they may not keep their shops open or
pursue their business after o'clock at
night
In a recent discussion 1 ventured to
observe on the unfortunate tendency III
the legislation Parliament adopted rather
to regard that which from the members
point of view was convenient and agree
able than that which might be convenient
or agreeable to those for whom they are
legislating. No doubt-for the members
OF the two houses of Parliament-thc
shutting up of shops at o'clock would
hurt very few people. There is no shop
ping for them after that time. but there
may be some matters for which one OF
the members would desire to enter
shop after o'clock He might wish to
go to a restaurant; he might wish t.
buy a cigar-that is a very reasonable
proposal.
There are very few members Of the
House of Lords who will want, exccpl
in those selected and excluded articles,
to shop after O'clock; but there are
hundreds of thousands of women in Lon
don who spend their day in work and
who have not the time for making the
requisite provision for their necessities
and their household goods until after c
O'Clock. A bill closing all the shops at
Z o'clock would exclude them from any
purchases they desired to make. I know
III one case IL Is provided Dy an Ouu
sort of special provision, that nothing III
the bill it is proposed to adopt is to
interfere with the traffic either in hot
meat spirituous liquors.
L should he sorry to suppose, or to 20
so far to say, that the whole of the
necessities of mankind are included in
the two things hot meat and spirituous
liquors.
But let us consider what 8 woman
coming home from her work has to do
who has to provide for husband and
children during the next day or week
She has to buy meat-not necessarily
hot meat-bread, fish, oil. coal. candles
l might go on and give an indefinite list:
but it is proposed to shut her out from
the whole of that commerce at the only
time of the day when she has leisure
to pursue it.
l maintain that there is a far more
important body, a far larger body, n
body whose necessities are greater, 4
body whose claims in legislation Of this
kind should press more imperiously, and
those are the consumers who frequent
these shops. If you shut up these shops
by legislative action you at all times
enormously increase their difficulty in
providing for the necessities of their
daily life. 1t is true, as has been said
that the end will be that the shopkeepers
will not like 1t, and they will try to
go back to the old system. But is that
the prime necessities of the poor? We

HOURS FOR WORK.
By Lord Salisbury.

Parliament has been asked to have 1t
made penal for any shopkeeper to give
employment to a man. however much he
may desire it, if that employment lasts
beyond Z O'Clock in the evening
What is provided is that any trades
man who desires that his own business
and the business of his rivals shall ter
inmate at o'clock may sketch out
district where he likes, take in whom he
likes belonging to this particular branch
of commerce, and if he can obtain two
thirds of his neighbors to combine with
him he may coerce by penal enactment
the rest OF the tradesmen not to conduct
their business after the hour of z.
Such Il measure has never certainly
been on the statute book of England
before. Hitherto grown-up men have
been at liberty to dispose of their labor
as they liked, and tradesmen have been
allowed to conduct such business as they
thought lit under such conditions as they
pleased. But in the proposed new law
if two to one of any district join together,
on most fanciful grounds, and if they can
be got to say that they prefer the earlier
hours, the minority will have to bow to
their decision, and not conduct their bus
mess after the time that suits the
majority.
That is undoubtedly a very new prin-
ciple to introduce in the legislation of
England. Besides that, it is not a mat
ter to be decided by a majority. nor de-
cided by the number of people in a dis
trict who have peculiar views, but it is
to be decided by an odd kind of plebiscite
of those who pursue a particular branch
of commerce. and they to determine
the law onder which their neighbors
may pursue their industry.
If the thing stopped there I shonld still
say that it was very novel interference
with the liberty of men to dispose of
their labor and to dispose of their capital
as they please; and it would behOove Par
Lament to give a very great deal of
thought indeed before it sanctioned a
principle so entirely novel. In the first
place. I think that the shop assistants
are to be considered, but that is compara-
lively a very small matter. They are
not the most important persons that are
affected by the opening or shutting of
shops; some consideration, a great deal
of consideration, is due to the consumer.
The consumer is the important person.
If The shopkeeper or the shop assist
ant does not like his trade he can leave
it and go to another, but if the consumer
is not to have that which he is in the
habit of consuming, which is, perhaps.

left whatever.

dition that may well be regarded as the
beginning of the end of Americas great
ness as a nation.
The natural result of the feeling of
dismay at the horrible prospect that
is threatened has not been confined to
that class of people often known as
temperance cranks." Total abstainers
and workers in the temperance fields have
lifted up their voices in protest, it is true,
but their arguments have been no more
emphatic in character than those of the
medical fraternity, while men of fore
sight in nearly every walk of life have
united in a general demand that the Gov
ernment take some steps to prohibit the
French business men from carrying out
their plan. They feel that it is the duty
of the authorities to take these necessary
steps at a time when the mass of the
people is yet free from the clutches
of this terrible demon, and not wait
until the vice has gained such a foothold
that it will be impossible to stay its
ravages.
As an illustration of what harm may
be done by absinthe they point to the
history of this drink curse in France,
and they demand that some action be
taken to prevent the United States from
following the footsteps of the republic

