There ynteced the front door of a car

stooii-sliouldered eliaji, been who looked as
though he might have a deacon of
some ohtiroh in Wisconsin. He held be¬
hind him one of his hands in which was
tightly grasped the nook of a suspicious
looking black bottle,and after glancing
through (he car with eager gaze, ho
qiliekly “fs there asked. anybody in here who

'For a moment no one answered, and
then a clerical looking young man
looked up ami nodded his head. Tho
tall young man, with his hands still be¬
hind him, shullied slowly down the aisle
and stopped who suddenly liiuf by the side of tho
modest iutn mutely replied to
his query and said :
. “Ho you from Oshkosh ?”
“I live there,” was the quiet, his answer.
Stooping down fellow's and placing mouth
to tlie young ear, the old man
hoarsely “fth'y, whispered:
stranger, just lend us your
oofkaerciv, will you ?”

Bkf.k as an article of diet has been
discontinued in nt least 27 pauper lunatic
Hsylums in England, with the result that
in no instance ha i the apparently impor¬
tant change led to any sort of physiologi¬
cal inconvenionco. Many of tho super¬
intendents, in whose asylums the modi¬
fication was made, and through them
many of the patients testify cordially to
the benefits dorivod from tho change.
The question, says the Journal of Mental
8cionce, is not one of toetotalism, or even
primarily of a financial order, but one of
pure exjiediency and good management.
In all probability tho disuse of beer as
an element of tlie diet of pauper lunatics

tended and will be watched with in¬

of fact, there has been an actual increase
of s ime 33,000,000. This apparent dis¬

the population of China has heretofore

to our own country tht. statistics show
that no country in tho history of tlie
