The piblic houses explain a great many of the miseries of the miserable lo cality. There may be some teetotalers, but there are not many, and there are almost m few drinkers who are always moderate in their libations. The curse of bitter beer, raw Scotch whisky and "tuppenny" giu rests h 'avy on the place. Public opinion is no weapon against it, for public opinion openly fa vors drinking whenever one lias the nec essary money and does not regard actual drunkenness as a disgrace worth men tioning. Women drink at tho bars as uncon cernedly as men do, , and barmaids serve them. The barroom is the gossip -plav and babr s and small childrt n are carried to it and kept in it by careful mothers, who gather there for the day's necessary talk. Infants sometimes cry and at such times are permitted a sip from the ma ternal glass, quite as other children are bribed with chocolate drops. Thus blear eyes and drink reddened faces often have early beginnings. The children on the streets are dirty, ragged and vociferous ly happy over small things. Adults are not genuinely happy. There is no reason why they should be. They derive much spasmodio merriment from the public housea Drunkenness and fighting are common everywhere, especially on tho streets. During one noon recess I saw three fights develop among the two dozen employees of a box factory. Nor are the combatants always men or boys. Cen tury. At What Age la Man StrongeHt? The muscles, in common with all the organs of the body, have their stages cl development and decline; our physical strength increases up to a certain age and then decreases. Tests of the strength of several thousands of people have been made by means of a dynamometer (strength measurer) and the following are given as the average figures for the white race : The "lifting power" of a youth of 17 years is 280 pounds; in his twentieth year this increases to 820 liounds, and in the thirtieth and thirty-first years it reaches its height, 35G Tiounds. At the end of tho thirty-first year the strength begins to deeliue, very slowly at first. By tho fortieth year it has decreased eight pounds, and this diminution con tinues at a slightly increasing rate until tho fiftieth year is reached, when the figure is 830 pounds. After this period the strength fails more and more rapidly until the weak ness of old age is reached It is not pos sible to give statistics of the decline of strength after the fiftieth year, as it va nes to a large extent in different indi viduals.
