He first injeetedoee greixt beneath the skin, It ex- hilare bed /din itud make him feel el nitell4PPYi but he was sleepless after it almost eutil morning, and arose with a swore headeekie. This headache followed each trial. Ilie next night he injeoted two grains, And the sv.ine pleasant feelieg followed accom- panied by aniaordinate desire to write. He wrote much, and thought At the time his work the best he had ever dune, but found it in the, morning to be disconnected nonsense, i eachate entetese being complete in itself, but hay tug no relation to the others. 'fi next iujected three grains, and felt the same inclination to write, but restrained himself, and indulged in speech -making. Having at different.intervals injected succes- sively six or eight grains, he then injected eighteen. The effect was intense exhilara- tion, and inability for some hours to recall what he did. Next Morning he found he had thrown his office into more or less dis- order. There had, in each instance, been much palpitation of the heart, but tisas time it was greatly increased. His heali ache lasted two days. But he felt no disposition to commit acts of violence, and was not con- scious of any habit. It seems to us, however, that Dr. Ham- mond overlooked two important facts : First, that all such habits are formed gradu- ally ; and s000ndly, that temperament is an important consideration in the ease, persons of a nervous temperanient being specially suaceptible. In the discussion which followed the read- ing of the paper, Dr • Mattison said he had had within a few months seven eases of the habit under his care, five of which were physicians. A physician, in attempting to write a prescription, wrote for a sheriff to come and take the patient to jail. He had also himself noticeclhallueinations and delusions. He thought the Continued use of the drug more injurious than that of the morphine. His patients had gradually acquired their habits. The s President of the society referred to thirteen cases reported by a single German physician. In Pittsburg a prominent phy- sician'who had formed the habit, became violent, and, under the delusion that he was being attacked by burglars, began firing right and left. Insomnia. On retiring for the night we are apt to carry our business with us, or we have some pet theory to further develop; it is wrong to permit any subject to take possession of us at such a time. Yet the surroundings are most favorable to mental activity. It be- comes easy to think ; it is a real pleasure. It is only to begin a train of ideas, or to find ourselvs urged on as if by some unseent stimulthere is an unaccountable vigor with ourtimenta.1 pewers, not often present through the day. By and by we begin to realize that this ought not to be encouraged; so we desire sleep, but sleep is farthest from us. What is the remedy? I have often risen and taken a bit of plain food, then fixed my attention on some other subject, and always with good results. But this remedy I feel is not a proper one; it is only directing the determination of blood from one set of organs to another ; the whole body wants quiet rest. Thus far my best means of relief is to ab- solutely so:n my mind down to some single trivial ob , as a view of running water, or countin a half dozen figures, over and over till al is forgettAu. Hygiene. No chemist, however able, can analyze a taste. It has been proved over and over again that people are healthiest when they eat moderate quantities cf what "tastes good." The customrry privy of country and vil- lage houses is a plague spot, and a blot upon civilization. It is a retrogression from bar- barism. It is a method worse than that of any beast of the earth. Its existence among civilized people is utterly inconceivable, al- though familiar as a fact. It is without the smallest excuse of necessity, of convenience, or of ignorance, wherever there is soil, and a cat to give lessons ort the first principle of sanitary prudence an& decency. The multiplied appliances and complex ways of highly civilized life do not makefor health and long life. The comparatively uncivilized do not suffer much from disease, and their offspring are not doomed to die in great part in their infancy. The simple habits of those who live close to nature are most favorable to real human welfare. To live close to nature, which in general means in accord with nature -that is the cardinal axiom which the doctor of hygiene would do well to specially inculcate. Life is best sustained amid alternations of dryness and moisture. It is common to look on damp or rainy days as those of greatest exposure as to health. But the dry, arid, dusty atmosphere is in many respects more trying. On our ploaaent days we are less on guard against the unseen and insidi- ous forces of disease. We therefore believe that the attention of most persons, and es- pecially of invalids, needs to be drawn to the perils of very dry weather both as they relate to the person, the ground, the water supply, and the effect of the dry air on con- ditions of health. Surgeon Major Warburton says that in caseof ague, where quinine and arsenic, either eparate or combined, exert little or n. no insei he has found a grain or two of esti4x opium With ten or fifteen grains of quinine exhibited an hour or two before the expect. ed paroxysm to act like a charm. If possible the patient should go to bed hi a darkened room, he falls