the Alice Freeman Palmer memorial
which has recently been given place
of honor in Wellesley college, where
Mrs. Palmer was president from 1881

times. 1t was through her intiueAce
that the college assumed the leading

through the efforts of Miss Caroline

made to realize the meaning Of a mil

an equal amount Of white space be-
tween the black spots. At each tenth
spot double width Is left so as to

at a wedding at which one OF the
presents was, to say the least, uneon-

raised among the spectators when it
was rumored that a tall oak box
placed against the wall contained a
skeleton. and all sorts Of rumors were
rife as to the significance of such
curious wedding gift. The real ex-
PLANTATION was simple. An eccentric
old gentleman had once found the
bride, who was fond of drawing, maxi
ing study from a skull and had
vowed that he would give her whole
skeleton when she was married. The
result was that after protracted nego.
tiation he secured the framework Of
an Austrian grenadier, which, be-

Of beer is exceeding small. Beer
and light wines constitute the ma
tional beverage equally for the
wealthy and the lowly, the rich and
the poor. The many beautiful gar
dens where drinks are dispensed,
having comfortable tables and chairs
and good attendants, are crowded
during pleasant weather with the
most respectable classes of society,
ranging from the highest in rank to
the peasantry, all joining together
in republic of pleasure, drinking in
moderation while enjoying the best
of music. This is furnished as
rule by some one of the numerous
military bands. 1t is the same dur
ing the winter months with the in
door places.
Upon many journeys through Ger
many l have never seen one single
case of drunkenness in any of these
halls or gardens. Treating, with its
coneomitant evils, is practically un.
known. Each man pays for what he
requires, drinking no more than no
wishes. Sometimes the general thirst
on a warm summer day is titanic in
its capacity for consumption. But,
notwithstanding the vast quantities
consumed, beer does not seem to en-
gender the cambative element
aroused by alcoholic drink; it has
rather the reverse effect, for it not
only satisfies the thirst, but contains
a food quality, which resists the
small percentage of alcohol. render

strong drink to
crime and of the lighter wines and
beer to crime would, as indicated by
the police statistics in every land,
show much to the advantage of the
latter as against the former That
the brewers OF cur country have to
answer for an overplus of low dives
set up by them where liquors as we'll
as beer are sold, is true enough. On
this point Adolphus Busch himself
spoke in no uncertain terms less
than q year ago. But this is an in-
cident which does not affect the
argument in favor of the vinous and
malt fluids,
Washington, though himself dis.
tiller, was of this opinion. Jeffer
son, who had seen more OF the word
--assuredly more Of the European
world-than Washington, went the
length of making strenuous effort
to introduce wine and beer to Vir-
ginia by offering bonus to the
winners and brewers who would
come and try the experiment. Not
until the Germans arrived in great
numbers, however, did the beer in
dustry prosper.
Touching this relation of drink to
crime, as revealed by the police rec
ords, am permitted by Consul Gen
eral Peters to make the following
quotation from the latest data com.
piled by him;
