It seems paradoxical at the presonf moment to speak of the blessings of the present war, but amidst all the suffering there are now and again circumstanced that rejoins the spirit and augur well fo a bright and healthy future. Following the example of Russia in forbidding tha sale of vodka, the French Government in August forbade the sale of the national poison, absinthe, as a temporary measure which was so well accepted that the team. porary veto has now been made per manent, and a further decree enacts that except under exceptional local conditions no more licences will be granted for the sale of any spirituous liquore. necessary was can be gathered from comparativa statistics.

In the single Department du Nord in France there were no fewer than 51,814 drinking shops In the matter of absinthe the new doored

Yet another rease is that the German has never been a horseman. Barring the Uhlans, who are really a species of mounted infantry scoute, one never hears of German cavalry: doing anything in the wars of the past as one used to hear of Moorish horsemen or Saracen
Knights of Polish Lancers or Cossack irregu Inrs or Kellermann's and Mum's French light cavalry or cairassiers, or our British light and heavy cavalry brigades in the Crimea. To the German the horso is a vehicle, not a companion, in sport and in war. Whoever heard of Germans riding to hounds? Consequently the German has never developed hands" in the horseman's sense, and it is always the good horseman who makes the best fier. As a minor proof, the Australians, who are a race of horsemen, have supplied us with an altogether unduly inrge number of first-class aeroplane pilots.
