ICE SKATING.

Will roller-skating supplant its parent
sport? We trust not. But there is no
question that run~ner-skating has been on
the decline among us for some years. In
Holland, Denmark, and Germany it is uni
versal. There everybody skates, old and
young, high and low, rich and poor.
Probably its decline here arises from neg
lect of our ponds. There is skating until
the first SNOW, and after that pains are
taken in but few places to clear the ice.
There are also no c%onveniences for putting
Oh skates, taking care of garments, etc.
1t is both uncomfortable and dangerous to
skate in overcoats and cloaks. In Ger
many and other European countries the
public ponds are leased by the cities to
parties who, charging small sums to
skaters, keep the ice clear and in good
condition. and also provide the other facili-
ties mentioned. 1t would be a good idea
to adopt the same course i'll our cities,
while in country towns the organization of
s~kating-clubs might effect the same ends.

TOO MUCH qUININE DANGEROUS.

Medical Humbugs are not confined to
the secret preparations SO extrayagantly
advertised. 1t would be well if the law
prevented prescribing by every one who is
not a medical man. 1t is a popular notion
that one who claims to teach some subjects,
is capable of giving advice in others. We
sometimes find clergymen prescribing for
their p%arishioners, and editors going out of
their sphere, if they have one, and advising
their readers to use the same doses which
they think they have found useful in their
shattered health. Recently the promis-
euous and continuous taking ofsmall doses
of quinine has been advised. Many are
aware how seriously large doses of quinine
affect the brain; disturbed hearing and
sight, incoherent speech, and other symp-
toms OF intoxication, being present. In
small and repeated doses the s1quinine
habit is confirmed. the brain is affected,
and obliquity of moral as well as real Wis
ion may result. We have seen habitual
takers of quinine who had lost the ability to
distinguish right from wrong, or the differ
ence between their own and other peoples
property. whose speech uttered falsehood
more readily than truth, and whose whole
conduct appeared to be under the infiu
ence of too much quinine, Always avoid
indiscriminate disqualification Ag,ical-

RELIGION IN

The rise and fall of religious creeds in
this country is very interesting as showing
the tendency of things with us. Since 1866
the Methodists have kept pace with the
growth of population. Twenty-four years
ago they numbered s. 900, 900. To-day they
have about 49, 00, 900 adherents. The
Baptists nave increased from 5000, 900 to
about 10, 600, 600, which shows an increase
of 80 per cent. as to numbers, but a de-
crease of % per cent. compared to growth
of population. The Presbyterians now
number j, 800, 900 against :, 1900, 900 in 1860,
about 53 per cent. increase. The Luther
ans rave increased 60 per cent. The Con
eregationalists now number about 1,S00,-
600, an increase of only p per cent, while
the population has increased 70 per cent.
The ~Episcopalians number 200, 600 an in
crease of 339 per cent. in twenty-four years.
The Hebrews number about 700, 900, an in
crease of 100 per cent. in twenty-four years.
The Friends or Quakers show a falling off
of go per cent, and now number only 49,
900 persons. But the most startling figures
of all are those that relate to the Roman
Catholics. In 1860 they numbered 3.100,-
600. That church to-day claims $500, 900
adherents, a gain of 200 per cent. In fiji
teen years, should the same ratio of increase
continue, there will be %, DOC, 600 Catholics
in this country. No figures are given as
to the skeptics or non-believers, but UNI
doubtedly their numbers have been very
much swollen in the last quarter of a cen
fury. 1t is a notable fact that Calvinists,
Unitarians and Quakers, as well as the
sects with definite creeds, are rapidly losing
ground, while the ritualistic churches, such
as Catholics and Episcopalians, and what
may be called the emotional seets, such as
Methodists and Baptists, are either holding
their own or gaining ground. These
changes in what may be called the spiritual
attitude Of the nation will in time show
itself in the very structure of our institu'
tions.-Demorest's Monthly for February.
