MONTH OF OUTOBER.

AS in former years, the Holy Father
has ordered that throughout the month
of October, the most Blessed Queen of
Che Rosary should be honored in a
special manner.
The object of the Holy Father, says
the Morning Star, in prescribing these
October deyotions. is to urge on the
faithful of the whole world to address
fervent prayers to the throne of Mary
immaculate and obtain, through the
means Of her powerful intercession, the
speedy triumph Of the Church, to-day
in many places prosecuted.
On the Gulf Of Lepanto did she not
annihilate the formidable feet of the
Mnssulmans? And under the walls of
Vienna, in the seventeenth century,
were not two hundred and thirty thous
and Turkish soldiers put to fight by a
Christian army incomparably- less num-
erous. because the protection of Mary
was solemn]y invoked +? And thirty
years after, also the Emperor Charles
VI obtained a signal victory over the
same enemies Of the Christian name,
On the day, when the assistance Of the
Blessed Virgin was also solemnly
prayed for him in Rome. The power
of Mary is to-day the same. She is TO-
day what she was in years gone by
the constant. the powerful, The univer-
sal help OF Christians; help against the
might Of armies; help against the op.
preston Of political power, help against
prosecutions; help against all storms
that hell can raise against the Church
OF God On earth, and which tend to re-
tard her precious conquests, to dimin.
ish the number OF the faithful, to draw
multltudes Of souls TO destruction.
Christians, therefore, to workl Let us
arm ourselves with our chapelets; let
lis recito devoutlY our Rosary, particu-
larly during this month; let us approach
the Holy Sacramento in obedience 10
the instructions of our Holy Father.
And soon the world shall witness the
extraordinary power of the Most
Blessed Qneen of the Most Holy Ros-

DRUNKENNESS having increased
a'&lxningly in France OF late years, the
Government ap. oiuted an official com
mission, with Leon Say as president, to
investigate the manufacture and sale Of
spirituous liquors, with view to sug-
costing any changes in existing laws
that may seem advisable. Alarm is
felt because Of the mental and physical
degeneration resulting from excessive
use ofstimulents. The commission find
that resort has been made to impure
substances for the manufacture Of aIco
hol, owing to the disease which affects
the vines, and recommend that all alec
hol containing more than two thous
andths of impurities, be rejected. This
whole action indicates grave sense Of
danger and a desire for reform.

The idea is to enroll all Radicals III a
sort of army with regiments of voters
and officers from colonies down. The
qualifications, or tests for admission,
Into the army are also set forth. "These
might be-" he remarks, 1.-The disendow-
ment and disestabllshmen1 Of the Es-
tablished Church; the abolition Of all
hereditary rights to legislate; a strict
policy Of hon intervention abroad;
economy in all departments of govern
ment; one man, one vote; and the pay-
ment Of members" Aud he adds that
when these reforms are carried, the
army might tackle others.

IHE BrlClSn ASSOclat1OE Tor Ene Al
yancement of Science does not devote
its energies exclusively to obstruse
questions of mental or physical science.
It's members are fond of dropping down
to the level of every day folk, SO that
surprise need not be felt on reading
that the meeting in Bath this year has
been enlivened by a discussion. in the
biological section Of the association,
upon the vtxed question of stays and
tight lacing. The professor and adj
ministrator of pathology at Cambridge
contributed joint paper in which the
wearing Of stays was upheld. While
careful to point out the injuries that
would be inflicted by an abuse Of the
practice, the two scientists were favor
ably disposed towards it, and their
views may be summed up in the toll
lowing sentence: "No doubt fashions
had sometimes led to the distortion of
the female figure by means of stays,
but if not laced too tight, the modern
corset. by clasping the waist and sup
porting the bosom and back, constitu-
ted a convenient combination of the
different forms of girdle which has
been found useful to women of all civ.
ilized nations from the rem0test times"
Some Of the ladies present combatted
and some supported these opinions,
while physicians who heard the paper
attacked it as likely to do harm. 1t is
probable, however, that there is peace
in the households of the two professors
who composed the paper.
