Public attention has recently been draven to the drug habit by cases in the courts, Some time ago ..a man and woman were placed in the look together. Their condition of nerv- ous distress was pitiable, and they implored the magistrate to allow them to have morphia. Their suffer - lugs 'were so saute that the request was eventuallyagreed to, and the immediate result was marvellous. Their misery and dejection disappear- ed, and, for a time at least, they Weaned...perfectly restored. More recently g, man charged With dishon- est deali,>ff told the magistrate that he was a vir:tim to cocaine, and while under the influence of tho drug .did not know what happened. in- quiries show that the vice is much more common that is generally im- agined. Naturally, it is intended to be a secret sin, but tho victim of the habit quickly becomes mentally and physically demoralized to an extent which renders the services of the doc- tor imperative. On this subject Dr. Forbes Winslow speaks with the authority of one Who has made a close study of the .a!,.diseese for many years. To a re porter of the London Daily News he entered into the matter at some length, and during the interview, quoted from a number of works which he has written on the subject. "In my opinion," he said, 'one of the chief causes of degeneration in the human race is indulgence in opium or the drug habit. In China there aro upward of three millions of opium eaters, and the number is gradually increasing. In one year the value of opium which was sent into England 'WAS OVER. £400,000. I, -One curious thing in reference to the drug is that it takes hold of the in- dividual absolutely; it degenerates hila, and makes him quite unfit 'for the ordinary duties of life. The first symptoms aro feelings of content and slight excitement, followed by laugh- ter of an involuntary nature. At the first stage the smoker has ,feel- ings of delight, while the tempera- ture is increased. Circumstances which happened long ago present themselves in all their originality, and the future appears bright. As the habit increases this feeling of exaltation is followed by depression. At first the complexion, and particul- arly the eyes, present a brilliant ap- pearance, but afterward the face be• comes intensely pale, and generally insensibility supervenes." "Do these conditions apply also to those who are addicted to cocaine?" "Yes, entirely. When I was in New X zk, some time ago, I spent a good deal of time in the Chinese quarter, and it was a most ordinary thing to see Turopean, women there, who had become fascinated by the habit, They hen in • out of the windows. T xe g B y had become its victims to such- an extent that they were incapable of leaving the quarter. Many of them were ladies. "Does the drug habit assume seri- ous proportions here in England?" "Yes, it is a very common thing, chiefly among Indies. Usually it is taken in the beginning to allay pain. Without doubt a largo amount of laudanum is consumed by the upper classes in conjunction with alcohol. It is a hard and fast rule that a dipsomaniac is also addicted to the morphia habit, but not vice versa. "YMe, e, mean that a dipsomaniac who is deprived of drink would try to get drugs, but that a victim of the drug habit does not caro about alcohol?" . "Exactly," "Is the habit increasing in this country?" Very much. As long ago as 1872 no less than 858,211 pounds of opium were imported into England, and if the indulgence was measured by this standard the 'decline and fall of the social system might he confidently predicted." "WFIAT ABOUT THE EFFECTS?" FECTS?" "Well, they are many. As I have already stated, in the early stages the drug produces beautiful feelings and visions. The feelings of the eat- er are not merely pleasurable; he experiences great delight and brilli- ant hi/tides which transcend all real and healthy impressions. Without doubt many painters have done fine work under the influence of opium. "At first only a small quantity is taken, but as the fascination takes hold of the victim the size of the dose is increased, and among the most frequent effects are hallucinat ' ions of hearing. The idea of being in communication with .Satan is most common in these cases. But eventually the victim becomes de- graded in mind, physically demoraliz- ed and mentally diseased. In some asylums in America 88 per cent. of the patients were opium eaters. There is no doubt also that it stimulates to crime. Frequently it happens that the victims of drugs 'will steal things when there is no inducement to do so, in Singapore 80 per cent. of those confined in the House of Cor- rection were opium smokers, and the offences of which they were guilty were nearly all against property." "And the cure?" "The usual method taken by doc= tors is to reduce the amount of the dose by a sliding scale. The victim deprived of the drug is often in a. state of mania, and without relief would frequently lose his reasona it is a well-recognized fact by all the leading authorities that inasmuch as inebriety cap be dealt with by sug- gestion, so the same apitlie5 to the drug habit, That is the only effee- tive reatment of what is really all int r ble disease."

