We are now in possession of a yeaj-'s experience as fo the working of Dr Gameroti'f Habitual Drunkards Abr, and H is clear from the report jijst iesaed.ihat virtually it has. proved to be inoperative. AWeowe this statute, lit may be fetU-thbered, to the b_rie-|c-lent' laoours of the late Dr D6_-ald Dairy mple, who came to the conolusiim that drunkenness is ad isease as capable of treatment as any other recognised .qalady. It was his conviction that if ypu, can only catch a drunk. rd and keep him locked op fqr a sufficient length of time ; if you cab supply him duiiag this period with rational amusement ; if you can io'sMl. moral precijfjts into him ; and if you also quiet ilis nerves by bromide of potassium and other isuob sedatives, you will find [at the end of/a c.ftein number ot montps that he will emerge from the asylum restoredtd general health and a. teetotaller. _>ince the Act cabae into force on January I, 1880. two retreats l».te been established, and the litspect-ir, in bis report says :— " I am unable !to poiot out a single case where c p?rmi»ae_ t cure baa been effected, but I can re- . fer to several cases in which I think some good has resulted ; and I am able to soy that, as a ruTe, the general health of the patients bas improved during their residence in these retreats."-!— European Mail. There have been several distressing deaths lately (says the Home Newt) amongst young people who. had been crammed to a fatal extent that they might pass examinations. If they had lived and had succeeded in passing these examinations, they would have injured themselves for life; but they have died. They are the victims of ambitious parents, and. of professors who: imagine that parrot, knowledge is wisdom. The military cadet, in addition to Latin; Greek, algebra, mathematics, French, and German, has to take up for examination " The Canterbury Tales " as his first reading -book. The object seems to be to cram the education bf a lifetime into the first two decades of existence,- so that the system may be able to boast that it turns out a youth so perfect that he never need want, and certainly Would not be likely to wish, to open a book again. ■-Ttie nurses at the Melbourne Hospital have now been furnished with. a uniform, which better BUits tbfcm than the one they were in the habit of w.arihg previously; It consists of a navy blue dress, with large white rspro.., bib,'anii collar, while the crown pf the, head is covered with a bonnet. * ! -^' -*"■- ' va „,,, ;:■::• .-■■■■ -,:,:,-..*> vA ,, : > yj

JOURNALIST, a!? j I am now writibg^sbriies; df ;^ tftici for a London weekly/of large 0 cirdiilL tion, afc two guineas each » atfd asTttjef' editor does nofc like articles to rim more than a coliimn and a half, and ttie column averages about seven hundred words, the pay is not bad* Theordiaatjy rate of fche Saturday Review -is thr^e guineas for two columns, qnd tlje large London* dailies generally pay correspondents afc ; the rate 1 , of- tufo guineas the column. Leader writers are specially retained and well paid; the leader writers on the •" Times " gk from £1200 to £1,500 a year; the editor, has £2,000, :and .the manager £5,000 a year. Nobody seems to" know, or to be able to gu.ss, fche annual : gains of the " Times," but the popular imagination puts them down at about; j a quarter of a million. The " great ciljy ; leaf," as . German . papers are in the habit; of calling t heir mighty contemporary, _ is noted for its liberality wijh its employees. A man once on tile "Times" may consider himself provided for for life, if he does his duty. The difficulty of getting oij may ;be estimated from the fact that the number of fully qualified candidates for situations, all waiting anxiously fbr tbeir turn, is scarcely ever less than 1,500. Not thiit' fche proprietor, confine themselves in their ielecfcioiU for vacancies to the names on their list ; they take a good man^especially when they want a good leader writer or foreign corresponded, wherever they find him. It goes without saying that the " Times "must be organised almojifc fco perfection in all- its department.? ; nevertheless there is ah old-lashioiied I something in its ways qf doing business an absence of ehabbiness,- a loftiness Ot manner; and a ; clinging to ancient forois exceedingly refreshing in these days Of .ue-inesa, push, and frantic competition. For instance, when the ''Times" has to make you a remittance, it does not, as other papers do, send you a cheque-~ though a "Time's" cheque would probably be.gopd fpr $ny amount up to a million sterling that might be inscribed thereon; it eends you a Bank of England post-bill. If you call at the office for your account, you are paid in crisp banknotes or gold coin ofthe rea;_n, and as the kindly paymaster and publisher hands you the cash, he exchanges a few friendly words with jou, and,. 4a likely as not, offers you a pinch of snuff". You are not hustled in at one doo'r.anjd hurried out afc another, like a bale 6f good.; no over-reaching cashier tries _o cut down your little bill, and if there-is ia it, perchance, ft doubtful item, the limes givee you the benefit of the doubt. It is a very lord among, journals, and ifc wili be quite in accordance with the fitness of things if, as runs . the ..ruoiaur^ _tha_.principal proprietcr of .the Timss is, made a peer.
