TIE Senate Committee on Military
Affairs have agreed to n billprohib iting
the enlistment of minors in the army.

A RECENT report oil the Massachusetts
State Board Of Health discusses the 0ues.
itloh of stimulants at considerable length
Correspondence bearing on the question
had been solicited from persons at fifty
three widely-separatcd points upon the
earth's surface, including each Of the lead.
ing or most populous nations. Many Of
these were tho Ministers or Consuls Of our
Government. In Analysing these, the
Board states It's own conclusions, which
are to the effect that the appetite for slim.
ulants is universal; that its qualification
may be curbed within healthy limits by
the spread OF more intelligent views OF the
kind Of stimulants that ought to be used,
and the circumstances under which, and
the extent to which, they may be used /;
that the cultivation OF the vine, and free
use Of wines, and the use Of ale are the in,
tluences which, on large scale, tend most
to diminish intoxicatlon, and, especially,
to lessen the crazy form of intempcrance;
by substituting liquors that admit Of but
little adulteration, and which satisfy the
appetite long before they intoxicate, for
those Of which the smallest draught tends
to intoxicate, and which tempt to vile
authorizations that craze the brain even
more than alcohol; that tho southern and
wine'producing countries of Europe have
much less crime as the result Of alcohol
than the colder and more changcable eli.
mates Of Northern Europe and tic United
States, which drink ardent spirits that
are from 90 to 60 per cent alcohol: that
all public bars for the sale of spirits should
DO suppressed, while those Tor tho sale of
ales and wines should be permitted
drunkenness, and not the selling Of LIQUOR
should BIO punished as a crinse; but, whore
liquor is sold SO as to produce drunken.
ness, the seller should DO obliged to sur,
port the drunkard and his family for some
specified time; and that dipsomania-the
deprayed and uncomfortable thirst for
dring-should DO treated by confinement
in State Inebriate Asylums
