FROM VARIOUS SOURCES. P bof . O sleb writes to the New York Medical Journal that in ali] the large hospitals of Germany cases of diseases of the heart, coming directly from ex­ cessive use of beer, are common. A W isconsin saloon man refused tq Stop selling liquor to a certain woman’s husband, and she called upon him andi said: “Next time you sell him a drink 1 will come in here with an open lceg of powder and a lighted candle, and you and I and all the rest of the crowd will go up together with a bang.” He tum­ bled.—Detroit Free Press. M b . D. L loyb G eokqe , M. P. for Carnarvon, in contrasting temperance sentiment in the country forty or fifty years ago with the present day, noted the fact that Charles Dickens has not a single teetotaler among his male char­ acters, whereas it would he impossible for a Charles Dickens of our days to ignore them. There were one hundred and sixty teetotalers in thu house of commons, A C incinnati judge says of men who drink from twenty to fifty glasses of beer per day and still apparently keep their heads: “They ore simply be­ numbed with drunkenness, even though they can talk and work, and a w in no sense responsible to tlie law as adults. I could not hold such a man respond* blp any more than if ho had boeq prov­ en idiotic or crazy.” The public must look out for itself. I A ttention is again called by Mr. William LivCsey to the appalling figures of the Irish annual drink bill. • Daring . the past twelve months there has been an increase in the consumption of 466,- 938 gallons of spirits and 118,009 barrels of beer, in Ireland, the total reven­ ue from excise being £4,098,116, which does not toko in illicit stilts. Publio houses arc by far tho most num­ erous in the poverty-stricken localities. T he drinking, chewing and smoking population of the United States spends fifteen hundred millions o f dollars in liquors and tobficcO each year; there is qne rum saloon to every one hundred and seven voters cast of toe Mississippi liver and one to every forty-three voters west of the Mississippi; and two hun­ dred and fifty thousand saloons in these states and territories of the union waste. enough of hard substance to feed, clothe and pay the house rent of every family in United States. Tire report giving the quantity of distilled liquors used in works of art, etc., in Texas shows tha t only 8,191gal­ lons of highwincs were consumed, whereas of sour mash, old, bourbon, rje , and such.Jlkc. ive derotedto a rt during the year 90,800 gallons and Up­ ward. Tho wide difference is readily accounted for when ire remember that only a few drops of wine are needed to make the cheeks red and rosy, biit th a t the young men «a«-a »rhole gallon of low wines to paint the town red after the party break8 UP and they come in from the suburbs.—DallaS'News, DetrV llnd fiecord. Beer is supposed by sOnio to he an In­ nocent and wholeswito-beverage, and it was one* confidentty clsijisad 1 that ,if more hoes were used thcro would h e . less drunkenness.
