    THE PEOPLE WHO DRINE.
The Result of Observations at First
elass Bars.
From the New York Sun.
PliyaieiaiiH say that nearly two
thirds of their male pntients stifler in
one way or another from alcoholic
pnison.
Nft clopo c bserrer will be disposed
to doubt thi?.
From the low shops on South and
West streets, along the lint of more
fashionable saloons on and near
Broadway, in the vicinity of the old
Post Office, in the gilded rtreats that
gird the Astor House, in theueveral
places of note on Printing House
square, In the cozy boudoirs of Union
square, and in the magnificent mar
ble palaces that fringe Madison pquare,
not omitting the frescoed club room
and the dimzy slop shops of the ex
treme east side from the flrtt to the
last, and iu them all. the same story
of intemperance may he learned.
Afld who are the drinkers?
Boys, young men, middle-aged men
and old men.
They all drink.
Two young men meet in the lobby
of a theatre, "What'll you take?" is
the first aud commonest salutation.
They adjourn to a barroom and drink.
As the one pays, the other looks at
his watch and says, "Just time for an
other. Repeat" and both drink
again.
At each fail of the curtain at least
one-half of all the men rise, push out.
and hurry for a drink.
This is no exaggeration. We all
know it and mttuy of us do it.
I went into the basement of one of
Gotham's greatest architectural piles
this morning, and stood at the end of
the counter, half an hour, to see what
was done.
There were four bartenders, all bus
fly engaged.
In that brief time they sold to ail
sorts and conditions of men two hun
dred beers, thirty-two whiskeys, ten
lemonades, two plain seltzers, and
three gin cocktails.
It was an exceptionally busy half
hour, to be sure ; but as I took my seat
at a little table near the counter, I no
ticed in the next half hour, and made
a memorandum to guard against mis
takes, a sale of one hundred and thir
ty beers, fifty whiskeys, and six gin
cocktails. '
The tnenr who drank were not
"bums.''
Very many of them are known to
the world of politics, several are noted
writers, the City Hall furnished its
quoto, some do business in the swamp,
and not one seemed iu the least de
gree affected by what he drauk.
Leaving this place, I went to an
other Baloon, equally well known,
whose proprietors pay an annual rent
of $60,000 for premises which are kept
open from 8 o'clock iu the morning
until 7 in the evening.
Standing by a little cigar case which
Is placed at one side of the room I de
voted half an hour to a close count of
the drinks and drinkers.
There were three barkeeper, and
they had all they could do to attend
promptly to the customers.
One company of six young men
tlra nk six times iu less than fifteen
minutes, and each took his whiskey
straight.
In half an hour's time that bar sold
ninety-eight whiskeys, four ginger
ales, three ciders, aud fourteen gin
cocktails.
The men who drank were respecta
ble men of business, a few literary
' people, and two or three persons who
might have been truckmen or me
chanics. Xone of them showed the effects of
their drink.
As I went out I taid to one of the
six young men who drank eix times,
"What are you drinking so much for
to-day?'1
"Oh, nothing." lie replied . "I did
n't Intend to. Charisy and I went in
fur -an oyster, and wereordering when
thoee four fellows from Albany came
along. Cbarley asked 'era to drink,
nnrl nno fnllntcorl f htlor
That's the'history of many a spree.
The spreer doesn't intend to go off,
hut meeting a friend the- one- tempts
the other.
Returning to the saloon I visited
first, I ordered a lunch, and was soon
joined I alway am by an acquaint
ance, who. of course, said, "What'll
you take?"
Being in a takiug mood, I said I
would try a glass of rye. He took the
same. Having said "How," and emp
tied our glasses, I said, "Rufe, what
did you drink that whiskey for? Do
you like it?"'
"No, I don't like it. I'm drinking
too much, too. Guess I'll pull up."
"Well, tell me, what did you order
it for ?"
"Why, for sociability's sake, Psup
pose. What did you drink it for?"
"Because I wanted to ask ju3t this
question. I've been looking at the
fellows drink there, and I believe that
eight out of ten drink just because
they don't like to say "no!"
"Does it make your head ache to
drink whiskey?"
Yep."
"So it does mine. I Bwore off whis
key and took to beer, but beer makes
me billious."
"Why drink anything?"
"Hanged if I know, but we all do
drink."
We were joined by an actor. Being
an actor, and in the company of a
newspaper man, there was, he
thought, but one thing to do.
Said he, "What'll you take?"
We took whiskey.
So did he.
We each said "How," and then said
I, "Dan, do you like whiskey?"
'"I hate it."
"Why do you drink it?"
"I don't often I generally take
gin ; bnt they both upset me r give me
a fearful headache. But what are you
going to do? Mustdrink something."
In that way I have spoken to not
jesa than twenty men this rery day.
