1t is a well known fact that hunger pre-
disposes to certain diseases, says The Med
ical Press, but it has been reserved to two
Turin doctors to demonstrate the in
creased liability experimentally. Their OBJ
seryations were carried out with the viru.
Of bacillus anthrax on pigeons, disease to
which these birds are, under ordinary cir
cumstances, refractory. They found, how
ever, that six days total deprivation of
food rendered the birds amenable to the
virus, on condition that food was still
withheld. If, however, food was given at
the same time as the virus then they still
successfully resisted infection. Further,
when starvation was continued for two
days after the incubation, and food then
given, the development of the disease,
though not prevented, ran slower course.
Lastly, the virus proved capable Of infect
ing birds well fed up to the date Of inocu-
lation, but starved subsequently. The
line Of investigation is evidently one which
admits of further research, but the mora
Is obvious.

Good Form in Addressing a Lady.


A lady who has not been married and is
no longer young should be addressed and
mentioned by every one, except her house
hold, with the prefix OF Miss" before her
name, even though the number OF dangh-
tiers in her family makes it necessary for
the sake Of defniteness to include her
baptismal name also when mentioning her.
To use a first name when conversing with
An elderly unmarried woman is in bad
form. Had the fine old custom been re-
tanned of addressing matrons and all I'M
welded women who were no longer youth
full as Mistress -, speech with them
would be far more elegant than it is-Mrs..
as a word, meaning nothing.
In notes and speech, a young unmarried
lady is addressed as Miss - by gentle
men, mere acquaintances and servants,
but her own family and kinsfolks, also her
intimate friends, call her by the name
which was given 10 her at baptism, and 1t
Is not considered in good form to speak to
or of her otherwise. The use Of Miss" by
her own circle leaves no distinctive method
by which remoter persons may speak to OF
OF young girl. This formality may be
criticised, but, according to the social
etiquette of New York, it is the usage OF
the very best society and has an excellent
reason underlying 1t.
For dear woman friend to speak to, OF
indeed of, young lady by any but her hrs'
name, except to a social inferior, would o.
inelegant for the reason already gwen.

Promptness at meals is virtue OF which
absence has caused deep anguish of spirit
TO countless long suffering housewives.
The Hardness at breakfast from indulgence
in last nap, or at luncheon from too
protracted shopping expedition, or at din

Harper's Bazaar reminds sinners in this re-
spect that to the housekeeper it means In
Jury TO the food and disturbance OF her
own peace OF mind. The habit of always
being ready when a meal is announced
should lie especially binding upon guest:
For one who is receiving the hospitality OF
home, to requite it by disregarding its
customs Is the extreme OF i'll breeding.
Conformity to the rules OF the house in
this espect, and in the particular OF not
presenting ones self in the drawing room
at an uncanny hour in the morning, should
be observed by all visitors, while the duty
of being always ready on time when in
,yited to take drive OF to 20 TO some en-
.tertainment would seem too obvious to be
mentioned were It not that one sees this
unwritten law so constantly violated.

ETHER DRINKING.
A New Form of Intoxication and Its
Effects Upon the System.

A New Form of Intoxication and It's
Effects Upon the System.
A curious habit now attracting attention
in Ireland is that OF ether drinking. Ac-
cording to statistics recently commented
upon by DR.. Henry Conkling in the Brook
lyn Medical Journal the habit is of late
years on the increase. The ether is sold to
the consumers in groceries, taverns and
public houses, selling for two cents United
States money for two drains. Its very
small cost enables the dose to be frequent
ly repeated From two drains to half an
ounce is the amount usually drunk; and
this il repeated from two to six times dur
ing the day, depending on the personal
habits. One or two cases of confirmed
drinkers are mentioned where one pint of
ether was generally used, when on a de-
bauch, in divided doses.
The amount that produces intoxication
depends on the individual The ether is
drunk in a single swallow, sometimes di-
luted, and again taken pure. The intoxi-
eating effects are quickly produced, and
quickly pass away. 1t is possible, there
fore, for an habitue to become into xicated
many times in short period.
A small dose causes a feeling of ex-
hilaration, tho drinker laughing, dancing,
and being quite wild in his movements. II
the small dose be not exceeded, there is nc
period Of marked depression following the
stimulation, but in larger quantities a
state of stupor is frequently present, and
as the effect passes away feeling OF
weakness is left. Mania is marked
feature very commonly presented, the
drinkers often becoming very violent.
In ether drinkers who have continuously

GLADSTOEIAN RURkL REFORM
He Receives an ovation No other Livins
Englishman Ever Received.

by Gable 10 The Iimesl
LoSnoN. Dec. 1.-The committee OF the
National Liberal Federation this morning
gave q banquet to tho delegates from tho ru-
raj constituencies who attended tho great
Liberal conference held yesterday az the
Memorial Hall The banquet was held at the
famous Holbarn restaurant. and was largely
attended. many of the most prsminent LIB
eral members being present.
Mr. Gladstone. who was present at the
urgent request of the Liberal leaders. though
the grand old man is only passing through
London EN- route 20 the continent received
an ovation as no other living Englishman
could receive. During the course of the ban
quet Mr.. Gladstone made most important
address upon the subject of rural reform. IN
which he practically pledged the Lib
eral party 20 advocate and earnestly
push forward all the reform measures
forming the platform of rural voters, or
IN other words. the reforms they demand
IN exchange for their support at the coming
general election. The labor question had now
assumed. said Alr. Gladstone about the same
proportions and aspects as the home rule
question; because. he explained. the Irish
farmer was really struggling with the agricul-
tural labor. The project of organizing rural
labor was he continued. tho foremost cues
tion now before the British public. as the
constant and damaging migration of rural

sively.
Continuing, he touched upon the question
of the reduction of the hours of labor and
said that he was in favor OF reducing the
amount Of toni exacted from the working
classes in general. bat be desired that such
reduction should be made without any vio-
lation of the rights Of the employer or Of
those employed. If the rural reforms adyo-
Gated were carried out the speaker said. he
saw the way clearly 10 better condition Of
the rural population. Society. he added, had
not performed its duty when il sent
the aged and blameless laborer to the work
house. The laborer. he claimed. had right
20 be placed in the position Of being able %
put q spade into his own land. and the Parish
councils he had already referred TO were the
only means of securing him this right and OF
securing an adequate working of the small al
lotment plan # relief for the rural commu-
mites
After Mr.. Gladstone had concluded his re-
marks the assemblage most enthusiastically
passed voto of thanks 10 the venerable
statesman for his presence at the banquet. It
is evident that the great interest taken in Mr..
Gladstones recent public utterances are not
only because both the libera' and Conserya-
tivos like TO hear what the "G. O. NJ" has to
say on all questions but because the advanced
age and alleged infrmates of tho great states
man are not lost sight Of and therefore there
is no knowing but that the last speech uttered
