wine DRINKING ON THE DECREASE

II is an old story that there is less
intoxication in all grades of society
than formerly; that it is recognized
that the man who drinks TO excess is
at n disadvantage in business and in
his social relations; and that men
generally use more discretion in
drinking. so that while more drink
may be consumed than formerly, the
individual average of consumption is
far less.
At the same time there have been
various assertions that the habit Of
drinking has been increasing among
women. IL seems to be true that
more ONE do indulge in alcoholic
beverages than formerly; but some
curious evidence ONE from Europe
this autumn to indicate that this in
e is not accompanied by a ten
dency to excess.
This evidence is in the form of
complaints from proprietors of wine
yards in parts of France and Switzer-
land. They say that the demand for
wine has fallen off in recent years to
such an extent that their income has
been seriously affected.
At formal dinner parties it is re-

only a few evenings ago a gentleman

life.
Some OF the sanest and most brill

tates as well as the small fry were
squeezed and shorn constantly. To
escape from the general robbery the
natives. great and small. carefully con-
cealed their money and their values
under ground.
This inveterate habit became heredi-
tary among them, SO that to-day the
natives do just what their ancestors
did in past ages. II is estimated that

marked that less and less wine is be-
ing drunk. For a long time the fash
ionable tendency has been to serve
fewer varieties than formerly. Now
there has been a marked decrease in
the quantity consumed of even these
fewer varieties by moderate drinkers.
This applies to men as well RS to
women.
There has been a growing agitation
in favor OF temperance in France in
recent years; but the change in atti-
tude toward wine drinking does not
seem to have been produced by this
movement so much as by an evolution
in the opinion of society in general
on the question. People seem simply
to have accepted tie opinion that.
while a little indulgence in this re-
spect may be desirable, much is harm
full and unwise.
So that, on the whole, it may be
concluded that while there may be a
greater number of women who drink
than formerly, the general tendency is
such as to deter them from excuses.

About fifty milliards of francs is said
to be the total amount of the gold
product of the two worlds since the
discovery of America.
And. strange to say. of this out
pouring of gold which during four CEN
turtles has been scattered all over the
world, an immense portion remains
idle in India, where it has been en-
bedded. In India the gold returns to
the earth and remains there more
completely hidden than ii was in its
original state.
The amount OF gold brought into
India during the last sixty years-that
is to say. from 1897 to 1S9S-is great
er by 3.943, OO0, 900 francs than the
amount exported.
The soil of India absorbs the floods
Of gold just as the sand of the deserts
swallows the overflow OF the great riv-
ers. When il is remembered that this
work of absorption has been going on
with little interruption for ten cen
turtles and still continues under our
eyes, 1t is easy to form an idea of the
immense treasures that are hidden in
that country. All this gold remains
sterile, and. consequently. is lost. 1t
Is absurd to say that ii Is brought into
monetary circulation or that it passes
