FACTS AND FINDINGS.

WHILE the saloon door is open every
home is in danger.-Ram's Horn.
DRINKING under any circumstance is
a useless and dangerous luXury.-Na-
tional Temperance Advocate.
WILLIAM E. GLADSTONE recently re-
marked that he was proud of the fact
that he had never been addicted to to-
bacco, wine or any other stimulant.
AN eX-hangman, who has sent over
500 criminals out of the world, says
that not one of these was a teetotaler.
There's expert testimony for YOU
Golden Rule.
president FAURE and Alphorse
Daudet are among the notable French
men who have lately become teetotalers.
They declare that drinking is incom-
patible with the hard work which
brings success.
A NEW CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS
nabitual drunkard who recently under
went a surgical operation in London
hospital finds that since his recovery
he has lost his appetite for alcoholic
drinks. Chloroform and ether were
used for the anesthesia.
DRUNKENNESS is not only the cause
of crime, it is crime, and the encour-
agement of drunkenness for the sake of
profit on the sale of drink is certain
ly one of the most criminal methods of
assassination for money ever adopted
by the bravoes of any age or country

and drink cocktails even when unac-
companied by men.
The latest phase of the increase of in
toXicants among women is found in the
fashionable candy establishments.
where under various names, small
quantities of Intoxicating liquors are
mixed for the accommodation of Il
constantly charging demand.
American physicians are largely re.
sponsible for the increased use of all
kinds of liquor among American wom-
en-. They prescribe stimulants in Il
large number of cases of invalidism
among women, with the inevitable re-
suit that, whether salutary or not for
the sick, the habit grows among the
healthful. 1t is not long step from
hops to corn, from the brew to the
still.
1t would surely be a melancholy phe-
nomenon of the closing decade of the
century if intemperance, declining
among intelligent American men,
should have made substantial and gen
eral advance among intelligent Ameri-
can women.
1t might be worth while for the fed
eral and city authorities to inquire into
the legal liability of liquor decocting
candy shops to pay the proper license
fee.-Chicago Times-Herald.

Had to Take Whisky Like Soup.

Paderewski told the story of an effec.
tive cure for intemperance the other
day. Some years ago." he said, Il was
with an officer of the Russian army.
This officer had in his command an Off
Ger of great ability who was addicted
to strong drink. II was arranged that
the man should take dinner along with
us that day. Instead of soup, the first
course served to him was brandy, which
he must swallow a spoonful at time,
just as he would have swallowed soup.
After the first spoonful he was so sick
that he implored to be spared. Under
cover of a revolver the officer command
ed him to swallow every spoonful in the
plat. The officer never drank drop of
liquor after that"

TOWN HISTORIES IN DEMAND.


10 know what kind of books are
most called for at the Congressional
library would probably surprise 90 per
cent. of the novel-reading public
throughout the United States The
demand is not for general historical or
scientific works, nor for Iomances and
dramatic literature, but Just for simple
town histories" Under this rubric
is comprehended those works which
describe the historical events of the
foundation and development of general
municipalities. And the most remark
able thing in connection with the con-
stantly growing popularity OF town
histories is the fact that the demand
comes chiefly from women.
One of the attaches of the Congress.
sional library recently asserted within
the hearing of reporter that the de-
mand for these municinaI reoord. l..
Noiiieh was assuming enormous pro-
portions. Pi'
history exercise in modern American
womankind?" was asked of the libra
rian,
For some time l was puzzled about
it myself" said the librarian, but h,
is no longer a secret. The craze of most
women to join the Daughters of the
American Revolution and the Colonial
Danes IS responsible for it. If you
have any female relatives who might
have a suspicion that they came of his
toric stock, just tell them what a great
army of their fair sisters are doing,
get the earliest history of the town
in which their ancestors lived. find
some family name there, and make out
prima facie case of their eligibility
to membership in the Daughters or
Danes, by tracing connection with
the same name on the roster of the
revolutionary army. That is being
done continually, and accounts for the
popularity of the old town histories"

TOBACCO SMOKING IN TURKEY.
Less Nicotine in the Weed Used in That
Country Than in That Used Elsewhere.

