I am not sure but every crusade against strong drink in the house should begin in thc kitchen, and end in the drawing room. At any rate, when you consider the subject culinarily, you reach, by consent, a vital point in your treatment of tho whole questiou. What men cat has a great deal to do with what they drink. More than this, tlicir eating may be such as to directly create and cultivate thc habit of drinking intoxicating liquors. It is plain that if the fumes and taste of alcohol are regularly, or even frequently, recognized in the food of the people, the desire to take it “ straight,” as the topers have it, will be perfectly natural and un avoidable. Plain, simple, nutritious cookery will never create or foster an appetite for strong drink.

It is impossible to the obtain number any absolutely injured, correct account of of but it will reach one hundred or more, Of these at least twenty-live are quite badly hurt, and the remainder received only slight bruises. The bridge evidently gave way when the foil.th car was passing over it. The live rear cars in went through splinters to the road¬ way landing a mass of in the street. The strain of the live failing cars pulled the three cars in advance from tho rail. They remained on top of the em binkment, but were pulled off their trucks and the floor of each was forced nearly to the roof, while seats were jumbled together in great confusion. The end of the second coach was a mass of splinters,caused by a carhead grinding against it when the others went down the embankment The third coach was flattened to the ground us if it had fallen on its trucks from a great height, although it remained on the edge of the embankment. The roof of the fourth car also remained on the embankment, having evidently been torn clear from its fastenings while thc coach went through. The next four cars went down in a heap, the smoker, which was on the rear of the train, failing in the midst of the coaches and being actu ally ground into splinters. Thc inmates of the smoker were all either killed or injured, not one escaping without injury of some kind. Two of the coaches went clear across the roadway,landing bounded against a stone wall that a large field at tlie foot of the hill. As the cars lie in their present location they present a pie ture of such absolute demolition that it seems remarkable that any person in them escaped alive. A curious feature of the disaster is fonnd in the fact that the entire bridge went down with the wreck, not leaving a piece of scrap iron attached to the abut meats, and but for the chasm and awful wreck beneath there is nothing to indi cate that a bridge had once spanned the abyss. the dead Twenty-seven of bodies have been identified.

She was informed that th, police would be sent to the armory, and that no meeting of the character would be held, and she proceeded to• upraid him iu the name of freedom, saying that he was a scoundrel and unfit for the position he occupied, else he would extend the protection asked for; that there would in time be a revolution and a deal, by w-hich the working people would secure th«r that he was of"littlc 0 consequence™and and that the meeting would ho held re¬ of him or his police, protection, ln the height of her excitement the ma f r orde / ed ier t0 b « taken to a cell, and refused / t0 et an / of tbc iocal s vm ‘ P^Eizcrs , her, - see although 1 a number mg that Mrs. Parsons had been tt treated, ,Ut ?° ne ° f tbcm ^ ere allou cd to como - tat - L ^ , K "X ThevheMa ° f ind5 » i:atioa meetin « aboilt the hall f but soon dispersed.

Whether the absence of thc anarchist widower dampened the enthusiasm, or the fact the police were taking extraordinary precautions to quell disorder, had a like effect, the dcmcn stration fell far short of its promoter’s predictions. hundred Including the persons in one and seventy-seven carriages and buggies, there were probably 5,000 in the procession. The prohibition of the red flags was scrupulously observed. A few banners were carried and they were furled and totally hidden in black uniform, draping.
