CONSUMPTION PREVENTABLL.

We sincerely hope thatthe discussion

1 of this subject, begun by Dr. MacLeod,

will be followed by decisive action on the part of public authorities and private in- dividuals. Consumption cannot be cured; it can be prevented. This fact understood, the means of prevention ought to be de- manded and utilized at once. Next to drunkeness, consumption is the most des- tructive ageat ef death,—the most suc- ceseful enemy of bumen life. Ino view of the worth of human life, in view of the value which each person sets upon his own life, remembering how loath ewch oneisto give life up, instinct ard reason Ought to induce us to combine im an effort—cortinnous if need be—to prevent consumption,

Experience, in the,case of Dr. McLeod, has proved that we must be very careful how we touch the cow. “ Flossie” bas, indeed, established a claim upon our af- fection. Our mothers could never have nourished us into manhood and womapn- her aid. She is ta be cherished by all, and particularly by our farmers, whose pockets are the fuller for her generous response to their attentive care. Still we are bound to eonsider the fact that a healthy cowie better, even for the farmer, than a diseased cow. The more progressive of our farmers kiil their scrubby stock without compunction, aad are very careful about the breeding of a bull as well asa cow, because they desire to improve the quality of their herds: In thisthey are right;and if so,why should they not be equally careful that the cews shall be perfectly free from the taint of tubercolosis? One cow with this taint may impart the coatagion to every other cow ia the herd. If the disease should happen to strike her udder it will almost certainly be conveyed into the sys- tem of any person susceptible of consump- tien who may drink her milk; ang if that person’s life may be saved by the applica- tion of the tuberculin test, ought not the test to be applied and the diseased cow substituted by a healthy cow? We are free to admit that a great deal of nonsense ie talked about the prevalence of the disease, All the same, it will pay the farmer to be sure that bis herd is healthy. There will be better resultsinthe milk and flesh forthe fodder that the herd con. sumes, more money in the farmer's pocket,—and no danger in the pail to human life, The cost of the test is no- thing. Dr. Pethick will apply the test to any farmer’s herd “free, gratis.” Nor need there be any hesitation whatever about applying the test on the ground of injury te the cattle. Tuberculin, properly made, is perfectly harmless. The risk the loss of diseased aod for the sake cf the farmer’s profit, a3 well as for the sake of human beiags

only

is cattle ;

whose livesmay be cut off, if there be tuberculosis among the cowe, that risk may well be taken—that risk ought to be taken—by the owners of stock. Those who may have to purchase bulls, cows, or calves should require a certificate of free~ dom from the disease before paying for them, justas they require to be assure | that the horse which they purchase is not likely to be troubled by ringbone or spavin.

But the cow apart, there can question about the desirability of sanita- tion im respect to all dwellings in which there are consumptives. Good ventilation, cleanliness, and the most scrupulous care

be no

concerning the destruction of the s puta of those who are diseased, the stoppage as much as possible of the indecent and dis~ gusting habit of spitting about bedrooms, dining rooms, halls, churches, etc., are es- sential to the prevention of consumption; and the community at large, as weil as in- dividuals in particular, ought to see to it that such measures of preventing coa- sumption are adopted.

Dr. McLeod brought this matter up with a view to action; and we hope that action will be taken.

MR COSTIGAN’S CANDIDATES.

Ir appears that while itie true that Hon. Mr. Costigan diseevted from the Moncton Convention and supported the Emmerson Government, it is not true that his candidates were successful in the elec~ tion. The St, John Sun explains that in the two counties which form his consti- tueocy he supported four candidates who comprised the two government tickets. In the casejof one of these candidates there was, ground for criticism. In Victoria, Mr. Carter and Mr, Tweedale had been nom. inated at an opposition convention, and Mr, Tweedale had entered upon « campaign against the government, He was induced to abandon his coiieague and his cause and go over to the other side, joining a new ticket with Mr. Lawson. The first goveroment ticket was Mr. Porter and Mr. Beveridge, who had supported the government in the late house. Mr. Por~ ter, who is aw old opponent of Mr. Costi- gan, has now been elected at the head of the poll. Mr. “fweedale is at the foot, while Mr. Lawson ie also elected. It is probable that if Mr. ‘weedale had stood by Mr. Carter and the cause which he first took up both might have been re- turned. In Madawaska, Mr. Costigan was equally unsuccessful, as he publicly announced his support of the two govern- ment candidater, both of whom are de- feated, while the poll is headed by Mr. Laforeet and another old opponent of Mr. Costigan. In view of these results, the Sun respectfully welcomes Mr. Costigan to a place beside iteelf in the procession of

