A farmer's wife ffiods herself a sufferer from periodical slick headaches; It society woman on the ge of nervous collapse ; a brain worker unequal to the task else has undertaken. A small dose of InOrphine, a third Of a grain of quinine, -a-drink of alcohol in oue of the many forms, even to Florida water and per - fantasy, is a quick but dangerous stimu- lent. The next day, at the same hour, the same remedy is at hand, and before . slimy weeks the victim is chained to the habit. This particularly true of the drugs, which have none of the social temptations of liquor drinking. There fano pleasure in taking drugs, and those who continue to do so confess when atred, the "horrible, indescrible agony, both mental and physical, of attempts to do without it. Three grams of mos- phiue are generally constdered a fatal dose, yet many women who apply for treatment aro taking enough every day to kill BO persons. One of the most " distressing phases of the drug habit is its effect on the moral sense of its victim. Investiga- tors ire authority for the statement that women—and of course men as well —are absolutely untruthful, even re- garding the most trivial affairs, when they have acquired ,the habit. ..In this paetacular, opium is much moreto be •dreaded than liquor. The intensity of the craving is most" horrible to witness, —aswas-shown-by a recent ihstansce;A woman was arrested on some minor charge and locked up. She sent to a friend to bring her her accustomed dose of opium. Instead of removing the cork,which would have taken but an instant, she clutched the bottle tightly between her hands and tossed broken glass and powder into her mouth. Then her calmness returned. Those who know confirmed opium eaters believe they would walk barefooted over live coals or face any horrors for the sake Of -appeasing their craving. So saturated does the body become after veers ot opium eating that its crystals exude through the skin and about the joints. Those who use the hyperemic needle. are enabled to take much larger quan- tities than by swailowing the powder. The desire for any of these drugs and also for liquor. is periodical, and the scientific cure, which has proved so successful, combats .this regular swing of the nervous. pendulum by rythmipal rzeatment. • Good Words for Americans. Take themsas a whole, the Ameri- cans are the kindliest race on the lace :if the earth. In !Tins of their eager- ness, their push their desire te be in the front rank at all times and all seasons, the true ArneriCan seldom fails in kind- ness. He wants badly to prevent any- one getting ahead of him mentally, physically, and morally, but his com- petitors falls in, the struggle he will make untold sacrifice to help him up. The rule in American business is pure cut-throat competition parried to its logicai conelusions. You are expected to press and push every paint as far as it possible be pushed and pressedssand 'no one is expected to consider whether, in making a commercial cans, you will not ruin Brown, Jones and Robinson. The moment:. however, that Brown, Jones or Robinson actually goes under he is treated with the utmost generosity and consideration. The hand which struck him down is •ts,inotantly stretched forth to help him, kind as much, ease and trouble are used to put him on his feet again as were originally employed to knock him off them. In social intercourse this kind- ness and sunniness are specially attract-. i'ee. The American will take infinite pains to make the merest stranger happy. He is courteous and plditisant- spoken, not like the Frenchman. from convention, but from,' the sense of pleasure which his instinctive optimism teaches him to diffuse.

