THE WORLDS DRINKERS.

OF beer the greatest consumer Is Bavn
ria, the average quantity drunk per head
being so gallons year. This estimate is
no doubt trustworthy, being based upon
official data, but at first sisht one would
expect it to be even larger, sesing that
infants are not infrequently taught to
drink beer by Bavarisn mothors. In Ger
many considered as whole, the average
consumption Of beer IL much less than In
Belgium. which uses az gallons a head,
as against 80 in England and 25 in France.
1t seems chat in France very little beer is
drunk outside of the towns. Americans
are supposed TO be great beer drinkers,
but the figures show that on an average
they consume less than 10 gallons per
head. Mr. Bateman points out that of late
years the consumption Of beer in the
United States has not psrceptlbly increased
If we keep in Wow the increase of popu-
lation, while, on the other hand. the use
OF wine and spirits has Eeen signally di-
minished. 1t is "A mistake TO suppose that
distilled liquors are much drunk in Eng
land In 1896 the consumption was about
gallon per head, and there has been
scarcely any increase of quantity during
10 years. The Dutch and Belgisns drink
twice as much OF distillsd liquor as do
Englishmsn; mostly in the form OF gin.
Strange to say. tho Frenchman, who 10
the greatest wine drinker on earth, is slsu
the largest consumer OF ardent spirits
with the possible exception of the Dane.
or course French women and children
do not frequently use alcohol in this form
and even among adult males the consump-
ton of it is concentrated in the north
ana northwest departments. According
to the evidence however. lately produced

gate the subject each habitual cons inner

keeps in visw tho fact that the average
proof-strength of the spirits sold in France
is high. In the departments Of the north
west. we are told that the daily consump-
tion OF alcohol absorbs half the average
salary OF the working population, and
that in the department of the Nord there

or every Is. We observe lastly. that in the
