LIQUORS IN FRANCE.


The Use of Alcoholic Beverages Constant
Iy on the Increase.
The receipts from the tax upon dis
titled liquors in France indicate that
thu use of Intoxicating beverages con-
tanning large percentage of alcohol is
constantly on the increase. There was
time, not many years ago, when the
French people confined themselves
very largely to the use of light wines,
and when the traveller in France rarely
encoun tered an intoxicated person.
Indeed, the statement used frequently
to be made by writers in this country
that, judging by experiences in France,
it was safe to say that the effect of the
use of light wines and beer was to
drive out heavy alcoholic liquors. and
that to acquire the taste for these mild
beverages was tantamount to acquir-
ing dislike for more potent intoX-
icants. But later experiences tend
to ,iisprove conclusions based upon
the foregoing line of reasoning, for
within the last few years not
only the French, but the Swiss pco-
Pile have shown a marked and grow
in distilled drinks having high per-
centage of alcohol, and in certain parts
of both countries the amount of trunk
enr ess is increasing with terrible rapid
ity. Various reasons have been given
for this change, the most plausible of
which is that the cheap processes of dis
tillation and improved methods Of
transportation have provided oppor-
tunities that did not previously exist,
and that it was lack of opportunity
rather than any distaste that in previous
years prevented the use of strong alco-
holic beverages, so, now that the con-
diticns are changed. there is nothing to
prevent a large consumption. While
temperance societies have never made
much Roadway in France, it is not inn
probable that, in view of the new perils
that threaten the people, movements of
this kind will be begun. The consump-
ton OF liquors in France is still far be-
low the average of some other Euro
pean countries; but. with the rate of
increase OF the last three or four years,
it will not take long to bring the
French people up, or perhaps down, to
this undesirable level. Already the
danger is exciting attention from some
of the leading public men, and before
the century is out it is not improbable
that a blue ribbon crusade may be UNI
dertaken in this great center of tho
wine-producing industry.-N. e. Her

Had Raphael seer a face
Like this lnly trace
Full proved and sweet, with lily lustrous skin,
Fond. rosy lips and dainty. dimpled chin,
And large and soulful eyes,

ours
So fair cherub then
He straight had limned, that men
Had said: This passes art;
Earth hath no counterpart;
The master had communion WITH angelic pow

A glory all too bright
To shine on mortal sight,
Save through the veil of matter, gildeth earth;
In uncreated glory it hath birth,
And cometh US to cheer,
Saying: Beyond, not here
Opilgrim soul, thy native country lies"
1t gloweth near and far,
dew drop and in star,
But in beauteouS child,
BY sin still indebted,
More purely than in aught beneath the kindly
skies.
Why doubt that God is love, "
When daily from above
These little messengers to earth descend,
To tell us He who made us is our FriendS
And when brief is their stay,
Why count it wrong that they
Like rested birds, again should take to flight:
Their mission done tits time
They sought a gladder cline;
Others their presence need,
And so away they speed,
To do Gods bidding in the realms OF endless
light.

HE WAS FOND OF FRUIT.

Onicer Mctione Made Quite Catch Last
Night.
For sometime past the people residing
in the vicinity OF Main and Stewart
streets have missed their fruit which was
generally taken during the early morning
hours, as they watched the orchard during
the evening.
Special Officer Hill was sent to watch for
several nights but saw no one while he
was there and the depredations continued.
Last night Officer McGlone, who had
been on the lookout, saw n man come out
OF the orchard OF William Newell. As he
looked rather suspicious, the officer fol-
lowed him and when he reached an cleo
trio light he saw that the stranger was
abnormally large around the waist.
McGlone arrested him and took his
prisoner to the station, where upon search
ing him, thirty five apples were found in
side OF his vest. He gave his name as Dia
mond Grouard and said he was 81 years
OF age.
This morning he pleaded guilty to a
charge OF larceny and was fined ~ and
costs.