This is how a writer describes a chamois hunt t, The ascent up the excessively steep Mope,; with the crushed snow break- ing under one's steps, was hard work and the fresh signs of game as I reached higher elevations and a whis- tle or two out of the (lease fog, Omitted by chamois at no great dis- tance, made it all the more tantaliz- ing that one's range of vision was no extremely limited. The top of the ridge, some 8,000 feet over the valley, consisted of a black rocky, needle-like pinnacle, too steep for snow to lie, and on scrambling hand over hand to the top, I found to my surprise that it just topped the sea vof white mist. We soon had. glissaded a thousand feet down to about the place where I had heard the chamois whistle on my way up. We were tacking quite loudly when suddenly, without the slightest dwarning, I found myself in the xrfic dee of a band of charnois solve "thirty or forty in number. As I had been' sliding down at a great pace I actually parsed a beast or two within reach of my Bergstocke, and one kid, in its frantic haste to join its mother, nearly ran mo down. Throw ing myse 'f backward into the snow and wrenching off the covering of bolt and muzzle, the chamois, whose surpri,:e seemed to be even greater than ours, actually gave nae time to get in a quick shot at what looked like buck before they vanished in the dense mist. "You have hit him right enough." exclaimed the keeper, but I was not so very certain about it, for it was a case of pulling the trigger before the rifle was well up to airy shouleer. When we reached the spot where the animal had been overtaken by my soft -nosed Mannlicher bullet, a few spurts of blood put a rosier hue on the outlook, As the snow was scored up by countless tracks and the trail of blood soon stopped, we separated in order to more quickly fled the wounded beast. I had not gone far before T slough my quarry -- it was a barren doe, unfortunately— lying 'lead, with my bullet through her shoulder's. RHEUMATISM CUBED A RIGHT WAY AND A WRONG WAY TO TREAT THE TROUBLE. Liniments and. Outward Applica- tions Cannot Cure -The Disease Must be Treated Through the Blood. Rheumatism is one of the most coxmnon ailments with which human- ity is atflicted, and there are few troubles which cause more acute suf- feriug. There is a prevalent notion, also, that if a person once contracts rheumatism it is bound to return in cold or damp weather. This is a mi' .e• rheumatism t�$ Can be thor- oughly ]nQ a I nn driven out of the system, but it must be treated through the blood, as it is a blood disease. Rub- bing the affected joints and limbs with liniments and lotions will never cure rheumatism, though perhaps it may give temporary relief. Dr. Wil - limns' Pink. Pills have cured more cases of rheumatism than perhaps any other disease except anaemia. These pills drive the rheumatic pois- on out of the system by their action on the blond, and the trouble rarely returns if the treatment is persisted in until the blood is in a thoroughly healthy condition As an illustration of how even the most aggrevated forms of this trou- ble yield to 1»'. Williams' Pink Pills, the case of Mr. J. J. Richards, of Port Colborne, Ont., may be cited. Mr. Richards says:—"About three years ago I suffered from a most severe attack of rheumatism. I could neither lie down nor sit up with any degree of ease, and I am, cduite sure only those who have beel•,. similarily afliicted can , understand what agony I endured. I put myself under -the care of an excellent doctor, but got no benefit. Then I tried another and still another, but with no better results. By this time I had become so reduced in flesh that friends hard- ly knew me; I could not move hand or foot and liad to be turned in bed in sheets. Tho pain I endured was something awful. Then I was urged to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and after taking a few boxes there was an appreciable change for the better; the pains began to leave me, and my joints began to limber. I kept on taking the pills until I had used a dozen boxes, by which time every trace of the trouble had disappeared. I firmly believe that had it not been for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I would have been a rheumatic cripple for life.,, These pills not only cure nceuma- tism, but all other" blood and nerve diseases, such as anaemia., indiges- tion, kidney troubles, neuralgia, par- tial paralysis, St. Vitus dance, etc. The .genuine pills always bear the full. name, "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peopie," on the wrapper around every box.

