STATISTICS OF THIRST.
What LOndOners Get Away With in
the Shape of Drink.
Chicago Record


There is, at first. something very appalling
in the record of the drink consumed in large
cities. For instance, the statement was lately
put forward at the London Mansion House that
the city of London drank every year 45, 900. 900
gallons of malt liquors, 100000 gallons OF
wine and 100000 gallons of spirits. The an
neuncement startled The public until an Opti-
mistic mathematician brought little arithme
tic 70 bear on the figures and forthwith altered
their significance.
He found that London has population Of
close upon 100000. About 100000 of
these are children, who, for The purpose OF ar
gument. may be classed as taking no alcohol at
IL. Al>o for the purpose of argument, may
be assumed that of The remaining 1000, 900
100000 are total abstalners, leaving the
drinkers of the ely numbered al 100000.
This would give an annual consumption per
head of 221a gallons OF malt liquor, 4 gallons
of wine ana PA gallons of spirits. twenty-five
ana one-half gallons year Is almost exactly
half Il pint day; gallons year would be a
very small winegt SIS daily; PA gallons year
would barely suffice TO ill the smallest liquor
glass 800 times. SO that the inquiring statisti-
clan reached the conclusion that the terrible
drink bill Of London resolved Itself into the
fact that the average LondOner takes one
glass OF beef with his dinner and a very small
glass OF wine after II, and that before lie goes
TO bed be IakeS the mereSt tOOthful OF whisky
or some other spirit as a nightcap.

MANY lNvENTIoNs.-This is the title OF
q collection of short stories by Rudyard
Kiping. They have nearly all been pre-
viously published in magazines or news
papers aud several are familiar to the
reading public. The disciples of klpng
would probably demur if it were sug-
gested that their idol ever wrote anything
bad. The fact remains. however. that
some of these stories are better than
Others. The list of stories inclnde the fol-
lowing: 1.-The Disturber of Traffic. "A
Conference of the Powers" My Lord, the
Elephant" "The Finest Story IN the
World" "A Matter of Fact Love o,
Women" "1he Children OF the Zodiac.
The volume is attractively bound. and the
