BITS AND BREVlTIES.

No PERSON in this land breaks law
with so much impunity as the saloon,
keeper.
WHISKY is great factor of corrup-
ton, physically, morally, socially and
financially.
EIGHT states and territories of the
United States exclusive of California,
contributed samples of wines, produced
within their borders, for competition
at the Chicago far.
WHEN topper is arrested in Bangor,
Me-, he is usually conveyed to the sta
ton in patrol wagon. Should he be
punished with fine fifty cents is added
to the fine to pay for his ride in the
patrol wagon.
GENERAL PRINCE KURoPATKIN re-
Gently issued an order to the official
staff of the Trans-Caspian railway, re-
quiring all officials and employees gull
ty of indulging in Intoxicating drinks
to be reported to him.
mo CIGARETTE that I ever heard of
is free from opium. Beyond question
the boy that smokes cigarettes stunts
his growth, wrecks his nerves and
weakens his heart and kidneys long
before he reaches manhood" This is
the judgment of San Francisco ply
sician.
w. WILKINSON, secretary of the tenn
perance league of Ireland, SAYS he is
convinced that the temperance senti-
ment of that country is rising in every
grade of society, and it is felt that the
liquor traffic is not reputable bust.
ness If the money spent in drink
were spent for ordinary requirements
of life there would not be single able
bodied person necessarily idle in Ire
land.
The general public is entitled to the
maximum of security for property and
person. 1t wants sober conductors, en-
gineers, fremen, brakemen, and switch
tenders. AS rule its wants in this di.
rection are gratified. No railroad com.
pany would care to employ an inebriate
in any one of these positions. But the
tendency is to go further, and to refuse
to employ any drinking man, whether
a drunkard or not. No rational man
will employ drinking coachman. Nc
factory will employ a drinking engi.
neer, supposing the business to be well
managed. Few Twill employ doctor
who is known to drink.

sobriety and knowledge are extended,
morality and Christianity are advanced.
They exist from necessity to meet the
demands and supplies of our common
life
But is there any call for the saloon?
Its work is to tear down, never to build
up. 1t may enrich the individual, but
it surely impoverishes the community.
If it builds a palace it surrounds the
same with novels. 1t deals out what
will preserve dead mans body, but if
drank, it will render live man dead.
The noted DR.. Parker. of New York,
said: alcohol is an irritant poison,
having no place in a healthy system"
For this reason athletes and all in
training for physical endurance desist
from its use. When Weston walked a
thousand miles in a thousand hours,
and Wilson swan the English channel,
and Greedy touched the nearest point
of any explorer to the north pole, they
accomplished these difficult feats with
out any alcohol
Alcohol is a device of man. 1t gushes
not from any spring; it runs not from
the tree; it is not found in the grape,
the beet, rye, corn or barley. 1t is the
outcome of rot. Nature so disposes of
physical putridness as to produce no
harm. From the ruins of autumn she
brings forth the beauties of spring.
But man, through the brewery and
distillery, arrests the course of nature
in certain cases and brings forth a
subtitle poison, which by wrong use be-
comes bane to society and a death
blow to human progress Wherever it
is used as beverage increased police
force is required, jails. prisons, asy-
lums and almshouses are multiplied.
Let the rich use it and they become
poor, and the well-to-do drink it and
they are impoverished. Let the old
guaff it and they are made missr-
able, the young sip it and they fall to
ruin, husbands indulge in it and they
become abusive, and affectionate par
ents partake freely of it and they are
made demons.
All the vices which have cursed the
race the saloon fosters. 1t puts rags
on the back, disease into the body, and
depravity and despair into the heart.
Our churches, schools and savings in
situations are bidding the people.
Come up higher and we will aid lou
on" But the two hundred Thousand
saloons, all the way from the Sunrise
to the Lone Star state, from the Allan
tic to the Pacific ocean, from daylight
to midnight every day in the week and
every week in theyear are commanding
the people: Descend into the depths
and we will corrupt and destroy you. u

perance Advocate.

The Change in Dining Customs.

