indians and the Liquor Traffic.

The price paid by Indians for liquor
is in proportion to the risk incurred
in supplying it. This opens up a field
for a lucrative though dangerous traf.
iic, which has created a class of pro-
curers. who trade upon their knowl.
edge of the fact that not only will H.
quor. if INDUCED in at all. provoke a
far stronger craving in an Indian than
in an ordinary white man, but it will
so act upon the improvidence, which
is SC strong a characteristic of his
constitution, as to render him reck.
less as to the cost at which he graft
fies the passion when excited.
Thus. while the high price may
serve to deter an Indian, when free
from the craving, from going In quest
of liquor, 1t offers a strong induce.
ment to the procurer to tempt him to
indulge. There is no doubt that this
kind of temptation is the cause of
much of the drinking that Is done by
Indians, more especially in Manitoba
and the North West Territories.
Every effort is made to discover
and punish the miscreants who sup
ply the Indians with intoxicants. but
as the Indians who receive the liquo:
are. as a rule. the only witnesses to
such transactions, and to give informa.
ton would cut them of from all hope
of procuring further supplies, it is
next to impossible to extract from
them any confession.

Literary Notes,

In A Bit of Human Nature" the
complete novel OF the September Lip.
pincott's Magazine, Mrs Ellen Olney
Kirk has opened u new vein OF exquisite
social humor. She has been known for
pleasant satire in Queen Money" and
margaret Kent. but in "A Bit of HUI
man Nature" she passes from satire 10
charming comedy, and there is not a
dry line in the novel IL relates the
CONSERVATION aroused in family which
has expectations for its spoiled son.
These are found to be divided with an
unknown girl on the condition that the
two shall marry or one refuses the other.
She decides 10 make him decline, and
her diverting efforts form the delicious
humor of the story 1t is one which we
predict will long outlsst the month Of
its issue.