Less Nicotine in the Weed Used in That
Country Than in That Used Elsewhere.
The Turk of to-day is noted for the
prodigious quantity of tobacco which
he consumes. Fortunately, however,
the tobacco commonly used in Turkey
contains a much smaller proportion of
nicotine than the product of Old Vir-
ginia, so that the almost universal prac-
tIce of the vice in Turkey does not al
together aounteract by its baneful influ-,
ence the wholesome effect of a simple
dietary and the absence of alcoholic
liquors.
Instead of leading the world as a
connOisseur of tobacco, the Turk of a
fewcenturiesa ago was violent opponent
of the introduction of this pernicious
drug. The first smokers in Turkey were
subject to the most severe puniShments.
The sultan. Asman-le-Juene prohibited
its use. Tobacco users in Turkey not
being able to indulge in the weed,
through smoking, some of those who had
acquired a taste for it devised the
method of taking it through the nose in
the form of fine powder under the
name of bouroun oti, which, translated,
signifies herb of the nose" Smokers
were even threatened with death.
logged and otherwise punished most
severely for using the weed, the only
effect of which seemed to be to stimulate
the appetite for the forbidden herb. At
the present time there is no restriction
upon the practice in Turkey, and many
Turks smoke almost constantly. DIR.

serts that the Tiriaki smoke every min.

lighting their chibouks Immediately on

come Popular.
Current additions to contemporary
slang find their way into popularity by
odd means. An expression once made
and often repeated gets finally sort
of vogue, especially if it seems peculiar.
The grammatical genesis of johnny
on the spot" cannot be traced very
clearly, but the phrase certainly origin
ated from the longer and less expressive
one, Johnny is always on the spot
when wanted" A Johnny on the
spot" is man or youth who may be
relied upon to be at certain stated
place when wanted, and on whose as
sured appearance confident eXpecta-
ton may be based 1t is not sufficient
that an alert and trustworthy indi-
vidual, to be thought deserving of the
name johnny on the spot" should
restrict his beneficeut activity to the
matter of being at a certain place when
needed. He must, in addition, render
such service and attend to such bust
less when there as the occasion may
require, and such Johnny" must be
be on the spot not merely to attend to
the business of others, but also to look
after his own. Hence an individual
who is prompt and farseeing, alive to
his own interests, and keenly sensible
of means for promoting his own adj
vantage, is johnny on the spot The
expression is, TO some extent, varia-
ton or rather a continuation of that
other phrase "he gets there"
The expression, Johnny on the spot"
has come into popularity very suddenly.

NOT WINE DRINKERS,
Americans, However, Make Up on Beer
and Whisky.

While it was obviously not so in
tended, there is encouragement to be
derived from an interview with the man
ager of the California Wine association,
recently published IN the daily press:
The American people, it is said, are not
wine drinkers, and you can't make them
so. thought this was allfudge, but now
l know it to be fact. Even here in
California, where wine is produced. the
consumption is not large, and it is use
less preaching wine drinking to them.
When men meet you with the statement
that it does not agree with them, that it
makes them bilious, there is no posi-
blereply. nfact, the American stomach
does not appear to be educated up to
the point of using it as a daily beverage.
AS consequence, we have to depend
for the sale of our wines on the poorer
classes of the people of New Orleans
and New York and its vicinity. By that
| mean Italians, French and people of
other Latin nationaIities." Coming
from such a source, these statements
are full of significance. Aside from
those who look upon the matter from
cold business" standpoint, there are
not many who will deplore the fact that
the American people do not take kindly
to wine drinking. 1t is pity that as
much cannot be said of the business Of
making beer and whisky. The country
could well endure steady decline in all
these branches of industry. It is GER
tain that their decline would be at
tended with corresponding upgrade

According to a high authority in mem
tai diseases, two potent causes of insan-
ity are hereditary transmission and al
coholic intemperance. No less than
one-hah of all occurring cases Of
insanity are due to drink. 1t appears
from the latest returns of pauperism
that the Amber of insane paupers has
greatly Increased. Thus, in 1853, the
number OF insane Paupers in England
and Wales WIS under 81 900, but in 1898
the number had risen to nearly 3d..

TEMPERANCE.
WOMEN AND INTOxICANTs.
Alarming Increase In the Use of the Lat

La
ter by the Former
1t has been recently observed that
drunkenness has universally declined
in the United States among men in the
professions, the higher classes of arti-
sanship and trades, and in commerce
is 1t not true, on the other hand. that
me use of intoXicants has increased
among American women?
a few years ago the sight of a re-
spectacle woman drinking an intoxi-
cant at the public table of an America,
hotel was unknown. To-day it is So
common as almost to have ceased caus-
ing surprise. At almost any first-class
restaurant women, apparently rational
and refined, take the cocktail, which
few years ago they knew nothing
about, with as little embarrassment as
their men companions; nor is it as rare
as 1T should be that women will order
