The Lord Mayor Of London recently
entertained thirty.seven total abstinence
mayors from % many different cities in
England.
The Caristian Uhion, in commenting
upon the "orginal package" decision,
says, more far-reaching effect of this
decision may be to give standing to
the prohibitory party as a national or.
ganization. Hitherto temperance men
have favored stringent, anti.liquor legis-
lation, have yet equally strenuously op.
posed the prohibitory party, because
they have maintained doctrine Of local
option-that is the right of each locality
to regulate the sale Of liquor for itself.
We have ourselves been Of this inclina.
ton, and our opinion may, therefore, be
at least regarded a. disinterested. This
decision compels everyone to recognise
that prohibition is national issue.

drops ofaqua ammonia in hot milk given
in small quantities every few minutes
will prove efficatious. Florence Night
ingale In her notes on nursery recon.
mends hot tea very strongly. She says
that in the Crimean hospital she direct
ed the nurses to give cup Of hot tea to
the weakest patients about three O'Clock
in the morning, the time vital forces
are the lowest and more patients die
than at any hour Of the twenty.four.
This, she feels assured, tided many q
patient over the turning point, who
without It would have died.
DR.. Nathan 8. Davis, the Nestor Of
American physicians, testiAes that for
80 years he has tested the efficacy Of
non'alcoholic medication, and has found
no case Of disease and NO emergency
arising from accident that he could not
treat more successfully without any form
Of fermented or distilled liquor than with
it.

The women crusaders, of Missouri

breakers" for their vigorous action in
closing up sundry illegal saloons in that
State, have found champion in Judge
James Baker, of Evanston, Illinois, who
claims that these women were not onl,
