SOMETHING ABOUT SPAIN.
The aggregate population of the
kingdom is placed at only 18,000,000,
against 75,000,000, the aggregate
population of the United States.
Not less than 8,727,519 Spaniards
are without either trade or profes
sion. Only 6,104,470, or barely more
than one-third of the aggregate pop
ulation, can read and write. Some
4,861,922 Spaniards are engaged in
agricultural pursuits. There are 43,-
528 priests, friars and church digni
taries.
Spain’s aggregate school attend
ance amounts to only 1,728,920. She
has 97,257 office holders and 91,225
professional beggars.
These figures can safely be relied
upon as accurate. They have been
compiled from the official records by
one of the country’s leading publica
tions, without reference to the exist
ing crisis and for commercial pur
poses exclusively.
In addition to the weakness which
these figures represent there is seri
ous domestic strife in Spain at this
time. Under such conditions, can
Spain with any confidence, expect to
vie successfully with the United
States, whose population aggregates
some four times that of hers, and
whose strength is undivided and
Gibraltar-like ?
A FEW LICKS IN THE NECK.
Robbing bees in the daytime is
not the only thing Brother Thomas
can do with neatness. He can think
red-hot English and can manage to
put his ideas into reading. Some
time since Brother Mincy, a Tate
deputy postmaster at Jasper, ac
cused Brother Thomas of having
sold out to Thompson. The follow
ing is Brother Thomas’s reply. For
vigor and lucidity we commend it as
a classic :
Tate’s henchman simply lies, and
he knows it, when he even intimates
that we ever said one word to him
(Tate’s benchman) about selling out
to Hon. Howard Thompson or any
one else. We would not be afraid to
wager that proof sufficient could be
adduced against the Tate henchman
that the reported “knock down and
robbery” at Wadley was a concocted
game of the d. p. m. to cover tracks
—it did not work, did it, benchman ?
Talk about the proof against the
Spaniards in the Maine disaster, that
is not a drop in the bucket. Tate’s
hpncbman is not making his owner
any votes by attacking the editor of
the Advertiser. If Carter can stand
it we'can, coming from the source it
does and through Tate’s own paper.
Let Tate’s henchman tell his read
ers something of the robbery at
Wadley. Tell them about leaving
Wadley between two suns. Tell of
his escape from justice through the
agency of borrowed money of rela
tives —it might interest them more
than abusing us.
Go make a reputation, prove your
self worthy of attention and then we
will consider your case.
ALL SORTS OF WAR.
A circus man has offered the sec
retary of war a herd of twenty-five
elephants for war purposes. The
animals, it is claimed, are all veterans
of wars, having been employed in
fighting in the Punjab and elsewhere.
It is not thought probable that the
government will put an elephant
brigade in the field; at the same
time it is not to be lost sight of that
elephants have been used as war
steeds from time immemorial, and
that Great Britain now employs
them in her far eastern campaigns.
Should the United States determine
to invade Cuba, an elephant troop,
the animal carrying rapid-fire guns
on their backs, might be found very
effective.

The Dog Law In Norway.
We do not believe that the coun
try will ever be free from rabies
until far more stringent measures
have been adopted. The danger
arises mainly from stray curs of un
certain ownership and from dogs
which, although they might be
claimed by’ somebody, are not prop
erly’ cared for by their proprietors.
We should like to see the dog tax in
creased in amount, with due indul
gence to person who require dogs
for purposes or persons who require
dogs for the issue of receipts in the
form of collar badges, the color of
which might be varied every year,
and which would enable a policeman
to see at a glance whether the tax
for any particular dog had been
paid. If it had not, the dog should
be summarily destroyed.
By the strict enforcement of such
a system we should obtain a state of
things analogous to that which ex
ists in Norway, where not only is
rabies unknown, but where the dogs
seen in the street are handsome,
well bred and well cared for ani
mals, not sufficiently numerous to
be the nuisances they often are in
London. The Norwegians adopt
very stringent precautions with re
gard to dogs imported into their ter
ritory, insisting upon ample certifi
cation of health, and also, we be
lieve, upon a period of quarantine,
and, even in that most democratic
country, we have never heard that
the control of canine hygiene is vest
ed in local authorities, which would
be liable, in this matter, as in many
others, to oscillate between unrea
soning indulgence and unreasoning
panic.—Loudon Hospital.
A Korean Procession.
The procession of the king was led
by the general of the vanguard, su
perbly dressed, supported by retain
ers on his led pony and followed by
crowds of dignitaries, each with his
train, soldiers, men carrying aloft
frames of arrows reaching nearly
across the road, and huge flags of
silk brocade surmounted by plumes
of pheasants; servants in rows of
100 in the most delicate shades of
blue, green or mauve silk gauze over
white; halberdiers, grandees, each
with a retinue of banner men; rows
of royal banner men, carrying yel
low and blue silk flags emblazoned;
cavalrymen iir imitation gold hel
mets and mediaeval armor, and tiger
hunters wearing coarse felt black
hats with conical crowns and dark
blue coats, trailing long guns.
With scarcely a pause followed
the president of the foreign office,
high above the crowd on a monocy
cle, a black wheel supporting on two
uprights a black platform carrying
a black chair decorated with a leop
ard’s skin, the occupant of which
was carried by eight men at a height
of 8 feet from the ground. * * *
After this, borne high aloft by 40
bearers clothed in red, in a superb
chair’ of red lacquer, richly tasseled
and canopied, and with wings to
keep off the sun, came the king,
whose pale, languid face never
changed its expression as he passed
with all the dignity and splendor of
his position through the silent
crowd.—“ Korea and Her Neigh
bors,” by Mrs. Bishop.
Daudet, Deodat, David.
My name seems to indicate that I
descend from the Moorish settlers of
Provence,for as you know Provencal
people are largely of Moorish ex
traction. Indeed it is from that cir
cumstance that I have drawn much
of the humor of my books, such aS
“Tartarin.” It is funny, you know,
to hear of men with bushy black
beards and flaring eyes—like bandits
and wild warriors—who are, the
one a peaceful baker, the other the
least offensive of. apothecaries. I
myself have the Moorish type, and
my name, “Daudet,” according to
the version which I like best, is the
Moorish for “David.” Half my
family is called “David.” Others
say that “Daudet” means “Deodat,”
which is a very common name in
Provence, and which, derived from
Deo datus, means given to God.—