asleep or dozes, and the attack either does not come on at all or is greatly lessened in severity. The opium acting as a sedative on the vaso -motor system would thu s appear to allow the quinine to exert its antiaperiodic power unopposed. It is a well-known faot that country peo- ple do not look to be and really are not so generally healthy as city people of the same rank in life, so far as material things go. And there is no doubt that this arises from their uusanitary modes of living, which are forced upon them by the conditions surround- ing them and a leak of that knowledge and experience of other war of life which would teach them to bend their condition to their ileeds. It is only Mummery to use a little energy or better still, a little brains, to count the netning disedveiitages of country life into positive blessings, or at the most not disagreeable eircurnstancea. The bite a a dog in health is no more poisonous than the Eierateh cif a pin. It will be well however, for those who have been• bitten by a strange animal to have the r wound at once cauterized,. This: while. U neeessary in the ,vast majority '0 elftees, will have a salutary ;mutat eft'fmtat least, and' can; do no harm 0 no good results. If a dog bites a person, under no condition amid lio bc killed, Let the owner elielu or isolate hitn,. as he cheeses, and permit tii„e injured one tO visit hiin from time to time for, at least a week or more, and thereby be con- vinced that the dog is healthy, Thus will fear, the most prominent element in silica Peen, be eliminated, , Cold bathstrain the Ciiteeibou'e vessels to contact aod thua lessenthe loss of beet when the body is suddenly exposed to cold ; thepersone who have thus hardened" mselves are less liable to "take cold," but are oleo able to endere greater degrees of °old then are these whe have not so train- ed their auteneous vessels. The time of tak- ing a cold bath is a matter of importanee ; before breakfast being ths: usual time, This call be well borne only by the most robust ; the best hour being midway betyeen break- fast and dinner. When the system is felly, braced to throw off the depressant effect of the cold water, and to rouse to that reaotion which has to be inaisted upon as A nille qua non, if the bath be not absolutely hurtful. A popular idea that the water should not be entered while the ourface is warm needs to be exploded. The surface and extremities sitoic/c/ be warm wnen e cold bath is taken, and exercise should be taken juist previously, if necessary to effect this purpose. ----sesse-eues.eue.-ae What She Did. • Many stories are told of the courage of the ,women of that early generatiou who first broke ground in the forests of this coun- try. They were in constant peril from wild beasts aud from hostile Indians, but with heroic patience endured hardships, labor and disease., An example of another kind of courage is preserved by the descendants of Christiana Dickson, the wife of one of the first settlers of Ontario. She was a small, blue-eyed, low -voiced woman, extremely timM by na- ture; on only one point was she resolute : she had a horror of drunkenness. She lived in the days when the use of liquor was universal. Whisky was as com- mon a drink as water among these hardy, hard-working pioneers A -temperance or abstinence society was unheard of. But when her sons were born, she resolv- ed, as far as she could, to put a stop to whfs- key-driuking he her home. Her husband being absent from home, her brothers called for the help of the neighbors, according to the custom of the time, to put up a barn needed on her farm. They all assembled and went to work, while she prepared a great dinner. After an hour or two, whis- key was asked for. One of her brothers came to the house for it; she refused to pro- vide it, to make her Mends drunk. Her other brothers, and at last an elder in the church, came to reason with her ; to tell her that she would be accused of mean- ness. Without a word, the little woman went out to the barn, and baring her head, stepped upon a log and spoke to them in a faltering Voice: "My neighbors," she said, " this is a strange thing. Three of you are my broth- ers, three of you are elders in the church, all of you are my friends. I have prepared for you the best dinner in my power. It you refuse to raise the barn without liquor, so be it. But before I provide whiskey to give to you, these timbers shall rot where they lie." The men angrily left the work and went home; the little woman returned to the house, and for some hours cried as though her heart would break. But the next day every man came back, went heartily to work, enjoyed her good dinner, and said not a word about whiskey. Afterwards the use of whiskey at barn - raisings was discontinued in the county. Her sons grew up strong, vigorous men, who did good work in helping to civilize and Christianize the world; their descendants are all of a high type of intellectual and moral meu and women. If she had yielded this little point, they might have degenerat- ed, like many of their neighbors, into drunk- ards and spendthrifts. Our stout-hearted pioneer forefathers re- deemed the land, and drove out the wild beasts and serpents : but there are still vices and malignant customs to be conquered, and for the work we need women of high souls and gentle spirits, like Christiana Dickson. An Lidefatigable Liar. As an illustration of the "colossal liars" of the West, General McCook relates the following: He was travelling among the Rocky Mountains, and straying out one morning from the trail, stood for a moment entranced by the magnificent landscape spread before him, when he was aroused from his meditations by the footsteps of one of the guides, who had followed him, lest he should lose Ills way. " Is not this magnificent, Bill ?" exclaim- ed the General, anxious to share in his de- light. " It's mighty purty, General," said the guide, "but I kin show you bigger sights nor this. Why one time, Kansas Jim and me had been trampin' three days and nights, and we came to a plain, and right in the midst of it was a forest all turned to solid stun 1" The General smiled and remarked : "1 have heard of petrified trees before, 13111." The guide expectorated without changing countenance and continued : "But that warn't all, General. Thar war a buffalo on that plain, andhe war petrified on the clean jump, and his huffs had kicked up a bit of sod, and I'm blamed ef that warn't petrified in the air 1" The General turned an amused counten- ance on the narrator and said " Why, Bill, the sod would have fallen to the ground by force of gravity." Without any hesitation Bill answered ; "Well, by gosh, General, the gravity war petrified, too 1" Wasn't °aught Napping. "Well, Mr Brown, how is your amide - tion to -day ?" inquired the physician of an editor whom he had been visiting for some time. The sick man raised his head cautiously, and asked : "Doctor, am I very sick ?" "Oh, not so very." "This isn't likely to be my last illness is t ?" "Not at all ; not at all." "Fifty thousand copies daily," replied the editor firmly, as he laid his head back on the pillow.

Several German legends are vonneeted with this superstition. The reader, if he has been. to Aix-lit-Ohapelle, has doubtless had the rift in the great door pointed out to him, and has been told bow it came there. The devil and the &voluted made a Copped that the first should supply the plans and the second gain the kudos; and the devil's pay was to be the first who °reseed the threshold when the church was built, When the building was nearly corn. plete the arehitect's conscienee emote him, and he coufessed the compact to the Biahop. "Well do him," said the prelate; that isto say, he said something to this effect in terms more apprqpriate to the century in whiela he lived, ancl to his high ecelesiestical office. When the proeession formed to enter the minster for the coneeeration the devil lurked in ambush behind a pillar, and fixed his wicked eye on a fine fat and succulent little chorister as his destined .prey. But alas for his hopes! this fat little boy had been given his instructions, ana, as he neared the great door, loosed the chain of a wolf and sent it through. The evil one uttered a howl of rage, snatched up the wolf, and rushed away, giving the door a kick aft he paned it that split the solid oak. ronner Times and These. There are some people continually crying out that everything is going to the dogs, and that the former times were better than these. Everything is not going to the dogs, and the former times, if they actually came back, would have a very poor welcome. The Queen celebrates her Jubilee under far better auspices and with a far more pros- perous country than what she could rejoice in fifty years ago. A paper read lately in London by an able and reliable official of the Board of Trade tells how this is the ease so far as British ships and sailors are concerned. In 1837, when the Queen came to the throne, there were, we are told, 25,820 registered British ships, including 60% steamers. That number has in fifty years grown to 38,335, of which 8013 are steamers. The registered tonnage fifty years ago was 2:1 millions. It is now 9a millions, and though there are still faulty "coffin" ships there are fewer now than then, for the pro- tection then given to British' vessels put a premium on faulty construction. Drunken- ness and incompetency anions.- officers and men have greatly diminished. The hor- rible press gang is a thing of the past. Sailors are greatly better cared for and pro- tected. Tiey are becoming steady and pru dent. Th e& deposit every year in the Sav- ing's Bank about £70,000. A good deal still requires to be done, but things are bet- ter now than they were then. ,-.411114.400.-11 A Perplexed Dude. "Say, Awthur." "Yes, chappie."

An old North Sea skipper who was asked to buy a number of life -belts for his vessel's use waxed eloquent in the sublimity of his contempt. "Take 'em away 1" said the old "salt." "Don't let me see such long -shore rubbish on my decks. I don't want no life - belts, nor no smelling -salts, nor no eau -de - Cologne, nor no feeding -bottles or fans aboard of me.

There are few women who, if they have exhibited the judgment and tact which generally command a certain measure of happiness in life, arrive at middle life with- out acquiring an expression of face which is often no bad substitute for actual beauty. Character and experience leave their mark upon the feminine countenance more con- spicuously than time iteelf, and when a woman has passed the age of thirty her face proclaims, with increasing distinction, whe- ther she is a daughter of wisdom or folly.

The Company's aggregate insurance in force jumped up from $2,696,450 at the end of 1885, to $'5,241,677 at the end of 1880.
