BEER IS SUPPLANTING WITS
KEY.
As a Nation We Are Using Less
Strong Stimulants.

The internal revenue receipts
of the United States Govern
ment for the last fiscal year show
all increase of about I per cent.
in the income from the tax on
spirits, whereas the revenue
raised by the tax on malt and
other fermented liquors increased
no less than 6 per cent. The
rates of taxation were not chang
ed, so that the increase in re-
cejpts corresponds with the ex>
pansion Of the market for the
liquors taxed.
These figures seem to prove
that the consumption of spirits
is not increasing in the United
States as fast as the population.
1t is evident that the rate OF
growth in the last fiscal year
was not much more than half as
much as the rate Of gain in the
mum Der of inhabitants.
On the other hand, the reve-
nue. from the tax Oh beer and
similar liquors indicates that
the use of such alcoholic bever>
ages is fast outrulning the in
crease of the population. 1t IS
not probable that the,number of
inhabitants of the United States
is growing at the rate Of mole
than 2 per cent. a year, and if
that is SO, the consumption of
beer showed an increase last
year about three times as great,
in proportion, as the growth OF
the country.
This means that We are be-
coming more like the continen>
tai countries of Europe, as a ma
ton, in the use of stimulants,
and there ought to be much less
drunkenness in proportion to
The number Of drinkers than
there used to be when whiskey
used to be the great American
tipple.

He was silent for a moment
and then said: at will be IN

in the event of his death, to re-
turn 70 her fathers house, and
added: you have kind and
good father but there is no one
so kind and good as your HseV-
emily Father"
He still expressed a hope that
he would recover, but requested
his wife, in case he should die,
to have him buried in LeXlng-
ton, in the Valley of Virginia.
Ills exhaustion increased SO rap>
idly that at o'clock Mrs. Jacks
son knelt by his bed and told
him that before the sun went
down he would be with his
Saviour.
He replied: 90, no! You are
frightened, my child. Death is
not SO near. may yet get well. y
She fell upon the bed Weep>
ing bitterly, and again told him,
amid her tears and sobs, that the
physicians declared that there
was no longer any hope for his
recovery.
After moments pause he
asked her to call the family ply
stefan.
Doctor" he said, as the ply
sician entered the room, "Annle
Informed me that you told her
l am to die to,day, Is it SOP"
When he was answered i'll the
affirmative, he turned his sunken
eyes toward the ceiling and gazed
for a moment or two as if in in>
tense thought, then looked at
the friends about his bed and
said softly:
VERY good, very good it is
all right"
Then turning to his heat
broken wife, he tried to comfort
her. He told her that there was
much he desired to tell her, but
that he was too weak for the
undertaking.
Col. Pendleton, one of the
officers Of his staff, came into
the room about I o'clock. Gen.
Jackson asked him:
"Who is preaching at the
headquarters to-day"
When told i'll reply that the
whole army was praying for
him. he replied:
"Thank God! They are very
kind Then he added: at is
the Lords day; my wish is full
filled. have always desired to
die on Sunday"
Slowly his mind began to fail
and wander, and he frequently
talked in his delirium as if in
command Of his army on the
field of battle, He would give
orders to his aides in the old
way, and then the scene changed.
He was at the table in con-
versasion with members Of his
staff; now with his wife and
child; now at prayers with his
family. Occasional intervals of
a return of his mind would APP
pear, and during one of them
the physician offered the dying
man some brandy and water,
but he declined it, saying:
1T would only delay my de
parture and do no good; l want
to preserve my mind to the last,
if possible"
A few moments before the end
arrived the dying warrior cried
out in his delirium;
"Order A. P. Hill to prepare
for action! pass the infantry
to the front Iapldly!" Tell
Major Hawkes., Then his
voice was silent, and the SEM
tence remained unfinished.
An instant later a smile of
ineffab1e sweetness and purity
spread itself over his calm, pale
face, and then looking upward,
and slightly raising his hands,
he said quietly, and with an ex-
preston of relief:
"Let us cross over the river
aud rest under the shade of the
trees"

Sweet Minded Women.

So great is the influence of a
sweet-minded woman on those
around her that it is almost
boundless. 1t is to her that
friends come in seasons of sick
ness and sorrow for help and
comfort. One soothing touch
of her kindly hands works won
ders i'll the feverish child; a few
words let fall from her lips in
the ear of a sorroWing sister do
much to raise the load OF grief
that is bowling its victim down
to the dust in anguish. The
husband comes home worn out
with the pressure of business
and feeling irritable with the
world i'll general, but when he
enters the coy sitting-room and
sees the blaze of the bright fire
and meets his wife's smiling
face he succunbs III a moment
to the soothing influences, which
act as the balm Of Gilead to his
wounded spirit. We are all
worried with combating the re-
alities of lite. The rough school
boy flies in rage from the
taunts of his companion to find
solace in the mothers smile; the
little one, full of grief with its
own large trouble, finds a heaven
of rest on its mothers breast;
and So one may go on with in
stances Of the influence a sweet
minded woman has in the social
life with which she is connected.
Beauty is an insignificant power
when compared with hers.

GLENC4IRN IL. WINS KINDLY Y.
Canadians believe She Will He Named TO De-
fend the seawanhnkn Cup.

MONTREAL, Aug. 5.-The Glencairn H., de-
signed by G. II. Duggan, who won the Seawan-
haka international cup for twenty-footers last
year, will. there seems to be little doubt, be tho
Canadian defender in this years races. 1t will
be some time before the committee announces
its decision. After the second trials the Glen.
cairn ii. and the Avoca, both designed by Mr..
Duggan, were selected by the Sailing Commit.
tee OF the Royal ST. Lawrence Yacht Club as
the two most likely boats TO defend the cup.
and out OF Ave races the Glcncairn won three
easily. The Avoca was sailed by Duggnn him
sailing yacht better than any other Canadian.
After some ~manuuvring the boats got away
evenly for the first race over the three mile tri-
angular course, Little by little the Glencnirn
ii. forged ahead, and passed the first buoy tifty-
FIVE seconds ahead Of the Avoca. On the soco,id
Avoca made u slight gain. The Glencairn II.
broke out her spinnakcr, but rounded the second
buoy forty seconds ahead OF the :Ayocn; The run
home was n heat against the wind. Tho Glen
cairn II. gained a little and won the first race,
the time being as follows; Gieneairp IL;

The second race was the most exciting strug.
gle OF the trial races on Lake st, Louis. The
Avoca was the first over the starting line. but
ON tho first leg the .Glencairn ii. passed her.
Amid cheers and excitement the Glencairn II.
sailed away from her, rounding the frs: buoy
with u lead OF tfty seconds; The wind, fell on
somewhat, and with great skill pnggAn brought
the Avoca up on the Glrncairn II. The latter.
however, turned the second buoy twenty see.

leg the wind strengthened, and the Avoca over
hauled the Glcncairn and took the lead. The
Glcncairn seemed 10 have some trouble with her
jib and the Avoca bear her in. tho time OF the
finish being: Avocn, l2:27,4G; Glcncairn.
l2:20:26.
The third race was to windwArd. The AvoCa
led down the first leg. The Glcncairn gained in
the second leg. but could not ovcrtakc her.
They finished as follows: Avoca, 3:2l:l9; Glen
Cairn, 3:22:l9.
The fourth and fifth races were over u
miles and return. The Glencairn showed her
marked superiority, winning both races easily.
The sails for the Mono and Alaukl, the
American boats, were passed through the GUS
toms to-day. The yachts are expected TO arrive
tomorrow.
