Says Mr.. LabOuchere: The House
of Commons is ali Old-fashiuned Stage
coach, with horses pulling different
ways, in an age of railroads. To CON
vert it into a railroad is the Object of
all sincere Radicals. The trouble Is
that while the object of all Radicals
is the same, they differ among them
selves as to the means to attain it,
This would be my plan: Ishould di-
vide the United Kingdom into 30 dis
tricts. Each district would have a
local assembly with the same powers
in regard to local matters that are en-
joyed by the States of the American
Union. / should then proceed fur
ther to divide the kingdom into 300
electoral districts. Having relieved
the House of Lords and the House of
Commons of their functions, should
create an imperial Parliament, con-
sisting of two representative, elected
by each local assembly, and one rep
resentative from each electoral dis
trict. They would all sit and vote to-
gether The representatives from the
electoral districts would be elected
each year, but The representatives from
the local assemblies would be elected
for a term of five years eventually,
and would be renewed each year by
One-fifth of them being subject to re-
election"

Inexhaustble suppIr.

Writing of the wine supply during
this year, the Fitness SAYS: 'The
French wine dealers have been them
selves puzzled where all the Wine
comes from. There has been very
short crop this year, and the dealers
naturally laid in stocks of Spanish
and Italian viutages against the de-
felt. They found, however, that no
scarcity occurred, that the Wine-groW-
ers were never at a loss TO supply the
demand, however great. On sxami-
nation they found the absence at
grapes to be made up by fermentea
raisins cut with California wines for
tone and colour.aBd little white wine
for variety. All kinds Of fermented
substances were also found 10 be used
in the place of raisins,and a variety Of
dye stuffs for colour. If these things
be done at the vineyards, what pure
wine ordered by doctors AID sold by
highly respectable grOcers sssz be trust
ed2 This is the generous rubbish
from which our sick people are sup
posed to recover health and strength"

How TO PRESERVE THE TEETH.-The
teeth should be cleaned at least once
d day, the best time being night--the
last thing. For this purpose use a
soft brush, on which take little soap,
and then some prepared chalk, brush
ing up and down and across. There
is rarely any objection 10 the friction
causing the gum to bleed slightly.
Avoid ali rough usage OF tide teeth,
such as cracking huts, biting thread,
etc, as by doing 50 good, sound teeth
may be injured.
When decay is first observed adj
vice should at once be sought Il Is
the stopping I'm a small hole that IS
the greatest service, though not unfre-
quently a large filling preserves tho
tesJh for many years
It is of the greatest Importance that
children, from four years and up
wards, should have their teeth fre-
quently examined by the dental sur
geon, 10 see that the first set, pariicu-
larry the back teeth, are not decaying
too early, and 10 have the opportunity
Of timely treatment for the regulation
and preservation Of the second set.
Children should be taught to rinse
the mouth night and morning, aud to
begin the use of the toothbrush early,
likewise the toothpick.
With regard to the food Of children,
20 those who are old enough, whole
meal bread, porridge anstmilk should
be given. This Is much m0rs whole
some and substantial food thar white
bread.

War Widows.

The widows of the sOldisrs and sail
Ors of the war of 1872 are, fortunate
ly for themselves and fortunately for
the public treasury, blessed with mar
velous health and strength. Accord
ing to the official reports from Wash
ingtOn, $4,000 of these interesting
ladies present themselves every three
months before the accredited agents
Of the government and draw their
pensions with a precision that shows
high condition of financial discipline.
Their ages, individually or collective
". no one of course will be so ungal-
liant as even to hint at, but the date
of the last war with Great Britain is
pretty well back in the century. In
the darkness and uncertainty that
envelop the pension Office at Washing
ton regarding the possible claims
against the government arising out of
the late war the role Of the relicts of
the heroes of that patriotic epoch in
our history may afford some light and
instruction. The total number of
kii.cd and wounded in the 1928
campaigns was a little more than
5000. At the end of nearly seven
ty wears the pension list Of the
widows alone Outnumbcrs that of the
causalities by five to one. If The wild
ows Of tie veterans of the Rebellion
stand by the treasury as patriOtically
as those of 1912, the Commissioners of
Pensions in 1850 will have a couple of
hundred thousand Of them OH his
books.-NetC York Herald.

