CAUGHT riiET sriRIT OF UNREST.
Australian sf'femicr Speaks of the
Inft WAR scare.

SYDNEY. Y. s. w. Dec S1.-Premier
Reed, speaking teday at meeting which
the governor, 1t Hon Henry Rober; Hamp-
den, had called, d$elt on his belief that the
commercial tr6ubhs of the last eighteen
months were 6terl He feared that our over
sensitive cousmssot America had caught the
contagion Of universal unrest, and that there
were thousands Of Americans who would
plunge the whole Anglo-Saxon race into the
most wanton and destructive war Of the
century over a few square miles of fever
breeding jungle, to which no sane man in the
forty-four states of the union would send
his pet dog So stupendous crime seemed
impossible. The hearts OF the Anglo-Saxon
race were too full Of kindred blood. There
was a united Britain and united Canada
and he hoped soon to add Australia. The
Australian nation might soon have to stand
shoulder to shoulder IL it was to stand at
all. He never liked the military argument
for federation. but they could not shut their
eyes to the fact that If they did not come
together, they might soon be driven together
by the sheer force of events.

PORTLAND, Dec. 31.-The prospects for
reorganizing the Oregon Railway and Naviga-

called for an assessment of the stock. which
has been resisted by sufficient number of
stockholders to prevent Its contamination.
Whether Mr.. Mcneil has given up hope OF
accomplishing reorganization is not known,
but that he has met with sufficient opposition
to delay matters is no longer a secret. The
Union Pacific people holding stock in the Ore
gon Improvement company are said to be the
active spirits in opposing tais, ana in this
they are said to have the powerful assistance
of Mr.. Huntington Of the Southern Pacific,

hammer to satisfy the bondholders. 1t is
possible Mr.. Mcneil has yet plans for the
reorganization that may meet with success.

OId-fashioned Cures for CuIds

Now is the season of coughs and
colds, and in spite Of the many patent
liniments, lozenges and cough drops
upon the market, it may not be out of
place to recall how grandmother treat
ed these complaints.
For the chill not yet developed into
q cold she prescribed an immediate
foot bath, as hot az could be endured,
and kept so by additions Of boiling
water for some quarter of an hour; by
this time the chilled blood was thor
oughly warmed again and the patient
was at liberty to go where he would
without the fear Of catching further
cold which a complete hot bath leaves.
It is not easy to count on successes of
prevention, but never saw anyone
who applied this remedy Immediately
after the chill who suffered from the
expected cold.
The juice of lemon, with sugar and
boiling water to taste, taken after 60
ing to bed has wsrded off many cold.
This may be taken with advantage
after the cold Is thoroughly estab-
lished, whereas whisky and water,
though useful in stRving Oft a cold. Is
not to be recommended after any in
fammatory symptom has appeared.
Those grandmothers who pinned
their faith to the disagreeable gave cal
volatile in hot water instead Of lemon
juice. Camphor, more disagreeabie
still, they looked on doubtfuily as a
new invention, and in taking camphor
it ia we'll to bear in mind that it is a
narcotic poison of uncertain action.
For cold in the head, most distress
ing Of all colds, the grandmother pre-
scribed hot foot bath with handful
of dry mustard in it, basin Of Cruel
