There is a cou- tiuuous succession, three or four deep of Feast, Wakes, Faire, Rush Bearings, Tidies etc, etc, and millions of money are scattered broadcast in celebrating them, The inhabitants of a big town axot maw utiles from here have ft,r years made a practice of saving some- thing week by week for the annual week's holidays. Savi ig clubs we: e formed, soma of them in the big cotton mills, others in connection. with public ]louses, which would receive deposits of any amount from two cents upwards. The year's accumulations are distributed to their respective owners during the week before the holidays. The amount • thus paid out this year was 170,000 pounds, being about thirty shillings per head of the entire population.

The idleness and vacuity of the lives of the natives in '}'Uganda are, according to him, entirely Niue to this plant. It practically grows itself, and once it is planted no trouble need be taken about it whatever.

DRiNK STATISTICS. Bow England ` Compares With Other Countries.. (.London Daily mile The latest parliamentary returns relat- ing to the productiou and cousutnptiou of caeca -olio beverages shows that the consumer of alcohol in the United i ing- doan contributes a i'ui' larger share to the nraintaivauce of the etato than the Consumer of any ether country. He contributes, in fact, uo less than 30 per cent of the total national revenue. The consumer in the United States comes next with 28 per cent, in France he con- tributes o on-tributes• only 19 per cent, and the Ger- man 18 per cent. , Spirits contribute most to the revenue of the Uuited Kingdom, as indeed they do in. America, France and Germany. Notwithstanding this, beer is the stap- le dri{rk of the United Kingdon., Ger- raauy and the United States. We are wont to look upon the Gormaus as great beer drinkers, yet the yearly consump- tion in the fatherland is only 27.1 gal- lops per head, as compared to the 31.9 per head consumed in this country.. The consumption in America is 13.0 per head while in France it is only 5.5 per head. France makes up for this in spirits,the animal consumption being; 2.07 gallons per head. The United Kingdom. and Germany come next, with 1.08 and 1.85 gallons per head, while Amerika, the home of the cocktail, only registers 0.02 gallons per head. In the consumption of wine France has no rival. The statistics show 24.64 gallons per; head, while iu the United Kingdom, Germany and America the percentage is 0.41, 0.77,and 0.28 respect- ively. tranco manufactures at home 80 per Cant. of the whole of the wine she con- sumes. The United Staters produces as Much as 85 yer cena at home,. Germany no less than 62.2 per cent, while no wine whatever is produced in the United Kingdom. Beer seems to be universally xuantx- faetured at home, to the United Klug- (tom 99,9 per cent. is home made, in France 98.8, in. Germany 90.2, and in the United States 09,8. The United States manufactures 98.8 per mut, " of its spirits, while we only make 80.0 of ours. France and Germany mannfao• tore 92,5 *tort 97.0 per cent, respectively, Looking further afield, it is interest- ing to note that, though in. Australasia 04.0 per eclat, of the wine is produced the colonies, only 1.05 gallons per head is the average consumption for the last three years. Australia seems to be very temperate, the annual beer consumption being only 10.0 gallons per head, and tho spirit oonsuniptiou 070.

Young fowl are watered five times daily. Second—War is waged on. vermin continually. Third—Good, wholesome, sound food is always given, and at regular hours. Fourth—Coarse lime, gravel or grit and charcoal are continually before all fowls, Oyster shells are also occasion- ally supplied, but the latter are not con- sidered an absolute necessity, Fifth—All bonses are cleaned and Boors limed once a week in winter and two or three tunes in. summer. Sixth—No food is left lying around to sour, and care is taken to feed only as ranch as will be eaten promptly.
