THE BERGEN WAY.
How a Norwegian Town Regulates the
Liquor Business.

How a Norwegian Town Regulates the
Liquor Business.
Much has been heard of the famous
Gothenburg system, but the Bergen
folk have not been less successful with
their little scheme. You rarely find an
intoxicated man in this bright and in
teresting town to-day. Thirty years or
so since he was the most familiar spec
tacle. The Bergen authorities taking
ADVANTAGE of the law passed by the
Storthing bought up the rights OF all
dealers of the spirits in the town. Next
there was started company called
Bergens Samaly for Observation-Disclosures
which. under the supervision of the
magistrates, took over the entire man
agement Of the retail spirit trade OF the
town. This company did not ask Tor
any privileges in regard to the sale OF
beer. which remained free for every
body in Bergen. Nor did the company
receive or ask for, any control over the
wholesale trade in wine and spirits.
The new company proceeded to estab-
lSI Twelve uIdCGb III ClSNii, ''''N-'N
spirits and wine are sold. The manager
of each house is paid by salary and
has no interest whatever in the sale
of LIQUOR The manager must not sell
more than one glass of schnaps TO each
customer Consequently, if a man de-
sires to get thoroughly drunk he has to
travel around the town from liquor
shop to liquor shop. Even then he is
likely to be defeated in his object, for
directly he shows signs of having had
more than enough he is sent away
without getting his schnaps by the
ger of each shop he visits. If the
manager sells to an intoxicated man he
is liable to severe penalties, How well
this system acts is shown by the fact
that very many thousands of applica-
tons for drink have been refused in
the course Of a year. Bergen boozer
or a visitor to the city, can no doubt,
by much walking from place to place,
get more than is good for him, but it is
next to impossible for him to get elori-
ously drunk on spirits. The sharehold-
ers in the Bergen Samlay get a divi-
dend of per cent. for their money,
and no more The remainder of the
profits are devoted to public purposes.
BY drink the authorities have planted
rows Of nice trees in their town; by
drink bought many books for their Ii
brary; by drink erected workmen's
dwellings; by drink assisted the Child
ren's Home and by drink started and
kept up an institution for fallen wom-
en-. In conclusion it may be pointed
out that the Bergen folk made not the
least fuss or outcry when this liquor
reform was effected They accepted it
quietly, and have never seriously agi-
tated for any alteration in the law

ANOTHER AMERICAN INROAD

Lady Jeune, writing in an English
periodical, laments the disappearance Of
the chaperon from English society. If
what she says on this point is authen-
tic, we think its cause must be attrib-
uted to the influx of American women
there Mr.. Henry James poked fun at
these American women in his portrait
of Daisy Miller years ago but it looks
as if they had fairly overcome both
England and him, and have fixed their
own freedom upon British society
Lady Jeune draws a rather regretful
picture of the chaperon as she was,
when she describes "the phalanx of
stately women, blazing with diamonds,
whose serried ranks occupied the
benches round the walls, whose faces
glowed with the gentle expression of
maternal devotion and circumspection,"
and she pays a tribute to their faithful
ness in saying: mo sentry on duty
ever displayed more vigilance, no mar
tyr ever represented more endurance
and determination, and no detective
est success, lay claim to such perspi-
cdclty anu ms lncllVe knoWleuSe OIL al

being carried out on the little stage be-

girls are now left good deal to take
care of themselves-rather more, 1t

home in many cases, Can it be that

LIONS AS THEY REALLY ARE

LIONS AS THEY REALLY ARE.
Lions infest the whole of the Beira
route to this day Ten years ago when
the line was being surveyed for they

| Never was there a greater mistake.
4 Those who have made their close ac-
quaintance-and they are those who
pioneered for this railrOad-say that a
lion far more often creeps on his stom-
ach like a stalking cat than goes on his
hind legs like his heraldic counterfeit.
Until one jumps at you he looks quite
insignificant But when he has made a
spring within a few yards of your
shoulder, he seems to fill the heavens
above and the earth beneath.

Lions, such as 7 have Described,

pioneers had lit a fire, some fat slices
of game were laid across it on a piece

from a Kaffir aroused one of the Eng
lishmen from sleep in time to see one of
these large cats quietly licking up the

BANKRUPT ENGL1sHWOMEN.

The returns of the bankruptcy de-
partment of the board of trade, as far
as women are concerned, are rather in
teresting. Last year they numbered
S13, or sixty fewer than in the preced-
ing year, and the proportionate de-
crease in their case was considerably
greater than in that of the men who
failed, Women are certainly entitled to
rank as highly respectable bankrupts,
as their assets averaged close on ten
shlllings in the pound and their total
liabilities were only G233, 900. OF all
trades, grocery claims more victims
than any other. Last year fifty-three
women grocers failed, whose debts
amounted to eli, 800, with assets eS,-
100. After these came thirty seven
milliners, who failed for G27, 900, and
no one will be surprised to hear that
clearinghouse keepers followed closely
after the milliners, together with wo-
men publicans. One case well illus
trates "woman's wit" though perhaps
not to the best advantage. The petit
ton was presented and judgment re-
covered when the debtor was a spins

let the petition stand over and in the
interval got married. She then claimed

ion in which the court concurred.-
