y Six Bottle Man Thing of the Past

"A man who drew the line at the third
bottle was deemed little better than a
milksop." DR.. Johnson told Boswell that
he remembered the time when every de-
cent man in Litchfeld got drunk every
night.
In the statistics of the sales of liquor
in great cities some notion can be had
of the amount of liquor drunk. Making
ample allowances for all contingencies
and unusual effects. il is said that in
England in the year 1872 the sales OF
liquors 10 adult persons allowed twelve
gallons a head annually. In Scotland the
in Ireland il was about six gallons TO a
head. 1t is known to all students Of
economies that more liquor is consumed
in Scotland by the adult population than
in any other country.
In two ways is the change in the
drinking abit marked today: First. in
the accompaniments of the drinking. In
olden times the chief drinking seems TO
have been done a night. not during
for their bottles OF port and palmer folk
gathered in taverns or coffee houses and
club rooms.
They met every night and over their
pipes and hO( grOg they sang together
old catches. glees. ballads. and drink
ing songs Of which We have such fine
examples in the English tongue. The
poured forth all over England every
night, and America. too. from every
tavern chimney. and open door There
was always plenty of songs with that
sort of chorus which every man could
