NOT YET HA7CHED.

Some people in Russia seem to be counting chickens before they are matched. Had England been victori- ous in South Africa" says the Moscow Gazette, fit would not have had much effect in Europe, but her final defeat may be followed by vast new univer- sal policy, in which Russia would take the leading part As matters stan1 to- day, that moment can scarcely be far off. All those points of the world where English and Russian interests are in conflict and which are not accessible to the British fleet will fall into Rus sia's hands" The Austro- Russian agreement made two and a half years ago having assured peace in the Balkan Peninsula, Russia, the Gazette contin- ues, has free hand to execute her plans in Asia, which are of more im- portance to her than anything else. Events in South Africa will not fail to stimulate Russia's spirit of enterprise in the Far East.''
 This is frank enough and it is sis- nlficant. But it may not be entirely safe for Russia to let her spirit of enter prise in the Far East be stimulated bv the notion that England is going to be defeated in South Africa.

UYURE pROTESTS,

The tobacco growers of New England will not be alone in their fight against free trade with our new possessions It is announced that the Savannah Truck Growers association will meet soon to take steps against the admis- sion of Puerto Rico and the Philippine Islands within the tariff wall of the United States The associations will cooperate with the sugar-producing in- terests of Louisiana. It is asserted that both Puerto Rico and the Philippines are producers of rice, and with the tar if bars let down they would grow inn mense quantities Of rice with coolie la- bor and flood our markets to the ruina- ton of the home-rice interests, and that the same applies to sugar It Is further pointed out that Puerto Rico is as close to the northern markets for truck and vegetables as Savannah and Jackson vile. If Puerto Rico fruits and vege- tables were let in free they would catch the cream and profit of the northern market, to the detriment of the growers in Georgia and Florida.
 We are anxious to civilize and Chris- tianize our new brothers and sisters, but 1t must be understood that business is business.

tains four tablespoonfuls of alcohol tc

tains four tablespoonfuls of alcohol to pint.
 During long and laborious profes- sional life l have never taken of alco- hol and it's derivatives what would amount to a single pint of absolute al- cohol. I have prescribed just as little of it as I could, and have never admin istered it to any of my children, even in severe illness, and they are now or adult age.
 Alcohol and its derivatives are too thoughtlessly used and too carelessly prescribed by our profession, and any physician who has permitted his pa tients to become habitues through his counsel or neglect has not been true friend to the unfortunate sufferers. Far better and more sure than the cure of the unfortunate is the preventive work which every physician, by every obligation to his fellow-men, is consci- entiously bound to do.
 I am positive that with our profess sion, more than with any other class of persons, lies the possibility of prevent ing the alcohol disease By virtue of their sacred office physicians are, or ever should be, the protectors of the individual and the home, and the guar dians of the public welfare.-Dr. c. A. Greene in the Medical Record.

THE FAMINE Iy yyDr.

Some official facts concerning tbe famine in India have been forwarded to the Lord Mayor of London by the Sec-
 retary of State for India. The latter says that large regions in Ra1putana. central India, Northern Bombay, Berar. the Central Provinces, and the South ern Punjab are affected. It is possible that distress may also be felt in parts of the Northwestern Provinces and the Deccan. Some of these regions. espe- cially certain districts of the Central Provinces, suffered severely in the fam inc of 1S96-97. In Bengal, Burma. and
 the greater part of Madras good bar- vests are expected, and in the rest of India the crops will probably be fair
 The government of India reported some weeks ago that probably 350,0O0 square miles and population of 30,O0O, 900 would be affected by famine. The pressure has come rapidly and unusu- ally early in the season; but the relief arrangements appear to have been promptly organized. At the end of No- vember 2,2O5,O0O people were in receipt of famine relief, and the latest detailed figures November 1S) show that of the then totals about three-quarters were employed and paid on relief works, while nearly one-quarter were relieved gratuitously at their homes or other wise. Of the total numbers receiving relief on November 30, 1,573 900 were in British districts and 27,00O in native states. The rulers Of native states have been helped by means of loans and in other ways to give relief wherever it is needed, and also to organize relief op- erations on the most effective system. No estimate has yet been made of the extent to which relief may eventually be, required before the next rainy sea- son brings succor, but it is feared that cattle may suffer even more seriously than their owners. Prices of food are high. more especially in the famine dis tricts but there is yet no sign that food will not be carried by traders from prosperous to needy parts of India.

The Railway Age estimates the mile age built in the year just ended at 4,5OO miles, the greatest gains being in Iowa, Minnesota, Arkansas, Pennsylvania. South Carolina, Louisiana, California, Michigan, Oklahoma, Alabama. Missis- sippi, Georgia, Idaho, Florida, New Mexico, Illinois and Utah. The South appears to have made large gains, re- gard being had to it's proportion of the area of the Union. The record of 1899 exceeds that of any year since 1890, when 5,67O miles of railroad were built