THE COMBINE AGAINST CANDLER.
People of Georgia believe in fair
ness. It is not fair for two candi
dates to combine against one. And
yet that is being done. A supporter
of Atk’nson for governor in Elber
ton said a few days ago that he
would see to it that there would he
no Atkinson tickets voted if Berner
had a show to carry the county —no
Berner tickets be cast if Atkinson
had the best chance of defeating
Candler. In Elbert county, we be
lieve Candler will double the com
bined vote of both his opponents,
but in some close counties the friends
of the two dromios may be ab'e by
similar methods to defeat the cham
pion of lower taxes, the exponent
of honest politics and clean methods,
and a believer in a fair fight.—El

NUMBER 17.
WORLD’S DRINK STATISTICS.
Englishmen Are Greater Beer Drinkers
Than Germans.
The country owes thanks to Sir
Courtenay Boyle. Most blue books
are dry, and but few of us care to
master their contents. Sir Courtenay
Boyle has succeeded, however, m
producing one that might almost be
described as fascinating—the drink
statistics of the civilized world, or,
to give it its official and rather long
winded title, “The Production and
Consumption of Alcoholic Bever
ages” (wine, beer, spirits).
A study of the paper leads to one
conclusion—namely, that not only
will people drink as long as they can
afford to pay for it, but that they
will drink. France produces ten
times as much wine as Germany; it
also exports ten times as much, and
yet more German wine is imported
into the United States than French
wine. The answer is obvious; there
are in the States many successful
German settlers, and they, having
the money, will have hock of the
fatherland no matter what they pay
for it. Thus also in prosperous Bel
gium people put scarcely any’ limit
on themselves in the matter of drink,
and whether it be beer or spirits
Belgium stands at the head in the
matter of consumption per head,
while even as regards wine,although
it is not a wine producing country,
the inhabitants consume as much as
do the Germans, whose country is
wine producing.
One point that is brought out very
clearly in these tables is the fact
that the drink trade is almost every
where a home industry—that is,
that by far the greater proportion of
the drink consumed is made in the
country consuming it. We in Eng
land import so much wine and bran
dy’ from the continent that we are
perhaps not altogether in a position
to realize the fact, and yet even in
England by far the greater portion
of the drink consumed is home
made. This is proved by the relative
proportions of the customs receipts
from imported liquors. The cus
toms receipts amount to £5,500,000
and the excise receipts to £27,000,-
000, or in the proportion of 17 per
cent to 83 per cent in favor of the
homemade. Perhaps very few real
ize to how great an extent France is
the groat wine producing and also
the great wine consuming country
of the world. The statement that
the quantity of wine annually drunk
in the United Kingdom, Germany
and the United States, which, taken
altogether, have a population of
150,000,000 souls, barely exceeds a
tenth part of what is consumed in
France, with its 38,000,000 inhabit
ants, enables us to more fully rec
ognize the fact. Many, moreover,
will be surprised to find that the con
sumption per head of beer in this
country exceeds that of Germany,
for while the German drinks 25 gal
lons per annum the Englishman
drinks 30 gallons. In both countries
the consumption of beer is distinctly
on the increase.
The following is an interesting
fact taken at hazard: Seventy-seven
gallons of beer are consumed in this
country for every gallon of wine
that is drunk. Could any clearer
proof be wanting that it is the mass
es who drink, not the classes !
Scarcely the seventh part of a bot
tle of champagne per head is drunk
per annum by the inhabitants of
this country, in the United States
scarcely the twentieth part.—Pall
Mall Gazette.
The Gladstone Oyster House.
In the jubilee year (1887) the pro
prietress of the little restaurant se
cured a colored almanac showing
the portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Glad
stone. Though she did not know
who the old couple portrayed were
she admired the picture and placed
it in the shoji window. Some time
afterward Mr. Gladstone visited
Mumbles, and on being told that the
old gentleman pictured on the al
manac was the same as the distin
guished visitor, the proprietress
said, “Well, he’s a nice looking old
gentleman, and if he’ll come here
I’ll give him a dish of oysters.”
This happened to reach the ears
of Mr. Gladstone, and with a dis
tinguished company, including Mrs.
Gladstone, the then Lord Swansea,
Lord Aberdare and Lord Kensington,
he hastened to apply for the prom
ised meal. Though the guests were,
of course, entirely unexpected, they
were regaled with oysters, bread
and tea, and it is on record that the
ex-premier did bis duty bravely.
On leaving, the company shook
bands with their hostess, and the
grand old couple promised to send
their photographs on their return to
Hawarden, which they did.
The chairs occupied by the nota
ble guests are now labeled with
their respective names and a sign
board outside the shop informs all
and sundry of the event.—London
Mail.