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

ied

—-An idea of the state of public opinion in Franee may be formed from the fact thatit is generally stated in the papers that Lord Rosebery and Mr. Rnodes have “put up” £20,000,000 between them in order to foment further Dreyfus discord. Their object, it is stated, is to ruin France, seize all her Colonies, form 4 gigaat ic compauy, and sell the entire property tothe British Government— atan enor- mous premium.

—One of the most remarkalle dis~ coveries of recent years of study and ex- plorations on Babylon, is tha: of C. A. Hornstein, who, in his recent trip through Palestine, unearthed what he believes is Pharaoh’s palace. His discovery was made amorg the cliff<dwellers of Pales- tine, on the site of thecity of Petra, or, to give it the Biblical name, Sela. The city was fouoded by the first-born son of Ishmael, the sen of Abraham, and is, therefore, one of the oldest cities of Pales~- tine. The Nabatheans, or the peopie of Edom, are referred to repeatedly in the Bible, among other paseages being the invocation addressed to them by Isaiah, which says: “Let the inhabitants of the rock sing flet them shout from the top of the mouptain.” Dr. Hornstein determined to probe, if possible, the mystery eurrounding these ancient cave dweliings and Pharaoh’s palaces. He obtained the good will of the petty Sulteanof Kerak, an ancient city near the Dead Sea, some 50 milesto tbe north. A military escort was granted, and in this way he succeeded in exploring Petra and taking photographs.

—-The University Correspondent bas

jast publisbed its annual list of absurd

mistakes made by children in writing au- swers to examination questions. In geo- graphy the following answers occur: “The North Pole is aatick put in the ground by the explorer waocan go furthest North.” “A delta is a burning moun- tain.” “If you stand on the sea shore om a clear day, you can watch a vessel sailing round the world. This is a proof thatthe world is round.” “ The snnder bunds are the hot winds which tlow across the desert of Sahara.” ~~‘ Canons are pieces of rope the Americans catch wild horses with.’ A moraine is a disease which afflicts cattle in hot countries.” The following answers, classified under mathematics and ecience, are amuring: “A trapezium isthe thing ina gymna- sium,” “Elements are those metale which do not combine with other things. such as earth, aluminium, water, fire, etc.” “Latent heat is little particles of steam joined to- gether so as you can’t see them.” “The solar spectrum isa group of stare, so-called in consequence of its being nearer the sun than any ether group.” ‘“‘The stomach is the most diluted part of the elementary canal.” “Wind is that which the dust blews along the street.”

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.

St John Sun: The Laurier government made a reeiprocity treaty impossible by the Fielding tariff. That tariff gave the United States the advantages which a treaty would giveJjand asked for for no re- turn. The United States is not the nation to give free potatoes and bariey in return for free corn, when Canada bas already given freecorn for nothing. The United States will not give free lumber for the free export of logs when the free export is given witbout price. Nor will Canada get a free market for fish or forthe produce of the mine and quarry, in exchange for reduced duties on iron and steel, and tor tree barb- ed wire and binder twine, when all theee concessions have already been thrust on the United States without a suggestion of com pensation.

Moncton Times: The receot election campaign in this province shows to what lengths Mr. Blair and hie fellow laborers in the cause of gritiem are prepared to go in their determination to take the I. C. R., out of politics.

Not cortent with intimidating the em~ ployes themeelves and putting spies at each polling booth to mark the ballots as they are deposited,they threatened relatives of the employeesata distance and did everything in their power to prevent a free express_on of opinion.

The recent storm was also used as an agency for getting votes forthe guvern~ ment ticket. All the men employed as shovelers were required to vote straight and scores of men were taken on til! after the electione who were not really reqnired. Some thirty men were employed clearing the snow out at the siding at Calhoun’s in the parish of Dorchester, though as a matter of fact there is no frog in the sid- sng, which is mot used atail during the winter season and will not be until next May.