of the insane asylums have been brought
to that condition by the use of the French
beverage.
In New York the demand for absinthe
has increased to an alarming extent dur
ing the past few years, and it is esti-
mated that there are no less than five
thousand absinthe fiends ia that city at
this time. The liquor was drunk in the
French section for years before there was
any general demand for it. but it was a
beverage that appealed to the nervous
American temperament and gradually it
was taken up. In fact, its use has now
become SO widespread that, it is esti-
mated, more than $4,000 cases were sold
in New York alone last year, and from
New York the desire for the insidious
poison has extended to almost every city
in the country.
While the use of absinthe as a bever-
age is a matter to be deplored, or even
to be prohibited by proper legislation,
the liquor has a medicinal value that is
commendable. At first, and when taken
under proper prescription. its effect is
extremely wholesome. When taken in
small doses it acts as a tonic and tends
greatly to stimulate the digestive organs
The danger, however. lies in the fact
that the absinthe habit is one that is

the exception. Now he is the rule, and
the idle promenader who, just before the
dinner hour takes the trouble to follow
the boulevards from the Opera House
to the Place de la Republique, a distance
of a mile, will see all the seats occupied
before the cafes, and half these people
will be slipping that liquid whose green
ish hue is unmistakable. Then, if he
desires to extend his investigations and
enters one of the so-called bars, where
bad liquors of all sorts are sold from
three halfpence to three pence the glass,

old men poorly clad, who earn a few
sous a day by selling newspapers, or,
perhaps, beggars, but instead of buying
food, all buy absinthe, which serves them
in the place of food and clothing.
Up to a few years ago the use of alb
sinthe was practically unknown in Eng
land, but its consumption has now in
creased to such an extent that a league
has been formed with the object of pre-
vailing upon the government to prohibit
the sale of the poison. Five years ago
the French poison" as it was called,
was sold only in the cafes of the French
quarter, but to-day it is dispensed by the
wholesale in every public house, and

Workers in Temperance Fields View
With Dismay the Coming Of the
Absinthe Factory.

The announcement that the French
absinthe manufacturers have decided to
push the sale of their product in the
United States, and that factories are at
once to be established in New York, st.
Louis, San Francisco, and other large
cities of this country, is the chief topic
of conversation in temperance circles. For
years it has been matter fof congrat-
ulation that the drinking of absinthe was
n vice to which the great majority of
Americans were not addicted, but it is
now felt that if the French manufact-
urers are permitted to carry out their
plans it viii not be long before the people
of this country are closely bound in the
coils OF the Green Monster" a con-

APPEAL TO WASHINGTON.

OF course it is a question whether the
Government can be persuaded to take
the matter in hand, but a strong fight
to bring about such a result will surely
be made. and when the facts about the
nature and effects of the drink are fully
known there will undoubtedly be raised
such a storm of protest that Washington
will be compelled to listen if not to heed
it.
The first argument that will be used
against the manufacture and sale of
absinthe in this country will be taken
from the researches of the French ply
sicians, whose experience has brought
them into close touch with the worst eff
fects of absinthism.
For instance, DIR. Jacquet, one of the
most eminent physicians in Paris, re-
Gently reported to the medical society
of that city that the nation was being
ruined by absinthe. He said that while
the Of that liquor had formerly been
confined to the idle classes, the working
people had now fallen victims to the vice
and that their use of the poison had
increased to such an appalling extent
that they now required it with their
meals as we'll as before lunch and dinner,

and he did not hesitate to say that he
believed that it was the absinthe habit
that was responsible for the morbid If
ritability which. he claims, is SO rapidly
becoming one of the characteristics of
the French people. Dr. Lancereaux,
another prominent French physician, is
just as confident that the use of absinthe
is one of the greatest dangers that
threatens the nation. and in fact, one
might go on almost indefinitely in quot
ing from the medical men of France as
to the evil effects of this seductive and
nerve-destroying drink.
Some idea of the increase in the use
of this beverage may be gained from the
statistics in the hands of the French
tax authorities. for it can then be seen
that the consumption of absinthe in Paris
has increased from 1,3S0.00O gallons in
1888 to an estimated consumption of g.
100000 for last year, or, in other words,
more than four times as much abslnthe
is consumed to day as was drunk about
ten years ago, and when It is remem-
bered that these figures represent the
amount of pure alcohol in the liquor, and
not in its bulk. it will be seen that the
actual amount of liquor consumed must
be much greater

WINDSOR GHOSTS.

The Dean of Windsor, who Is also
chaplain to the Queen, is not sure wheth-
er Henry VIII. or Queen Elizabeth
haunts the castle, but he is ready to take
his oath that the spirit of Charles I.
is to be seen annually in the vicinity, for
he has witnessed the ghost of the be-
headed monarch in an ancient house in
the canon's close, which is a dependency
OF the castle.
It would be difficult to imagine a more
suitable locality for ghosts than Wind
sor Castle. 1t has been the residence of
every English monarch since William
the Conqueror, and has thus seen more
than eight hundred years of splendor,
blood, crime, romance and tragedy. 1t
was built by William shortly after 1906.
st. Georges Chapel, which was attached
to it, was completed by Henry VII.
England is not the only country that
can boast of royal ghosts, however, for
these spectres may be located in almost
every old castle from Spain or Italy to
Sweden. Probably the most famous Of
them all is the White Woman that
Kaiser Wilhelm II. inherited with his
crown. as visits by this spook have por-
tended trouble through many generations
Of Hohenzollerns. Stories from the
earliest days of this reigning family
show that each successive materializa-
ton has been marked by some misfor-
tune to the house. As it is the common
telief of the superstitious that misfor-
tune and sin always follow, one the
other, they are asking what great sin
some distant ancestor of the present ruler
committed to bring the wrath of the
white spectre upon his descendants.
