PROSPERITY VS.. SALOONS.
What Less Drinking May Mean Here,
in Canada and England.

From the Montreal Nltness
Statistics quoted by Chicago paper show
that during the last five years there mas
been a steady decline in the consumption
of ardent spirits in the United States From
this the conclusion Is drawn that the ma
ton is becoming more temperate. The ng-
ures show that the consumption Of distilled
spirits other than those made from fruits.
in the fiscal year 1905 was 1l6 143. 49, gal
Ions or 7O4, $40 gallons less than In 19Ol
The falling off Is attributed to various
causes, among which a genuine reform IN
popular drinking habits Is gratifyfngiy IN
ciuded. Another cause Is the rfgor with
which the Sunday saloon closing laws have
been enforced in many cities since Governor
Folk of Missouri led the crusade for law
and order in that state.
It would be- indeed, most hopeful sign
of an awakened public conscience If the ex-
ample of one strong, good man in the cause
of public morality should lead to SO happy
a result. The fact that the country has
been exceedingly prosperous during the
years that the consumption of, liquor has
declined is noted as indicating that, as the
material condition of the people improve.
they drink less. This does not agree with
drinking increases with prosperity. In Lon
don, where similar decline In the use OF
ardent spirits is reported, the statisticans
of the board of trade attribute 1t to the
hard times. So many people are unemployed
thar they cannot spend much in drink.
Nor does it accord with the Canadian
showing, which reveals a notable increase
in the consumption of spirits during the re-
cent years of prosperity.

THE HOUSING OF DoMEsTICs.
An English Lesson That is Applicable
to This Country.
From the London Lancet.

From the London Lancet
Although our domestic servants are In
large part drawn from a class among which
it would seem in keeping with the fitness OF
things that in the houses and fats of those
who are in position to pay relatively high
rents the servants should be provided with
rooms in which there are adequate cubic
space, light and ventilation. We are afraid,
however, from certain preliminary obserya-
lions which we have made that in at least
q considerable number of instances the SER
wants are housed under conditions which,
did they exist in the dwellings of the poor,
would be open to strong criticism, their
safety from such criticism In houses OF the
rich lying in the fact that external ap-
pearances are sometimes q little deceptive.
It Is somewhat surprising to find some OF
the very worst accommodation as regards
servants quarters In quite modern hats,
with q rental of from ESQ to ESQ year
and situated IN the most fashionable parts
Of the metropolis.
To us it Is astonishing to find that those
who have so far succeeded in life as to be
able to pay these rents should be content to
house their servants under conditions in
which they can never enjoy direct sunlight
and where even diffused light Is but mat
ter of a few hours daily, even in midsum-
mer. In fats such as these there are good,
even imposing, reception rooms and. per-
haps. two well-lighted bed rooms. For the
rest the rooms, being In q projection at the
rear and separated only very short dis
tance from the projection Of the adjoining
fat, are almost in darkness and but very
imperfectly ventilated.
It is this condition of affairs, necessitatinG
as 1t does the constant deprivation OF sun
light and the almost perpetual substitution
of artificial light, which tends to promote
the pale-faeed anaemic appearance some
times seen In servants In the employment
Of the better-off class. It is df4cult to un-

plfcity has the whole been reduced that the

set of drawers. numbered streets another,
and named streets another. Under each
street the houses of water users are ar

Besides entering upon separate coupons
the result of such of his inspections as have
shown repairs of one sort or another TO pc
necessary each inspector, on completing ms
days work must make complete record
of all inspections-and these daily reports
form another phase of the system of the
office.
X
Aside from the work of the water de-
partment inspectors, the District govern
ment, by authority of Congress and under
special appropriation, has 1naugurated an
other system of regulating the use of wa
ter by installing water meters. The $1,000
set aside by Congress for this purpose be-
came available July 1, and, upon applica-
ton by various residents Of the city, the
meters are being distributed. By direction
Of the Commissioners the contract for
meters under this congressional allowance
was awarded to one firm--but even before
this act was approved many property own
ers, becoming dissatisfied with the regula-
ton Of their water bills by approximation,
have had meters installed at their own ex-
pense. Just how far this method of regu-
lating the use of the city water will be
carried out cannot be predicted because the
extension of the system depends very large
ly upon the demonstration before Congress
of the results so far attained.

other scientific instruments.
The dIstilling plant shown at the Portland
fair is new invention, and 1t is claimed
that the time required in getting the quick

its use from about thirty-six hours to four

How Authorities Endeavor
to Prevent Water Waste

" TN nv TN nv nv nv IN IN
the fact that where Potomac water is vast
ed from spigots left running, leaking water
fixtures and other means of waste. the law
requires that the supply be cut off from the
premises, and to the further fact that the
law imposes fine of not less than 81 nor
more than $40 for each offense, where the
repairs are neglected or the waste con-
tinued."
Attached to this notice is coupon, which
the inspector detaches, after entering upon
1t the location of the premises and the ma
ture of the leaky water fixture. and returns
to the office of the water registrar for rec
ord. On this coupon is written the name of
the inspector and the date of serving the
original notice upon the occupant of the
premises, while on the next line below is
placed the name of another inspector to
whom the fault Is referred
This second man makes another inspection
three days later and like the first inspector
he reports the result to the water office. If
repairs have been made in the interim he so
states, and the coupon becomes part of
the water department records. If the pipe
or faucet, or both, are still leaking, inspect
or No. leaves a second notice and also
learns the name of the owner or agent of
the property and notifies him of the neces-
sity for repairs. If by the time the second
inspector arrives the occupant of the prem
Uses is able to show that effort has been
made to remedy the defect, or that 1t has
been impossible to secure the services of a
plumber within the specified time, still
longer period of grace Is allowed-and a few
days later another inspector visits the prem
Uses. Then. If the property owner or occu-
pant shows no disposition to comply with
the law, the water Is shut off.
In the water registrars Office the records
are not kept in the names of all water users
in the city, but exclusively by house num-
bers. Nowhere else in the departments of
the District government, and probably no
where else In any other city, is the card
catalogue system carried out with greater
attention to detail. To such point of SIM

What Hunger is Scientifically.
From American Medlcin,


Hunger is the sensation felt because Of
the contraction of the muscuaris either of
the pylorus or possibly also the entire stom-
ach or of the duodendum. or Of the con-
traction OF the muscularis of all these
structures. If the contraction Is more In
tense 1t is felt as painful hunger. If the
contraction is slight, then the sensation of
the hunger Is also of a slight degree; 1t is
evanescent.
Hunger is lesser degree Of pain. and Is
produced by the contraction of the muscu-
laris. This is the reason why hunger passes
away after a certain lapse of time. even
II no food has been taken; 1t means SIM
ply that the muscularis becomes tired and
contraction gives way to relaxation. Alb
sence of contraction the inability 10 con-

such dtstention is not caused by an
overabundance of the irritating acid gases.
