NEW WAY TO STOP DRINKING.

There lived in Albany man named DOM
hey, who wes habitucl drunkard. It was
lust ali lie could do to make "both enos
meet" in the way OF q livelihood. He made
promise after promise, until his wife and
friends lost confidence in him. He was
pood-hearted, .'hail-fellow-wel-net'' sort oil
a man, whom everybody liked. Returning
home one day he entered the sitting room.
His wife was experimenting the dinner,
while his son, their only child. was playing
on the floor, His wife heard him wnen he
entered, and stepped across the hallway into
the room. She noticed that in his hand he
held an inch auger, and she asked him what
he was going to do with 1t. He deigned no
reply, but in the middle Of the room he bored
a hole through the floor, and then turningto
his wife ne said: "When that hole grows uD

around his neck, and pointing to their son,

pRuNKARDs A NUISANCE.

In recent report Of committee OF the
House of Commons on the treatment OF IN
ebriates list of recommendations was made
for increasing the efficacy of the inebriates
act. The act at present provides for the
committal OF inebriates to retreat at their own
desire, and for their retention when once
committed for not more than one year. The
committee recommends among other things
that the law be so amended as to provide Tor
the compulsory committal Of habitual drunk
ards to reformatory institutions and Tor
doubling the maximum period OF permissible
retention. The committee seems to take the
novel ground that habitual drunkenness Is
not an unfortunate popularity, but Is dis
position Of such inconvenience to society that
society has q right to cure 1t II 1t can.
It would have q habitual .drunkards reia-
lions or friends, or persons interested IN MS
welfare, empowered to apply for his commit
,al, and it would make his property liable for
his maintenance and even for the support OF
his wife and family. The London Times
thinks that these suggestions mark the begin
aing Of q change for the worse in conditions
If inebriety. One thing, It says, may be con-
,idered as proved, namely, that the halcyon
days OF the habitual drunkard are drawing
near to their close. He is no longer looked
upon as nobody's enemy but his own or as
convenient butt for merrymakers who are
tending toward his own condition. People
are beginning to realize that he is curse
and a nuisance, and that II he cannot be
mended he must inevitably before long be
placed in some kind OF permanent secluslon.
intending drunkards on this side OF the
Atlantic will please note the sentiments ofthe
enlightened Britisher toward persons OF this
class, and take (or abstain from) measures
according. There is no vital difference be-
tween the British and the American attitude
toward drunkards, and no assurance that IL
It is found desirable in London to lock them
up, it may not presently prove equally advis-
able in New York.-Harpers Weekly.
