Less LiQOr Drinking.

The bulletin for the Fedora, De-
partment of Labor for July gives
figures to show that there haa boon
a large decrease in the consumption
of Intoxicating liquors by the people
of this country. In 1880 the con-
sumption of distilled spirits in the
United States was q gallons for
every man, woman and child; in 1896
it was less than one gallon.
Such decrease in the use of strong
drink probably never occurred before
among any people.
There has also been a decrease in
the use of wine in this country. The
per capita of consumption of wine in
1880 was 30 of gallon, and in 1896
it was .26 of gallon.
But while there has been some
decrease in the use of wine and very
great decrease in the use of whskey,
brandy gin and other spirits, the
consumption Of beer has increased
Immensely.
In 1896 no less than I,170,370,4 ,448
gallons of beer were used in this
country. The beer used for medi-
cines, in cooking and for other pur-
poses except drinking, is compara-
lively very small. The great bulk
of the beer consumed in 1896 was
drunk. The per capita consump-
ton of beer in 1880 was only 1856
gallons. BY 1896 it had increased
to 1916 gallons.
In spite of this fact there ia good
reason to believe that there has been
a great growth of temperance among
our people during the past eighteen
years. Their larger use of mild
drinks is more than compensated for
by the great reduction of the guam
strong and fiery liquors.-Atlanta

An AMERICAN QUEEN Il !.

Four Generations OF Her Kin HaYe
Fought Under the Stars and stripea.
The following beautifully worded
article was handed to the CORES
pondcnt of the Knoxville Journal
and Tribune by q leading attorney
of Goldsboro, NO. All the facts
are thrrein historic and will be read
with interest by patriotic Americans
everywhere: s
Less than one hundred miles west
Of Ashe, lille, in the County Of Chero-
kee, the extreme western county of
North Carolina, on the broken brow
of q lowly hill; across which creeps
the shadows Of the unnamed peaks
of the beautiful Nantahala Noun
tains, there stands modest farm
house that never know a luxury. In
this humble and scantily furnished
home, about one mile from Andrews,
a flag station of tho Murphy Branch
of the Western North Carolina Rail-
road, there lives an aged widow with
a record 80 remarkable as to deserve
a choice place in the annals of her
country. Gro" ned with the snow
that never melts and modestly claim
ing the memories which stretch
across eighty-eight long years, she is
the sanity grandmother and the
Cody mother around whom three
generations of heroes are wont to
gather and pay revereatial homage
of affection. .afl- j..
Her name is Mary Phillips latham.
She was born February 2, 1910, and,
therefore, is in her eighty-eighth
year. Her grandfather followed and
fought under Gen. Washington. Her
father was in the thickest Of the fight
at New Orleans under Gen. Jackson
and through life bore the living evi-
dence of the carnage shown in that
memorable struggle. Under Gen.
Taylor in Mexico her husband was
in the forefront and never faltered
or wayered in the face of death itself.
In the late war she had six sons
who fought through and to the end
under the stars and bars-ono was
one of the body-guard of Jefferson
Davis whom finally captured, and in
the present war between the United
States and Spain fourteen of her
grandsons are in the regular service
and arc worthy sons of worthy sires
ready to do and to die.
These are facts without color,
which can be verified by him who
doubts. Mrs. latham is still sprightly
and seemingly unconscious of the
burden which eighty-eight summers
have slowly-and l have almost said
cruelly-imposed. This queen of
American womanhood, American
mother of American heroes, in o
modest American nome, in the
lengthening twilight Of life 80 long,
so fruitful and useful, around which
the shadows swiftly deepen with
such record, commanded my pro-
foundest homage and interest and
impelled this modest mention of her
name. The readers, I am sure, will
instinctively share the unbidden wish
that a kind Providence may fill her
few remaining days with the sun
shine of that sweet peace which
passeth all understanding. .'..

Tags on Goldfish.

The government is having lot of cod.
fish tagged at Woods Holl, to be released
in southern New England waters this
winter. The tag is fastened by wire to
one OF the fins, the fish first being stripped
OF spawn. When a cod having such
tag comes into the hands ofa fisherman,
dealer, or other person, he is urgently re-
quested to remove the tag and send it by
mail to the United States Fish Commits
sioner, Washington, or to the United
States Fish Commission station, Woods
Holl, Mass, together with the following
information concerning the fish: Date
vixen caught; on what grounds taken;
weight before being dressed; totallength,
measured from nose to tip of tail also
the position OF the tag, and what other
information they can give. .
1t is expected that the inquiry will
prove of practical interest by showing,
among other things, the rate of growth
of the cod, the frequency of its spawning.
and the extent to which individual fish
