s TEMPERANCE NOTES. h i g h l y - s e a s o n e d f o o d , th e Danger That Ides In Fanciful t'ook- Splws and condiments ip. the season­ ing of food also lead to intemperance in the cultivation o f an abnormal taste for hot, smarting substances. They create a craving- for more food than can be digested, and for liquors as well. Per* Ikons who do not lenow how to cook, seek to make their cookery palatable by using spices and condiments to hide de­ fects. Good cookery consists in increas­ ing the digestibility and improving tbe .palatableness o f food. Bad cookery ignores the natural flavors o f foods and i adds a variety, o f high seasonings which render it still more indigestible than the unskilled preparations would be with­ out them. The more' serious reason why high seasonings should lead to in­ temperance is in the perversion o f the sense o f taste. Certain senses are given to ns to add to our pleasure as well as for the practical use they are to us. For instance, the sense of sight is not only useful but enables us toudrink in beauty without doing us any harm. The same o f musie and other harmonies which may come to us through the sense o f hearing, lin t the -sense o f taste was given to distinguish between wholesome and unwholesome foods, and can not he used for merely sensuous gratification without debasement and malting it a gross thing. An education which de­ mands enjoyment or pleasure through the sense of taste is wholly Artificial; it • is coming down to the animal plane or below it, for the instinct o f the brute creation teaches it merely to eat to live. How widespread is this habit o f sens­ uous gratification through taste. We call upon a neighbor and are offered re­ freshments, as,though the greatest bless­ ings of life came from indulging the dp- petite, This evil is largely due to wrong -education which begins in childhood. When Johnnie sits down to the table the mother says: “ Johnnie, what would you like?” instead o f putting plain, wholesome food before him,' expecting him to eat it and’be satisfied. It sets the child to thinking that he must have what he likes whether it is good for him or not. ft is not strange that an appe­ tite pampered in this way in chiklhdod becomes uncontrollable at maturity, and the step from gormandizing to in toxicants is much shorter than most people imagine. - The natural, unper verted taste o f a child will lead him to eat that which is good fo r him. But how can we expect the children to re­ form when the parents1continually set them such bad examplis in the matter of eating and drinking? The cultivation o f a taste for spices is a degradation o f the sense of taste. Nature never- designed that pleasure should be divorced from use. flhe effects o f gratifying the sense o f taste differ materially from those o f gratify­ ing the higher sensei like sight and hearing. What we see is gone, n/nd the same is true o f the sweetest sounds which may reach its through the car. But what we taste is swallowed into the stomach, and what 1ms thus given us brief pleasure through the gratification o f the palate must make work in the alimentary cunal for fourteen- hours be­ fore i t is finally .disposed of.—Woman’s News. A' R E S T R IC T IV E LEG ISLAT ION . * The Good Accomplished by Legal Ke- etrictlou In Norway., Mr. Joseph Malins reports that Nor­ way, onfie flooded with spirits, has, by restrictive legislation and total absti­ nent efforts during a long series of years, reduced theirconsumption, per head, Of intoxicants by more than one- lialf, and thereby effected a vast reduc­ tion in intemperance and crime, etc. Sweden, too, cursed about half a centu­ ry ago with 170,000 domestic stills, sup­ pressed household distillation, and gave such local option to town and county municipalities us enabled the Gothen- hurgh town council to take over the drink shops, . suppreas one-half of them, enact Kunday^blosing and early week-day closing—7 or 8 p. m., accord­ ing to season—and to carry on the trade through a “ Jlolng,” which has to apply all surplus profits fo r the common benefit* as for education, etc. In Christiania, as in other parts, the. municipality prohibit the sale of spirits, save to hotel guests, on Satur­ day, at 7 p. m., till Monday, at 8 a. m., and are-now being moved to similarly limit the sale o f beer and wine. In Denmark, they h ive, until the last dozen years, almost allowed free trade in spirits; this resulting in an enormous consumption and Corresponding evils, which they have o f late sought to cheek by enacting that the drink sale must cease at midnight* tluft no females should he employed as barmaids^ and that publicans must furnish carriages tc convey intoxicated customers home oi to the police station. Each o f these Scandinavian countries has long had total abstinence leagues, and has at least an aggregate o f 00,000 Good Templars in 1*200 branches besides “ Ilia Bandet” (Blue Bibbon) Societies, and, latterly, Women’s Temperance Unions also. Denmark’s possession, Iceland, is also prolific o f Temperance effort* its Good Templar Grand Lodge having been instituted in its Parliament House.—-National Bulletin.

