PROHIBITION IN ARABIA. ^ goaiitry Wherw Total Absttnane* 3BCa« Been l*r*etleed for CeoturlM. The ancients linfi a proverb to the ef* >tthat “mills is the wine pf youth and ,ethe milk of old agp,MThat ahsurd go has been mode the teat of nu- ^jaerous dissertations in defense of the ' world drink habits. “America,” paid apologists, “is a ydung country, jeering,its inhabitants sufficient excite' mint in the form of adventures in the struggle with the perils of the wilder- ness and of manifold inducements.to activity and enterprise. The older civ­ ilised nations, on the other hand, need $n artificial stimulus to prevent the stagnation of their vital spirits.” .Such sophists ought to visit'Arabia, ; the ancient home of total abstinence Tire Mohammedans date the triumph of their religion from , the year 038, though the complete conversion of the Arabian peninsula was not accom- ’plisbcd before _ tbe pud of the ,seventh century. ' But under the Calif- ate of Omar prohibition of intoxicating beverages wps enforced throughout the Moslem dominions, and since that time the followers of Islam, with the ra re s ; exceptions, have remained total ab­ stainers in all continents and all climes. I t would he a mistake to suppose' that the Mohammedan Scriptures interdict wine alone and permit other, noxious stimulants- Wme-drinking, indeed, had become a synonym °f the poison-habit, but the precepts of tho Koran are com­ prehensive enough to answer all the practical purposes of Temperance: “Aroidi'jirimkenness;” “Renounce the Vice of Intoxication.’’ The Wahabites, or Mohammedan Protestants, as they have been called, on account of their reform doctrines, ' make, indeed, tbe Koran their warrant for prohibiting coffee and tobacco, as well as wine and brandy, and the opium excesses of the t modern Turks have never been sanc- 1 .tioneti by the strict expounders of their faith, Tn tha t part of Aroby.known as Arabia.Felix (the hill, country in the south of the peninsula) grapes flourish in hundreds of gardens, bu t the crop is gathered .exclusively fd rtim sake o f the raisins, and tho natives actually dis­ pense with all fluid stimulants, except coffee; yet' the effects of tha t abstemi- ousnefe eatt by no means be traced'in their lack of mental energy. “What struck me most in the character of the t nation,” says the traveler, Burkhardt, ~who visited every p a r t of the peninsula, “is the dignified bearing of their poor and the Vivacity Of their old men. P a ­ triarchs of sixty or seventy years will enter with, unaffected pleasure Into the .spirit of th e liveliest conversation; will bandy ’-repartees, -.with- a precocious youngster, or shake with laughter a t the xebitai of a practical joke. So uni­ versal i s that disposition among the graybearda both of the wellrto-do class­ es and of the poorest, th a t I can not help thinking the lack of mental baoy- *nce ainphg th e aged persons of out; own nation must be due to some cause besides the depressing influence oflong- continued drudgery.” Can there be much doubt th a t .that other cause" is the lethsrgizing after­ effect of habitual intoxication? Wine and brandy stimulate or rather irritatet but eventualiy blont the mental ener­ gies, and' the Arabs escape th a t cause d vital exhaustion in spite o f their torrid climate, and in spite of their ra the r far-going habit of early marriage.

During the long period from the end of the eighth to the middle of the thirteenth centmy, when every sovereign of Christian Spain was at daggers drawn with his Moorish neighbors, the fame pf the Moslem highischools frequently induced Chris­ tian noblemen to send their sons to Cor­ dova and Toledo, and history records the name of more than one JSforfhSpan­ ish mouarchwho obtained a safe conduct for his own person, or a near relative in .order to consult a Moorish physician of international fame, - I f it Were not for the culture of Arab Spain, onemight, indeed, often' be tempted to doubt tlmprogi-ess of mankind during the Thousand years’ interval from the downfall ,of Rome to the discovery of America, but even the chronicles of hostile historians make it'probable that the'kingdom of the Cordova Califs was in several essential respects a more civ­ ilized country than the Empire'of the Roman Ciesars. • Industry and agricult­ ure flourished iu the valley of the Guadalquivir as they never flourished anywhere in Italy or Greeoe; medicine, astronomy, geography and mathematics reached a summit then attained fdr the first time in the history of science, ahd the culture of the magnificent Moorish cities was not defiled by orgies of vice and intemperance. ••’Their kingdomper­ ished, bu t they can boast that under their rule the Spanish peninsula en­ joyed a degree of prosperity pot equalled before or after; and the same claim might be justly advanced by the '-Arabian colonists of large portions of Eastern Africa and Central Asia. Eight hundred years ago a Chinese Emperor imported.an army of Arab auxiliaries fyho, in compensation'for theirBervices, were permitted to colonize the Prov­ ince of Yunnn, and that colony, in the extreme west of the Chinese Empire, has ever since remained exempt to a re­ markable degree from the famines, in­ surrections and other calamities of its eastern neighbors.
