A recent traveller in Somaliland gives
the following curious incident show
ing the Mohammedan hatred for pigs:
1--WE shot two wart hogs, one a partic-
ularly big boar. Alan wished to keep
the tusks. but of course none Of the
Somalis would touch the unclean ami
NAL. At last a bride OF . rupees in
duced the Midgan woman TO chop the
tusks out with a Ratchet. Even then
she would not touch them and with
the help of two sticks, which she used
like a pair of tongs, put them on a
camel Then there was a long dispute
about the Ratchet No one would touch
it. 1t had been defled. or course this
was pure affectation and playing to the
gallery on the ayah's part. At home
with her native tribe she would have
gorged all the pig she could get. But
il fiattered the Somalis, and we march
ed off, the ayah holding the Ratchet at
arms length as if ii were going to bite

Patrons in any part Of the state can

sections of the state. is enabled to in
form such parties where there may be

them in communication with parties
desiring the things which they have to
sell. In other words this bureau puts
the producers and the consumers in
communication with each other and
they then transact their own business
with one another.
There are numerous ways I'm which
such a central bureau can be Of service

Alcohol In Medicine.

Our own opinion, which we have fire.
quently set forth. is that alcoholic bev-
erages are of value in certain forms of
disease and that their value depends
not so much upon the alcohol. but upon
the vinous others which these bever-
ages contain or should contain No
medical man doubts that intemperance
in alcohol is an appalling factor in the
spread of crime. disease and poverty
and it is undoubtedly the duty of the
medical profession TO endeavor to stay
the curse Of drink by every means in
its power.-London Lancet
