VARIOUS NOTES.

EVERY drunkard used to boast that
he could drink or let it alone.
HE who visits the saloon and "gets
tight" will find that money is tight
when he goes to the bank.
The city of London drinks every year
As, 900, 900 gallons of malt liquor, s,OOo,-
900 gallons of wine and 1 500, 900 gallons
of spirits.
THE difference between the drunkard
lost and the drunkard saved is this:
the former asks to be trusted, and re-
ceives no trust, while the latter is
trusted and is asked to trust.-Thomas
Addison.
In one place in Africa one missionary
and so, 900 barrels of whisky were land
ed at the same time. From January l,
1890, to January 1, 1891, there were
LOIS, sol gallons of rum shipped from
Boston to Africa. In 1891 the trade
was almost doubled.
DRUNKENNESS is more frequent in
cold than in warm countries, and is
more brutal and injurious in it's effects
as we go north. Yet this is not always
true for within the last ten years alco-
holism has greatly decreased in Swee-
den, and increased in southern France
and northern Italy. In tropical regions
it is at present spreading fast, and with
great injury.
LORD CHIEF JUSTICE HALE was per-
haps the first to call attention to ine-
briefly as q cause of crime, requiring
special study and attention. In 1870 he
is reported as saying: "If the murders
and manslaughters, the burglaries and
robberies, the riots and tumults, and
other enormities committed during the
last twenty years, were divided into
five parts, four of them would be found
to have been the issue and product of
drinking"
DIR. CARPENTER, writing On "Alco-
hol," makes the following remarks:
81 take this position, that the Creator,
in constructing the human body, made
1t perfect, if man will only give it fair
play; that every function in the human
body is contrived and arranged by
wise Creator SO as to act; and that if a
man will only act in accordance with
the purpose of the human body, that
body shall be preserved in health and
vigor to old age. See then, what alco-
hol does. Alcohol is foreign to the
body. 1t is something which has no
relation to the ordinary food of man.
and which the body tries to get rid of
as soon as it can. but it can not be got
rid of fast enough"

We regard the failure to rec
ommend that personal incomes be
taxed, as cowardly piece OF
demagogueism. 1t is another
weakening before the money pow
er. No fairer tax could be levied,
and none that would bring so much
revenue from a class that ought
to pay it, and that would feel it
so little. The farmers, the poor
professional men, the manufact-
urers, the traders and the labor
ers, are already taxed heavily
enough, and the refusal to tax
those who receive incomes, such
as only the rich receive, is very
serious mistake.-Vicksburg Her

Fortune or Brandy.

Among the anecdotes published in
connection with the recent death of
Edwin Booth, the noted actor, it is
mentioned that when he made his first
decided success in Boston, more than
thirty years ago, Warren, of the Bos-
ton museum, then a veteran upon the
stage, said to him: edwin, remem-
ber now, with you it is either fame and
fortune or bottle of brandy. The
choice rests with yourself" Alas, how
many young men of rare promise, on
and off the stage, have thrown away
fame and fortune for the bottle OF
