yonng men; one, who had he lived, would have been an honor to this community and a credit to the profession which he was preparing to enter.We refer to the death of Lyman McClintock.Lyman was a noble hearted young man, generous to a fault, courteous and kind to everyone, ever thoughtful for the comfort of others and never thinking of self, a friend to the poor, particularly the children, and what better can be said of à man than he was the child- rens\u2019 friend?This he surely was as.many in our village can testify.He seemed to always have thom in mind.| When absent his home-coming was looked forward to by them as a bright spot in their lives and he never disappointed them, He always met them: with a smile and a good word and something more substantial for the comfort and happiness of all.Truly they and many others have lost a friend.He has been a great sufferer \u2018for a long time, having met with an accident while leaving the parliament building at Quebec some two yeurs ago which resulted in what is known as Potts disease, à disease of the spine, finally terminating in an abcess.He had been under the care of the most skilled physicians in Quebec, Montreal and Boston, finally returning from the later city in March last.He made a brave fight, never complaining or losing courage, but always expressed a willingness to go if it wan the Master\u2019s will, putting implicit faith in Him.Loving hands cured for him through his long and distressing illness and the daily visits of his physician were to him in this unequal struggle.But naught could stay the ravages of this dread disease, and he passed away as peacefuly as an infant falling asleep in its mother\u2019s arms.Funeral services were held in All Saints Church on Saturday last at 2 p.m., and were very largely attended.The Rector, Rev.Mr.Brooks, officiating, assisted by Rev.Mr.Dutton of Barnston, a friend and former schoolmate of deceased, and all that was mortal of Lyman McClintock was laid to rest in the village cemetery.To the sorrowing parents in their deso- | lute and childless home we extend for ourselves and in behalf of the entire community our sincere and heartfelt sympathy.® Andrew

29th, of last month has done something to render warfare more humane and less barbarous than it has been.It has also provided in the permanent arbitration tribunal a great instrument for securing peace among nations.Much has been left undone.Militarism has been allowed to triumph.Armaments have not been reduced on on land or sea.War taxation in time of peace remains the theory and practice of Europe.Private property, either under a neutral or a hostile flag has not heen exempted from seizure in war-time, and many other reforms in the relations of nations have been put aside.The Peace Congress has not completed the work of civilization, and the millennium of peace and goodwill on earth is still a long way ahead, but they are nearer than they were.The Parliament of Men at The Hague has done much to promote the welfare of the world.While the arbitration scheme recommended and adopted by the Peace Congress is not perfect, it is designed to meet almost every question that is likely to arise between nations, and supplied a practical method of averting war by peaceful and honorable means.It also provides special resources of mediation when nations are on the verge of hostilities.No government will be compelled to abide by the decisions of the arbitration tribunal, but the moral force of civilization are behind it.Europe remains a circle of barracks and garrisons.The ogre of militarism in full armor and with spiked helmet, is still a commanding figure in the Europe of to-day; yet it is true, that in consequence of the work of the Peace Congress, the nations suand in less dread of the spectre of war, and have a larger faith in the resources of peace.It cannot be the same suspicious jealous and resentful world when a great council Tepresenting all Christendom has sanctioned a reasonable and practical method of averting war.A Narrow Escape.Thankful words written by Mrs.Ada E.Hart, of Groton, 8.D.\u201cWas taken with a bad cold which settled on

TO feet of drill.Early varieties may be used in 30 to 60 days.The roots will be mature in ahout 150 days.Rich tinely pulverized soil is needed for turnips.A sandy ov gravelly loam is preferred, Sow in drills one foot apart and half an inch deep, or sow brondenst aud rake in lightly, If there should be po rain, a thorough sprinkling will insure germination.The plants should stand at least three inches apart, While the quantity of oil to be used in treating roads cannot yet be considered us exactly ascertained, Rural New Yorker states that good results have been obtained by thoroughly sprinkling common earth roads at the rate of a \u201c barrel of oil for a stretch 100 feet long and 12 feet wide.American Agriculturist reports a Hb- eral hay crop in sight, harvested in somewhat

