There nre not quilo 11,000,000 persons In the ViwU'tl Kingdom, but they an- nually s|jend for spirituous liquors a 6uin equal to 1^ times the national rev- enue, or to uU the rents of all the homes end farms in the country, says the Craftsman. The public-house, the Eng- lish name for the sal<x)n with its bar- iinaid, is a.s much a national institution [as the house of Parliament. Tlicre is Wrc public-house to every 300 inhabi- Innts ill England and Wales; in Scol- Itnd, oiw to every 566 persons; in Ire- 'liind, one to every 271. I Whereas, in the days of our fore- fathers, tlie worst drinking was among lilt" nobility and gentry, to-day the jwor Jjid worliing classes are by far tlie most intemperate, i.ie fact thai drink- ing is habitual among the women < ' Ihls grade as well as the men is the most serious feature, for when women d<j go to the dogs the very uttermost llephts of degradation are usually reaeh- lil before the end comes. At meal times, throughout the United Kingdom, a procession of women with -pilcliers, buckets or cans may be seen going to some one of the many public- h<iuses, never more Ihaji a stone's throw from tlioir homes, end often not so far. 'As a rule, the omnibus, the favorite British mode of local transportation, has stopping places in front of publio- h<'uses. From an outaide seat on the tus lop, especially in I^nUon and other cities, a full view may be had of the interior of the public-house, crowded ilways, luid on Saturday nights jammed lo the point of suffocation. Old women, y<.ung wtjinen, girls are there: Tuothers with infants in arms, and not uncotn- iii<inly Willi other children lugging at ttieir skirlsâ€" little ones whose fretful cries are stilled by sips fixiin mother's glass of gin. Workiiigmen drink just as n\uch as li'c working women. A manufacturer, (in employer of hundreds of men, was nsked if ICnglish manufactui'crs ever j.iade any restrictions about drinking wlicn Inking on new men. Ills reply was, "No, for II woukl be impossible lo carry on business if such conditions were imp-ised.' IIo was almost in- credulous wlicn told of the strict regu- lations in regard lo drinking that ob- tain in so?m; of America's largest busi- ness eslublishnicnls. SENSE OK HUiin IN ANTS, Experiincnis Indicalinu That They Don't Deiiend on Smell. The <ild theory that anks could nol see and wei-o guided entirely by sense of smell has been demolished by a series of experiments reported in the Hevuo .Scientilique. A little platform of card- board was set up near one of tlieir nests with inclim-d plane leading conveniently down lo the entrance. Then a number of the insects and a quantity of their eggs were placed upon the platform. I''or a few minutes the ants .seeuKxi greally [crturlH-d, but they very soon fcuiul the inclined piano and at once slartiHl carryuig the eggs down il to the nest. A seixind inclined plane was located on the opposite side of the platfonn, but they t<x)k no notice of it. The experi- nieiit<TS then twisted the platform ar<imd so that the s«.-cond plane [xjinted t.> the nest entrance. Without hesilation the ants cease<l using llio old plane and took to llie new one, showing conclusively, it is argued, that they were nol following a trail by scent but were gelling their bearings by some other sense. Tlie next step was to mark some of the ants with a view to seeing whether each iiKlividual always used tlie same path and tlic same entrance to his nest. It was found that no such thing was the cn.se. They all seemed to know all the en- trances and lo have a sense of their direction. They struck out new paths for them.st'lves and always reached llicir destination without fall. This was re- garded as establishing some form of vision. Finally, an electric -bulb was set up near one entrance to tlie nest. It .<«^med '.â- ) have un immediate nttraotion for the ants, as they unanimously used the en- trance on that side coming lo and go- ing from the nest. Then it was changed over to the other side, causing great excitement apparently among the in- secks, which ended in their changing over to the newly illuminated way. Changes in the brilliancy of the light seemed lo have no perceptible effect on the aiils, but they never failed to delect tho change of direclion. All possible precautions were taken lo prev<>nl the heal fron> the lamp from retiehing them, so thai it is regarded as certain that they perceived the light.

'"D'you ever se<; such weather as â-  this?' says the dismal man, wearily, shedding more sultriness all around. "'Didn't you feel that breeze?' says the Cfieerful man, smiling, and as a matter of fact there was the faintest flicker of ;» movement in the air jusl at that mo- nitnt, and he caught it, becau.se he is Irecejitive to all good Ihint^s; and be jiiiagnilicd il lo all hjs hearers by his ' trei zy eheerf u 1 ness.

I'whal's that?' and he nclually laughs at this iillle picayune trouble, and just blushes it nwny and forgets it, making the faint hoarled to laugh and forget W, loo; and in lime he may bring the t'asily dl'icouraged man to acquire the blessed Iwbit of lauglwng at all the petty troubles that pop out at us on jihe road of life, and so driving them joway, instead of gloomily letting them .climb on him to ride on his back.
