WINE DRINKING ON THE DECREASE


1t 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 a 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. 1t seems to be true that
more women do indulge in alcoholic
beverages than formerly; but some
curious evidence comes from Europe
this autumn to indicate that this in
crease 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-

Fogs Mt Sen and on lind.

There is fog at sea as well as a fog
on land, but one curious difference
does not seem to have been noticed
The fog of London and the fog of the
sea alike discompose traffic. and omni-
buses and steamships alike have had
to lay to for safety. But while the
London fog gets into your inmost room
and battles even the electric light
Though the candle comes out triumph
ant, curiously), the very densest fog at
sea does not disturb the saloon or the
stateroom. While the buzzer is going
all around one at sea, the ship itself,
so far as the passengers is concerned,
is unaffected.

Gold Buried
in India

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 it was in it's
original state.
The amount of gold brought into
India during the last sixty years-that
is to say, from 1887 to 1S9S-is great
er by 3,943,000,000 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 it is remembered that this
work of absorption has been going on
with little interruption for ten cen
turtles and still continues under our
eyes, it 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 it is brought into
monetary circulation or that it passes

Louisville Courier-Journal: The
legislation that is needed to suppress
anarchy must be directed at anarch-
lists irrespective of their origin. 1t is
all bosh to say that the difficulty is to
know who is anarchist. No law can
reach the man who believes in an
archy, yet it is cowardly enough to
keep his belief to himself, just as no
law can reach the man who would
steal or murder, if he had the courage.
But the man who openly advocates
the principles of anarchy is as easily
distinguishable as is the pirate who
hoists the black flag, and he Should
De treated as summary as the pirate.

Jaw inquiry commission N St. Louis

from tetanus were caused in st. Louis
by antitoxine supplied to physicians
by the city. OF course, it was denied
in ST. Louis, just as it has been denied
in Camden and Philadelphia that te-

of the germs been proved, but the

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 as to
women.
There has been 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 the 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.
When an opportunity arises it is
usually for the purpose Of going.

st. Rules Tower.

st. Rules Tower in the town of ST
Andrews, is an evidence of the link
which binds st. Andrew, whose feast
all good Scotchmen are keeping to-day
to the country of whom he is the pa
iron saint. The legend runs that d
monk called Regulus, or Rule, brought
the bones of ST. Andrew from Con-
stantinople to Scotland. and buried
them near the seacoast, on the spot
round which the present town of st.
Andrews afterwards grew. Whether
the story is true or not, there seems
to be no other way to explain the con-
nection of this particular saint with
Scotland for he seems to have passed
the whole of his life up to the mo-
ment of his martyrdom in the East.
James II. certainly associated him

it was he who founded the Order OF
St Andrew in 1857, to be conferred

The sleepers are of Mora wood, said to
