Physicians in New York have all at once
discovered that ice water is terrible ca
lamity to afflict a confding community
that it induces dyspepsia; is less cooling
to the system than moderately cool water ;
ruins the teeth; causes people to violate
the clearest and plainest laws of health
and the papers of that pure metropolis are
really talking about organizing woman s
crusade against the icebergs. They say
there is more danger from the ice carts
than from the rum shops. and call upon
the sweltering toilers of the city to swear
off from the use of ice, and drink a little
harmless beer or wine instead That is
the checklist" philosophy ever promul-
gated, and is worse than the late efforts of
the Brewers Congress in their attempt to
make people believe they were laboring
solely to promote the temperance cause
and total abstinence. Hereafter people
who 60 to the we'll curb, where the "old
oaken bucket, the moss-covered bucket"
hangs dripping with natures cooling bev-
erage, should carry kettle of hot water
along with them, or pot of ale, or a bot
tie Of brandy, because the consequences of
drinking cold water are so disastrous. and
it has been the ruin of SO many millions.

TITLE 70 TIE REFORM SCHOOL
F4RB IND TIE ST1TE -fPIR0-
PRI4TI0N.

t. the Edtt0y n The Journals:
More than a score Of years ago the State OF
Maine established Reform School upon a
farm decided to the State for that purpose ty
the City Of Portland
Since that time the institution has received
TO a greater or less extent tie fostering care
Of the State.
The result. though not all that could be de-
sired, has been upon tie whole gratifying in
the reformation of many, and the preserva-
ton Of many others from the communicating
influences of bad boys, who have been taken
from nearly every town in the State, and
placed in the Reform School where, at worst,
they could do no harm.
Experience has demonstrated that more
liberal policy than has heretofore been pur-
sued by the State, is necessary for complete
success, and to place our Reform School on
a level with similar institutions in other
States. The Legislature was asked this year
by the Trustees for an appropriation that would
enatle them to make certain changes in the
building to make il conform in some partcu-
lars tothe modern system of juvenile Reform
atory Institutions. But objection is made to
this very reasonable request, on the ground
that the farm will revert to the city whenever,
Ddt not ubtll tHe olate aDahuohs It's use lOr
the purposes Of Reform School.
1t is urged therefore by some that no i'm
proyements in the system of our Institution
should be made until the city OF Portland
shall give clean title to that farm, so that II
hereafter the State should conclude TO aban-
don all attempts to reclaim its juvenile Of
Tenders it might retain the land given it for
that purpose. l envy neither the head nor
the heart OF the man who conceived this
proposition.
The right oi reyerslon will be OF no practi-
cal advantage to the State except in the event
OF such an abandonment. l believe that no
mistaken idea of misnamed ''retrenchment
and reform will ever lead Maine back to bar
barism like that! But If in twenty, thirty or
forty years the State to its disgrace should
abandon its Rctormatory Institutions, what
would it then have gained if twenty-five years
ago it had Purchased a clean title to that farm,
instead OF accepting it as gift for a partc.
ular purpose: Certainly nothing pecuni-
arily. Twenty years hence, the purchase
money compounded would have amounted to
more than ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND
poLLARs-much more than the property will
be worth at that time for any other purpose