NQ MORE PICKLES, Beaten School Girl, to Be Deprived of Thele Viiverite itmeehemi, Considerable interest is being mani- fested in regard to the luncheons now provided at recess time for boys and girls in the High schooat. At almost every High school in the city the ma- jority of the pupils buy their luncheons from the lunch counter kept by the janitor, and the food so provided con- sists largely of pies and cakes—"bake- house stuff," as some people call it— and pickles. The janitors keep that kind of food because the pupils will buy it in preference to other more wholesome kinds, and also because there is probably more profit in it. Nevertheless, the parents of the pupils are anxious that some different system may be adopted in the matter of fur- nishing luncheons. They think it high time that something was done about it, for in schools where there are no lunch cout4ers, peddlers of cheap candy, cocoanut cakes and other unwholesome compounds, make their appearance at recess, and are generally well patron- ized by the hungry boys and girls. The first official step toward bettering this state of things was taken recently, when an order was passed by the school board providing that all luncheons sold in the public schools should be such as are approved by the Committee on Hy- giene and Physical Training, Moreover the committee was instructed to report at the next meeting of the board a plan for providing suitable luncheons at proper places for the high school pupils. Just what the committee intends to do is hard to say,but several persons in- terested are hoping that it will be able to make some arrangement with the New England Kitchen whereby soups, sandwiches, milk, and other wholesome articles of food may be furnished direct to the pupils at moderate prices. The kitchen has its main station on Pleas- ant street, and another station at the North End. It is thought that soups might be carried from the kitchen to . the school in tanks, just as coffee is -sometimes-transported, and in that way might be served hot. Such a system of providing luncheons would be more fa- vorable tolhe health of the pupils, and therefore more acceptable to the par- ents. As for the old system, the jani ors are not thought to merit any blame, for they simply provide what theispupils would buy; but now that the committee has taken the matter in hand, it is likely that niost pupils will have to give up the practice of making a luncheon on an eclair, a piece of pie, or a pickle.— Boston Transcript. Cleaning St. Paul'. Every few years somebody raises the question whether St. Paul's Cathedral in London ought not to be cleaned from the soot with which it is encrusted, and restored to something like its primitive whiteness. Some time ago an experi- ment of the sort was made on one of the porticos, which forthwith assumed a mottled or piebald appearance. Now the matter has come up for discussion again, and the following interesting point is made in a letter to The Times by a well-known architect : "I have had the opportunity, when examining softie of our London stone -faced churches, of removing the coat of dirt with a view of seeing the condition of the stone under it, and have found it to be perfect. The casing of dirt appeared to be made chiefly of, road dust, which had adhered to the stone (only the outer coat of all being grey black). All the deleterious chemicals must have gone out of the lower layer, so that the dirt was a perfect protec- tion. If it were all cleaned off, the !stone would be subjected to the strong !chemicals in our London atmosphere. 'It must be remembered that this dirt 'only adheres to the parts which aro not completely washed by the rain, and that it is just these parts, therefore, which 'are in most need of protection. It at some future time the atmosphere of London should be as pure as the atmos- phere of the country is now, it might be wise to act on the suggestion, but until that time comes I sincerely trust that no each experiment will be tried."

The Spanish royal family has been staying during the last three months at the royal villa at San Sebastian. They pass the mornings on the beach, but do, not bathe,"and the afternoons in eX- cureions to the little towns in the neigh- bourhood, which, although mainly Carl- ist, receive the young King and his mother with great friendliness. The last .great event of the day at San Se- baStian was the unveiling of the statue ,of Admiral Oguendo. When the Queen laid the first stone of the pedestal of this statue some years ago, King Al- fonso Otiose popularly known as "Altou- site") was a haby in arms, and his Aus- trian nurse had great difficulty in keep- ing hirii still.

There are con- ditions of health as well as disease when a cold bath might be fatal in effect. Peculiarities of temperament and dis- position, and individual susceptibilities must be considered in water cures. (4 en - orally it is a whosome habit to acquire and one that israrely carried to ex - Cess. A cold bath is most beneficial taken when the system is relaxed by indol- ence, sleepiness or mental unrest. Dur- ing convalescence its cautious use is productive of the happiest results. A cold shock from a shower of water is often beneficial for constipat4on, while' in catarrhal and liver troubles cold water is an essential in the treatment. of course attention to the details is of the greatest importance. Done in five min- utes in a comfortable temperature and the whole body rubbed or brushed into a glow of warmth the desired results should be obtained, whereas delay, neg- ligence in making the toilet and ignor- ant exposure to chill will make the bath hurtful instead of heneficial. People who take cold easily will find a daily cold bath an effectual preven- tion. For those unfortunates desig- nated as nerve prostrated, habitual cold dips before breakfast or after any great strain upon the nerves or emotions in business, domestic or social intercourse, promise the best results. Bilious, dyspeptic and corpulent women need` the tonic effect' of cold water at least once in twenty-four hours.—Philadelphia Times. :Fees for IntervievoC The New York Sun's "'eerrespondent in London at . one time wrote to Mr. Gladstone asking him for an interview on the Irish question, and in the course of an interview which followed with Mr. Gladstone's secretary it was learn- ed that e, fee of $500 woUld, be expected .payment for the interview, it being uirderstoddsS",044Mr.-:-Glatliftone: should write it himself," and thus make it authoritative.

"Tho ambidextrous man not only has the ad- vantage over lig opponent in sparring and all athletic sports, but he has a great advantage over others in games of skill, in almost any kind of business and is a better man all round. The one - handed man is a one-sided man. The muscles on the right side of the right- handed man become developed at the expense of the muscles of the other side; that' shoulder becomes higher and the man grows lop -sided. To avoid this ought to be the effort of every 'youth, for then the muscular habit is formed. The difficulty may be corrected in some degree, however, by systematically using the left, or weaker hand and arib. Keep your keys and things in your left hand pocket, roach for things with your left hand, pick up weights with your left.

