ABSTAINERS.

Despite some surface lndlca-
tious which cannot hide the &C
tual fact, it may be set down as
incontrovertible that there are
today millions of total abstainers
from alcoholic drink where there
were thousands fifty years back
and practically none at all a CEN
tury ago. Says a well-known
authority on this topic; "A hun
dred years ago nearly everybody
took something. Liquor was to
be found on every sideboard. Be-
sides the grogshop, every gro
Gerry sold it, and no tavern was
without it. Freer was its use
than water by the human spe-
cies. -
Today there are abstainers in
every occupation and walk of
life, and the milder non-alcoh0lic
beverages have displaced the de-
canter and the sideboard in thou
sands of lunch rooms, restaurants
and private dining-rooms.

[Snuff is made by grinding, in NOR
tars or mills. the chopped leaves and
stalks Of tobacco in which fermenta-
ton has been induced by moisture and
warmth. The tobacco is we'll dried
previous to grinding, and this is car
ried sometimes so far as to give tho
peculiar flavor of the h%igh-dried snuffs,
such as the Irish, Welsh and Scotch.
Some varieties, as the rappees, are

given rise to fanciful names for snuff,

"BLUESTOcKING."

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
When did the term "bluestocking" or
iginate? also, who was the first to
refer to corporations as "soulless?"
HENRY D.
1.-THE term ''bluestocking" was orig
inally used in Venice about the year
14O0 to designate literary classes by
colors. In Mills "History of Chivalry"
we are told that members of the vari-
Gus academies were distinguished by
the color of their stockings, blue being
the prevailing color. The application Of
the term to women originated with Miss
Hannah More's description Of a BLUE
stocking Club in her "Bas Bleu."
Corporations have no souls is a
much older expression than most people
imagine. It originated with Sir Edward
Coke, who, in the sixteenth century,
was considered one Of the best legal
writers Of the age. He says in one of
his treatises: Corporations cannot