Descriptions of the Cunningly De- vised House. The muskrat builds a most com- fortable house. Mr. Charles G. D, Roberts describes this strictly utili- tarian structure. The entrance, dug with great and persistent toil from the very bottom of the hank,, for the better 'discouragement of the muskrat's deadliest enemy, the mink, runs inward for nearly two feet, and then upward on a long slant some five or six feet through the natural ,soil. to a point where the shore is dry land at the average level of the water. Over this exit, which is dry at the time of the building, the musk rat raises his house. The house is a seemingly careless, roughly rounded heap of grass roots, lung water -weeds, lily roots and stems. and mud, with. a few sticks woven into the foundation. The site is cunningly chosen, so that the roots and stents of alders or other trees give it secure anchorage; and the whole structure, for all its ap- parent looseness, is so well com- pacted as to be secure against the sweep of the spring freshets. About six feet in diameter at the base, it rises about the same 'distance from the foundation, a rude, sedge -thatch- ed dam, of which something more than three feet inay show itself above the ice. • To the unobservant eye the musk- rat house in the alders might look like a mass of drift in which the rank water -grass had taken root. But within the clumsy pit is a shape- ly, small, warm chamber, lined with the softest grasses. From one side of this chamber the burrow slants down to another and' much larger chamber,, the floor of which, at high water, may be partly flooded. From this chamber lead dawn two burrows one, the main passage, opening frank- ly in the channel of the creek, and the other, longer and more devious, -terminating in a narrow and cun- ningly concealed exit, behind a sub- merged root. This passage is little used, and is intended chiefly as a way of escape in case of an extreme emergency, such as, for example, the invasion of a particularly enterpris- ing mink by way of the main water gate. 'Phe muskrat is no match for the snake -swift, bloodthirsty mink, ex- cept in the ono accomplishment of holding his breath under water; and a mink must bo 'very ravenous, or quite mad with the blood -lust, to dare the deep water -gate and the long subaqueous passage to the Xouskrat's citadel nt'seasons of aver- age high water. In times of drought however, when the entrance is near- ly uncovered and the water goes but a little way up the dark tunnels, the mink will often glide in, slaughter the garrison,, and occupy the well- built citadel, L S, HEADACHE, CAT Relieved In 10 Mb—autos by Dr, Agnow'o Catarrhal Powder.

Will Give Color to' the Girl Who Practises it Daily. To take a mile run daily, as a man in training would do it,, is the best way in the world for a girl to get color into her cheeks and sparkle in- to her eyes. "If girls would turn their atten- tion to running, they would field it the most exhilarating pastime in the world, as well as one: of the most healthful„" says an authority an athletics. "Besides adding roses to the cheeks and inches to the lungs, running is the stout woman's best resource, "Let her take a brisk run daily, beginning with a few yards, and getting up to a mile or thereabouts and she will not need to resort 'to a diet—that na.ost melancholy and de- pressing method of reducing avoirdu- pois." If a run cannot be taken daily out of doors, the running track found at every weld,, equipped gymnasium should be utilized. A run out of doors„ however,' is the ideal practice, for fresh air is one of the important factors of the sport. It is fresh air that gives a girl bowitclxing color in her cheeks and purifies every drop of blood in her body. After a little practice a girl can run half a mile . without stopping. Then let her pause for a two -minute rest before doing the next half mile. Ren briskly, but not at top speed. ;Without question, one of the best exercises in the world for girls is running. It contributes for ono thing that elasticity without which grace is impossible, and spurs every bodily function to its appropriate duty. Other things being equal, 'the girl who knows how to run, and does run, will outclass in general attrac- tiveness the girl who does not. Sae will carry herself more gracefully. Her pose will be easy; she will be better sot up, and generally better able to take care of herself in society or out of it. GOOD NEWS FOR NIS OLD HOME, VERNON BROMLEY CURED BY DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS.

THE MISSION OF MONEY. Effect of Improving People From the Inside and Outside. Canon Barnett, warden of Toynbee Hall,, one of the many Englishmen who have worked for the betterment of the people who live in the grin - nest and most unlovely part 'of Lon- don, was once asked what he would do "if lie were a millionaire" "I would not subscribe to give men that which, by energy or self-con- trol, they could one day gain for themselves," he replied. "I would spend my money on objects which would create in them a desire for fulness of life—for the knowledge and energy which hitherto have been the portion of the few." That is, Canon Barnett, with his million, would improve man from the inside by giving to every seeker after knowledge the best and most sympathetic teaching by which to 'develop his intellectual and artistic faculties. After that,, with the now and higher sense of dignity that had been given him mann would do the rest fox himself. To emphasize this point of im- proving people from the inside, the story of a Scotch nobleman may be. told. He had a sense of the duties of a man in his position, arid as soon as he came into his largo estate set about providing better housing for his people, who were living in an abominable way, huddled together like animals in one -roomed cottages. Ho befit a row of pretty, comfor- table cottages. In a little time each family was living,, as before in one room and letting the rest of the house. That is the efi'oct of lin proving people from the outside. , Tho children of the man who made a specialty of sowing wild oats be- fore his marriage will harvest tux abundant crop Of advice.
