What the Women Temperance Workers
*re Doing in Convention.
J A yesterday's Montreal despatch says :
The members of the Dominion Women's
Christian Temperance Union met in
etnnn41 aoonventibn in this pity to -day under
the Presidency of Mre. S. W. Foster. Dele-
gatee from all parts of the Dominion were
present, including many prominent tem-
peranoe workers. The morning aeeaion
was devoted to the work of organizing.
Short 'exercises were conducted by Mrs.
Middleton,' Mrs. Tilton, of Ottawa, and
others. The proceedings of the afternoon

Att'he opening o tie sosaion i �oolr, ox
Melbourne, Australia, was introduced. Mrs.
Cook said she did uuii mune quite as a
delegate, but happening to be in the city,
she felt like attending the meetings. In
Australia the organization had been in
existence for three years, and during that
time had made great progress. Hundreds
of Christian ladies had enrolled themselves
in the society, and werp"doinl; uagood work-
in the cause of morale and social order.
They would like prohibition there, for they
wanted it quite as mach as they did in
y were•. afraid that _ti blio_-
were working for local option at present,
and the outlook was hopeful. They received
val table assistance from temperance gen-
tle , .n connected with special organization°
he local churches. She herself had
been led to join the union through, Mrs.
Lucas, who, while she was in Australia,
influenced her to attend the meetings.
THEY ADMIRE MOWAT'S LICENSE ACT.
The annual report of the work done dur-
ing the year, whioh was " presented by Mies
Tilley, of Toronto, stated that conventions
had been --held in:five provinces. -Ontario"
now had 219 branches, with a membership
of 4,503, and the membership of the Bands
of Hope amounted to over 14,000. The
Scott Aot was not now in force in any
county of the province, but great hope
centered in the new license law. In Quebec).
there were 73 unions with a membership
of 2,735, and 44 Bands of Hope with a
membership of 2,414. In the Maritime,
0 Pr.vinoes there were 54 anions with a
tl herahip.- of_.-_ 1,302, and 21 Bltnds_of_
pe with a membership ' of something
over a thousand. Britieh Columbia had
6 nnioae with 242 members, and 13 Bands
of Hope with a membership of 465. The
Manitoba and the Northwest Territories
unions are also doing good work. Alto-
gether there are 513 unions in the Domin-
ion, with a total membership of 9,040, and
192 Bands of Hope with a membership of
- 19,184. =These figures show a decided
increase over last year's returns.
. AFTER CIGARETTES, TOO.
Mrs :Foster, president of the union, in
her annual address, strongly advocated
prohibition for Canada. The drink bill of
the Dominion amounted to $60,000,000 a
year, to be divided among 5,000,000 people.
The temperance sentiment was rapidly
increasing throughout the Dominion, and
a great deal of the increase was due to the
influence of the W. C. T.U. The president
euggested that 'the Government should be
memorialized to prohibit the sale of intox-
icating liquors and tobacco to minors, to
prohibit the manufacture of cigarettes, to
establish.a reformatory for Protestant girls
in the Province of Qaebeo and to give a
limited franchise to women, including a
right to vote on all questions affecting the
eohool and home. " The address was ordered
to be printed.
Delegates were introduced from the Do.
tele ion-&ilianeeoRoyal-liempl utrseand-Sows-=
of Temperanoe and conveyed the feelings
of those bodies. Satisfactory reports were
received from Mrs. Rookwell, Kingston,
Ont., Superintendent of the Departments
of Legislation and 'Petition, and Mrs.
Gordon Grant, Victoria, B. C., on the
franohiee. The legislation report recom-
mended that the total prohibition of the
liquor traffic be aimed at. The franohiee
report recommended that a petition be pre-
sented to the House of Commons, ,asking
that women be placed on an equality with
men in regard to the franchise. The sug-
gestion was referred to the Executive
Committee, and will' be considered ata
later stage of the convention. A brief
eeesion was held to -night, at whioh Miss
Willard, Preeident of the World's W. T. C.
U., was present and reoeived an enthusi-
astic wetoonie.
A Montreal despatch sags : The seoocid
day's session of the annual convention of
the Dominion. W. C. T. U. was largely
attended, and great interest was taken in
the proceedings. At the morning session
Mrs. Fawcett read a paper, on " Unfer-
mented Wine,", which recommended that
nay store and persons in Church authority
be ersonally approaohed upon the matter
and invited to use nothing but unfermented
wine at the Lord's table. The report was
unanimously adopted. Mrs. Turnbull read
the report upon " Social Purity," from
whioh it appeared that in all the provinces
unremitting efforts have been made in the
direotion of the suppression of impure
literature, in the rescue of young women
'who had been betrayed through ignor-
ance by designing soonndrels, in the
dissemination of healthy reading
matter, and in the holding of public
meetings. Mies Frances Willard, President
of the W. C. T. U., who entered at this
stage, received an enthusiastic welcome, In
connection with the social purity report a
motion to tire effect that the convention
dl�eonntenanoe the nee of evening dress
among young women was unanimously
carried. Round dancing was also " con-
demned. An amusing half hour was spent
by Mies Willard conducting parliamentary
drill amongst the ladies. Miss Wright, the
famous, lady evangelist of Ilnll,dconduated
the Bible reading.
At the afternbon soasion interesting
reports were submitted on " Scientific in.
striation," " Parlor meetings," eto.
The public meeting this evening in
Erskine Church was largely attended.
Mrs. T. G. Williams, President of the
Montreal W. C. T. U„ gave an addrese.
of welcome, whioh was replied to by
Mrs. Tilton, of Ottawa. The feature of
l,Ivo:u.,;:awning ' was an., •addrees by Miss
Willard, who spoke in a most
encouraging manner of ---the p:ogross
- eleeen a cause is making. Mies
t lard, who is s well known in connect -
ti with thest peranoo cause, will spend
eve el days in Montreal, and will then
make a tour of the Maritime Provinces,
Miss Willard, ,spoaking of the temperance
question to -day, said "This liquor goes.
tion will never be rightly settled, until pro-
hibition stretches from ooean to ocean. We
have never had prohibition on a natural
plan ; it has only been palliative, not pre-
ventive. This judgment has caused a
confusion in our jurisprudence, local judges
interpreting it in different ways." Miss
Willard was: asked how the world's petition
was progressing, and she readily explained
the whole matter. It was opened three
years ago at her suggestion, and by it they
hope to " enlist the organized opposition of
the womanhood of Chrietendom against the

