Hughson, (continued from back page) the following paragraph on the woh ject, "One has but to open at any page f Pickwick to be struck with a characteristic of social life in Dickens' youth, which implies so much that it may be held to represent the whole civilization in which he was born and bred. Mr, Pickwick and his friends ale drank brandy; drank it as the simplest: and handiest refreshment; or at midnight; in the retirement of virtue inferiors; and on a coach | journey; ether in summer or sister-in-law of * the groom,!sorry Pickwickian who would have J effect. Utter contempt was meted fireside; offered it as an invitation to good-fellowship; or as a reward of winter, held it among indispensible comforts. 'He', said Samue] Johnson, 'who aspires to be a hero, must drink brandy'; and in this respect the Pick- wickians; and in this respect the Pick- course, they pay for their glory, being frequently drunk in the most flagrant sense of the term; but to say they come up smiling after it is an inade- quate phrase, however appropriate to those times; he would have been a owned to a morning's headache, ' If such a thing existed unavowed, there was, the proverbial remedy at hand-- 'a hair o fthe dog'. "It is conceivable that, in some age remote, a student of Pickwick 'might Ipoint, as an obvious explanation of the marvellous flow of vitality and merriment among the people of Dickens' day, to their glorious beverage, something more ethereal and yet more potent than any drink known to later mortals, the divine liquor called brandy." Manliness was very frequently measured by the amount of liquor a man could hold without noticeable out to the man who could not down his wine and stand steady on his legs. Unconsciously almost, hte wheels of reform that Dickens did 0 much to start have removed all the old land marks of his day except in what is recognized in very high or very low society, Today a man cannot afford to get drunk unless he belongs to one of the two classes of society mention- ed. If you wish to find such drinking characters now-a-days, you must search for them among the four hundred or the submerged tenth. There were greater evils than the drink traffic in those days, bad as it was and is yet. I do not suppose that prohibition ever entered Dickens' mind, or the mind of any other per- son at that time.. To these other. evils he addressed himself and to him | is due the credit of removing them in very large measure. Public hanging | for paltry offences; prison life for those whose only crime was poverty; brutal usage of paupers and pauper children; gross cruelty to resident scholars in so-called private schools; these and many other like abuses are almost all gone, and to Dickens be- longs much of the glory. me Mr. and Mrs. E.
