Kabrich, City Clerk “Killed by her corset,*’ was the ver- diet in the case of a lady who recently dropped in Chicago. She laced so tight that a blood vessel bursted. The female who draws herself all out of shape by this modern system of suicide ma¬ chinery, imagining that a wasp-like waist is very taking, has less sense, to our way of thinking, than an unbroken mule. We don’t denounce corsets, but only the misuse of them. For Rent— A 14x24 foot room suitable for a saddler shop, millinery business on any kinp of office.

U. contest in Itchica, N. Y., a city pastor said to one of the contestants: I have always been a temperance man, but after hearing your recitation I resolve to vote the prohibition ticket. * . Fully ninety per cent of families keep alcotiol in some form, either whisky or brandy, and resort to it as a domestic remedy for all slight or se. vere, real or imaginary ailments. Also that a great amount of alcohol is used in families in the shape of patent medicine, medicated wines, malt ex¬ tracts, tonics, tinctures, etc. The question naturally arises: How far the family physician is responsi¬ ble in his relations to the family as medical adyiser for the almost uni¬ versal use of alcohol in some form as a domestic remedy, and what is his duty in pointing out the fact that al¬ cohol is not a cure-all, as it is sup¬ posed to be, but that it often is posi¬ tively and seriously detrimental in diseased conditions? If these things are true, is it not high time our white ribboners everywhere were planting their faith firmly in the principles of our National temperance hospital, which are complete annihilation to all alcoholic remedies for the sick? The time has come when this priiicHplo is not simply an unproved theory, but a demonstrated fact, well worth the careful consideration of every house¬ hold in the world. From the Saturday Globe. A well known physician says that when fagged out by professional work, he recruits his strength by eating raisins, and not by drinking wine or spirits. And I can testify to the same, having tried it. I find raisins are very strengthening.

The Alki’s pas¬ sengers say there will be no starvation at Dawson this winter or next spring. Ueing informed of the action being taken by the United States govern¬ ment to send a relief expedition to that place, they said it was unneces¬ sary and uncalled for. Two thousand men have gone from Dawson to Fort Yukon, where they have an unlimited supply of provisions. Those remain¬ ing at Dawson have been eating regu¬ lar meals and have enough in sight to last well along into the spring. No sickness is reported in Dawson and everybody there is in good circum¬ stances and are not worrying as much over the food situation as their friends outside believe. The Alki’s passen¬ gers brought out, it is estimated, about $150,000 in dust and nuggets. I have quite a lot of 2x8, 2x6 and 2 x4, 16 and 18 foot lumber, I will sell for $4 per thousand, spot cash.
