There has been , re work end'cmore drinking durâ€" ng the last twelvemonth. ‘ Public houses (on licenses) have (decreased by 10 per cent. since 4905. At the end of 1912 they num- bored 88,608, but the convictionsl 2, being 10,462 more than in 1911. "An increase in convictions,” totes the report, "may be due al- ost directly to the extinction of censes~e.g., the drunkard may driven from his old haunts in a k street, where he used to soak useen, out into the open, where he arrested.” .London, with a. total of 50,382 ' nvictions, shows a. far higher pro- Ertion of convictions for drunken- égr drunkenness in 1912 rerwe 18,- » ess (calculated per 10,000 of the timated population) than either he county boroughs, or the non- urty boroughs. ,During February, March and pril, 1912 (the months of the min- ‘rs’ strike), there was a. persistent ecline to far below the corres- nding record of 1911. ~ “There was a. still more rapid. and ersistent rise, with the return of ad work and wages, till July. e 1912 figures for Greater Lon- on, unlike those for 1911, show a ‘ cline in June and July (the onths of the transport workers’ rike). In August, when that was ver, the figures rose again.” 4;...â€" EHE FALL WEATHER ‘ ‘ HARD UN LITTLE ONES ’ Cnnadiun fall weather is extreme- hard on little ones.

Jrrgm: LET' USE OF MIDDLE NAMES. Distinction: Permitted Only to Roy- alty 400 Years Ago. People have not always been al- lowed the pleasure of having as many names as they wished; in- deed, 400 years ago not even a mid- .dle name was allowed in England. It was illegal. The old English law was definite and admitted of no in- fraction of its ruling. The only ex- ception in this ironclad regulation was in the case of persons of royal ranlk. If they really wished it, they could boost of a middle name, but woe to the person of ordinary rank who was sufficiently unwise or ob- stinate to insist on having more than two appellations. For the first- offence he would very likely be tied to a whipping post and severely lashed. For a second offence he would endure some more lasting punishment-â€" perhaps the removal of his. thumbs or ears. And if he still persisted in his stubbornness he would be hanged. There is a. case on record of a poor mamâ€"in all probability half} dementedâ€"who insisted on signingI four names every time he wrote his signature to any paper. Of course, he passed through all the legal. stages of punishment until he was finally hanged. H PROTECTING ST. PAUL’S. High Pressure Water System In- stalled at Top of Dome. Now that the cross above St. Paul’s has been regilded it is not likely to be allowed again to gather the accumulations of London’s smoky atmosphere, as it did during the previous half a. century. Hy- drants have been placed recently in the lantern below the ball and cross, and by means of a. high pres- sure supply thcy will be utilized periodically to clean the golden cross. ' The hydrants have been intro- duced as a. result of an experiment last year, when it was found that two of London’s most powerful mo- tor fire engines, coupled together, were unable to throw water from the ground level to the top of the dome with sufficient force to be of any use in case of fire. Dry mains have now been laid to a. consider- abig height, with outlets at differ- ent points, and from these the fire- men work should the necessity â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-l'â€"â€"â€"â€". “Is she nervous “l” “Nervous!

Canal "locks will be obsolete in twenty years. and u. water level canal will be necessary. Under the circumstances perhaps Mr. Bryan was well advised when he endeavored to or- suado Congress to pass his Nicaragua ill by which the United States was to have the solo right to build :1 canal through Nicaragua wherever it ohoso, in return for three million dollars.» Some other concessions were to be made,” but this was one of the most important. As tho United States has built the Panama. Canal it is obvious that any other cunnl throu h from the Atlantic to the Pacific must Iho controlled by her or else the enormous expenditure on Puunmn might be doom- ed wasted. But in the next twenty yours trade will huvo increased to such on o):- tent. according to the some authority, that the Panama Canal with its looks will be unable to handle it. In that cnso another canal through Nicaragua. might become a. necessity. Considering the no mendouu )oesibllitice of the western coasts of orth and South America, the millions of people they are able to sup- port. and the comparatively few which they maintain at present, it seems quite likely that .in due course two canals .will not be one too many. To lcok uhcad twenty yours in these modern do a takes some imagination and daring. 0st of us are satisfied with trying to make cer- tain of looking ahead a. day or two. There is no knowing what may happen twenty yam after the canal is opened. If New York is to become the China. of the United States. and all the west coast is to take the place of Europe. one wonders what motion will be in control of the canal. Vacuum-cleaning the Blood. Among the many remarkable addresses and. demonstrations iven at the recent International Medics Congress in Lon- don. there was nothing more promising of future results of grant value to human kind than Professor Able's account of his nrtiflcisl kidney. Ho opens one of 'the large blood vessels of an annesthotrzed animal. inserts a glass tube, and conveys the blood to a series of small tubes mode of celloidin. From these the blood passes through another glass tube back into. the animal and re-cntcrs tho lutter’s circu- int-inn. The celloidin tubes are porous to all difi‘usibio substances in the blood. and being placed in a saline solution not us a sort of filter. As the blood passes through this little set of artificial capil- laries, it is, so to speak, washed or filter- ed. and a. portion of the diflucible sub- stances remaln in the saline solution in which the ceiloidin tubes lie. One is. perhu-p. hardly justified in concluding from these experiments tth we can switch a sick man's blood out of his body throu h a celloidin filter. and then hand it him to him freed of all impurities. but this is the possibility suggested by Pro- fessor Abel's address. The immense value of such a. method in many diseases is so obvious as to require no insistence. Supposedly Harmless Medicines. The numerous fatalities among chil- dren, and even grown-ups, caused by per- taking in undue quantities of palatable medical preparations is alarming. The necessity of placing supposedly harmless medicines where they Will not be acces- sible to children has been frequently cm- phnsized. The custom of throwmg sam- ples of drugs into yards and doorways is one that should be abolished. Legislu‘ tion is proposed which provides that all liquid medicines containing poisonous drugs be put up in bottles of different shape from, the ordinary viola whereby they can be readily recognized by the sense of touch. Another Antarctic Expedition. J Foster Stuckhouso the leader of a party of Englishmen who will at an early date 88.11 for the Antarctic. says his ur- pose is to determine the extent of Edward Land and make temperature and magnetic observations, and adds. "I also want to explore land which no English- man has trod.” The latter is his real reason for setting out on this perilous journey. Scientific research is but an in- cident of the undertaking. The lure of .the unknown has gripped him, as it grip- ped Columbus. as it gripped Livingstone and Peary and Scott and Amundsen and countless others who have set out to go where man never was before, and no it will grip others until there is no spot on the globe untrod by man.

Advertising not only pays. but its value as news is coming to be more and more appreciated. There is not an enterprising corporation or shrewd business firm that is not now informing the public through the medium of .ndvertisoments what kind of new business each is engaged in and what are prospectsfor the future. The old time methods of silence on tho part of public utility corporations have been abandoned. No one is advertising to a. greater extent than the heads of big transportation companies and those cor- porate bodies engaged in tho disseminm tion of i telllgencc b. telegraph. tele- phone an wireless. use are sensible moves. The public is intelligent enough to ap- prcoiu’te n11 publicity based on the truth. 'The truthful advertiser succeeds oil the time. and he is deserving of all the m- crcmed patronage he is sure to receive. When there is a. lull in business from any cause shrewd men of ufinirs get busy and advertise. â€"â€"-â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€"'nâ€"â€"â€"â€"-< SfiFFERM YEARS With Kidney Trouble.
