NOTES BY THE WAY.

A PRISON chaplain very tersely said:
Crime is simply condensed alcohol"
SIR ANDREW CLARK, the general ply
stefan in the largest hospital in Lon
don, says that seven out of every ten
persons treated there owe their i'll
health to drink.
MULTIPLY fifteen dollars per day by
two hundred and fifty thousand, the
number of saloons, that result by three
hundred and sixty-fve days and the
final result represents the drink bill
for the United States.
The new commander-in-chief in In
dia, Sir George White, has warmly in
dorsed the Army Temperance associa-
ton and spoken strong words to it in
favor of total abstinence, reminding it
that nearly all crime in the service
may traced to drink.
FIELD MARSHAL LORD NAPIER says
son reviewing the records of soldiers
offenses all practically have their orr
gin in drunkenness. OF one thousand
and eight hundred men under my com
Inand in India the total abstainers had
no crimes. The temperate men had
practically none The whole body of
crime was among the non-abstainers. "
A BILLION of dollars is what the
liquor traffic costs this country
every year. 1t takes by far the largest
part of it out of the pockets of the la
boring class and gives them nothing of
value in return. The greatest foe of
the poor man is the drink. 1t is the
greatest monopoly in the land

die aged, and they will admit that il
twenty or thirty years ago paralysis
slew its thousands, it now Stays its tens
of thousands. They all admit that in
society there is no distinct moral relax
alton; that in the presence OF men mar
ried women are more daring and recl-
less and maidens more unabashed, and
that the tendency of that society which
calls itself good" is to the particular
license resulting from overstimulation
from alcohicol drinks.
Other fashionable faults may be con-
doned, may admit of pallation, may be
thrown off by an exercise of will, OF
dropped because they have become un.
fashionable, but the increase of. draw
lng-room drinking attacks society in
its most vital part. Women are the
salt of the world, but if the salt loses
its SAVIOR, what then? VIII not the de-
composition of the world follow? Men
may drink with far greater impunity
than women, both personally and So
cially. Personally they have more
will power to resist the domination of
alcohol and socially their influence
and examples as slaves to it is far less
disintegrating. 1t is a great truth that
vice in a woman is more of crime than
the same vice in man. For in social
manners and customs conduct is more
than law, and women are the auto
Gratis of conduct and custom. If, then,
women should ever make certain vices
tolerable there would be no barrier
left against them, and the influx of
many secondary passions would be nat
ural and certain. A drinking woman
is social criminal of the worst type,
and the idea is so shocking that it re-
quires an effort of the will to contem-
plate her.-Amelia E. Barr in N. Y.
Herald.

DRINK AMONG THE ANclENTs.
Penalties Imposed Upon Drunkards of All
Glasses.


The offense of drunkenness was
source of great perplexity to the an
clients, who tried every possible way of
dealing with it. If none succeeded,
probably it was because they did not
begin early enough, by intercepting
some of the ways and means by which
the insidious vice is melted and propa-
gated. Severe treatment was often
tried to little effect. The Locrians,
under Zalencus, made it capital Of
Tense to drink wine, if it was not mixed
with water; even an invalid was not
exempt from punishment, unless by
order of physician. Pittacus. of Myth
lene. made law that he who, when
drunk, committed any offense should
suffer double the punishment which he
would if sober; and Plato, Aristotle
and Plutarch applauded this as the
height OF wisdom. The Roman censors
could expel a senator for being drunk
and take away his horse. Mahomet
ordered drunkards to be bastinadoed
with eighty blows. Other nations
thought of limiting the quantity to be
drunk at one time, or at one sitting.
The Egyptians put some limit, though
what it was is not stated. The Spar
tans also had some limit. Arabians
fixed the quantity at twelve glasses
man; but the size of the glass was, I'M
fortunately, not clearly defined by the
historian. The Anglo-Saxons went no
further than to order silver nails to be
fixed on the side of drinking cups, so
that each might know his proper
measure. And it is said that this was
done by King Edgar after noticing the
drunken habits of the Danes. Lycur-
gus of Thrace, went to the root Of the
matter by ordering the vines to be cut
down. And his conduct was initiated
in 704 by Turbulus of Bulgaria. The
Suevi prohibited wine to be imported.
The Spartans tried to turn the vice in
to contempt by Systematically making
their slaves drunk once q year, to
show their children how foolish and
contemplate men looked in that state.
Drunkenness was deemed much more
vicious in some classes of persons than
in others. The ancient Indians held
it lawful to kill king when he was
drunk. The Athenians made it
a capital offense for magistrate to be
drunk, and Charlemagne initiated this
by a law that judges on the bench and
pleaders should do their business fast
ing. The Carthaginians prohibited
magistrates, governors, soldiers and
servants from drinking. The Scots, in
the second century, made it capital
offcnse for magistrates to be drunk,
and Constantine IL of Scotland, sol,
extended a punishment to young peo-
pie Again, some laws have absolute
ly prohibited wine from being drunk
by woman; the Massilians SO decreed.
The Romans had the same, and extend
ed the prohibition to young men under
thirty or fortyfve, and the husband
and wife's relation could scourge the
wife for offending. and the husband
himself might scourge her to Death

Improving a BuIrarian Town.

