USE or ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.

The head Of the commercial department
of the Board of Trade of the United King
dom has recently made a report regarding
the production and consumption of beer,
wine and spirits in the leading European
countries and in the United States which
contains many interesting features. The
first fact brought out is that there does
not seem to be any marked increase in any
part of the world in the consumption of
wine. That such would be the case when
wine should become cheaper has been as
sumed by many. France continues to con-
sumo wine at the rate of thirty gallons a
head and Italy and Spain follow with some
falling off. but in Germany. a wine-preduc-
ing country, the consumption is only about
gallon head. In England the consump-
ton of wine is not half a gallon head
and in this country even less than in Great
Britain.
Beer has come to be the general substi-
tute for the heavier alcoholic beverages.
England drinks thirty gallons head, Bel
gium forty-two, which is a higher average
consumption than that of Germany as a
whole though the average in Bavaria is
fifty gallons, which gives it the lead in. the
consumption Of beer. France consumes but
five gallons and the United States but fif-
teen gallons per capita, or half as much as
Great Britain.
The facts regarding the consumption of
spirits are interesting in connection with
the consumption of lighter liquors. Great
Britain consumes a gallon of spirits a head,
and Holland and Belgium twice as much,
principally gin. In France, and particular
ly in the northern portion, the drinking of
spirits is rapidly increasing. In some dis
tricts the daily consumption of alcohol abb
serbs quite half of the average wages of
the working population In the depart
ment of the Nord there is a saloon for
every forty-six persons, including men,
women and children. The increase of the
consumption of spirits in Switzerland has
been so great as to cause the authorities
to become alarmed.
The most notable fact which the report
brings out is that the consumption of alco-
holic liquors is increasing in all European
countries at more rapid rate than popu-
lation. The United States, however, is an
exception. The consumption with US has
been decreasing for number of years OF
wine and spirits there has been percepti-
BILE decrease. while, having regard to popu-
lation, the consumption of beer has not in
creased.
This comparison derives it's Importance
from the circumstance that many of those
who give attention to economic and socio-
logical topics believe that the people which
will win in the industrial struggles of the
future will be that which consumes the
smallest quantities of alcoholic beverages.

In one of the Philadelphia schools both
girls and boys are taught to whistle, and
the girls are said to be more accomplished
in the art than their brothers. This teach
ing is of doubtful wisdom. 1t is undertaken,
of course on the common theory that whist
ling is desirable for a man, but it is a
theory at least open to question If boys
and men who whistle would confine their
practice to nighttime promenades when
they want to keep their courage up no one
would complain, butt, unfortunately a
whistler takes all times for his own and
causes much suffering to the sensitive ears
of helpless persons in his immediate neigh
borhood. If girls learn the woes of these
victims will be doubled.

AT WEST POINT.
Visiting EngIishmen Think 1t Is 8
Grant rig In tufinn.

Army and Navy Journal.
Whenever l talk with an average English
man who has Travelled in America, sooner or
later it leaks out that he has been impressed
mainly by two sights-one Niagara Falls,
the other our military academy at West
Point.
We are so accustomed to West Point as a
national institution that we are apt to re-
gard it as quite natural to us. But this IS
by no means the case. 1t was the remark
able foresight of George Washington that
gave US this institution, and it is due to
most fortunate combination of circum-
stances following upon its foundation that
we have to-day a training school for officers
free from political influence and producing
better results over a given period of time
than any military school, in the world, not
even excepting the schools of Germany.
This train OF thought was brought home
to me while conversing with an eminent war
official of the English government who knew
America we'll and was deeply interested in
military education. From him | learned
that a special commission had been sent
over TO US for the purpose of making a study
of West Point, with view of the reorgan-
ization of the English military college at
Sandhurst. This college was founded in 1883,
and must not be COMPOUNDED with the So
called staff college, where postgraduate in
England proposes to improve Sandhurst.
and pays us the delicate compliment of mod
cling upon our designs. 1t is not likely that
she will wholly succeed, because young
Englishmen of to-day are too accustomed 10
luxury, and would as soon go into a monas-
terry as submit TO the hard work and con-
envy.
Tae only practical means. / can see for
England in this matter is that she should
send annually, by special agreement with
our secretary of war, half d dozen young
men to West Point, who, for four years
thereafter, should go to Sandhurst as milf
tary instructors They would then have
learned TO appreciate all that is good in the
West Point system, and their knowledge of
England would enable them to modify 1t in
a manner suitable TO the needs of their
countrymen.
In return for the international courtesy.
the United States might request that six
graduates of West Point annually be al
lowed to attend the so-called staff college"
corresponding to the German war college
(Kriegsaka demie), where officers of special
merit are sent to perfect themselves in the
higher branches of their calling particular
~ in military history and staff duties. This
would be particularly valuable training for
such of our officers as contemplate .becom-
ing attached to embassies in a military ca
pacity They would here see great armies
handled as though in actual warfare and in
case of necessity would be fitted to COM
mand large bodies OF troops. A young Amer
lean officer at the Ed Ash staff college. for
instance. would be ta- en- each year Il round
or batflefields. such as Waterloo or Metz,
and would have the situation explained to
him on the spot in q manner 70 nuke q
lasting impression.