Two Million Plants.
The chief gardener of the pity—he has
about 400 other gardeners under his in-
strnotions—tells me that tha total number
of plants employed for the toilet of Paris
is about 2,000,000. The nurseries which
produce them are situated in various
parts of the city. In the Bois de Boulogne,
near the racecourse of Longohamps, are
the nursery grounds of trees with caduceus
leaves. At Auteuil, on the borders of the
Boulogne route, in a sandy soil exoellent
for their prorogation, are placed a collec-
tion of resinous trees, plants with per -
slated leaves and heath -mold plants on
the b:enks of the river Marne, at a village
called Petit -Buy, the plane trees that are
planted along the boulevards of Paris are
cultivated, and finally, out at Vincennee,
near the Reuilly barrier, just beyond the
fortifications, a large assignment of land
is reserved for ornamental plants.—Paris

THE BLOOD FLOW.
Heart Disease from a Medical Examiner's

The health of a person depends so much
upon the soundness of the oiroalatory ap.
paratus that it is an invariable r ule of
every company to aooept oto applicant for
ineuranoe who is defective in Willi respect.
and especially if there is any disease of the
heart. Let ns therefore ran over very rapidly
some of these oonditione: •
In health the_ blood circulates freely

heart through the veins. Between the
various compartments of the heart and at
the janoturfn of the : arteries with the
heart, and in meat of the veins are certain
valves whioh prevent a backward current
of the blood. If these valves of the
heart become affected by disease, as by
rheumatism or gout, they may be con-
tooted so as to prevent a free passage of
the blood, or they may not be able to olose

