The Congress of the Argentine Repub-

The clergy had arrogated this privilege

In consequence, morals had sunk to

sorrowful address from DR.. McGlynn at
the quarterly meeting Wednesday. The

purposes, and placed the money in the
hands of 'workers" in each district, there
being go or more for every district
But strangely enough some districts did
not cast single united labor vote, and
the total ballot did not reflect to great
degree any honest or dishonest applica-
ton of the So 500. The workers had evil
IDENTIFY pocketed each his $40 or more and
then doubled their money by selling out
their own votes to the enemy; at least,
this seems TO be DR.. McGlynu's opinion
Moreover, in HE view, "boodle" candi-
date for mayor (Coogan) had not helped
matters, for the taste of his money had
only sharpened the appetite Tor more.
The result was not such as TO encourage
the raising of more money for election
purposes by the society. Poor human
uatu-e seems to be very much the same
whether engaged in abolishing poverty
throug h an nti-poverty society or through
corporate rings.

year, 9,OCG in 1886, 1850 in 1882, 1886
in 1881, and Z, 1916 in 1871; otherwise the
record of the year exceeds that of all
others. Bot the mileage, while large, has
been so scattered AS to attract ne great
attention, and has only in moderate de-

THE tribuiations of the women who
voted at the recent municipal election III
Boston have only just begun, for one de-
feated candidate for alderman has given
notice that he intends to contest the
sea- of his successful rival, and general
contest before the courts is expected
The contests rest on the fact that the
women voted illegally for the office of
alderman. This law gives them the priv
iIege of voting only for members of the
school board. In Massachusetts,, however,
the names OF candidates for all offices
are printed on one ballot, as was pro-
posed by the so called Saxton bill. 1t is
now alleged that many women voted seine
straight ticket from top to bottom" and
in consequence cast fraudulent votes.

A most curious paper has been found
in the archives OF the Nuremburg-Fur-
ther railway. tho first railway con-
structed in Germany 1t is the Official
opinion Of the Bavarian high medical
collegium concerning the probable eff
feet Of the general Introduction Of rail-
way travel upon the hsalthof Bavarian
subjects The rapidly OF the new
transit would, according to the learned
doctors, certainly cause a brain dis
ease which would eventually develop
into delirium furiosum." OF course
every one who wished to expose him
self to this consequence Of the new
mode Of travel might be allowed to do
so undisturbed by the State. Other
persons. however, should be protected
from the perils attendant upon the
rapid locomotion. Spectators by the
wayside were liable to brain trouble
after merely watching the passing
steamers. Therefore, the railway and
cars should be concealed from view by
close board fences at least five yards
high. All things considered, q better
way Of protecting the subjects Of The
Bavarian crown would BE- to forbid al
together the construction Of The rail
way. The opinion was given in 1881
in response to a Government inquiry. :

How and When to Drink Water.


According to DR.. Leuf. when water is
taken into the full or partly full
stomach, it does not mingle with the
food. as We are taught utpasses along
quickly between the food and lesser
curative toward the pylorus, through
which it passes into the intestines. The
secretion Of mucus by the lining mem-
brane is constant, and during the night
a considerable amount accumulates in
the stomach; some OF its liquid portion
Is absorbed, and that which remains is
thick and tenacious II food is taken
into the stomach when In this
condition it becomes coated with this
mucus, and the secretion OF the gastric
Juice and its action are delayed. These
facts show tho value OF q goblet Of
water before breakfast This washes
out the tenacious mucus, and stimulates
the gastric glands to secretion. In old
and feeble persons water should not be
taken cold. but it may be taken with
great advantage taken warm or hot.
This removal Of the accumulated mu-
Gus is probably one Of the reasons why
taking soup at the beginning Of meal
has been found SO beneficial. Medical
