measuring over 20 inches, in
length. OF course 20 inches of
beard is nothing when compared
to Kirpen's II feet of facial adorn-
ments. l simply allude to Hen

show that Kitsolna will be laughed
at as beardless youth when he
puts himself on exhibition at Chi

he has made arrangements to that
effect.

Drink Consumption of Large Cities.

Drink Consumption of Large Cities.
There is, at first, something very
appalling in the record of the drink
consumed in large cities. For in
stance, the, statement was lately
put forward at the London Man.
sion house that the city of London
drank every year 100000 gallons
of malt liquor, 100000 gallons of
wine and 100000 gallons of spir-
its. The announcement startled
the public until an optimistic
mathematician brought arithmetic
to bear on the figures, and forth
with altered their significance. He
found that London has a popula-
ton of close upon 100000. About
100000 of these are children, who
for the purpose of argument, may
be clasSed as taking no alcohol at
all. Also for the purpose of argu-
ment it may be assumed that of
the remainder 100000 are total
abstainers, leaving tho drinkers of
the city numbered at 100000
This would give an average annu-
al consumption per head of TWEEN
ty-two and a half gallon of malt
liquor, four gollons of wine::and two
and quarter gallons of spirits.
Twenty-one and one half gal
Ions a year is almost exactly half
a pint a day; four gallons a year
would be a very small wineglass
daily; two and One-quarter gallons
a year would barely suffice to fill
the smallest liquor glass 800 times.
So that the inquiring statistician
reached the conclusion that the
terrible drink bill of London re-
solved itself into the fact that the
average Londoner takes one glass
of beer with his dinner, and a very
small glass of wine after it, and
that before he goes to bed he takes
the merest toOthful of whiskey, or
some other spirit, as nightcap.
