LESS DRUNKENNESS.

WE DON'T BEGIN TO DRINK AS DID OUR FOREFATHERS.

This Is a Temperate Age--So Many Drunk- ards Other Days That Food Prices Were Low.

Intemperance is popularly supposed to be a growing evil, tf not one peculiar to our own times, yet the fact ts that our ancestors a century and a half ago drank three times as much beer and eight times as much spirits as we do to-day Judging by the drink figures of the middle of the last century this is decidedly a temperate age instead of the reverse

rhe History of London,"’ published about 1750, by William Maitland, F R 5, contains probably the most complete and ever printed re- garding the population, the consumption number of public that time The author was a man, whose only object was the facts, and he spared no accurate as posst- population were

careful account that was of liquor and the houses at scientiffc to ascertain pains to make them as ble The statistics of reached by an extremely careful compu tation of the bills of mortality, which furnish the most satisfactory data for the purpose, short of a census The number of public houses was ascertained by actual survey, and the figures of con- sumption were derived from the Custom House and excise returns The population of London was found to be at that time 725,903 This seems to be approximately correct, for the number of houses was 95,968, which gives an av- erage of nearly eight persons to a house Nowadays the houses in the English me- tropolis are larger, and the average is be- tween eight and nine persons The quan- tity of liquor consumed by this popula- tion of three-quarters of a million is al- most incredible, as will be seen from the following figures: Beer, 70,955,604 gal- lons; spirits, 11,205,627 gallons,and wine, 30,040 “‘tuns.’’ The wine may be left eut of the reckoning, because it is not certain at this day what is meant by a “tun,’’ but the others show the following consumption per head Beer, 97 gallons; spirits, 14 gallons The force of these figures will be ap- preciated when it is stated that the aver- age consumption per head in the United Kingdom during the last thirty years has beef Beer, 28 4 gallons; spirits and wine together, 1 48 gallons The highest figures recorded during these three decades are Beer, 34 gallons, in 1874; spirits and wine, 181 gallons, in 1875 The con- sumption in the United States of these beverages is somewhat less per capita There were 654 tnns and taverns, 5,975 alehouses, and 8,659 ‘‘brandy shops’’—in all 15,288 houses, for the consumption of liguor on the premises in this age, which has been called by contemporary writers a besotted one There was, therefore, one pothouse to every six other structures, and one to every forty-seven persons In 1891 the proportions were one to sixty- three and one to 550 respectively -At the present day, even if the total number of retail licenses of all sorts, both for con- sumption of liquor on the premises and off. is taken, including grocers’ licenses and those for restaurants, they only rep- resent one to every 430 persons The drinking places in London in the Iast century were, therefore, nearly ten times as numerous, according to the popula- tion, as they are to-day The largest number of these old-time drinking places were the ‘‘ brandy shops,’’ or places where strong. spirits were sold almost exclusively The majority of these were in the poorer quarters of Lon- don, in the East End and on the Surrey side of the Thames Alehouses were everywhere, being pretty evenly distribu- ted, but they were more numerous in the better parts of town This seems to throw some light on the habits of the working classes of that time and to dispose of the idea that bar drinking is a modern invention As a matter of fact, the public house was even less a place of real refreshment and more of a mere bar than it is to-day The most striking fact contained in the foregoing figures is the prodigious juantity of spirits consumed In 1685 the distilling business in England received such favorable legislation that it in- creased with incredible rapidity and the product was sold at an astonishing low figure compared with the prices in vogue to-day Up to the latter part of the sev- enteenth century the English lower classes had been almost exclusively beer drinkers, but when the stronger form of alcohol hecame cheap they took to it with avid- ity, and the demand was almost equal to the supply In the course of forty years the amount produced ran up from 500,- 00 to nearly 10,000,000 gallons per an- num, and a great deal was imported in w#ddition At the same time the consump- tion of beer fell off, but not to a corre- sponding extent The list of spirits that were drunk in those days includes thirteen different varieties, but several of them—such as “‘eitron’’ and ‘‘cordial waters,’’ Geneva, Hungary waters, rackee and nsquebaugh —were only consumed in very small quantities These were all imported The British distilleries turned out but three kinds, ‘‘malt spirits,’’ ‘‘cyder spirits,’ and ‘‘molasses spirits,’’ of which the first represented three-fourths of the total spir- ituous consumption It was doubtless what is now known as gin, and it was then the universal drink of the lower classes The only other kinds used in large quantities were foreign brandy and rnin The amount of whiskey--which was known as ‘‘usquebaugh,’’ and was im- ported from Ireland—was very small Gin must have been extraordinary cheap, as it was at this time that the pudlicans hung out the famous sign, **Drunk for one penny; dead drunk for two pence; straw for nothing’’ The truth of this legend has been denied, but it originated with Smollett, the novelist, who lived at that time, and it is backed up by Lecky, the historian, so there is no reason for doubting its accuracy Ho- garth’s Gin lane was less a caricature than a realistic sketch of everyday scenes in the metropolis According to Mr Maitland, who is, as has been said, the best authority extant upon the subject, for he wrote as a sei- entific contemporary observer, the addic- tion of the people to spirits was so gen- eral and so great as to affect the price of food *‘‘The excessive drinking of sptritu- ous liquors,’’ he says, ‘‘has so enervated the stomachs of the populace as to render them incapable of digestion, whereby the appetite is so much depraved that its in- clination to food is lessened and the con sumption of provisions greatly dimin- ished, which has occasioned victuals in- stead of rising to fall in price yery con- siderably, to the no small loss of the landed interest’’ Attempts were made to check the evil by legislation, but at first they were too