Of the twenty, fifteen said that drink
alwava gave them a headache ; one
owued that bo loved the taste; ouoj
said he drank because he was "blue."
and one confessed he was "on a tear,"
' and he didn't "care who knew it."
Not far from Trinity Church there
isin a superb marble building a res-
' tauraut and oar of great popularity
with merchauts land brokers down
town.
Between twelve and half past one
its first floor is a gastronomic pande
monium. It is worth a trip from Harlem to
look at it.
Pie and whiskey. 03'ster pate and
gin, cake hikI cocktails, sandwiches
and seltzer, but chit-liy everything
and whiskey, with now and then a
pony of the "very best brandy," or a
"mere taste of absinthe," disappear
with astonishing rapidity.
Brokers' boys rush in, seize a sand
wich, cram it down, call for whiskey,
gulp it in. grab & check, pay for .t.
light a cigarette and fly like lightning.
The huge doors flip and flap like
the wings of au enormous roc.
Waiters flit about the room bearing
trays with bottle aud glass.
There's no rest for the barmen.
Bottles here, decanters there, tumb
lers everywhere.
The bulls drink because they have
won, the bears because they have lost.
Stocks are sold between drinks, bar
gains are made aoross bars, money is
borrowed and certificates loaned over
the bottle, and the whole of it is done
in a hurry.
At times from two to time hundred
men and hoys struggle for service at a
time.
No one is willing to wait.
E-.ch wants his bottle first; but
though they all drink, I have yet to
see the first drunken man or tipsy boy
iu that magnificent barroom.
It id just so further up town in the
hotels, the clubs, and the elegant3a
loons patronized by the young bloods
of New York.
Each place has its patrons, and its
hours of push and drive.
In the great barrooms up town I
rarely find more-than half a dozen
drinkers between 12 and 5 o'clock.
From that hour on till midnight the
places are filled.
The barrooms near Wallack's, the
Union Square, Booth's, and the Fifth
Avenue theatres do but little business
iu the day time; but iir the evening
they are spasmodically extremely
busy.
The patrons of these theatres are
our "best people."
From the invariable rush of the
Whiskey Brigade between the acts,
the unavoidable inference is that our
"best people" drink.
Even without the valuable testimo
ny of the medicine men, we kuow
that to be a fact.
Some go modestly into the adjacent
drug store, aud call for the refreshing
Vichy ; others seek a neighboring
chop house, and indulge m a glass of
ale; but the vast majority do nothing
of the kind. They join their friends
in the lobby, walk ditect to the near
est barroom, say "What'll you take?"
call for whlske3', drink it solemnly,
with one long swallow, pay for it, aud
walk Lack to the theatre redolent of
clove, lemon, or parched corn.
This habit is not confined to old
men nor to men in trouble.
Boys hardly out of their teens drink
brandy and seltzer. Young men with
their friends take whiskey, or per
chance open a small bottle. Middle
aged men, who should be strong and
lusty, take what they are pleased to
call a "bracer," and so far as I can
see, the exceptional person istliemale
person who does not driuk at all times
and under al! circumstances.
It (stands to reason that this sort of
thing must produce some impression
on the human form divine.
The doctors say itiuduces paralysis,
indigestion, headache, rheumatism,
and weakness of many kinds.
Not baing a doctor, I don't attempt
to indorse their opluion ; but this I
will say, that among all the hundreds
of drinkers regular topers, not
drunkards to be found in the first
class saloons of New York to-day, it
would be impossible to find a dozen
men who wil say that they drink be
cause they are fond of liquor.
They drink because it seems to be
the tiling to do. Monsieur X.
A Mild Hint. An Irish servant,
having carried a basket of game from
iiis master to a friend, waited a con
siderable time for the customary fee ;
but not finding it likely to appear,
scratched bis,head, and said, "Sir, if
my master should say 'Mike, what
did the gentleman give you?' what
would your honor have me to tell
him?"
A German musician has discovered
that the tone of a violin can be great
ly improved by immersing the instru
ment in lager beer, and leaving it
there until it becomes thoroughly sat
urated. We have never seen this
tried, but we have known a simular
saturation of the player to work won
ders. A man in Salem, Oregonr cleared
his premises of rats by catching one
and pouring carbolio acid over it and
then turning it loose. The odor of
their unfortunate friend appears to
have convinced the other rats of the
propriety of going elsewhere.
The hope of wealth is a mighty de
veloper of the Industry of the world ;
like a prize which but few can obtain,
it causes the great mass to work assid
uously, and in their effort to obtain it,
the total of their productive work he
comes gigantic.
Mrs. Shoddy puokeredup her mouth
genteelly and told a gentleman
friend that one of her lovely daugh
ters was a "bluenet," and the other

There is a whole sermon in the say

FAEM AND HOUSEHOLD.
BREEDING FOR STYLE.
