FACTS AND FINDINGS.

BETWEEN the ages of twenty-five and
thirty, where ten total abstainers die,
thirty-one moderate drinkers die.
THE breweries of the world consume
yearly 1900, 600 tons of barley and co.
600 tons of hops. British breweries
consume 100000 bushels of barley
and $1,000 tons of sugar.
THE Lewiston (Me.) police arc great
ly bothered in their liquor raids by
the electric alarms with which all the
saloons of that city are provided, and
they propose TO arrest all outside
loungcrs who press the button while
the bartender docs the rest"
IT is said that one woman in every
sixty in London is gin-drinker, one III
every twenty pauper and one in thir-
teen illiterate. Should the custom of
employing women and girls as bar
maids become as common in this coun-
try as it is in England, a similar melan-
choly result may become true with us.
NOT long ago two unprinciplcd
Americans opened a beer shop in
Monterey, Mex, and put picture of
George Washington on their sign. Gen
Reyes, governor of Nuevo Leon,
promptly ordered the likeness re-
moved, saying that George Washing
ton was too good a man to have his
portrait used as beer sign.
AT recent meeting of the Scottish
temperance league, Rev Henry Dun
can commented on the startling fact
that during the last thirty years the
population Of the country had increased
twenty per cent, while the consump-
ton of alcoholic liquor had increased
two hundred and forty seven per cent
OF the 90207 arrests in New York
city last year, according to the police
reports, no less than 30, GO were at
tributablc to the liquor traffic Nearly
forty thousand were directly credited
to the traffic by the police. The
records also showed that crime of all
kinds was increasing in the city faster
than the population.

LIQUOR DRINKING IN FRANCE.
Consumption Per Head Larger Than In
England.

Consumption Per Head Larger Than In
England.
There is drink question in France,
Is well as in England, and, as a pastor
remarked at the Oratoire church at
meeting of the McAll Missions, drunk
enness is likely if allowed to increase
without check to prove the ruin Of
France The consumption per head of
alcohol in this country is already larger
by q great deal than in England. A
large proportion of this alcohol is,
however, in the form of wine, which,
particularly if not taken between
meals, may be considered less harm
full than spirits ordinarily used in Eng
land.
On the other hand Freuchmen of all
classes indulge in number of drinks
called appetizers, probably because
they destroy the appetite, which are
nothing less than rank poison, and are
but little known on the other side of
the channel Among these are alb
sinthe, bitters of all kinds, and made
up wines such as the Madeira, at two
pence a glass, which Paris worl<men
take every morning on an empty
stomach. At the public house gin is
little known, but lSirchenwasser takes
its place. The agents of the Paris
Municipal laboratory, an institution
which has rendered great service in de-
tecting authorizations, made raid
on the public houses in the suburbs
OF Asnieres, Levallois, Neuilly and
Nf@Sx, and seized quantities OF
kirchcnwasser which contained any
thing but essence of chcrrystoneS
Most of the samples were found to DO
made up of the vilest bectroot potato,
or methylated spirits, favored with

fifty summonscs have already beer
taken out and notice will be placard-
cd by authority warning the public
against the dangerous poison sold at
most public houses under the name of
kirchenwasser. London News.

According to the Philadelphia Rec
ord, recent experiments made by the
proprietors of distillcry OF that city
have resulted in the production of a
kind of whisky which leaves no sus-

the same effect upon the brain and the
