IN PRAISE OF HOT WATER.

IF I were asked what woman best
friend is" said the doctor thoughtfully,
81 SHOULD say hot water. If she drinks
hot water an hour before her breakfast
she will be able to ward off dyspepsia.
If she drinks hot water Favored with
lemon and sweetened with sugar when
she has been out in the cold she will
ward off chills. The same agreeable
medicine taken early enough in the pro-
gress of a cold will stop it. When a nerI
vous headache makes the forehead throb
and the back of the neck ache, hot water
will relieve the pain.
For tired eyes, infamed eyelids and
styes," continued the doctor, nothing is
so good as hot water. The eyes should
be sopped with a cloth dipped in boiling
water. Sprains may be relieved greatly
by soaking the afflicted member in hot
water for half an hour at a time and
Bruises yielded to much the same treat
ment although such long soaking is un-
necessary. Wounds and sores may be
treated by pouring hot water on them
for a few minutes at a time. Very hot
water applied to a bleeding cut will stop
the flow of blood frequently.
Then for mere comfort" he went on,
bag full of 1t makes one Indifferent to
cold. Wrapped in a flannel and put on
the floor Of a carriage it is Invaluable.
She VINO suffers from cold feet at night
has but to fill a hot water bag to know
what comfort is. Sufferers from sleep
drowsy after a hot bath. Wrinkles flee
before it, and blackheads vanish before
its constant use. Great is hot water

THOU SHALT NOT KILL.
The Rev. Mr.. Morgan breaches
Arafnsf Ip ia ntfcfda

! The Rev. j. Francis Morgan, Pastor OF
the Park Reformed Church, has been
| preaching a series of sermons to his con-
~gregation on the Commandments. Yes
terday morning he devoted his attention
to the sixth. He spoke more particularly
of infanticide.
"Al life is sacred" he said. Human
life should never be taken. 1t is right
and proper to risk ones life in the army
in doing a work in case of a pest.lence,
in life saving on the coast, self-defence
or in defence of family. The State does
not break the Sixth Commandment by
taking the life of criminals. In that case
it is the hand of God melting out punish
| ment.''
He spoke of suicide at length, and
said:-
Some break the Sixth Commandment
by giuttony; some it kills in minutes,
others in years. I-ntemperance, dissipa-
ton and the evil cramping of the body
by fashion is violating the commandment.
Our bodies are the temple of God, and
they belong to Him.
Living in badly ventilated rooms was
another violation of the commandment,
the speaker said, and he denounced the
Trinity Church corporation for it's vile
dens in which people live in a deplorable
manner He spoke of uncleanliness, and
characterized it as a sin, and said that
every PERSONS body should be kept clean
and free from disease germs.
1--WE should always bear in mind our
duties to others.' he went on. 9Th
man who sells intoxicants is a breaker
of all commandments. They surround
people with unclean morals. To sell a
person that which does not give value
is to rob, and value is never received
from saloon-keepers."
He spoke of the oppression by capital
of child labor. too long hours, of capital
requiring men to work seven days in
the week.
"The trouble in Brooklyn is not Sc
much long hours and poor pay, he said.
There is a deeper cause. Watereo
stocks, false values, all go to precipitate
trouble If the commandments were
obeyeG the trouble would cease. Man
should love his brother, and when this
feeling prevails the laboring man will
have a chance with the capitalist. Ar
eminent authority of England says tina
are unnecessary, and in direct violation
of the Sixth Commandment"
A report was read showing a fearful
spread of infanticide.
1--WE read with horror the preacher
continued, "of heathens abandoning child
rem to die. 1t is alarming to Christian
men how extensive has become infan-
ticide in our country. We read unblush-
ing advertisements in our papers of mails
and female doctors who proclaim their
calling. 1t is high time the clergy looked
this matter up and expressed opinions
which will be heard with fear by out
wardly moral families. This sin is the
enemy of the home and the deadly foe
of the Church. Sunday school and ma,
ton. All such violators of the Sixth
| Commandment are ranked as murderers.r

Jersey CITY Council Attends Divine
Service at h Park Church.

