A FRENCH RECORD.
, Paris has 32,000 saloons, or one for each 7f> of tin* imputation. In France there are 500,000 places in which intoxicating liquors are sold. These saloons take a frightful toil. Of the 150,000 persons who die each year in France from tuberculosis, 135,0(H) are alcoholic drinkers. More than half of all the murders in France are committed by alcoholics. That country is full of tieggars and vagabonds, and 70 per cent, of them owe their condition to alcohol. Of the joung thieves in France, 80 per cent, are born of alcoholic parents. These are the figures—not of Temperance or Church Societies but are collected and published by the Government.