No European town has been more
conspicuously improved in recent years
than Sofa, the capital of Bulgaria A
series of splendid boulevards has been

streets and Turkish houses, one en-
circling the city, while others run
across it in various directions; and a
still more spacious avenue, 1917 feet
wide, and set with six rows OF trees.
leads from the center of the town to
the railway station, while another,
called the boulevard Stambuloff, runs
from the same point to the new park.
This park is very large and is said TO
be well planted. A great public gar
den has also been formed in the middle
of the town, with smaller gardens at
various points, and a nursery, covering
hundred acres, has been esta blished
in the suburbs, where plants will be
grown for the public grounds and will
also be sold to private purchasers

have had no opportunity of testing
the swimming powers of the anthro-
poids, and have not been able so far to
get any direct evidence on the point;
but there is strong presumption that
the more bulky ones, such as the orang
and gorilla, which adopt a semi-erect
attitude in walking, are as helpless in
the water as man is. Some of the Cyno-
cephali are expert swimmers, and Mr..
C. Bartlett informs me that chacma
baboon at the geological gardens would
dive into the seal pond and pick up OBJ
iects from the bottom. These balloons,
however, dwell far away from the for
ests, and have lived non-arboreal life
long enough to have acquired typi-
cally quadrupedal mode of progression.
A chacma, when climbing, advances
both hands together and follows them
up with both feet, SO that the animal
practically gallops upward. A mans
gait when mounting a ladder is much
more that of a true arboreal animal
than baboon's. Some of the slim
Cebidn, swim to islands in the river,
and Mr.. Bartlett has seen them in the
act of crossing. Mr.. Alfred Russell
Wallace, however, informs me that
they seldom or never cross the larger
streams, as is proved by the fact that
these often form the boundaries be-
tween the territories of allied species.
Most Of the new world apes are great
adopts at running on all fours and
their long limbs and light bodies would
aid them in floating, from the extent
of surface being great in proportion to
thu bulk have also been informed
of numerous cases in which monkeys
of the Macaque order aave proved
themselves able to swim, but apparent
ly few instances are recorded of their
entering the water voluntarily. 1t is
noteworthy that, as far as my inform
ants have observed, all these apes, with
the exception of the balloons, lifted
the arms alternately above water and
kept their bodies ma semi-vertical po-
sition when they swan, and, in fact,
acted as if they were endeavoring to
climb upward. Nineteenth Century.

Even in Connecticut was the skill of
the knickerbockers admired. A new
invention or improvement was said to
''beat the Dutch" The Delft tiles on
the hearth, the crockery on the dresser,
the blue tiles lining the front of the
freplaces in the best houses, show how
the Dutch had part in the evolution
of the New England house. Hundreds
of open fireplaces in New England were
decorated with these tiles after the
Dutch fashion, and contained not only

Biblical illustration. From the evil

hot drinks which drove out the beer

from Holland, though not on the May
flower, as so often anachronistically
alleged. When, too, the open fireplace
gradually gave way to supposed inn
provement it was to a Dutch thing
with Dutch name-the stove. Not
only in Plymouth, but elsewhere,
numerous houses had what can
be occasionally seen throughout New
England to-day (nor by this do

THE MISSOURI RIVER GOING.
Reports of Engineers Showing That This

Reports of Engineers Showing That This
Great Stream is Sinking Out of Sight.
The recent survey of the Missouri
river under the direction of the United
States geographical engineering de-
partment resulted in discovery that
the stream is undergoing a peculiar
transformation. During the survey
measurements were made of the vol
ume of water passing between the
banks at various points from Great
Falls, Mont, to Sioux City. 1t was
found that the volume at Great Falls
measured 4796 cubic feet per second,
while at Fort Benton, twenty five miles
further down the river, the volume was
but 1881 cubic feet, decrease of 455
cubic feet. Owing to the large number
of tributaries emptying into the river
between Fort Benton and Sioux City
gradual increase was noted, until at
the latter point, where the final meas
urement was taken, a flow OF 14,776
cubic feet per second was reached. In
the opinion of some of the engineers
engaged in the survey the decrease in
the volume between Great Falls and
Fort Benton explains the presence of
that great subterranean body of water
known as the South Dakota artesian
basin. The discrepancy can only ba
accounted for by the presence of an
outlet in the bed of the river some
where between the points mentioned.
Directly below the upper cataract on
the south bank of the river, about half
way between the towns, is a large
pool, in which, if frequent visitors to
the place can be believed, are to be
found eyeless fish of the species said to
inhahit subterranean water courses.
In all probability the outlet ii one ex.
lists, is located at this point, the al
legged presence of these fish tending to
corroborate the theory. From here il
this surnise is correct, it would appear
that an underground channel running
in southeasterly direction carries the
water into a basin underlying a large
area of South Dakota, thus forming d
huge subterranean lake, which has re-
Gently been tapped by the numerous
artesian wells. Another queer discov-
cry is noted in connection with the
survey just completed. In 1878 observa-
tions were taken in a similar manner,
and, unless errors in calculation have
been made, since that year there has
been decrease of fully 20 per cent in
the volume of water in the river. If
no error has been made and the ratio
of decrease continues, before fifty years
have passed the once majestic Missouri
will have dwindled into an insignif-
cant rivulet. Sioux City Journal.
