DECAY OF the DRINK HABIT
USE OF WHISKY MORE GEN
ERAL A GENERATION AGO.
Men May Greet Each Other and SIT
Around the Club Without
Tipping.

From the London Mail.
One of the commonest topics of discus
sion and one that you will find on the
syllabus of almost every debating society
is the time honored old question. Is alco-
hol luxury or a necessity" l suppose
it is safe to say that for many years
opinion on the subject has been fairly
evenly divided. Latterly, however, sew
eral advances in medical science. notably
the use of oxygen restorative. have
done much to supplant alcohol S neces-
sity in cases of sudden collapse, and
thus its supporters have had one of the
strongest planks in their argument torn
away. 1t is not my purpose. however. to
discuss the necessity of alcohol; such an
argument must largely depend on what is
a necessity" and that is debate which
may land us anywhere.
Let us ask ourselves the more serious
question. els alcohol any longer a lux
ury?' The different chancellors OF the ex-
chequer have always thought so-the pres
ent one more decidedly than any of his
predecessors-but from the various evil
dences that surround us it appears that
the glory OF alcohors day has departed
and that new dissipation has come from
the east. The proof of this may easily
be supported by figures. The decline of

Englands drink bill is well known and
only day OF two ago the board OF trade
gave use the tea" returns for 1908 at
:'23, 469, 1873 pounds. valued at E10, 734 40.
1t is, however, more interesting to take
the human evidences which surround us
in the streets. the clubs and the public
houses than to bore ourselves with the
tedious veracity of rows of figures. Such
evidence is not far to seek. So conspicuous
is it that the decay of the drink habit has
become an almost permanent topic Of dis
cusslon wherever men gather together.
The Great Revolution.
The more l talk with members Of my
own generation-and my own generation
includes all who are at present in the late
thirties or the early forties-the more
it appears that we of the junior middle
age group have lived through one of the
most remarkable social revolutions in
history. l doubt If any two decades In
all the centuries we know of have
wrought such an extraordinary change in
the ordinary lives of ordinary middle
class men as the last twenty years have.
This fact becomes Immediately evident
to any one who is old enough to compare
the men of today with the men Of twenty
years ago. No one can deny that We are
a cleaner, healthier, filter and more
wholesome lot of people than we used
to be.
To offer reasons for this very excellent
advance in our we'll being Is a simple
matter. A dozen or more suggest them
selves at once. We take more exercise,
we live more in the fresh air, we get
about more quickly and more easily. we
are better off and life has more convent
ences. But all these are merely mani
festations. corollaries or results of the
great revolution-one might almost say
upheaval-which has changed US in a
short twenty years from slightly intern
perate to an almost strictly temperate
nation. And l claim that We middle-aged
men of today have been the leaders OF
this great and silent revolution. We came
into maphood's estate some twenty years
ago, when the exclamation "HellO! was

Tribulations Of Comets.

From the Scientific American.
The observed aceeleration of the mean
motion of Encke's comet was at first at
tributed to the effect of resisting me-
dunn. but subsequent changes in the
comets motion have made this hypothesis
untenabe. Prof Hackenberg has made
a preliminary research, which appears 70
indicate that the observed changes may
be produced by the action of dense
swarms of large meteOrs. Biela:s comet
is known to have been affected by a
swarm or current Of meteors. which
doubtless caused the division of the COM

accelerations of the motions Of comets
which is in harmony with Hackenberg' 6
theory Hackenberg promises soon to
apply Charters results to the motion OF

In short twenty years We middle-aged

The Senator Confesses.
From Lippincott's.


AS every lawyer knows. Senator Daniel

on negotiable instruments, which is gen
orally considered to be the leading au-
thority on the subject A friend one day
inquired how it was that in the midst
OF his arduous political duties. which
must have demanded his constant at
tention, he found the time TO write two
such exhaustive volumes

salty ice that fills the buckets they are

receptacle This has an opening at the
front large enough to permit the players
to reach in and take out the balls they
have won. When the delay and annoy
ance is considered of making round Of
the table after each turn and collecting
from the various pockets, it will be seen
that this new form of table has much to

chutes run along the sides of the table
from one end to the other and at the

RONIANCER AT WORK

A story is going the rounds of the
press that Isadore Selig, the Jew who
drew the first number in the Occur
d'Alene reservation, has been offered
$4,000 for his claim. That any
respectable newspaper which lays
claim to publishing the truth, would
give space to such a story seems in
credable, and shows lack of thought
on the part of the editor A little
common sense and reason will soon
show this to be purely fiction. In
the first place neither Mr.. Selig nor
any one else knows where he will get
his first choice claim. In the second
place there is not a quarter section
of land on the Occur d'Alene reserva-
ton worth $4,000
Some newspapers are saying that
Mr.. Selig will probably pick town
site and one paper suggests that he
will probably have on his land "a
city as large as Guthrie, oklahoma. -
More romance, hot air and alfalfa,
The townstes on the Occur d'Alenc
reservation have been all laid out
and the lots appraised and they will
be sold at public auction. No home
stead can be used for townsite pur-
poses until final proof has been made
and there are already six tOwnsites
laid out on the reservation which is
not quite half as large as Whitman
county, there is little likelihood that
any more towns will be needed. Sup
pose that Mr. Selig selects his claim
adjoining one of these townsites He
cannot select it on four sides of the
town and that will leave three other
claims of equal value to be selected
by the holders of numbers ?, 3, and 4.
Look through the Palouse country
and see the many fine towns there
and then remember that less than
five years ago land, adjoining almost
any Of these townsites could be
bought for $50 an acre or less. Re
member that the Palouse country is a
better country than the Occur d.
Alene reservation, and that the towns
here are better than the towns will
