To Abolish the Treating Habit

Out of the Town of Danbury,
Conn, there is to proceed move
ment, propelled by special parlor
car and headed by George Bidwell,
known to fame as the Bank OF Eng
land lorger, which will have for its
object the abolition Of the great
American treating" habit, Bidwell
has invited every saloon keeper in
injury to sign a pledge that he
will refuse to serve drinks to any one
who does not pay for them himself.
The news has not come that there
has been a general and vociferous
response to this invitation.
That the treating habit often is
productive Of intemperance in per-
sons who lack the moral courage to
say no when a convivial friend in
vites them to have something, but
who would not be guilty of over
indulgence if they were left to follow
their own desires in the matter Of
liquid refreshments, is an acknow-
lodged fact Owing to the treating
habit, not only many men take many
drinks for which they do not care,
but also many men pay for many
drinks for which they have not the
slightest desire to pay. But accord
ing to the unwritten code OF the Great
American Order OF Good Fellows, it
is imperative that when one member
OF party of five or six has "bought,"
every other member must "buy."
And if the first one begins the round
anew, it must be again completed
by the others. The moral obligation
to follow this method of procedure
is so strong that few dare to get out
from under it, And thus each spends
more than he can afford or cares to
spend, and drinks more than is good
for him.
1t would be we'll, therefore, for
the general public, though not pro-
ftable for The saloon-keepers, il the
movement to abolish the treating
habit should meet with success, but
it is not likely that it will.-Albany
Express.

The Oocaine Habit.

The cocaine habit seems to have
taken a fem hold Of the quiet people
of Connecticut. A Hartford cor
respondent says that it is even more
common than the tobacco habit.
The victim does not become so
hilarious as the victim of the alcohol
habit, but he feels even worse at the
homestretch. This report Of the
effects Of the indulgence in cocaine
will be read in the light of oldtime
temperance lectures. The public
then we're assured that single
glass of whisky left its mark on the
vital organs. The wonder was how
any one could take drop occasion
ally and continue to enjoy good
health. 1t seems useless to discuss
the question whether or not the
mass of mankind would be better
off if all kinds of stimulants were
denied them. There are constitu-
tions and tempersments which are
better without stimulants. Other
persons, differently constituted and
with less harmonious temperaments,
crave stimulants. 1t cannot be said
that the habits of any people afford
test for comparison. In the United
| States there are abstemious people,
but no abstemious States. In New
England where there were pro-
hibitory laws until it became clear
that such laws do not prohibit, law
only succeeded in making the drink
ing habit more irregular Enforced
abstinence for a few days would be
followed in many cases by excessive
Indulgence.
The cocaine habit is, without
doubt, more injurious than the
whisky habit. The fact that cocaine
can be taken secretly and without
the effect that follows excessive
indulgence in whisky renders it the
more dangerous. Taking all things
into consideration, the conclusion
seems to follow that temperance is
better than intemperance, and that
the safest way to insure the observ-
ance Of the rules OF temperance is to
cultivate the will power Teach
men and women to control them
selves. At best the law can only
take charge Of those who have
abandoned. themselves to self
indulgence.

swinburn on the English Academy.

Here is MT. Swinburnes letter to the posed English academy:
 sir: In this decadent month, after the great sea serpent has usually risen once more to the surface of the press-only, perhaps to be choked in a far more un- seasonable effort to emulate the digestion of other contributors by swallowing the gigantic gooseberry-no sensible man will feel, and no honest man will affect, sur prise at the resurrection of more 'ridicu- lous monster than these. The notion of an English academy is too seriously stupid for farce, and too essentially vulgar for comedy But that a man whose outspoken derision of the academic ideal or idea has stood on record for more than a few years, and given deep offense to nameless if high-minded censors by the frank ex- presson of it's contempt and the unqual- fled vehemence of it's ridicule, should enjoy the unsolicited honor of nomination to a prominent place in so unimaginable a gathering -coluvies literarum it propably would turn out to be, if ever 1t slunk into shape and writhed into existence-well, 1t seems to me that the full and proper defi- milton of so preposterous an impertinence must be left to others than the bearer of the name selected for the adulation of such insult
