Facts and Figures Arrayed Againstthe Importation, Production and Use of Liquers. From the Catholi¢ World. Since Helper’s “Impending Crisis” no un- professional writer has shown agreater power of massing facts than Mrs. Elizabeth Thomp- son (author of. “Figures of Hell.”) They first repel, then attract, then astound the reader. The year selected for the statistical proofs and startling facts of this writer ended June 30, 1881—the last year of authenticated fed- eral returns available at the time the book was written. The totals would be ten per cent higher for the year that ends in June, 1885. In 1881 we (the Unitea States) imported of rent I f 5, lions. re mi ai suet Ugo GRE ae et and of fermented liquors 443.641,868 gallons, making a total of 530,325,677 gallons of intox ieating liquors that were Pela manufac- tured and sold in the Unit States in one year, As we had then 50,000,000 inhabitants, We consumed 10 2-5 gallons for every mun, woman and child, or, reckoning families as groups of five, one galion each and every week for each and every family,making three drinks aday for each and every family. This esti- mate leaves out of account all secretly made or“moonlight” whiskeys and_other liquors. Every day we drink 1,425,550 gallons—28,- 511,000 giasses, ‘No much for quantity; now for the cash cost of it. ‘Our imported liquors retailed for_$67,274.- 032; our home made spirits for $207/381,618; our home made fermented lquors retailed for $443,641,868, showing that we paid in one Year for intoxicating liquors $718,297,518. Striking off, to make round numbers, the eighteen odd thillions, and estimating the pop- ulation at 50,000,006, these figures show that we spend for ‘drink no less than $14 for each and every person_in the United States, $70 for each and every. family, $1,967,938 dally and every second—“every time’ the clock ticks,” as Myx, Thompson puts it" $22.76. The report of the United States commissioner of internal bedbag hte shows. pcan eaten of these figures, For example, according latest, that for the ‘fiseal year ending June 30, 1884, the total revenue from distilied spirits amounted to $76,905.385.26, an increase over 1883 of $2,536,610.06, From fermented liquors the receipts for 1884 were $18,084,954.11, an increase over 1883 of $1,184,338.30, ‘The total production of distilled spirits the last fiscal year was 75,435,739 gallons, an increase over, the production of 1883 of 1,422,431 gallons. The total production of ferménted liquors for the fiscal year 1834 was 18,998,619 barrels, an in- crease over 1883 of 1.240,727 barrels. The number of distilleries operited during 1884 was 4,738; the number of brewers, 2,240. There are 909,980 persons, adult males for the greater part, employed in the manufacture and sale of liquors in the United States. ‘This is one to every sixty of the entire population. These men, mostly able-bodied, are taken from. productive, that Is to say, wealth-producing employments. They are a tax on the workers, adding no one element of prosperity to the common wealth of the nation. Atthelow wage at which all of them could earn they would receive for the 300 working days of the year $272,994,000, Who can estimate the loss of permanent w Ith that this aggregate of wages implies and suggests? e federal statistics show that there are in the United States “600,000 persons daily inca- pacitated for labor by reason of liquor.’ This number Includes the drunkards, the insane, the crimfnals, and paupers dragged down to these classes by the direct and recognized in- fluence of using intoxicating drinks. At 81 a day In w year of 300 days these 600,000 persons, plicea hors du travail by the drinking habit could have earned $180,000,000, which, added to the other totals of money cost, and the loss of the services of the army of makers and sell- ers, estimating these services on the wage basis only, amount to the aggregate of $1,171,291,518 per annum. “This vast sdm,” writes Mrs. Thompson, “is per capita for every man, woman and child in the country. It is nearly equal to our entire old, silver and pares cireulation combined. fewould bund and equip 30,000 miles of rail. road; pay the costof the public schools for fifteen yeurs; erect and maintain 12,000 colleges; send out avd support 1,200,000 ‘missionaries; pa: the entire national debt of the country, national, state and municipal. in less than four years! construct 600 first-class ocean steamers; erect and maintain 3,750 hospitals, libraries or homes for the aged; provide one-third of the people in the United States with homesteads of 160 acres each; run the Post Office department for thirty- four years; support the navy for seventy-five ya pay our foreign consular service for 725 years; purchase at $7 @ barrel, 167,32 359 barrels of flour, and pay the salary of the President of the United States for 23,425 ears!” ¥Store than two-fifths of the arrests in New York city are of persons “intoxicated” or per- sons “drunk and disorderly.” Uniting the figures of these two legally separated offences, yet coming from the same source, the total 2.)