The hours of dining and the time of
retiring at night have, it would APP
pear, been undergoing constant
change in England as well as in other
countries, in the course of the last few
hundred years. The fashionables of
Edward ". IS court rose with the lark,
dispatched their dinner at IL o'clock
and shortly after were wrapped in
slumber. In the Northum berland
House Book of 1912 it is set forth that
the family rose at in the morning,
breakfasted at Z, dined at 10 and
supped at in the afternoon. The
gates were all shut at 9 and no further
ingress or egress permitted. In 1870 at
the University of Oxford it was usual
to dine at II o'clock and sup at in the
afternoon The dinner hour, which
was once so early as 10 o'clock, has
gradually got later and later, until
now it would be thought the excess of
Tulgarity in the fashionable world to
tit down to table earlier than $3.50
)'clock, while others extend it to or

An Old Time Summer Resort.

Long Branch has been summer re-
sort for one hundred and sixteen years.
A Philadelphia in IT'S engaged sum-
mer boarding for himself and family
at the Col. White house, Long Branch,
upon condition that he provide his own
bedding. He provided not only bed
ding but meat as well, because the
landlady could furnish only fish and
vegetables. The property in question,
including one hundred acres, was sold
in 1890 for seven hundred dollars, and
two thousand dollars having been
spent in improvements regular cum
mer resort was opened. Two years
later the visitors at the place saw the
battle between the English frigate
Boston and the French frigate Ambus.

RUINOUS ASSOCIATIONS.
The Saloon Proves to BE a Bad Place for
Even Monkey.

That alcohol is very demoralizing
even to monkeys was demonstrated on
recent Sunday in Elmira, N. Y. A
circus monkey, which been occupying
winter quarters as side attraction in
an Elmira saloon, managed to unchain
himself during the temporary absence
of the proprietor, and once free he
walked over behind the bar. He
turned on the beer and took long,
deep draught. He sampled the whis-
key, gin, and other liquors;
glanced in the big looking-glass
behind the bar, and seeing as he
supposed another monkey, seized a
decanter and threw it at him, smash
ing the costly glass to atoms He then
assaulted the cigar case and threw the
cigars about the room, and by his wild
screams and antics attracted the atten-
ton of the passers-by and the police.
Finally after a tussle a rope was
thrown around the neck of the drunk
en- monkey, and he was hoisted through
a window and escorted by two police
men, one on each side, to Jail and
lodged in a cell. The communicating
associations of the circus and the
saloon sufficed to bring even the mon
key to disgrace. National Temperance

IN MEDIEVAL TIMES.
Festival Customs and Habits in "Merry
Old England"

Festival Customs and Habits in "Merry
Old England"
Bread, milk, butter and cheese were
the staple articles of food, bread being
the chief. "a domestic was termed a
mans 'hlafoetan,' or loaf-eater. A
lady was a ''hlafdig,' loaf-giver.
Bacon was the principal fesh-food,
and other meats were also sailed.
Hence boiling was the common form
of cooking They even boiled their
geese. The knives of late period re-
sembled modern razors. One in the
Cambridge museum was labeled ga
Roman Razor"
After dinner the cloth was cleared,
hands were washed, as before the meal,
and all commenced drinking. When
King Edwy left the cup for the society
of his newly-made queen, Dunstan
forcibly dragged him back to the guests,
because it was gross disrespect to leave
off early after dinner The cups were
often of precious metals, curiously en-
graved, and of much value, and were
especially left in wills. The Abbey of
Ramsey thus received from the Lady
Ethelgiva two silver cups for the use
of the brethren in the refectory, in
order that while drink is served in
them to the brethren at their repast
my memory may be more firmly i'm
printed on their hearts,
In pledging they always kissed.
Storytelling and singing in the hum
bier gatherings were partaken by
turns. In this way Caedmon, the
Anglo-Saxon Milton, was first made
aware of his poetical powers. Dancing
was expressed by words meaning hop
ping, leaping and tumbling. 1t ap-
pears, therefore, to have been some
what violent exercise The mirth
among the men was often coarse to
obscenity, and scenes occurred in the
halls which may not be described. In
some cases lands were granted to vas
sails on conditions which would de-
grade the toughest London costermon-
ger The ladies modestly retired early
from these orgies, which frequently
ended in quarrels and bloodshed, and
in their bower which was chamber
built separate from the hall, amused
themselves undisturbed by the was
sailers. -
The bower was furnished with a
round table, stools and generally a
bed Chairs were for the great. The
bed was a sack filed with straw and
laid on bench, hence the words bench
and straw were commonly used for
bed. When the bed was to be made,
they took the bed-sack out of the
chest filled it with fresh straw and
laid it on the bench in a recess of the
room, provided with a curtain. Bed
steads were rare and ony used by peo-
pie of rank. -Westminster Review.