He was lowered into the grave. but happily, as the first clod rattled on his coffin :Ale began to feel the blood pulsating at his heart and his powers returned to him. He found that he could move his hands, and began to hammer on the coffin lid and call for Ileac.

A GOLD MEDAL Colored Plaster for wails. Colored plaster is now so frequently used for finishing the walls of new houses that workmen do not object to its use as strongly as they did a few years ago, and it is now a common thing to see the walls of one room color- ed a pretty buff or yellow, and of °there soft reds, and rose and ,other colors. It is asserted, however, that too much of the colored powder added to the plas- ter injures its quality. Builders, are, however, . experimenting with a mortar pulp that comes in all colors, and which it is claimed improves the mortar. A writer in the Art Interchange, says that in one of its green shades it is "cool, delightful and fascinating," and gives the follow- ing directions for its use : "To prepare mortar in this manner a atnall quantity should first be mixed with coloring mat- ter and a portion dried before the fire. If the shade is too light or too dark, more color or more mortar is added until it suits. Be sure to mix all that is needed for one room at a time, as it is difficult to match. The ceiling should be several shades lighter . than the walls." r""VAIIIIIII*411011111"..."'

ELEVEN YEARS SICKNESS—HER CASE PRONOUNCED POSITIVELY INCURABLE —SHE WAS GIVEN UP TO DIE BY TWO DOCTORS—NOW A PICTURE OF GOOD HEALTH AND STRENGTH. From the l'a^rie Examiner. Near the village of Midhurst, about six miles from Raerie, stands the smithy of Mr, John. Robinson, while within sound of the anvil is his home, where in the midst of a large and leafy orchard dwell the smith and his family. Mr. Robinson is atype of the proverbial blacksmith with "the muscles of his brawny arms as strong as iron bands," but with Mrs Robinson it has been diff- erent. The wife and mother has for a long time been a victim to acute and painful dropsyof the kidneys. Shortly after the birtlt of her youngest child (now about 13 years) Mrs. Robinson began to take fainting spells, accom- panied by violent headaches. Th is con- tinued through the years that have elapsed, during which time she has ob- tained _t behest medical advice available. For about a year she was in constant terror of going insane. Her dultheavar adache, heating sin in the • bees and weak swollen legs and body made her case somet hing fearful. To a rep- resentative of the Examiner IVIrs. Rob- inson said:"It is some five or six years since I took worse, and since then we have spent hundreds of dollars in medi- cine and for medical advice. Thesymp- toms of my cesewere heavy headaches, pain in the hack and kidneys and swollen legs. I rapidly grew worse, and last July was given up by two doctors to die. and all my friends and neighbors tell Inc they never ex- pected to see me -out again. I could not raise myself up, could not dress myself, and had to be assisted in everything. Now I am well and strong, and can put out a big washing without any over exertion. I have also suffered from diarrhoea for a number of years, and when I spoke of it to my doctor he said if it were stopp- ed, worse results would follow. At the urgent request of ruy son, who was then living in Manitoba, and persortally knew of wonderful cures wrought by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I decided to give this remedy a trial. Since using the Pink Pills I have been completely cured and have felt, none but beneficial effects. Only the week before I com- menced taking the Pink Pills I was told by a physician that he could not cure me, and that I would likely get worse when spring came. He analyzed my blood and said it was in a fearful state and that my disease was dropsy of the kidneys, which positively could not he cured. This was about the middle of last January. After the third box of pills my backache left me and it has not since returned. 1 have taken thir- teen or fourteen boxes in all and owe my recovery to this wonderful media cine. I can'tpraise Pink Pills too much, whatever I say or them," said Mrs. Rob- inson, "I recommend them to every- body. I can't speak too highly of them. They saved my life, and I feel it my duty to let others, who are suffer- ing as I was, know all about them." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills strike at the root of the disease, driving It, from the system and restoring the patient to health and strength. In case of paral- ysis, locomotor ataxia, sciatica. rheum- atism, kidney and liver troubles, ery- sipelas, scrofulous troubles, etc., these pills are superior to all other treat- ment. They are also a specific for the troubles which make the lives of so many women a burden, and speedily restore the rich glow of health to sal- low cheeks. Men broken down by. overwork, worry or excesses, will find in Pink Pills a certain cure.
