SNAKE-BITE.
"Cupping" for snake-bite is the latest re- medy, Lieutenant W, F. Braque, I M.S., writes to the Allahabad Pioneer :-A small portion of cotton wool is soaked in spirit placed in the glass and lighted. This creates vacuum when applied to the skin, and if there is a wound in the skin the glass quickly fills with blood sucked from the wound. The suction is very powerful indeed, as may be seen by the fact that the flesh is all raised up into the glass, I propose to apply this to snake-hite on paris of the body where ligature is impossible. I should carry a small metal ginar, the size of a amali wine glass, and in this a very small bottle of methylated spirits packed into the glass with collon wool, in which a few inatches are placed. This gives all the necessaries in 'a very small compars, and the apparatus could be applied in a few seconds,

is necessary to burn up alcohol. Heavy drink-riene, for Haihow, ing is really a sign of virility. That is ope of the reasons and evidences of the superiority of Teutonic nations whn drink, over the Latins who do not. And one of these dogmatists
illustrated his arguo rat by a tale of a football, for Canton. team whose downfall he had prophesied from the single fact that the team all drank tes and sodawater.
Was it then an evidence of incipient national decay when the manager of a big catering com- pany declared positively that people drink less wine than they did? "Omne in praecipitum ist "all the British Empire is alleged to bang on the erige of a precipice. There are so many Cassandras nowadays with stories of our ap proaching dissolution that it is hard if we must take that also for a sign of decadence which we were ready to boast as a gleam of widening enlightenment.
For although we do not often get convincing figures such as those which were given at a recent meeting of Messrs. Spiers and Pond's shareholders, most people will probably agree. that, according to their daily observation, we do drink far less wine than formerly. Cer- tainly this is one of the changes in London which catch the eye of the Wanderer returning after absence abroad. Five years ago he war looked at sourly if he ordered so wine with his lunch in restaurants where now, he may sip his "eau naturelle undisturbest, or, as the atmost debauch, may satisfy the waiter with a lemon

SIGNIFICANT BYLLABLES.
A new word has stipped into the language. "Minerals always kept on ice here" is a notice which constantly appears in public eating- rooms. Our fathers spoke with contempt of mineral waters-"gingerbeer, raspberry syrup and such like Sunday-school slops, which all produce dyspepsia and ruin body and soul alike, and are the cause of half the crime and drun- kenness in England." But the contraction into minerals is a significant innovation of the last dve or six years.
Gone is the bumper glass-staggering hand. maid to inebriety-from which our randfathers swilled port "and no her diapa," because having no foot the glass could wat be set down until it was empty. And now we are getting almon as far from the targantian days when each period of the ten-course dinner was attended As Mrs. Humphry 'points by its special wine. out in "Etique for Every day""the social world long ago abandoned this system in favour of having one wine throughout the meal" Only the grand old City Fathers maintain traditions, and Mrs. Humphry notes that af City banquets "as many as ten different wines have been served in their due sequence."
What may be the reason for this change she does not suggest. The babit is, of course, of long standing in France, where, indeed, it is the custom, to keep chamagne altogether for dessert. But then the French are supposed to put themselves out of court by preferring sweet champagne to dry; and whatever else we may borrow from the "peor ignorant foreig der," we know that he canpot tell us anything about wines, even though it be from him that we must buy them.
THE SENSE OF HUMOUR. Perhaps we set up to be more conversational than our fathers, who are upposed to have made England great by "their habit of talking poli tics after dinner"-a gand port wine-y subject, especially in the days when it real gentlemica weza Tories. One might also quote the instance of the famous dinner party in "David Copper field," where the whole table discussed "blood" and "saw blood in a nose." as they might very But Daturally after five or six d.ff. real wines. now, if we do not actually pretend to be talkers, In the artistic sense of the word, everybody 1 least has "a sense of humour"--and A mixture of wines is a sad clog on its existence.
From many points of view the increasing consumption of non-alcoholic beverages is pos sibly no more than a passing chaze. The fash ion has been set by Society, as Ms. Humphry notes, and the rest of the world inust follow suit-glad enough to do so, one may be sure, since fashion decrees that nobody who is any. body may dine at home," and continued feed. Ing in restaurants is an expense which the majority of us must balance by some corres ponding economy. These, too, am the days of byglenic and dietetic regulation; business men as well as fine ladies bind themselves to rules which, if they do not absolutely prohibit alco hol, define its consumption both in quantity and quality, "Thank you, I am not allowed to touch spirits," is a common remark which would once have conveyed the impression that the speaker was under treatment for delirium tremens-whereas now it passes unnoticed or aver invests him with a halo of sympathetic interest...

AND CONSCIENCE?' Beyond all this, is there not room to hope that as a nation we are more temperate than wo used to be? Methinks the Wanderer sees lesa drunkards in the streets than he did in former days and it is only that the police are more alert.

Already the story of the expert wine taster, who could distinguish,. blindfold, all wines but only recognised water as the stuff one cleans one's teeth with, has begun to lose its moral if not its point.
