WINE At THE TABLE.
Custom That In Losing Its Hold Upon
: tho peODle. -.

Custom That IL Losing Its Hold Upon
Z the People.
It is an undoubted fact that the
serving of many and heavy wines at
large dinners is gradually becoming q
thing of the past. :. OF course, do not
mean that wines are no longer served.
for they are, and will continue to be,
SO long as civilized men consider them
feature of dinners But I do mean
that of the varieties of wine there are
fewer, the quantities less, and of the
qualities lighter than was the custom
ten years ago. /
To illustrate the two former facts,
let me say. that were preparing for a
large dinner for men-which is always
from the nature of things more heavily
wined than an ordinary mixed dinner
Il should not think it in the least de-
gree necessary to order anything like
the same amount or sortmente of
wines that would have been imperative
. few years ago. And in extenuation
of the statement that the qualities of
the wines served are becoming lighter,
the simple fact that at the average
English dinner. table port wine has
been almost entirely superseded F BY
sclaret may be cited It's also becom-
ing : very. ordinary thing at English
dinners to meet prominent men who
do not drink wines of any kind, and In
our own country this is also becoming
more and more a%fact. .,, 1.
Of course, q dinner must have fluids:

with which I'd srelish chem, and D. din

material without them. Hut Tthink4it
Is no longer imperative to serve wines,
or ut least we can serve with them
some other beverage which will be Of

heavy q combination for their comfort.

They Died Sober.

Apropos of Gen. Cutcheon's remarks
on social drinking in Washington, the
general was led to tell the story of an
army experience of his with whisky.
It was in the trenches before Peters
burg, AS colonel of the regiment he
had prohibited the sale, of liquor save
on a doctors order, and in that case
prohibition prohibited. The division
commander, however, issued orders
that a ration of whisky should be
served to each man In the trenches,
and the liquor for the Goth Michigan
was brought in two great iron kettles
As the men clustered around with their
tin cups, some one cried out: Boys,
if I'm going to be shot to-day, l want
to die sober!'' The cry was taken up
by the regiment The kettles weGe
seizcd.by willing,handsa and the whisky
was poured on: the ground: 4 Fifty-two
out of one hundred, and ten of the
brave Michigan boys of the Goth vera
shot that day, and everyone who died
died sober. Detroit Tribune.

BITS AND BREVlTlES.

No SOCIAL club ought ever to have a
bar for the sale of Intoxicating liquors,
even to its own members. The thing
is curse and evil everywhere, and
ought everywhere to be interdicted by
law.-Cnion Signal.
In the Hawaiian islands there are
about fifty native temperance societies,
with z membership of over two thou
sand. Their pledge includes opium and
ava as well as alcohol. Ava is an in
toxicant manufactured by the natives,
and said to be more disastrous in it's
effects upon the human system than
even the imported liquors.
The supreme court of Maryland, in
recent decision, holds that the:liquor
law of that state applies to the dispens.
ing of drinks in a social club room as
really and fully as it does to an ordi-
nary saloon, and hence that clubs must
conform to the requirements and re-
strictions of the law, or take the con.
sequences in the way of penalty.
IMAvE always heard that the saloons
could not be kept it it was not for the
boys, and when boys get to going into
the saloon they neglect their studies
and learn to drink. gamble, chew to.
bacco and use very wicked language.
Then they get to fighting and some
times commit murder. My idea of a
saloon is that it is a very wicked place,
filed with terror, and crimes come
from them. Their keepers grow rich
with poor mems money, and the little
children who have drunken fathers
have to go partly clothed and nearly
starved. and this is why I hate the sa-
loon.-Minnie e. Danfortb.
Mr. w. S. GAME, NJ. p, of England,
has returned from. his tour through
India impressed with tile temperance
zeal that is .afiame throughout the
southern part Of that country. A pow
erful propaganda of total abstinence
principles has been set on foot, the
chief apostle" being Hindu ascetic
who has exchanged religious contem-
plation for the. more useful work, and
promises in his way to be as successful
in effecting conversions to temperance
as Navier was in promoting Chris
tianity in India In all directions
guilds and castles are exacting the total
abstinence pledge from their mem bers.
The movement has brought together
adherents of opposing religions, and
every thing proves the remarkable prog
ress already made.

Our liquor friends, and possibly some
CHRISTIAN brethren not favorable to tho
liquor traffic, will be interested in
knowing that the rum trade between
the United States and Africa is in q
most fourishing condition. The latest
returns show that the amount of rum
exported from this country during the
year ending June 80 was 1,o25, 226 gal
lons-almost twice as much as the pre-
ious year. And s0s, 737 gallons, nearly
four-tifths of the whole, was sent from
the port of Boston, being an increase
of the shipments from that city of 251,-
06o gallons. And when we look at the
possibilities and proba bilities of the
future it is easy. to see the time is
coming when the 1000, QUO gallons will
become 100000 barrels, and all be-
cause two countries-one of them the
United States-would not assent to the
international prohibition of the rum
traffic in Africa! But there are other
figures all con cealed to the world, but
known to One. Which shall tell of the
soul ruin, the murders, the poverty,
the besotted misery the restitution
and starvation caused by these fearful
shipments of rum. 1t is another story,
and what q sickening, what an awful
one! Certain it is that human slavery
is far preferable to the slavery of the
rum appetite; yet the United States, a
confessedly Christian people, have
abolished the one only to assist in i'm
posing the other! There is a day of
reckoning coming, and this country
will have to pay for its share in pro-
noting the awful sin of the African
liquor traffic -Christian at Work.