it should be. Under these oironmatanoes
there would be heard sounds not heard in
health. These Bounds are called " mur-
murs." If the blood ie'obstruoted in its
free passage as above the resulting .sound
is oalfed an obstructive murmur ; it the
blood is foroed backward through the
partially closed valves, the resulting sound
is, called a regurgitant murmur. The par -
dealer kind of a murmur takes its name
from the valves .affeoted, as for example
a mitral regurgitant or mitral obetruotion

aide of the heart permits the blood to pass
backward through this valve or it does not
pass through freely for some reason,
generally contraction of the' orifice. of the
valve. The various valves of the heart
may be diseased and be the seat of mur-
murs. Tho aortic valve for instenoe,
situated at the junction of the large blood
vessel with the heart (the aorta), may pre-
eent an ,obstraotion or regurgitant mur-
mur. _ Some- valves are more sabjeot to
these condition° than others. The oonee-
quenoes of valvular obstructions, or a lack
of ability to close properly (regurgitation)
are very damaging not only to the heart
itself, but to the system at large. The
heart being obliged to make great efforts
to overcome these. conditions will became
enlarged like any other muscle, as for in-
tanoe the arm ot• an athlete or of a black-

compensatory enlargement. After a while,
however, this kind of enlargement will
have reached ita•limit. The pressure still
being great to get rid of the blood in the
heart, the masole still enlarges this time
by dilation—the walla become thin and
weak and are less and less able to perform
the work required. If there is a weak.

fatty degeneration it may happen that the
walls will beret, and if this should acoar

stance mitral regurgitation, Made of the
blood flows backwards through the mitral
valve, the auricle, one oompartneent of the
heart becomes enlarged, the lungs become
oongested, over -fall of blood; the general
system feels the overflow, there is general
dropsy ; the-liver-is-congeste�wke-- : v
spleen and kidneys. The brain . is filled
with blood, and the pressure may be great
enough and the blood vessels diseased suffi-
ciently to admit bursting, and apoplexy
will result, and the ' misohief is very .great
and far reaching.
It is easy now to see how there may be
hemorrhage' of the lung in heart disease ;
how the right side of the heart may become
enlarged by obstruction to the circulation
of blood through the lung ; how the kidneys
may become chronically congested and
finally structurally diseaaed ; how by blood
pressure albumen may appear in the urine,
and how a great many .things may ocour

Murmurs may appear in the heart due
to impoverished blood." These are known
as functional murmurs. A purely fano.

an applioant, but he should of course be
postponed until the cease disappears. Mur-
murs due to a diseased condition of the
heart aro known as organic murmurs, and
are indicative of organic changes.—Weekly

TWU SALWAY INVENTIONS.
Carious Machines for IndicatingSpeed and
Defective Rails,
For several years experifhents have been
carried on in France to devipe apparatus
that will indicate the speed at which rail.
way :trains are moving, and also other
apparatue for showing whether the rails. for
nee on the railroads are sound and in con-
dition for service. Lately, a000rding to the
New York Times, these questions have had
much in the way off a favorable solution
given them by two very ingenious inven-
tions which aro at present receiving ooneid-
erable♦ attention S)f,�rJoom n the

ratus for registering the speed of the train
omelets of simply putting in play a
chord .giving a normal music note.
Connected with this is an arm
carrying a stylus which marks its
vibrations upon a piece of paper oover.-
ng a cylinder whioh turns by its own
weight. A11 this mechanism is in a email
box, which can easily be placed among the
ballast between the sleepers, and whioh
begins to regietor the moment a train
reaches it and begins' to • pees over it.

outside of one of the rails. When the
wheel passes a pedal a little cork button,
planed in a hole in the pedal, is foroed
down, and the air which is ,compressed
raises a valve and seta a epripg vibrating.
The wheel ants similarly upon the other
pedals, and the result is that three marks
are made upon the cylinder, whioh indicate
the beginning, the middle and the end of
the operation. The three pedals are two
meters apart, so that there is a epaoe of six
meters oavered by .the__sy_etem. The aped_
of the train is than determined by the
number of vibrations- indicated; whioh,
through 'the known number of vibra-
tions per seoond given by, the maaioal

the more rapidly the train rune

is finite eatiefied that the world and every=
thing in it were made and exiet for oats.
This appears in all that well-bred and