to Drink.No more absurd project has ever been wooted than the proposal of the \u2018Chamber of Commerce of Lagos to institute legal proceedings against the Anglican bishop of equatorial Africa for asserting in à letter which he recently published in the London Times that 75 per cent of the deaths of Europeans on the const of Africa are due to drink\u2014not pocessarile runken- ness, but drink, it being necessary to bear in wind the distinetion between the two words, In fact, the announcement is calculated to excite the undisguised merriment of any one Who, like myself, has both visited and lived in the countries in question, says Ex- Attache in Chicago Tribune The statement of the bishop Is per- feetly true.not only as regards the white races in equatoriïl Africa, but could Le applied with equal truth to the white races throughout the length and Lreadth of Asin, especially as regards the tropical portion thereof, In view of the acquisition of the Philippines by the United States and The maintenance there of a consclerable force of troops to protect the life and property of the Amerienn ¢itizens who are certain to establish themselves in the archipelago this question of drink in the troples is a matter of timely Ine terest an lof considerable Enportance.With the objeet of relieving the fol-: lowing statements of any imputation of prejudice 1 would ask permission to state at the outset that 1 have no connection of any kind with any tem- peace society either here or in Fu- rope and that if D venture to raise my voice against (he use of stimulants In the tropics, aml in fnet, throughout the orient, it is not as a matter of prin ciple, but of common sense acd on the grounds of health, Aside from the eraving for liquor Ly whieh so puny men ave enrsed, there are three other incentives that drive white men to drink fn equatorial Africa and throughout the orient.Of these causes one is undoubtedly the extreme physical lassitude resulting from the climatic conditions, which seems lo invite the use of stimulants in order to revive mental and physical energy.Then there fs the thirst which is the natural consequence of the beat, cous pled with the difficulty of obtaining drinking water absolutely free from germs and palatable, Expericnee goes to show that the last of these three incentives to the use of stimulants is the most powerful of all.It Is ennui more than anything else that leads the white resi dents of tropical countries to destroy thetr health both of mind and of body by the excessive use of stimulants.In lodin this ennui is ln a measure dispelled by devotion to sports of one kind and another, and there Is no doubt that M the English on the whole remain the people that are the least Injuriously affected by the tropical climate and who manage to retain health of mind and body to a greater extent than say other white races in the orient it Is because so much of their spare time Is spent in polo, cricket, tenuis, pig sticking and sports of one kind and another which are carried on no matter how hot the weather.It Is admitted on all sides that al cohol is the curse of Afric and that it fs decimating the native races well as the European colonists.In fact, at the present moment there is an International congress in session af Brussels, organized by the grent powers of the old world, with the object of checking the Importation of alcohol tuto what is so justly described as \u2018in soaked Africa.\u201d The Mohamme- dau missionaries, as stated, forbid the use of alcohol ou the part of the rouverts to thelr creed, and it is due to this that drunkenness Is nonexistent in the Mohammedan part of the dark continent, whereas it is the principal blight of that portion of the dark continent which has been brought within the scope of Christian civilization.Nearly all the European houses of commerce and trading stations along the coasts of Africa derive à considera- \u2018ble portion of their profits from the dmportation of gin for the use of the natives.The white missionaries are largely dependent upon these traders Lot merely for society and for those comforts and conveniences that are destined to alleviate the difficulties of existence In the dark continent, but are even compelled te rely upon them for the necessaries, and missionaries who attempted to preach total nbsti- nence to the natlves would be subject- vd to such treatment by the traders that life would become intolerable, They are, therefore, handicapped, Still, the fact remains that wheres Christian civilization and missionary efforts tolerate the use and abuse of alcohol on the part of the dusky races, nt merely temperance, but total ab- tinence 18 preached by the Mohammedan missionaries.And whereas alcohol Is fatal to white and colored traces allke In the tropics, destroying both inind And body, total abstinence, in those climates at any rate, is not only conducive to health, but Indis- peusable thereto, The question will
