Thirst in South Africa. —The prees and people of Johannesburg, a goldfield town* ship in South Africa, are considerably exercised in consequence of the decision of the Transvaal Government to enforce the closing of licensed public houses on Sundays. One thirsty journalist says :—“On Sunday evening last abonfc 600 people assembled at Fillis’ Circus to .witness Mr Carn Severn’s capital entertainment, and we would ask what harm could have been done in allowing the audience to obtain tha much-needed refreshment ? We cannot imagine any reason why they should not be allowed to obtain refreshments.” The Port Elizabeth Telegraph, commenting on the above, says :—“ Sunday prize fights, Sunday night concerts, Sunday legerdemain, and clowns in evening dress singing songs of pathetic sentimentality, ought surely to be sufficient to kill what, to the choice spirits and advanced thinkers of Johannesburg, are the weary, dreary hours of a Sabbath evening. But, no— Even these are poor solaces for Transvaal go*aheadism. The journalists, speaking for hundreds of des'ocated throats, ‘ cannot see any tenable objection to allowing persons the opportunity of obtaining refreshment on Sunday as well as on a week day..’ Just so ; but the Government, in the interests of peace, law, order, sobriety, morality, and ordinary reverence for the day, see every possible objection to it.” Floriline !—For the teeth and breath —-A few drops of the liquid ‘ Floriline ’ sprinkled on a wet tooth-brush produces a pleasant lather, which thoroughly clean.aea the teeth from all parasites or impurities, hardens the gums, prevents tartar, stops decay, gives to the teeth a peculiar pearly whiteness, and a delightful fragrance to the breath. It removes all unpleasant odour arising from decayed teeth or tobacco smoko, * The Fragrant Floriline,’ being composed in part of honey or sweet herbs, is delicious to the taste, and the greatest toilet discovery of the aoe.
