IS A CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS.
It is'generally admitted among medi-
cal men that drunkenness ie a disease.
Borne modify this by saying that it is a
sign of weak will power. Now, weak-
ness Is dangerously near disease. As
the taste for liquor is a disease, it is
only necessary to find the proper cure
to be rid of the trouble.
A well known Methodist divine, inter-
ested in the cause of temperance, made
It his 'business to find out if any cure
for drinking has been discovered. This
is an extract from one of his sermons
on temperance.
"I find that the use of Samaria Rem-
edy for the curs of drunkenness fa
steadily increasing. Wives who wish to
win back their husbands, and mothers
who long to redeem their sons, are giv-
ing Samaria Remedy to the wayward
ones in tea and coffee. Those who have
relatives or friends who feel that they
need help to shake off the hold of the
demon rum, buy Samaria Remedy. In
the .alcoholic wards of the leading hos-
pitals Samaria Remedy is ordered for
those who express an earnest desire to
stop drinking. It delights me to say
that Samaria Remedy is doing a grand,
good work, and has my hearty blessings
for saving so many from lifelong dissi-
pation and degradation."

legiance to Magnetic Pole.
Nothing in the navigational equip-

quipment of a ship has been the subject of
more anxious scientific research or re-
ceives more jealous care than the marin-
er's compass.
The popular notion of the compass
needle always pointing north and south
ie—well, more inaccurate than even pop-
ular notions usually are Even under
the most favorable cnuditiona there are
only certain places upon the surface of
the earth where the compass needle
does point north and south, and 1t is
quite safe to say that such conditions
are never found on board of any ship.
But we must go further and say that
no more unfavorable position could be
found for a compass than on board of
a modern steamship, which is a compli-
cated WAS of steel, all tending to draw
the coutpasa needle from its allegiance
to the magnetic pole of the earth, war-
ring influences which must needs be
ccimteracted by all sorts of devices
which hedge round the instrument by an
invisible wall of conflicting currents of
magnetism,
And as if this were not enough there
are now huge dynamos to be reckoned
with, producing electric currents( for all

SNOWED UP ON THE STEPPE,
Experiences of Winter Travellers "n
Siberian Hallway.
When winter sets in adventuree by
rail are frequent und the process of
"roughing it" is trying. Often trains
ore snowed up at little squalid sta-
tions on the steppe, 1(11011 the passengers
e;w not nothing but black bread and
ten 101• hours? Aye, and for days,
1 t depends on the authorities how long
the !ltstu'red travellers shall abide.
This year numerous trains were
caught in the snow, almost buried there,.
and generally on the open steppes fifty
or sixty miles from n lemon and a hun-
dred reties from a beefsteak. The pas-
sengers besought the station master and
others to have them dug out and to
clear the line. They even telegraphed
to the Minister of Ways and Communi-
cations, and received assurances that
the order would be given. 1t was given
—and disregarded,
Story telling and card playing in the
flickering light of a candle were the
most serious occupations of the prneon-
ers on the steppe, In one case that
came under my knowledge "he" end
"she" met for the first tine under these
uncommon conditions, fell in love over
a sausage, a stale roll and half a bottle
of wine, which he happened to have, and
they married shortly afterward.
Here is a copy of one of the tele-
grams from snowed up passengers that
were sent this season: "This in the sec-
ond day that we are kept by snow drifts
here in the lonely station, Pookhovo. In
spite of the energetic telegram of the
Minister of Ways and Communications
the manager of the line has taken no
efficacious measures. We are doomed
to linger on here for an indefinite per-
iod." (Signed by the passengers of the
international wagon of the Rostoff fast
train.) And they lingered on for two
days.—London Telegraph.

in return, which he shnply loathed, but

reached the depth, so it is stated,
without using Mannesmann weldless

shows the dependence of miffing ipoe
the allied arts. The' writer goes on:.
"Bore holes such as these are now
always made by• means 0' the well
known diamond drill, which brings up
a core of the rocks passed through,
and thus affords positive inionmat,on
respecting them. Unfortunately, the
only kind of diamonds suitable far
this purpose, the dark opaque stones,
showing no distinct cleavage, known
in the trade as 'carbons,' are scarce
and proportionately dear, so that
diamond drilling is now 0 eoetly oper-
ation; 1 hav9, however, good grounds
for saying that we aro within pleas-
urable distance of seeing such 'car-
bons; or at any rate 'boot,' produced
artificially. For rocks of moderate
hardness these diamonds have of late
years been replaced to some extent
by shot nude of specially hard chill-
ed iron, but these are of little use in
the harder rocks. One of our great-
est needs at the present moment is
a metal that shall be strong, tough,
and considerably harder than quartz;
the production of such a material
would conduce more to the technical
advancement of several branches 'f

covery that could be named."
