put aside in the savings bank fo2 :,ucn
a time of need as the present, it is not
at all surprising that the crisis which
is now upon us makes unprecedented
demands upon charity, and that the
problem of the unemployed assumes
grave and wcll-nigh appalling proper
tions.
Nor is this drink waste and its de-
plurable consequences peculiar to New
York. The same thing is going on
throughout the nation, wherever the
drinking usages obtain and the saloon
system exists. The retail liquor-deal-
ers who pay revenue tax to the ma
tional treasury number something over
225, 900. Assuming that fully 200, 900 of
them are engaged in the saloon traffic,
and that their average annual
liquor sales amount to 81, 900 each, we
have the enormous total of 81 Zoo, O00,-
900 as an annual national drink waste!
In times of general thrift and prosperi-
ty, with good wages for the many
drinking wor1ingmen, even this great
burden and drain has been borne with
minimum of absolute distress and
want. Butnow that general paralysis
has come over the business interests of
the whole country, with mills and fac
tories running on reduced time or
closed altogether, and the daily or
weekly incomes of millions are thus
greatly lessened or wholly cut off, the
economic view of abstinence has sig
nifcance which it is the extreme of fol-
ly longer to undervalue or ignore. And
yet, despite all the prevalent anxiety
and want, the great brewers,
through their official organ, are
able to congratulate each other upon
the really lamentab BILE fact that the re-
turns for the first quarter of the cur
rent fiscal year of the internal revenue
department show an actual increase
from beer of over SAT 1000, in excess of
the same period of year ago!
Upon economic grounds alone, there
fore, the need of a total abstinence re-
vival is most urgent. The money
hitherto spent for beer and whisky is
wanted now for bread fuel and cloth
ing. To continue this avoidable waste
is to perpetuate and intensity the prev
alent distress and want. While due
provision must be made for relief and
present allevia ton, it is of the utmost
Importance that the permanent remedy
of abstinence be widely and effectively

The Ingoldsby Legends

Barham is not much less good in
prose than in verse, and he manages
his alterations of grave and gay in
verse itself with a skill almost equal
to, though less delicate than that of
Praed, who probably gave him some
lessons. His beautiful last lines "As
Lay A-Thinking" do not require the
not very authentic antiquity of their
spelling to give them charm. He had
scholarship, which, when it does not
prevent man from writing, is seldom
without effect on the quality of what
he writes; he had the wide vague read
ing which scholarship nowadays too
often excludes; he had good humor,
good feeling, good breeding, an i'm
mense amount of fun, and an mex
haustible fund of rhymes and rhy
just suited for his purpose. -Macmil-
lan'S Magazine.

MAN ALONE RESPONSIBLE.
The Making of Whisky Not Attributable
to God.

The Making of " Risky Not Attributable
to God.
A declaration r,ade in one of the pull
pits of New York city recently that
God made liquor, and designed it for
the use of man, is commented upon by
the New York Sun as follows: God no
more made liquor than He made a
faro table, or a resort of debauchery.
He no more made it than He made the
tools of the burglar or the vile inven-
tions which Comstock seizes. He made
it only in the same sense as He made
the dynamite bombs of the anarchist
thugs. Wheat and corn and rye are
wholly useful and wholesome food as
nature yields them, but by the
devices of man strong drink is
produced from them, and it plays
the mischief with men if they
take too much of it, as many OF them
do if they drink it at all Instead,
-refore, of putting the responsibility
1innar or God we advise the clergy
to 'ay the whohe blame for it on men,
as dangerous l,-,v,,rv which God COM
pels them neither to produ>~o nor tn
consume any more than He compels
them to do anything else. Moreover,
it is questionable whether the influ-
ence of the clergy in preventing the
abuse of liquor would not be strength
ened greatly if they refrained wholly
from its use themselves. Besides, be-
ing usually emotional men of sedentary
habits, they are better off without
such a stimulant. The habit of drink
ing. dangerous for everybody, is espe-
cially dangerous for them in their own
persons and in the example they set
for other people"

THE ECONOMY OF ABSTINENCE.
a Strong Argument for National Temper
ance ReViXalS.

ance Revivals.
The claims of abstinence for accept
lance ard adoption by everybody are
many and varied. The one considera-
ton that alcohol, in however small
quantities, is an irritant poison and in
furious to the healthy human system
would seem to be itself conclusive, and
that further argument would be quite
superfihous. If confirmation is needed
it may easily be found in the economic
view of the subject. Assuming that it
has been esta blished beyond successful
controversy by scientific investigation
that alcohol has no food value, and that
it is inevitably harmful in health in
proportion to the quantity consumed,
it follows, as a matter of course, that
every dime Or dollar expended by
anyone for alcoholic beverages is not
only wasted, but worse than wasted.
Money thus paid out has been given
not only for that which is not bread,
but for that which represents more
serious injury than the stone. The
present is pre-eminently a time when
this important lesson should be every
where emphasized.
In New York city alone, estimating
the annual liquor sales of its upward
of 5000 saloons at but $1,000 each, the
aggregate drink waste would exceed
$40, 900, 900 year. That this large sum
is far below the actual liquor expendi-
ture of the metropolis there is nc
doubt. With the unusually large mum
Der of people out of employment, and
their incomes cut off, their small
surplus, many of them, having been
expended for drink, instead OF being
