TENDENCY TO LIQUOR HABIT
Efforts at Promoting Temperance Nee
essariIy Slow Owing to Gus
toms Of Ancestors.

We must not be surprised at the,
great difficulty in promoting temper
ance, not to speak of total abstinence,
when we recall what a strong hold the
habit of using intoxicants had upon
our English and American ancestors.
1t has not been very long ago since
liquors were kept on the sideboard in
almost every home where the family
could afford IT, and were freely offer
ed to every guest as part of the hos
pitality of the day, says Temperance.
1t wasnot good form" to refuse what
was offered, and so the caller at sew
eral homes in the course of an even
ing was apt to find his head reeling
and his feet unsteady as he left his
hospitable friends and made his way
to his own dwelling
Not many considered It a very great
disgrace to be under the influence of
liquor, although hard drinkers were
apt to speal; with contempt of those
who had limited capacity and we're
speedily overcome.
Far back beyond those early DAYS,
in the old country our ancestors made
free use of beer and spirits. These
beverages were taken as matters of
course
The consumption Of beer in an ordi-
nary home was enormous. Besant in
his London tells OF a family where
p quarts were taken daily. nearly 2
quarts for each person. I'VE must
remember that there was no tea. that
people would not drink water If they
could get anything else. and that small
beer was the national beverage. taken
with every meal and between meals,
and that the allowance was at each
ones own discretion" As late as
177O the men in a London printing Of
flee took a pint of beer before break
fast, pint with breakfast. pint be-
tween breakfast and dinner. a pint at
dinner, another at G. and sixth pint
when they stopped work. The pota-
tions were sometimes continued du-
ring the evening. Ale was also used
In large quantities. Wine was used.
but not so freely because of its great
er cost.
i'AAhhAA5 III AallS4dllu Ill lue 10Th
century was a general habit among all
classes, The clergy, merchants, law
yers, judges, tradesmen and working
men all drank. In 1886 there were
7044 gin-shops in London and over
5000 other places where gin was sold,
so that one house in every five vas
a resort for drinkers. to say nothing
of the vast quantities of beer. gin,
wine and other intoXicants consumed
at home.
Gin had grown to be the favorite
tipple, especially with the work peo-
Pile. some of whom spent much Of their
wages in the fiery stuff that brought
speedy intoXication.
When we think how extensively in
toxicants were employed and how the
old-time usages of the mother coun-
try were transferred to this land. and
how general during the colonial Pc
riod and for many years later here
was the free use Of liquors, we must
not be discouraged at the slow prog.
ress of efforts at securing sobriety.

A September Luncheon.

This is such glorious month! One

"A hostess who returned from
summer abroad gave this pretty af.

the Russian peasant women. Black

the only flowers in evidence and they
fairly made the rooms blaze with gor-

them.
The piece de resistance was what
the hostess called scrapple and was so
delicious she had to give the recipe,
which follows: One pound of round
steak, one pound of fresh pork, put
through the chopper, boiled until done

A Motley Musical Party.

- NOhlCy muSiCdt
A young hostess gave this very orig
inal party, which was such a success
that 1t has been the talk of the town
ever since. She invited her guests to
come, each bringing a musical instru
ment and dressed in a costume to
match. She wore a Grecian costume
of pure white, with her hair il Psyche
knot with gold bands and she carried
a either. The other young girl in the
family dressed as a darkey with the
gayest kind of costume; she was
accompanied by her best boy, who
was a giddy young colored swain, and
they carried banjo and guitar, Then
there was an Italian beggar girl with
accordion. a Spanish gypsy with her
tambourine, a Scotch lad and lassie
with bagpipes, a dear little Dutch
couple in real wooden shoes with
flutes, and three chums went as ltal
ian street players with harp, violins
etc. The best of all was when man
with a hand organ and monkey ap
peared. One of the men had hired him
for the occasion. OF course he only
stayed a few moments, but went away
with the monkeys pockets filled with
coppers and a good lunch in basket
The ices were served in shape OF mu
sical instruments and the favors were
all candy boxes in the same shape
filled with delicious small bon-bons
The hostess awarded prizes for the
different costumes, which we're judged
by older members of the family who
surveyed the guests as they passed in
line before them. The father OF
the house remarked that he had new
or enjoyed a musical medley more.