PROFIT IN DRINKS, How fhu Haloon»K«>e]i«*i» iUeeil* Ills Cos* lornc>r$. There is a pretty fair margin o f profit to the saloon-keeper in most of the drinks lu> dispensed, particularly in the “ mixed” drinks ami in cordials, though even ordinary beer, 'vine and whisky yield what ought to be considered a satisfactory return upon the investment made in. them. It is a remarkable thing that a glass of- brandy and soda rarely costs less than 25 cents,and usual­ ly .from 10 to 50 cents,, though only a thimbleful of brandy is involved, and the remainder is seltzer, which , costs at retail 8 cents a quart. Braiidy costs from SI to $5 a bottle at retail, but high-priced brandy does not figure ex­ tensively behind bars. The average retail price o f the brandy used is per­ haps about Sl.50 a bottle. I t -costs the saloon-keeper perhaps half o r .three- quarters o f this amount. There are forty “ drinks" o f this brandy in a bot­ tle^ Four cents,, therefore, is a liberal estimate of the cost o f a “ brandy,” and one usually gets no better quality of liquor at 50 cents than at 25 cents. The difference usually involved is in the character arid splendor o f the saloon. For w h isky -‘plain” from 10 cents to 25 cents is charged. For 10-cent whisky and vermouth one usually must pay 25 cents, though the whisky retails at §1 to $1.50 a bottle, arid ■vermouth retails at 50 cents. Plain vermouth is rated with the,, cordials generally,.and costs from 15 cents to 25 a “ thimbleful.” As there are sixty such “ drinks” in a bottle, the extreme limit o f profit in vermouth is $14.50 on a 50-cent investment. The cordials cost from $1.50 to $1.75 for a bottle containing from forty to sixty “ drinks,” which are sold generally at 25 cents each, though in some of the swell places f)5 cents is charged. The average cocktail, sold for from 15 cents to 25 cents costs from 2 to 4 cents. The ordinary hotel claret costs 80, cents a gallon, or about 8 cents for a small bot­ tle, for which the hotel charges you from 00 cents to $1. Often the only dif­ ference between the first three or four “ varieties” of hotel claret is In the label and tbe price: charged. A really good California claret—such as is sold at most hotels and clubs as “ St. Julian," under a beautifully gilded and beflourished label—costs only $l,a gallon, and infe­ rior varieties can be luid at 80 cents, 00 cents, and 50 cents a gallon.—N.

A LCOHO L IN AFR ICA , The Deadly Effects o f Strong Drink in the i . ■ Tropics. Sobriety of life is an absolute neces­ sity if you wish to live long and well in Africa. In fact, the safest general rule would be to abandon the- consumption o f all forms of alcohol whatever from the day that you land on African soil, unless wines,- spirits or beer are actqal- ly forced on you by a qualified doctor as a necessary medicine. I f you are really ill and are positively ordered to drink some form of alcohol it should not be drunk until after sundown. Alcohol taken during the daytime in Africa is simply poison to a white man—an in­ sidious poison if you like, and one that often disguises its effects, so that a care­ less observer might attribute them to other causes—but a deadly poison all the same, and perhups -the more deadly because the punishment if inflicts is.not readily recognizable. Unfortunately, especially among tbe British, alcoholic excess! is terribly prevalent; I mean what may be called excess in /^irlca, but what in England would be looked upon us tbe allowance o f a temperate, sober man. And that is where so many good men go wrong. They can not bo brought to understand that bccauso they do not drink till they get drunk, and because what they arts Liking for their daily consumption in Africa is not a drop more than they consumed in En­ gland, they are nevertheless exceeding, and piling up in their systems a store of poison which will either result in a ter­ ribly sudden death or the shattering o f their health.—H. II. Johnston, in Fort­ nightly Review. SH O R T SPEC IALS.* I t is estimated that a saloon-keeper can live aiid even get rich if he has twenty “ regular customers.” Of course the list has to be recruited often, as when the old customer gets to be a bum his patronage is no longer profitable. It is then that the boys of the family are gathered in.—Inter Ocean. T he Order of llechabites, a large Temperance society in England, rejoices in the returns given at its late annual conference, showing an increase of 10,- 010 members during the year 1890. This is all the more, encouraging, as it is a benefit club as well as a total abstinence society. W b figure that if all the dollars spent fpr liquor in this country during the last thirty years were piled on top of each other there would be a Solid silver wall one mile high and over one jnllo long or enough to pave a standard gauge single track railroad from Chi­ cago to St. Paul, four hundred and ten miles.—'The Lever. A public discussion, recently took place at Lewiston, Ale., between a Methodist minister and a liquor dealer on the Temperance question resulting, o f course, in the discomfiture o f the lat- ter. Such a discussion is hardly fair, as there really is but one side to the question; but if anybody really thinks that side is the liquor side, by all means give him ample chance in public dis­ cussion to vindicate his views, for even if he himself can not be convinced, there arc likely to be others who may he brought to hatter views, N ot » heart disease—Flirting. / Cow catchers—Farmers’ boys.
