The reperte of the British and Indlen
oommieetone on the consumption of opium
apd hemp in India, jpet returned, will come
` ae a disappointing surprise to the piddle,
4 The inquiry in both owe seems to haee
been exhaustive and intended to probe the
mutter to the bottom, that on opium being
oondueted on a great eoale, apd includiug
among the witpeesee examined merry called
by the Anti•Opium Sopiety. The questions
preeeuted for the determination of the
commission were three in number ---whether
the. use of opium as preotieed in India is or
ie not fnjurfoue, whether nubile opinion
favors ite uec, and whether in any event
ite tote! prohibition le preotioable. On the
liret and most important point the commie,
eion relied chiefly on the testimony of phy..
eioiene, both these in government employ
and in private practice, native and foreign,
including dome of the medical missionaries,
The bulk of this testimony is to the effect
that the moderete neo of opium in India
le not more injurious than the same neeof
alcohol in England, indeed, even lees
injurious because its excessive use does
not, like that of epirite, tend to provoke
to oxime, while in many inetenoee it le taken
with positive benefit. By the nativea it t'e
regarded es an excellent remedy for maiar•
ial fever, the great scourge of India, and
xi else of dysentery, cholera and kindred
T.. dioceses, and taken ae a stimulant by per-
eons
ereons past middle Life, ite results are un-
doubtedly benefioial. No physical harm
comes from its consumption by persons in
good health, Indian opium being much
weaker than the Turkish drug used in
�' Europe, while the effeote of its exoeeeive
use have been greatly exaggerated, the
oommiseion finding no evidence that, as a
whole, it produces any extensive moral or
physicist degradation. As native opinion
I le favorable to the use of opium, consump-
tion of, the dreg being very general, and
the moot intelligent Indiana believe ,that
A ite prohibition would be followed by resort
tto alcohol, always fatalto Asiatics, the
commission, by eight to one, agree with
the governing class in India since the con-
quest, that the present eyetem of dealing
with the evil ehoold be left alone.
Practically thesame oonclueionie reaobed
by the Indian commission on the nee of
hemp products, supposed to be always in
'jurioae, and, taken inexcess, to produce
homicidal mania, but which are found
after exhaustive inquiry to have no perei•
eioue effect in the majority of oases cibher
s1 on health or on morale. As we have said,
the results of these investigations come ae
j . a disappointing eurprise,in that they over-
throw all preconceived ideas on the eubjeot,
i but as they seem to be based on aubetantial
evidence, there is nothing to do but ae•
cept them until they are proved to be
wrong. The truth eeeme to be that all raeee
resort to some stimulant to ameliorate the
hard conditions of exietenoe,finding out by
long trial what given them the greatest
comfort with the least physioal injury, and
that the Asiatic has found it in opium, his
constitution through generations bbcomiug
inured to a drug which, with lees abatemi.
the peoples, works irreparable injury. As
be takes opium in email donee, desiring
calm rather than oblivion, and would re-
vert to spirits were he deprived of it, in
hie case infinitely more destructive, prohi•
bition might only increase an evil to which
thereetrainte of public opinion, and so far
as may be safe, of law, may in the end
prove the beet antidote.

ABOUT THE HQUS,U,
Labor Stvlog,
Moet people think that brain work and
housework have no 'met of relation to each
other and gannet be combined, In fact
hard and eystematie brain work underlie
all good housekeeping, and it has been con.
elneively proven that the correct union of
brain work. and housework is copduolve tp
health, heppinees mad long life. Any
form of familiar work, ae plain' ecwiog
knitting or ironing, may be combined with
°operate mental effort. The woman who
gen knit without watching her work close-
ly can read at the came time, Modern in,
ventione supply many devices for hglding
hooka in position for the. reader, „One
woman' managed a device for holding her
book over her table and she read and stud-
ied while 'washing her dishes. Of course
the woman must be willing to make some
aa0riifee of time in arranging her buok and
turning the leaves, otherwise she cannot
combine manual and mental labor, How-
ever, it will still remain a fact that with a
greatpile of dishes staring one in the face
and twenty other duties calling loudly for
attention, many ' housekeeper,' will feel
that they have neither time nor strength
to enatoh time for mental improvement.
One houeekeeper keeps always with her a
note book and pencil and in this jots down
thoughts that occur to her while her'hande
are occupied in the manufacture of esker
and pies. Lydia Maria Child amid that
many of her most beautiful thoughts came
to her while scrubbing the floor. Aside
from the combination of mental and manual
labor there is a great variety of ways in
which the brain may be need to save the
hands and feet. In washing and ironing
there are many ways of lightening labor
and one of these ways is in the purchasing
of the goods. Many women are coming to
believe it a mistaken idea to buy the very
heavy shirting for men's everyday wear on
the tarn,. The same rule applies to heavy
sheeting and muslin for underclothing,
The extra labor required to get such heavy
cloth Olean is decidedly wearing on clothing,
arms and backs. One woman says she Beta.
for her husband's shirts the eame gingham
used for dresses and aprons and that they
!oat from nine menthe to a year, The same
woman gives her method of doing the
weekly family washing : Put the white
clothes to soak the evening before, and
have the boiler filled on the back of the
stove. As soon as possible in the morning
it is brought forward to heat. Shave half
a cake of good soap into a clan and set on
the stove to melt, with two tableopoonfule
of kerosene. Stir occasionally until well
mixed and like eoft soap, then add to the
water in which the clothes are to be boiled.
Long boiling yellows the olothes.
Laundry Hints.
Much of the shrinking and discoloration
of flannels is caused by hot water, hot irons
and the application of soap to the wet flan -
vele. The garments should be looked over
and Boiled spots rubbed with soap before
wetting. Make a warm suds and add a
tablespoonful of ammonia to a gallon of
water. Squeeze Die garments with the
hands and rinse in water of the same tem-
perature es the Bret until clean. If colored
add white vinegar to the water to net the
oolor. After wringing shake well and draw
into shape. Dry quickly as possible. The
garments should be pressed while still damp
with a warm iron until perfectly dry. Un-
der this treatment old flannels will keep Al
soft ae new ones.
As time passes there is less starch used in
the laundry. Some of the old-time etarch-
ed garments were about ae corntortable and
comely as a coat of mail. Skirts, of course,
must have seine starch, though they never
should be so stiff as to rattle, and table
linen irons much better if it has just a
suggestion of starch, though just when the
suggestion has reached the limit meet laun-
dresses seem unable to determine.
To make fine, clear starch, firer wet the
starch with oold water and work till smooth
then pour boiling water over it in the pro-
portion of one quart to ev,-ry two tables.

The latest discovery in the soienti•
So world is that nerve oentres located
in or near the base of the brain con-
trol all the organs of the body, and
when these nerve oentres are
deranged the organs which they
supply with nerve fluid, or nerve
force, are also deranBed. When it
is remembered that a serious injury
to the spinal cord will cause paralysis
of the body below the injured point,.
because the nerve force is prevented
by the injury from reaching the para-
lyzed portion, it will be understood
how the derangement of the nerve
centres will pause the derangement
of the various organs which they
supply with nerve force; thatis,when
a nerve centre is deranged or in any
way diseased it ie impossible for it
to supply the same quantity of nerve
force as when in a healthful condi-hometion; hoe the organs which depend
upon it for nerve force suffer; and are
unable to properly perform their
,work, and as a result disease makes
its appearance.
At, least two-thirds of our chronic
diseases and ailments are due to the
