Farmer Bradley, of Melrose. a few

for a coon hunt. Near noon the dog
started something and, after running

the tree several times without discov-

to be raccoon, but presently discov-

AMERICAN COMMERCE OPENS IN

A voyage ofunprecedented signlii-
canoe will be that of the Phlla-
delphia, a merchant ship which left
New York yesterday for the Cuban
city of Santiago. Although Gen.
Blanco, with an army Of over lOO.-
600 men, holds Havana, for peace
already exists between the United
States and Cuba's Eastern end, and
its fruits are already dropping for
Santiago's starving and idle and for
American commerce. When Cuba
has been swept clean of Spain our
trade with it will be meny times
multiplied over that of the past.
Meanwhile a change is being Ell
fected along the route across the
Pacific Two thousand miles OH
San Francisco, not far from the
straight way to Manila, is Honolulu
where the American flag already
floats. Wake island, in the Ansor
archipelago, 1,S00 miles further
westward, has been similarly deco
rated. Twelve hundred miles
westerly from Wake, the stars anc
stripes are floating over the Ladront
island of Guam, from the citade
where the Spanish governor regret
ted that he had not powder to re
turn the Charleston's salute. "A
the end of another ,2O0-mile course
west from Guam is Manila, 60C
miles from Hong Kong.
Ships which need frequent coal
ing will find on the voyage iron

first stage, or the one to the Sand
wich islands, will be the longest t
be covered without finding a stop

will be sold.
Does it need a man who has fol

by contrasting his own town with

All Of these well known diseases
occur principally during the sum.
mer and autumn.
Cholera morbus is caused by inn
proper food and sudden chilling of
the body alter exposure to great
heat. Certain substances will pro-
duce it in certain persons, such for
instance as veal, raw milk taken
fresh, or shell fish, and all dishes
cooked with milk. such as rice pud-
ding, cream puffs and even ice
cream, when kept tco long. Un-
ripe and overripe fruit. especially if
taken with large draughts Of ice
water, will also cause it but sound,
ripe iruit is natural food in hot
weather and wholesome. Avoid be-
coming chilled during sleep. In
climate as changeable as ours,
light blanket should always be at
hand, to be drawn up in case it sud
denly becomes cold during the
night. Persistent summer diarrhoea
is usually caused by malaria, sewer
air or impure water. The condi-
tions liable to contaminate air and
water should be carefully sought
out and remedied. The water can
be rendered safe by boiling.
As dysentery is often epidemic, it
is wise to consider every case as a
possible source Of danger to others,
and to uisinfect the discharges with
the greatest care. IN. HURTY,

| have long had TIE conviction
that there is no greater cause OF evil,
moral and physical, in this country
than the use Of alcoholic beverages.
| have no hesitation in attributing a
very large proportion OF some OF the
most painful maladies which come
under my notice as well as those
which every medical man has to
treat, to the ordinary and daily use
lof fermented drink taken in the
quantity which is conventionally
deemed moderate. But i'll venture
one step further it would be to ex.
press belief that there is no single
habit in this country which so much
tends to deteriorate the qualities q
the race, and SO much disqualifies i
lfor endurance in that competition
which in the nature Of things mus
exist, and in which struggle the
prize Of superiority must fall to th'
best and to the strongest.
