AMBULANCE FOR OLD TOPERS.

How tfalvationints Hope to Reach the llrunkurds of Uothnni. Tlie .Salvation Army has devised a pew method of reforming, or, at least, of helping men who have been unfortunate

e nough to get drunk. It is culled the ambulance liquor cure. It will be I tried in New York. (The ambulances are 'to patrol by night those parts of the city where the largest crop of street “drunks" is to be found. One pretty

array lass will drive and two more will assist the helpless victim of spirits into the wagon, lie or she will be taken to the army headquarters, given a lied and a breakfast in the morning. If tlie lodger is grateful for this kindness and has a few •nits to give away, the army will not reluse to take the fee. This sort of crusading smacks, a little of kidnaping, but the [lolieo will not interfere with it. It will save tlie force some trouble, and the unfortunates the humiliation of an appearance in tlie police court. Tlie ambulances to be used will be distinguished from those used by the police and hospitals with a large Circle inclosing a carmine iieart and surounded by the lettering, “League of Love Ambnlunce."
