THE CARE OF INEBRiATES.

In the current number OF the "Angli-
can Church Chronicle" the editor sug-
geste1 that there should be some kind
OF a home for inebriates, instead of send
ing them to the Insane Asylum or the
jail Certainly these are not exactly
the places Tor such persons. The In
spector Oh Lunatic Asylums in London,
DR.. McGregor, recently presented II
lengthy report, and the ''D4ily News
III an article refers to the report as fol-
lows:
It is to be regretted that every British
colony has not yet established asylums for
the cure OF inebriates. The Cape, for ex-
ample, has thus far done nothing in this
direction although there are indications
that public opinion in that colony will not
remain much longer in lethargic state.
In New Zealand, on the other hand a
steady advance has been made on the sub
ject. Mr.. D. Macgregor, Inspector of Lu-
matte Asylums, in a recent report, urges
the claims IF inebriates to the further con-
sideration of the Government. He objects
to the use of Lunatic Asyums for all
classes of such patients. He admits that
1t is difficult TO separate those i'll whom
actual disease 4as begun from those
whose sOdden systems and weakened
wills require simply imprisonment and
compulsory work, say for one month at
least" but he thinks that such a separa-
ton may be made. What such persons
require is that they should be placed under
restraint long enough to enable the sys-
tenn to throw off the alcoholic poison, and
to give the mind some chance of recover
ing its balance. Towards sufferers from
deiirium tremens, Mr.. Macgregor would
adopt more stringent measures. They
should, he thinks, at first be medically
treated for a time in the remand ward of
hospital, and then sent to jail to work
for three mOnths on "a liberal diet" He
proposes that patients whose minds are
really unhinged should become inmates of
the ordinary asylums; but for dipsO-
maniacs, i. e., those persons whose latent
insanity disappears with the withdrawal
of alcohol, he advocates special treatment
and he states that the Government are
making satisfactory arrangements for
dealing with such cases. New Zealand, in
this instance, as in some others, has
shown praiseworthy desire to keep
abreast with modern reforms.

BLUE RIBBON.

[R S. S. came to this Office the other
day with almost fac smile of the
communication which appeared in the
Gazette" We declined to publish it
on the ground that he was not a
fit person to write on the subject of tenn
perance. We are still strongly Of the
same opinion. r. S. S. was asked if he
heard the Bishops sermon. He said he
did not, but he knew the Bishop would
not preach in such way. To satisfy
ourselves we made inquiries from sew
eral persons, and found, as our CORE
spondent has stated, that a sermon was
preached by the Bishop against temper
ance organizations, and that Mr.. GoWen
referred to it in the same evening. Tenn
perance is a subject r. S. S. should
leave quietly alone.-ED.]

WAR IN THE FUTURE.

1t will certainly be a curious result of
time if ''bloated ornaments" the use of
scientific discoveries, and a reliance on
fertilization, should, says the "Specta-
tor" bring us back to campaigns model
led on those waged in the reign of
Queen Anne. The warfare which pre-
coded the advent of Gustavus was one
of sieges, and battle was an accident
Condo, Turenne, Montecuculi, and MARI
borough combined both methods; Fred
erick sieged little, marched and man
Ruvred much; but the large free
dom of movement did not pre-
vail until the age of Napoleon.
The forts and fortresses, not so
long ago abandoned, have now re-
turned, and an invader who desires to go
from the Niemen to Berlin, or from the
Rhine to Paris, Will have to beslegeg
blockade, or carry by assault these OBJ
stacles IN his path. Gallicia and Belg-
ium are OPEN but the Maritime Alps
bristle with forts, and Holland still relies
upon its foundations. Nevertheless, as
the best laid schemes o mice and ms u
gang aft a gley," it is not improbable Ii at
the mighty defensive arrangements m. y
fail, or be circumvented in some uu-
looked for way, and there may be aga
manGuvres and battles. Who can say
how they will be fought? Who can say
that superior craft, backed by judicious
daring, viii not once more contrive to be
superior in number on the decisive
point, and that, like house OF cards,
whole section OF carefully prepared de-
fences will not go down before the vic
torious wind of a single battle? The
days are gone by when the issue of such
conflict could be decided by the "rush
OF a wild boar" The shattering Mast
OF modern guns and hail of mapazisa
rifles have put stop to the headlon8 ),

An exchange, in showing how impos- sible it is to run newspaper to suit every one, says: ''If an editor omits anything he is lazy. If he reports things as they are, people are mad; if he tones down the rough points, he is bribed; if he does not furnish his readers with jokes, he is prosy; if he does, he is a rattlehead and lacks stability; if he con- demns the wrong, he lacks discretion ; If he lets wrong go unmentioned, he is coward; if he indulges in personalities, he is blackguard; if he does not. his paper is dull and insipid."

TATE SPRINGS, TENN, July 4, 1888. The Swift Specific Co.,, Atlanta, Ga:
 During the spring of 1871, while working in the field at my home in Morgan county, Ga, pulled of my shoes to give my feet rest. Unfortunately, walked into clump of poison oak, and in a few days my feet were in a terrible condition, and could not put on shoe because of the soreness and swelling. was treated as poison oak cases usually are, and everything was healed up. About the same time the following spring, 1872, my feet became sore again, as at first, and every succeeding spring for five yaers brought back the same condition of the ois- ease, only each time it became more dis tressing, because began to think 1t was lifetime trouble. Finally, was induced to try Swift's Specific. took six bottles, and today am entirely we'll. My improvement was gradual from the first, and no evidence of the disease remains. I shall take pleas- ure in testifying as to its curative proper ties. It is the greatest blood purifier in ex- istence. Yours truly, J. L. MORGAN.

A writer in La Nature remarks that
the streets OF our American cities have
been laid out with the tape-line and at
right angles. This, he observes, is very
fine from a Reometrical standpoint, but
carries with livery serious consequences
from an economical point of view. In
fact, il We walk along the two sides of
q square instead of following diagonal,
the distance is increased in the proper
ton of 40 per cent; that is to say, IN
stead of walking 100 feet, We walk 140.
Hence loss OF time, strength, and
money. Professor Haupt has calculated
that the opening of two diagonal streets
in Philadelphia 1850, 900 inhabitants)
would reduce the extreme distances by
one mile and quarter. The annual
number Of passengers carried by the
cars being 1875, 600, 600, the total saving
would reach about $1s0,000 per mile
travelled. The passengers would gain

The writer OF ''Under the Rays of the

scene in the Arctic regions. The
steamer was passing the northern shore
of the Scandinavian peninsula, the great
frozen north on the one side, and on the
other what seemed q continuous noun
tain wall, falling into the sea. AT
length we round the cape of the PENN
sula, and see the famous bird mountain,
Svaerholtklub, jet black in color, one Of
the most remarkable sights in the world.
Along every one of the innumerable ter
races, caused by the stratiform forma-
kion of the mountain, and all of which
run nearly horizontal, white birds sit in
rows, like the porcelain jars in drug
gist's shop, one above the other, so close
that the mountain in many places has
the appearance of being covered with
snow. A jet of smoke issues from the
port side, and the next moment the re-
port of gun reverberates through the
air In second we gaze on the grand
est and most marvellous spectacles it Is
given human eyes to behold. From
every terrace and cavity in the noun
tain snos-white birds issue in millions
looking at first like gigantic foaming
torrent-which rise and descend in enor-
nous fockR, with deafening cries, and
so great is their number that at times
mountain, sky and sun are obscured."