able reservoirs of poison. The great life duid, the bloo', is foully cantaminated, and clogged to such an exteut that it cir ulates but luggishly. Instead of carry ng and distributing nourishment to every part Gf the system, the poisoned blood is levelcpirg disease and death.

Why is it that the blood becomes fou! ad jwisoned ? Simply because of de- oility of the nervous system, which ‘eaves he exec'rory-organe so weak that they cannot remove the waste matter, and nox ous seeds remain in the system, carrying leath-ceal ng disease to every tissue of the ody.

I is in the healing and cur'ng of blood- oiso ed men and wemen that Pai: e’: Celery Compound shows its victorious and conquering powers

The great Compound is the only trav wd effective blood cleanser and blood- enricler in the world, and vitalizing and life-giving cffecte have never been ipproached Ly any other medicine.

Salt rheum, ecrofala, erysipelas, aod the most deadly of blood di-eases soon yield to the magival power of Paine’s

Celery Compound. After ths use of a few tiles the life-blood circulates healthily, id gocs on its regu’ar course to heart, ung*, brain and every part cf the body, ‘emoving a] disturbing elements, giving ull spirits, clear end fair ekin, good di: restion and ;e:fect he. Ith. Now is the time to purify and cleans he bloed, so that the whole system may e put ip perfict order to meet the cm ng hot weather. The following letter from Mr. A. E lammond, Mansonville, P. Q, speaks volumes in favor ef the world’s best med- cine : Some five years ago it was my sad mi:- ortune to be sfflicied with ecrofula sores, f which I had five oue leg end three or he other. These were running sores for our years. In addition to this I was akes down with rheumatism in the emall of the back so badby that I could nct ec otf my tee; and to further intensify ny sufferings, I had sick headache in the vorst form.

“While in thie condition, a friend of nine, Mr. Peikins, a merchant of this dace, sold mea bottle of Paine’s Celery ‘ompound, with the express understand ng that if it did me no good [ ehould pay nothing for it.

“In accepting this cfler, I had no idea of ver feeling under any obligation to pay or the Compound, as I had no faith ir ‘s doing me good. To my very great ‘urprise, however, I grew better; and bs the time I had used three bottles I was a vell as ever, and what [ never expected t ee was realized, viz., the sores on my leg vere entirely healed.

Reverence forthe Bible.

There is a sin prevalent in our households of which we take little note, which, in fact, we encourage

either by an indifference to it, or by an active participation in its folly and wickedness; the use of the Word of God for the purpose of making riddles, conundrums, puzzling questions, ana- grams, etc., etc., out of it. If we really believe in the Divine origin of the Bible can it be right to give it to chil- dren that they may construe its words into odd connections, and make sport and laughter and mental legerdemain from its pages? Is it likely they will reverence on other occasions what has previously been food for their amuse- ment? It is not, and we need not be astonished if the boys and girls who have been permitted to turn the leaves of their Bibles for pastime and enter- tainment, turn them in after years to find pretext for their infidelity.—Ame- lia E. Barr, in Ladies’ Home Journal.

WHY CONTEMPLATE SUICIDF.

I. is like tempting Providence for con - ‘aipptives to ignore the remarkable rem- dy she as Miller’s Emulsion of Nor- segian Cod Liver Oil. For any person to lie of consumption without trying this remarkable flesh and blood maker. aiter knowing of its existence, is suicide pure and simple. All that the consumptive satient neelsis new blood with which to nattle against the destructive forces of the lisease. Miller’s Emulsion provides new blood in abundance. It is a combination of Norw:gian oi! and hypophosphites of ‘ime and soda—a triumph of science. Miller’s Emulsion is the great uerve strengthener and blood maker, and cures Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Scrofala and all Lung affections. In big bottles, 50c. and $1, at all drug stores.
