and making terrible efforts to extricate
himself. The elderly lady mounted
the trap and the daughter-in-law,
at a few paces distant, placed the contents
of the rifle into old bruin's brain.
At the crack of the gun the old lady

London Increases its population by
46,000 every year. It has 1,000 ships
and 10,000 sailors in its port every
day. Its beer shops and liquor saloons
would, if placed side by side, foriu a
row seventy-eight miles long. Thirtyeight
thousand drunkards are brought
before its magistrates every year, and
every Sunday seventy miles of open
shops invite the purchaser to enter.
At the recent opening of a new addition
to the London Temperance Ho pital?an
establishment started to test
the question as to the value of alcohol
in the treatment of disease?it was
stated that in only three out of upward
of 3000 cases last year had
alcohol been used. In these throe
cases no sensible benefit had resulted,
while the average mortality in the
hospital since 1873 had been but five
per cent. The number of patients
treated since the commencement was
22,500.
The whale fishery on the coast of
Maine has come to an end. It not only
proved an unprofitable industry, but
the stench from the factories at Boothbay
and Bristol was intolerable. The
whales found off the coast were plenty
in number, and were easily captured
with bomb lances. While the blubber
of an Arctic whale is generally two
feet in thickness, that of the humpbacks,
which is the species found on
the Maine coast, rarely, if ever, exceeds
three inches. The yield of a humpback
is some twenty to thirty barrel
and is a low-grade oil. During the existence
of the industry nearly one
hundred whales have been shot. Three
steamers were employed and nearly
one hundred ruen. The capital invested
in steamers, factories, etc., was
$30,000.

The United Kingdom leads the world as
a beer manufacturing natioD. From recent
estimates the annual brew of the
United Kingdom is 35,000,000 barrels.
Germany produces 33,000,000 birrcls,
United ocatcs 10,000,000, Austria-Hungary
10,000,000, Belgium 8,000,000,
France 7,000.000, and all other countries
10,000,000 barrels, or a total lor-the
world of 124,000,000 barrels. Old Gambrinus
could not wish for a better showing.
But beer is not the only beverage drank
in the United States and Europe. Tne
nations which use the least beer arc often
the largest spirit consumers, According
to the report of the federal council of
Switzerland that hitherto model republic
is wofully intemperate. So is Denmark
and the Netherlands. The following
table shows the annual consumption per
capita in the various countries of spirits, *
wine and beer, by quarts and decimals
of quarts;
Spirits. Wine. Beer.
Denmark 19.84 1.05 34.99

United States 5.02 2.77 32.80
Norway 4.09 1.05 16.00
Canada 3.25 . 30 8.93
An analysis of the figures above shows
that Denmark is the largest consumer of
spirits and Canada the smallest. In the
consumption of wines France is far ahead
of the others, and Canada again the lowest.
In the beer column Belgium is first,
Great Britain second and Germany third.
Switzerland is third in the consumption
of spirits, second in the consumption of
wine and fourth in the consumption of
beer.
In France there are a score of different
kinds of cordials which are largely
drank and which were not included in
the estimate of consumptiou; neither
was the "vinde sucre," of which 22,000,
000 gallons are annually consumed oy ine
French people.
The position of the United States, as
the eleventh in the consumption of spirits
and seventh in the consumption of
wine, is somewhat weakened by its coming
in as the sixth in the consumption of
beer.
Longstreet's Story Abont Stephens.
General Longstreet tells the following
good story: "On one occasion certain of
the Confederate leaders were discussing
the matter of putting the negroes into
the army. I was against the policy, but
those above me sent me over to Aleck
Stephens with instructions to try to convert
him to the policy of putting the negroes
in. I rode over from camp to
where Ms. Stephens was, and after a
short conversation brought up the subject
I was to speak with him on. No
sooner had I done so than he hopped up