One GInsS nfRnm

Mr.. Barnett, while conducting a
temperance meeting, related this Incl
dent: ''What one glass did for a
man."
He said he was attending meeting
where temperance experiences were
told. a man arose and told what one
glass had done for him. He said:
81 had a little vessel on the coast :;
she had four men besides myself. [
had my wife and two children on
board the night was stormy, and my
brother was to stand watch that night :;
the seamen prevailed on him to take
'one glass to help him to perform his
duties, but being unaccustomed to
liq uor lie fell asleep, and in the night
he awOke to find my vessel wreck /;
l took my wife and one of my little
ones in my arms, and she took the
other, and for hours we battled with
the cold waves. After hours of sur
feriEg, the waves swept my little one
from my embrace; then, after more
hours of suffering, the waves swept
my other little one from my Wife's
arms, and our two little dears were
lost from US forever. After more bat
Ting with the storm and waves,
looked at my wife, and behold she
was cold in death. l made my way
to the shore, and here l am-my wife,
my children and all my earthly pos
sessions lost for one glass of rum -.

What ex-Vice President Henry
Wilson's opinion of the Temperance
Reform is: 'In my judgment there is
but one way in which this result can
be reached. The Church must take
up the matter. 1t must become one
of the living issues i'm the moral war
fare in which it is engaged"
In a communication TO the n. Y. In
dependent, he said of the Liquor
Crime:
"There is, to day, larger army un-
der its control, than went to the war,
while those mourning over the vassal
age and fall of loved ones, exceed in
numbers, and IN the bitterness of their
woe, the millions who were made
childless and widows by the casual
tics ofthat fierce and sanguinary strife.
And the terrible disease, like a cancer,
is eating into the very vitals of the
nation, destroying the mental and
moral, as well as the physical force OF
the people,"

Six hundred of the tenants Of the Duke of
Devonshire have decided not to pay their
rents, except with a reduction of 20 per

The Dublin corresponding of the London

A Fortnne from Sngar.

Honolulu Correspondence Albany Argus
a few years ago a German named
Claus Spreckles came to Honolulu,
Sandwich Islands, and, after looking
around for a suitable place to settle
upon, he made an offer to rent a large
tract of land at the foot of an extinct
volcano, which the action of the ele-
ments had ground into the finest
dust. A light crust had formed upon
the surface. and it looked about as
valuable for agricultural purposes as
a flagstone walk. Spreckles, however,
succeeded in leasing a tract of 10000
acres for fifty years, at the rate of ten
cents per acre. He then broke up
this crust, mixed the dust with
small quantity of vegetable mold,
thoroughly irrigated the soil thus
formed, and planted sugar cane. To-
day lie is a millionaire and the richest
person upon the islands. The sugar
made from cane grown here is of
very superior quality. At first the
customs officers refused to allow the
unrefined sugar to be admitted duty
free to the United States, claiming
that it was refined, so clear and pure
is its quality. The cane-fields are
many OF them worked by Portuguese.

A Virginia Dog Trap.

a Virginia farmer, having suffered
severely from the depredatiOns of dogs
upon his shcep-fold, built around a
number Of sheep that dogs had killed
an iuclosure of rails twelve feet high
and ten feet square al the ground, the
sides of the trap sloping inward until
an opening was left about five feet
square. Any dog could easily climb
such a sloping fence aud enter the
pen, but not even a greyhound could
jump out of it. In three nights the
farmer captured fOrty-six dogs, in
cluting fifteen or twenty that had
never been before in that ncighbOr-
hood. This after there had been a
public slaughter OF all dogs suspected
of sheep-killing, save ono, whose
master could not be convinced of his
guilt. The rap was built for his
especial benefit, and it caught him the
first night.-LyBcbbug Tirglniaa.

other man named Wise were walking

Cromer ran and the person followed
him and struck him on the head with
