French Temperance Society.

An organization tor the promotion of temperance in France has been founded by M. Schmidt, deputy for ths department of the Vosges. A feature of the new body is its catholicity. It inclujles every shade of political and religious belief, and all classes of society—politicians, professional men and workmen. A meeting, addressed by doctors, lawyers and a deputy, has just been held in Bordeaux. The new association, which is called "L’Alarme,” justifies its name by caUIng attention to the rising flood of alcoholism to France.
