit bo
abolished. 1t will become 80 ms soon as the
average man becomes ashamed TO be seen i'm
drinking saloons. IL is public opinion alone,
educated thereto by the moro sobcr.mnded
that can bring this about. Accomplished. it
would reduce tho public dram shop nuisance
one-half Mt once, and finally, do away almost
entirely with these pest holes of drunkenness
IL would mako Sundays orderly in our great
cities, save money to the homes of working
men, eliminate ninc-tenths OF the criminals
from the country, and carry the hundreds Of
millions of dollars now viciously spent in
drink into making the homes OF the now in
temperate classos comfortable lt would do
away in great measure with strikes and
Other labor troubles, for then tho working
men could think not only earnestly, but co.
gently toward righting tho differences be-
tween employers and themselves.
IL has been said that the conNimptiun of
spirits is yearly decreasing through the cnp"..
ment of prohibitory laws. The New York
Tribune gives from official sources.
the decrease and increase in salcs to tho
people from 1877 to 1857 a digest shows
that, taking the quantities consumed in con.
secutive periods of thrco years, the average
In lSSS was l.23 gallons against 10 gallons
In the three years ending with 1879. This in.
cludos every man, woman and child in the
country. What presentation! In lSS,
counting five individuals ns the AVERAGE
family, this would give each adult over six
gallons OF strong whisky yearly.

One of them heard the Gospel MESA : O. and

"Well said the skeptic, 'if you must pay
for them, you may give me what the sheep

The man counted out the value of the
sheep and interest on tho amount, and laid

leaving a load on his nelghbor's heart almost
as heavy as that which ho himself had borne.
The full result OF that scene is only known