Jersey City Council No. 50, Royal Ar
canum, attended divine service m a body
at the Park Reformed Church last night.
A sermon, interesting in every particular,
was preached by the Rev. j. Francis
Morgan, the Pastor. He spoke of the
power of God and advised everyone to
seek Him He spoke of the miracles of
God, and said that people should trelnble
at such miracles as are brought to the
world in earthquakes. The greatest
miracle of Cod" he said, "is the saliva

miracles .nfthea Islands of the South Seas,
where the people, one low and de-
graded, haYe schools and churches, edut

same strain of Fiji Islands and New
Hebrides, and finally of Hawaii. He said
no obstinate political move could ever
place a heather Queen on the throne
again.
1.-The triumph of Christianity he said,
has been thorough and permanent. The
power of God is everywhere, and it shows
not only our regeneration, but our pres

and what God had begun he will finish.

WHAT a lesson to greedy corporations
the Brooklyn trolley strike is! Here are
the traction companies of hat city losing
some $780, coo a day, if not more, because
they refused to show ordinary humanity
to their men.
A fight like this is never really wasted.
1t is true the poor men in Brooklyn are
sure to be beaten. Their W riotous
folly has settled that, even if they had
not had no chance from the outset. But
the injury inflicted on the corporations
win put the fear of God in directors in
other cities.

ness and anarchy, is it not true that
this mpan v~iolates the law with i'm
punity?
For whose benefit is all this military
power evoked? Certainly not to compel
them to keep the law and deal justly
with the men. but wholly to protect
them against the danger of r~etribution
from the men. The time will come
when these things shall cease-when the
church and public will arise to their
duty and realize they are fostering a
heathenish economic system. These ends
will either be attained by degrees or by
revolution, by which the present foun-
dalton of society will be overthrown.
There should be a law compelling imme-
date arbitration. The municipalities
should own and operate their W lines,
the same as our postal service.
No wonder. when the poor man finds
these powerful corporate interests
grinding him, he becomes desperate and
commits acts of la~wlessness. He sees

If it had not been for former Republic
can Legislatures and the burdens they
heaped upon this city under a regime of
legislative commissions, the sum total
would be about s15,O 900, 900 less than it is.
This, it is well for every taxpayer to
remember.
But even as it is, the debt is probably
one of the lightest in the country, con-
sidering the value of property in the
county. Mr.. Pinnell is authority for
the statement that the total assessed
value of real and personal property in
Hudson County is s147. SO7, 800. The real
value is about double that, or $500, 900,
00l. For instance. in this city, real estate
is assessed at about rs per cent. of its
value and personal property at not over
20 per cent. In Hoboken the assessment
is even at a lower percentage, and in
all other parts of the county still lower.
It is no wonder Hudson's credit is
good.

The statesman.hIp OF dine Day.

The World yesterday had an article
on the second rate statesmen of the day
in which it was properly severe upon the
men who are now running European
politics. 1t said very truly that Carnot,
Casimir-Perier. Ribot ct al. were below
Hohenlohe and Caprivi were not knee
high TO Bismarck; that Wikerli and
Banffy were very small when compared
with Kossuth or Metternich; that Rose
berry was not a Gladstone, and that Bal
four was not even a Beaconstield. It
might have gone further and lamented
the days of Cavour, of Sagasta, of Cas-
telar, and nave ended with a wall for
the death of De Gers.
are our statesmen? Putting aside the
President, who is wise, earnest and patri-
otto, have we a man to place even in the
second rank of statesmen? If we have,
he belongs to the moribund epoch like
old Hnmbug John Sherman, or the ice
pillar from Vermont, Mr.. Edmunds.
Our public affairs are in pretty hands:
-"Dave", Hll. Jim Smith, German,
Frye, Reed. Hill is able without being
wise or honest; Smith is small ana
shrewd and selfish; German is crooked
and stupid: Frye is a narrow crank, and
Reed isaa coarse juggler. We have upon
us a political crisis equal to any that ex-
.sts in Europe-indeed, it concerns the
individual welfare of our people far more
h any question pending in any coun-
try in Europe. And we ave no man
who can offer a remedy, and our National
Legislature lacks either the patriotism or
he energy-or both-to take up the ques-
ton seriously.