Two-fths of itimust be charged directly’ to the liquor tramc. “The costof the various courts,” alse writes Mrs. Thompson, “inade necessary’ by reason of the traffic In liquors in New York city alone, reached the sum of 82,000,000!” The cost of maintaining the department of public charities and correction 1s $1,262,616. “Over ninety r cent of it was made necessary pureencen of the traffic In liquors.” hese figures tell only such portion of the truth of the cost of the liquor traffic as is forced upon offjcial ition. Not every “intoxi- cated,” drunk and disorderly” is arrested; not every person made homeless by intoxicating liquors seeks a lodging in station houses. Nor is any account taken In these estimates of the loss to soclety of the productive services of the men aud women thus lodged or imprisoned, Tens of thousands of drunkards, who do not seek the retirements that a prison grants, are supported, tn demoralizing idleness ‘by houest workers, Wwho are thus robbed of the fruit of weir toll. Ninety-three per cent of the persons confined in the house of industry were sent there for eer crimes. n the New York insane hospitals, out of 286 patients 139 were habitual drunkards, 95 mod- erate drinkers, and 3 total abstainers, It is sometimes argued that should leave the liquor trade alone, that Sducation will cure all the evils that may come from its unll- cenved sale. But the statistics of education and crime do not warrant this hope or belief; for, as Mrs. Thompson has shown, “within the last twenty-five years our teachers have Increased from twenty-five to thirty per cent, and pupils attending school more than fifty per cent, yet crime has increased sixty per cent, about Kee] ing pace with the increase of the traffic in liquors.” ‘That's what the French call a reply, sans republique. Federal statistics show that twenty per cent of the insane in all the insane asylums of the United States went mad as the direct result of the use of intoxicating drinks, and that thirty- five per eent of the remaining number were made insane indirectly by the use of liquors, ‘The Pennsylvania Hospital. for the Tasane tabulated its records for twenty-eight, years, With what result? It was shown that 18 9-10 of the inmates had been made insane directly from the use of intoxicating drinks. Foreign countries tell the same story. Two insane asylums in Liverpool report—the first, that out of 83 cases admitted 50 were made in- sane by liquor: the second, that out of 495 pa- tierfts were known to have been made in- sane by drinking.” In the Middlesex lunstic asylum exactly one-half were made insane by jn ‘The tabulated reports of all the asy- di wee iy lums of England and Scot id showed that “more than 20 per cent of the patients were made insane by intemperance.

Their Derivation Shown by a Reference to the Early History of England. From the St. Louls Globe- Democrat, One of the most common methods of bestow- ing surnames was from the place of residence. ‘The name of a street, a town, a particular dis- trict of country, with the syllable at or after or by as an introduction. gave such names as At- wood, Byford and Byatt. Another class of names arose from the practice of appending to the name a termination indicative of the place of residence, Thus the rustic often became known among his acquaintances as Robert the Field, or Fielder, Filder; if he lived In a forest, he was Woodyer, or Wood, or Wood- man; if by the chureh, he was Churchman, or, in Scotland, Kirkman; if by a monastery, Temple, or Teinpleman, ‘empler; if by the cross, to be found in every village, he was Cross, or Crossman, or Croucher, or Crouchman; il by the bridge he became, Bridyeror Bridge- From similar rea ime the names oks, Brookman, Wells, Weiler, Wellman, cher, Beechman, Hollywood, 'Oker an many others, The word hurst or hirst fs often found asa part ofa proper name. It originally meant wood, and the compounds formed with itare numerous. If hazels about, it is Hazel- burst; i lindens, it is Lyndturst; if hawks are often found, it is Hawkhurst, and Brockelhurst is often seen for badgerwoods, Deerhurst for a deer forest, the proper names of men following these appellations, The holt was a less extensive forest than the horst, aud from it we Lave Aldershot, Oak- shot and Bagshot, A shaw was a small woody covert, a common Shelter for game, and it re- mains in our language as Hindshaw, Cockshaw, Henshaw, or Heroshaw, and Earnshaw, an ab- breviation of Heronshaw. In old Euglish a den was a sunken cover or shelter tor animals, usually of the more ferocious kinds, and so we have Wolfenden, Harden, or Hareden,Buckden, Ramden and Rowden or Roeden. ‘The names of the domestic animals are found’ in Horsden, Oxenden, Cowden, Borden, Sowden and Ogden or Hogden. While the den gave shelter the lea afforded pasturage for both wild and tame, and we thus have Horseley, Cowley and Kinley, Sheepley, from Sheeplea, Buckley and Hindley. ‘The nature of the surroufiding trees gives Ash- ley, Lindley, Elmsiey and Oakley. me of the surnames of men indicate the clearings that were made in the forests. Thus, ‘@ rod or rood was a cleared place in the woods, whence we have Acroyds, where the acorn trees have been taken away, Lindrood, Holy- rood and others of this kind. A greave’ was a woodland avenue graved or carved out of the forest, the idea of cutting patng Salt preserved inour grave. Thus we find Hargrave, where the hares were numerous; Congreave, where the same was true of the conies, and Bargreave, indicating the former profusion of bears, A slade was a small strip of open land In a forest, and thus came Grenslade and Whitsiade. lande was a Hoh pices of grassy but uncultured round surrounded by ‘trees, and hence the wunders, the Landes, the Lowndes and the Laundes.’ A knowl was a small, skull-shaped bill, whence our Knowles, Knowlers and Knowlings. The holme was a meadowland lying about the windings of a stream, and from {tare derived the Holmers and the Holmans, The clough was tormerly a narrow fissure be- tween the hills, and the proper name was thence derived,’ while the Cliffes, the Clives, the Cleves, the Clevelands, the Suteliffes, the Nethercliffes, Topelittes, Redclitfe the Rad- cliffes, the Stonecliffes, Rockelitfes, ‘and Hard- cliffes’ are all from the same source, A dune was a hilly slope, and the Duns came from such alocality, while a combe was the cup-shaped depression of the hillside, whence we have Cumberland, Newcombe aud Slocombe, with one huudred others. Any prominence of earth or rock was acop, or cope. Hence come the ‘Copes, the Copleys, the Copelands and the Cope- stakes, Cob was but another form of the same word, whence come the Cobbs, the Cobhams, the Cobwells, the Cobdens and Cobleys, Some of the trees have given family names toquite a number of distinguished ‘families, ‘The Nashes onee lived near ash trees, the Nald- ers close to alders, while the origin ofthe Nokes, the Beeches, the Linds and Lindenwoods, the ‘Lindhurst, dnd the Birches Isequally plain But other rural objects also contributed their share to the names of families. A common English sight is the park gate, which Is often conspicu- ous from afar,and the Lindgates, the Folod- tes, the Parkates, and the Rirkates still testi- te the original occupations of the founders of the families bearing those names, Aherne was anv nook or corner of land, so those who lived there became known as the Hearnes, while a gore was a narrow defile in the moun- tains and gave a name to those living near it. ‘A croft, was an inclosed pasture, and has given. us the Meadowcrofts, the Ryecroits and the Haycrofis, “A hay wai a bridge whence comes the Hayes, the Woodhayes, the Haynes, the Hewes, the Roundhayes, the Heywoods, ‘and others.” An acre was a piéce of cultivated land, whence the Akermans, the Oldacres, the Good: geres, the Longacres and the Whittakers. Of the Barnes it is not necessary to speal, tut the Booths were so called from their habitation of boughs, as also. were the Boothmans, the Bow- ers and the Bowermans. Town formerly meant farm, as Wyeliffe used it with this signification in his translation of the scriptures, and the Towns, the Townes, the Towners and the Town- send, or the Townsenders, still remain to per- petuate the name. The family residence in Many parts of England is still the bury; the Burys, the Bourrows, the Burroughs, the Broughs and the Bugges still recall it. “Another form of the same word was bere, and the Ber. rys, the Berrimans and the Beers and the Bear- ers" commemorate the old signiticance of the word, : Names of occupations are perhaps still more common than names of residences, No doubt to some worker in metals we owe the Ham- mers, to some dealer in earthenware out Pottes and Kettles, to a hatter our Hatts, while the origin of Baskett, Last, Cheeses, Plows, ‘Tubbs, Cades, Barrils and Buncheons is equally ob vious, A Vigorous Old Age.

A CASE RESEMBLING THAT OF GEN.GRANT. Some ten years ago I had scorfulous sore on my rignt hand which gave me great trouble, and under the old-time treatment healed up, but it had only been driven into the system by the use of potash and mer- cary, and in March, 1882, it broke out in my throat and concentrated in what some of the doctors called cancer, eating through my cheek, destroying the roof of my mouth and upper lip, then attacked my tongue, palate and lower lip, destroying the palate and under Up entirely and haif my tongue, eating out to the top of my left cheek bone and up tothe lefteye. I cou! not eat any solid food, but subsisted on Mquids, and my tongue was so far gone I could not talk. Such was my wretched, helpless condition the first of last Octo- ber (1884). when my friends commenced giving me Swift's Specific. In less than = month the eating places stopped and healing commenced, and the fear- fal aperture in my cheek has been closed and firmly Knitted together. A process of a new under lip is pro- gressing finely, and the tongue which was almost de- stroyed is being recovered, and It seems that nature is supplying a new tongue. I can talk #o that my friends can readily understand me, and cau also eat solid food again. Ifany doubt these facts, I would refer them to Hon, John H. Taylor, state senator of this district, and to Dr. T, 8. Bradfield, of Lacrange, Ga. MES. MARY L. COMER.
