Great Britain has been a reduction of account. A better observance of the general laws of health has, it is said, caused an improve- ment in this regard as well as in respect to other diseases. Something is also due to good sanitary regulations, wel! enforced. But consumption is not yet considered one of the diseases that can be lessened to any great extent by the precautions and rules which apply to the whole The diminution of the death rate from consumption in Great Britain has, it is said, been caused chiefly by the general recognition of infect:ousness of the disease. The belief that censumption or “decline” is “catching” has been long entertained by a comparatively few obser-

though it was generally regarded as sound. ecience has discovered that these unlearned observers had hit upon the true cause of consumption in a great many instances, Physicians have decided that consumption is infectious, and they have commenced to treat copsumptive patients on that as— sumption. They, as far as possible, isolate chem; and they find the treatment allowed by the best effects, both as regards the patients themselves and the families towhich they belong. Hospi- tals have been built for the accommoda- tion and treatment of consumptives, a saving of life bas been effected and the lisease has been prevented from spreading, So sure are some enthusiastic medical men that phe principal cause of the prevalence consumption is contact with persons euffering from the disease, that they believe shat if the proper means were used con- eumption could be “stamped out” of a community as surely, if not as rapidly, as emal! pox.

Itis also believed that consumption, particularly in its early stages, can be sured. * The marvellous success,” says the Montreal Star, “of Dr. Trudeau’s institation at Saronac Lake in the Adiron- dacks has put beyond a doubt the curative power of pure dry air in the vast majority of cases. Air appears to be meat for the man and poison for the germ. thus waging a double warfare against the disease by strengthening the patient and killing the enemy.”

In view of all tnat has lately been dis- covered in respect {o consumption, there is room for the hope that it may, by the exercise of care with respect to the puta of patients and to ventilation, be eyadually stamped out and cease to be a terror to individuals and to families.

WAR INEVITABLE.

War with the Transvaal is regarded as inevitable. But it will, if possible be postponed until after the jubilee celebra- ons. It is remarked that there has lately been a marked stiffening of the attitude of Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, towards President Kruger, and it is equally certain that the preparations of regimeats, transports and material, apparently made in view ofa possible Turko-Greek blaze, are really designed for South Africa. If nothing happens sixty thousand men will, ere long, itis reported, be sent to South Africa. The regiments necessary have already heen secretly warned to prepare for active service. President Kruger is apparently relying upon German, and possibly also apon French, sympathy, and is forcing ths

Montreal Witness: Whether the oll practice of men battering each otber out of shape with their fists is te be attributed to the tiger in map, or whether that would be a slander upon the tiger, we do not know, bat the process has eviuently Just the respectability it once had, and now no civilized vaticn will barbor it—tbat is tie thing itself—thongh they still gloat over accounts of it. We are inclined to think that man gwill offer vo Joss, but mnch, more a man when the tiger is dead aod he ceases to delight in needless pain.

Montreal Gazette: Californians think they have solved the prison labor problem, and at the same time putthemselves on the way to secure a much sought after boon— good roads for. the State. The convicts in the penitentiary are employed in quarrying and crushing stone, which 1s sold for 25 cents a ton loaded on the care, and the railroads haul it at a special rate, so that roads can be built at the rate of 50 to 55 cents a cubic yard at almost any place in the State. Most of the provinces ot Canada have both prison Jabor to spare and bad roads to improve. Our legis]a‘ors might do a useful work in following the California example and combine the two facts in a way to promote the public good.
