been a miracle in Montreal
At the million dollar fire which oc-
CURED in that city on Saturday last
and which had been given them by
warehouses in the rear of the famous
parish church Of Notre Dame, grave
fears were entertained for the safety
Of the stately pile. and at one period
almost every hope Of saving it had dis
appeared.
At this moment the sisters sent to the
firemen a piece of blue ribbon which is
said to have belonged to st. Amable,
and whicn had been give nthem by
Mon'r Bruchesi. The captain of the
first brigade was asked to throw the
ribbon into the flames where they
Threatened the church most. and it is
declared that Immediately after ne had
done SO the fire mlrlculously subsided
in that direction and the church was
saved.
A similar miracle is said to have been
wrought in this city some time ago.

Scots Turn Against Whisky,

We learn that in Scotland new society
has been formed, with his Grace, the Duke
of Sutherland, as president, to be called
the Scottish Self-Control Society,"" or,
briefly, the "S S. s." The members un-
iertake three things:
First-Not to drink intoxicants before
noon or at any time except at a regular
neal.
Second-Not to treat-i. e., not to Of
Ter or to accept alcoholic drinks except
with a regular meal.
Third-Not to give or to accept drink
In return for services rendered.
That in a country like Scotland, famous
for its religious, intellectual and academic
superiority, the people, without distinc-
lion of church or class, should consume
alcohol, chiefly in the strong form of
whisky at all times and on all occasions
aas long been an inexplicable fact. We
70 not know whether the 'Ten Tumbler
Club" still survives, but it is not many
5ears since its existed, and included men
IF high character and celebrity. When eld-
ers and professors have been involved in
.he habit of drinking poisonous quantity
of alcohol daily how could high standard
Of national sobriety be expected? The
Use of whisky by the Scotch has proved

There was fifty-six times as much liquor
