WHAT IS THE NEW ZEALAND ALLIANCE.

+ <. Thcae of our readers who are Interested In, but not conversant with, the platform and policy of the New Zealand Alliance, •re referred to the following pwtlcnlars, which have been handed us for publica tion :— The New Zsaland Alliance ia an Asso ciation of Temperance and Social Pefor mers, and was tormsd In Wellington on the Ist of March, 1886 At th 6 fitet meeting r.f the General Council then held, when the Society wsvi pcblicly Inaugurated, the following De CLABiTION OF PoMCr AND PLATFORM WS3 unanimously adopted aa a ba^la for the agitation, and aa Indic^tiug the character and scopa of the movement : — PiArrroßK 1 "That It U neither r!gbt nor politic for the State to afford legal protection and sanction to any traffic or Bfstcm that tends to increase crime, to waste the. national resources, to corrupt the sooial habits, and to destroy the health acd lives of the people. g. "That the traffic m intoxicating liquors, as common beverages, is inimical to the true interests of individual, and destructive to the order and welfare of society, and onght, therefore, to bo pro hlbited. 3. '-That the history and results of all pant legislation hi regard to the liquor traffic abundantly prove that it is im pnßßible, Batiefaclorily, to limit or regulate a Byatom ao essentially mlechlevoua m its tendencies. 4. " That no consideration of private gain or public revenue can justify the upholding of a system so utterly wrong m principle. Buicidal In policy^* and disas trous m results, aa the traffic m intoxi cating liquors. 5. " That the legislative prohibition of the liquor traffic is perfectly compatible with rational liberty, and with all the claims of justice and legitimate commerce 6. w That the legislative suppression of the liquor traffic would be highly conduc ive to the development of a progressive civilisation. 7. " That, rlslug above claEB, saotarlan, or party considerations, all good oitizeos should combine to procure an enactment prohibiting the sale of intoxicating bever ages, as affording most efficient aid m removing the appalling evil of intemper ance." Policy 1. "This Alliance has been instituted foe the suppression and pro hibition of the liquor traffic It seeks to unite la this effort thosa who are not abstainers as well as those who are, thete being many who, though they themselves are moderate drinkers of alcoholic liquors, deplore the waste and nvsary caused b*y their legalised sale. 2. " The immediate aim of the Allia' JOe is to secure for the people the legal d'.reot power to veto the liquor traffic. 3. "This Alliance believes t'jat when the people possess this power., with suffi cient facility for its exercise, Oiey will free the colony from the heavier^ harden that is laid upon Ub financial resources, and from the principal cauea. of its disease, destitution, and crime. 4r» l< To attain thl'a result the members of iho Alliance &?& expectnd to use ail the influence they posiesn to secure the election to Parliament, and to all olher positions of power, of such candidates as are favorabJe to the principles of the Allisnce. The acceptance of these prin ciples, with an annual subscription of not less than 2s 6d, constitutes membership. The Executive will account annually m Its report for the rsveoma derived from this and other eonrcQo, aid for the dis bursement thereof." The Alliance has no test of member- It invites the aid acd co-operation all good elliz^ns, whether abstainers or not. It has but one obj^c* — the removal of the liquor traffic by a law, enacted by Parliament, and enforced by public opinion, armed with executive power. Personß may join the Ailianc3 and re ceive cards of membership, on subscribing two shillings and sixpence and up«rarda. This may bq paid to the Secretary of the Ashburton auxiliary, Mr 0. Dlxo»,. from whom documents connected with the movement may be bad gratis o% applica tion,

STBANGE FOODS.

The old acyinu: that what la one mart 'a meat ia another man's poison, is realised m the opposite taate3 of people. The Taiks shuddfer an the thonght of eating oysters The Digg-r Indians of the Pacific Coast r»j)iced m the great looast swarms of 1875 as a dispensation of tba Greht Spirit, a: d laid ta a store of dried Icenat powder eufficient to last them for several years, 'J he French will eat froga 4 snails, and the diseased liver of Pbeae>, bnt draw the line at allisatorp. BuckJand declares the taEte of the boa conp.triciw? to be good and muoh like veal. Qaae*,, the fermented cabbage water of the Raeaians, is their popular tipple. It ia described as resembling a mixtare of eta}© fiah and Boapsnda In ta&t», yet, next to beer, it baa more votaries than any other- fermented beverage. A tallow candle wgohed down with quasß form 3 a meal that it would be hard to be thaakfnl for.. In Oaaton and other Chinese cities the rats are sold at the rate of 2? per dozen, sad the hind quarters of the dog ara hung up m the batchers' ehcp alongside of matton and lamb, bqt command a higher price. The edible bird's nesta of the Chinese are «rorth twice their weight m ailver, the finest quality aeiliog for as much as £6 per pound. The natives of the Antillea eat &ri./ator esgs ; acd the egg 3of the turtle are popular everywhere, though up to the commencement of last century turtle waa only eaten by the poor of Jamaica, A.nts were eaten by different nations. Ia Bn z I they are served with a resinous sav.ce, and m Africa they are ■tewed with grease or butter. The East Indians catch them m pits and wash ther^ In handfuls like raisins. I a Slam lev iK y of sat egga is a very costly loxury. The Cingalese eat the bees after robbing them of their honey.

The temperature rose anormooßly. In consequence tbe dressing was removed, and on its place were made daring the day-lime repeated irrigations with Eucalypti Extract. The offensive foeter dis- appeared very soon, the fever abated within a few days, and the patient recovered after the lapse of several weeks. In this instance vie must not lose sight of the faot that the latter treatment saved the patient's life.' — (AdTt.) 3 1
