If Dr. Cresswell Hewett, of London, has done what he says he has the time is coming when almost anybody can afford to have ssthe shakes" He claims to have discovered
 an artificial mode of making quinine, by
 which the price of that drug will be some thing like 3d. per ounce. The importance of this discovery (which was made through the accidental breaking of medicine bottle) is rendered greater by the fact that while hith- erto we have been depending for our quinine on the cultivation of the cinchona tree, from whose bark only about per cent of good ouinine can be extracted, 9S per cent. being valueless, the drug can now be manufactured without limit by very simple process from an article which can always be got in abun- dance in any part of the world. A few days ago Dr. Hewett submitted a sample of his preparation to Messrs. Howard & Sons, qui- nine manufacturers, Stratford, who have expressed surprise at the result of their

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The political prohibitionists of Maine didn't accomplish what they desired and promised to. They are short-sighted lot.
 And now the Democrats are trying to make out that the Republicans don't feel good over the result in Maine. Democrats are queer beings.

Careful experiments extending over twelve months have been made by J. J. Redwood, and reported in the Journal of Medical Ap- plianees, to ascertain the effect of different kinds of lubricatiDg oils upon the various metals in which they come in contact, and especially to find out what fixed oils were best adapted for mixing with mineral oils. The metals were first thoroughly cleaned, washed in ether, and dried. weighed and put in cork tubes with fifteen centimetres of oil, the tubes being kept for twelve months at an average temperature of about 80o Fahr. in summer and 50' or 55' Fahr. in winter. Iron was least affected by seal oil and most by tallow. Brass, not at all by rape, least by seal, most by olive. Tin, not at all by rape, least by olive, and most by cottonseed oil. Lead, least by olive, most by whale, but by whale, lard and sperm about equally. Zinc appears to be not affected by mineral oils, least by lard and most by sperm. Copper, not by mineral, least by sperm and most by tallOw,

seasons of dependency rs well as his
cheerful ones. He had his ups and
downs, and the distance between the
two extremes was unreasonable. When
in an unhappy mood he was simply

about playing tricks himself, and WAS
therefore of his guard when approached

Another of his weaknesses was his

who were always on their feet. Now il
happened that one of these windy mem.

when Greeley withdrew. Well, he went
away, and was absent about month

it occurred TO him he would look into