The most casual observer of human
nature has noticed that extremes at
tract each other, that a large burly
man generally admires a small, even
delicate woman, and viceversa; that
black eyes look wistfully at blue; and
the dark and light shades of hair are
envious of each other; and so on,
through the various shades of temper
ament. Will not this law of physical
adaptation apply, to a certain extent,
In breeding live stock, of any class?
Permit us to mention a few instances
coming uuder personal observation
which evince the advantages to be
derived by paying regard to this law
of nature.
We remember a certain herd of cat
tle which had been bred foryears with
much regard-to their size; the owner
and breeder having a great fancy for
a large animal. He got what he was
after, viz., size; he also got a fair
quantity of legs; and could not com
plain of a limited allowence of bone.
Just at this juncture he purchased a
bull; got him in a trade; didn't like
him ; he was too small and runty.
The writer took a good look at the
bull. He certaiulj' would not have
weighed over 1.500 pounds iu his
eight year old form in pretty good
flesh at that. But barring hissize, he
was a capital fellow; neat limbed ;
round, plump form ; abroad, compact
body, on legs that were almost too
short. He was christened "Grand
Stumpy" by the cow boys, aud looked
for all the world, just like his name
sounded.
He was used to a limited extent the
flrot season eight cows procured
calves by him. Seven out of the
eight we have seen maroh out of the
show yard with a prize ribbon flutter
ing above them. This turned the
scale iu his favor, and he was used ex
tensively by his owner for four suc
cessive years, wheu he became impo
tent. His calves from this herd of
cattle as a collection were the best and
most uniform we ever saw from a sin
gle sire.
But, you observe, this argues noth
ing. It only shows that he was a re
markable sire, and tiiut he would
probably have begotten calves equal
ly as good from oows of a different
mould. Not so. We happen to
know the bull's previous history. He
had been used in another herd whose
general characteristics were similar to
his own. viz: compactly built cattle,
somewhat undersized ; aud while his
calves from the cows were good, even
above the average as a collection,
they were by no means the equals of
those in the herd I have just men
tioned. The matter is worthy of more con
sideration than it generally receives.
Farm and Factory.
A CLEAN FLOOK.
The other day I went to see my
friend Mrs. Cook. She had just fin
ished mopping her kitchen floor. I
noticed it looked very nice, and asked
her how she kept it so well.
"Why," she said, "don't 3011 know
I oil it about every six months? That
is what makes it so easily kept clean."
"Oil!" I said. "How do you do
that?"
So then she told me as follows :
"I take a quantity of the cheapest
and least offensive oil (Unseed) I can
secure, and I apply it with a common
paint brush. I put it on smoothly,
so that it will strike equally all over,
and yet not stand in spots on the su r
face. I do this at night after the
evening work is done, and fix the
place ready for ue agaiu next morn
ing. Of course it would not injure
the oiled furface itself to tread upon
it at ouce, but grease is liable to be
tracked from it, at first, to adjacent
parts of the house. A new ooat of
oil applied oncein six months, or even
ouce a year, sometimes is sufficient to
keep a floor in perfect order. One
may in this way prepare to great ad
vantage the floors of kitchens, pan
tries, summer dining rooms, back
rooms, back halls, stairwa3's. porti
coes, closets, bath rooms, and labor
ers' bed rooms. Household.
Home Made Barometers. All are
familiar with those little wooden toy
houses with two doors, out of one of
whicli the man comes in wet weath
er, and on his going in, the wife comes
out of the other, when it is fair. The
principle on which they are made Is
that catgut in wet weather shrinks,
and iu dry weather regains its length.
A yard or more of common whipcord,
with a small plummet attached, sus
pended against the wall, will indicate
the weather by rising before rain and
slnkiug before fair weather. Salt,
wiiich has been thoroughly dried
greatly increases in weight before
rain. A pair of scales kept suspended
with an Iron or brass weight in one
end, and an equal quantity of dry
salt in the other, will infallibly show
any change in the atmosphere.
The best way to boil eggs is not to
boil them at all. Put them in a tin
dish, and pour on boiling water;
cover the dish tight, and set it back
merely where the water will keep
hot; let it stand from ten to fifteen
minutes, according to the size of the
eggs, or the preference of the eater for
"hard" or "soft." The egg is quite
different from that produced by boil
ing; both the flavor and the texture
of the egg being so superior to any
other way of cooking, by means of
hot water, that those who have tried
it, will hardly be likely to return to
the old way.
The Spanish peasants think that
birds eat the grain, and that trees
.harbor birds, eo they cut down the
trees, and the country represents the
character of endless, melancholy,
treeless plains, with a poor, stunted
cereal vegetation.
Broom corn was introduced into this
country by Dr. Franklin. While ex
amining au imported-corn-whisk he
accidentally discovered a single seed,
which he planted in bis garden, and
from which the corn was propagated. J
