the increased consumption of strong drink.
Others assert more vaguely that our land is on
the high road to ruin. and everybody wonders
who it is that is swallowing that per capita quart
of beer and half pint of whiskey The tragedy
of the drink bill is hardly greater than its mys-
terry in the opinion of that large class of cit
liens who are Sinking their statisticaly proved
duty in consuming less than their mathematical
share of frewater. One or two conclusions
must he drawn; either the average American Is
a dreadful hypocrite, with the fearful habit of
secret drinking, or else part of the population
drinks gallon or more apiece daily.
The latter is probably the correct explanation.
The majority of immigrants look upon tie wine
when it is red, white or any other color, and
they fear 1t less than drinking water BY thou
sands of them beer or wine is used as sub
stitute for water, just in Central and South
ern Europe The real" American maryels at

does not represent the beverage used by the
millions of Italians and Germans. The truth is
that the poor mans beer has reached its high
water mark, rs the statistcian says but in a
very different sense from the intended one. The
poor man can drink gallon or more daily be
cause what he drinks is chiefly water. 1t has
gone with drink as with food the hard working
laborer demands bulk as well as nourishment
and good flavor and the brewers have met his
demand in many quarters by supplying diluted

Italian restaurants quickly discover that the
wines there served have, in the same way,
reached their high water mark, While there is
doubtless still a large demand for cheap strong
drinks, which must always he adulterated and

consumption is chiefly due to the workngman's
desire to combine quantity with mildness and
to the resultant watering Until it is shown

PHEAsANTs BECOMING DoMEsrlcArgp

From The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
Somebody conceived the idea a few wears ago
of making Western New York a game preserve
for Monaghan pheasants, presumably for the ben
eft of sportsnen. who have pretty we'll cleared the
country OF grouse, partridge woodcock and other
game birds, except occasional flock of wild
ducks O geese. The pheasants have found this
region congenial and have multiplied rapidly since
their introduction. They are quite a common sight
IN several localities near this city The law pro-
tecting them from the hunter has been carefully
observed, except by occasional providers who have
a bad habit of killing all birds indiscrininately
for food for mischief. The result of this i'm
munity is that the pheasants losing their fear
OF man and becoming quite domestcated In
the winter, when food is scarce they gather about
barns and mingle with domestic fowls heinins
themselves freely TO corn and other food provided
for poultry Some farmers complain that they find
do some damage in the spring In fields where
grain has been planted.
