IINOURABLE MUG HABITS, JNTEHVIEW WITH DE. FORBES WINSLOW. 'Results of Inquiries as to the Pro- gress of the Habit in England. }â-  ' I Public iiUoiitioii has recently been drawn to the drug liubit by cases in the courts. fSonio time ugo a man and woman were placed in the docli together. Tlioir condition of nerv- ous dislivsH was pitiable, and they implored the nnigistrale to allow !them to have mori>liia. 'i'lieir sulTer- ings were so acute that the request iwas eventually agreed to, and the inrmu'diato lesult was umrvellous. Their misery and dejection disappear- ed, and, fui- a time at least, they Bcc-med perfectly restored. More recently a man charged with dishon- est dealing told the magistrate that he was a victim to cocaine, and while under the influence of the drug did not know what haiipened. In- quiries show that the vice is much more common that is generally im- agined. Naturally, it is intended to lie a secret sin, but the victim of tlie habit quickly becomes mentally and physically demoralized to an extent which renders tlie services of the doc- tor imi)eriitive. (hi this hiibject Dr. Forbes Winslow dpeoks witli the authority of one who has made a close study of the di.sea.se for many years. To a re- porter of the London L>aily News he Entered into the matter at .some length. and during the interview quoted from a number of works which ho 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 are upward of three millions of opium eaters, and the number is gradually increasing. In one year the value of Ujiium which was. sent into England WAS OVnS £4tX>,0(X). One curious thing in reference to the drug is that it takes hold of the in- dividual absolutely; it degenerates him, and makes him quite unlit for the ordinary duties of life. The lirst symptoms are feelings of content and siigiit e.vcilement. lollowed by laugh- ter of an involuntary nature. At the first stage the smoker has feel- ings of d(dight, while the tempera- ture is increased. Circumstances which happened long ago present themsehes in all their originality, and the future appears bright. As the habit inciea.ses this feeling of exaltation is followed by dejiression. At first the complexion, and particul- arly the eyes, present a brilliant op- pcarance, but afterward the face be* comes intensely imle, and generally inscnsiliility supervenes." "Do these conditions apply also to those who are addicted to cocaine?" "Yes, entirely. When I was in New York, some time ago, I spent a good deal of time in the Chinese quarter, and it was a most ordinary thing to sec lOurojiean women there, who had become fascinated by tie habit, hanging out of the windows. They had become its victims to such an extent that they were incapable of leaving the quarter. Many of them were hulie;:. "Does the drug habit assume .seri- ous iiroijortions here in ICngland? ' "Yes, it is a very common thing, cliiedy among ladies. Usually it is tal<en in the beginning to allay pain. Without doubt a large amount of laudanum is consumed by the upper classes in conjunction with alcohol. It is a hard and fast rule that a dii'somaniac i.s also addicted to the morphia habit, but not vice versa. "You mean that a diiisomaniac who is deprived of diink would try to get drugs, hut that a victim of the drug l-.abil does not care about alcohol?" "IO.\a(tly." "Is the habit increasing in this •country?" "Very much. As long ago as 1872 no loss than it.ie.ail pounds of opium were imported into JOtigland, and if the inViulgence was meaauicd by this standard the decline and fall of the Social system might be conlidently predicted." ••WHAT ABOUT THK IiiI'I''ECTS?" "Well, they are ninny. As 1 have already stated, in the early stages the dnig proihices beautiful feeling.s and \isions. The feelings (if the eat- er arc not merely iileasurable; he experiunces great delight and brilli- ant fr,«icies which transcend all real and healthy impressions. Without doubt many iminlers have done line work under the influence of opium. "At first only a small cpmiitity is taVen, but ns the fnsrinatioii takes hold of the victim the m/v of the dose is increased, and among the most fre<|Uent effects are hallucinat- ions of hearing. The idea of being in communication with Satan i;; most common in these cases. Rut ^eventually the victim becomes de- graded in mind, physically demoraliz- ed and mentally diseased. In some asylums in America Hit per cent, of the patients were opium eaters. Tliere ia no doubt also that it stimulates to crime. Fret|Uont1y it happens that the victims of drugs will steal things when there is no inducement to do BO. In Singapore 80 per cent, of thnse confined in the House of Cor- j'ectlon were npiiim smokers, and the oRences of whic-h they were guilty were nearly all against property." "And the cure?" "The usual method taken hy dor- tofs is to reduce the amount of th* Sunlight Soap will not burn the nap off woolens nor the surface off linens.

The victim dejirived of tV.e drug is often in a stale of ninniu, and witliout relief would frequently lose his reason. It is a well-recognized fact by all the leading authorities that inasmuch as inebriety can he dealt with by sug- gestion, so the same applies to the drug habit. Tliat is the only cfTec- tive treatment of what is really an incurable disea.so." "How do these people manage to get hold of the drugs?" "They make all sorts of excu.ses. Of course, they have to get a doc- tor's order, hut they reveal very great cunning and resourcefulness in securing their ends." HOOD NEWS FOR HIS OLE HOME. VEMTON BEOMLEY CTJEED BY DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS. For Years He Was Crippled ty Rheumatism and Sciatica â€" Dodd's Kidney Pills Made Him a New Man. Morri.stown, N.Y., Oct. 26.â€" (Speci- al). â€" Vernon Bromley, now of this place, but formerly of Trenton. Ont., relates an e.xperience that will prove of great interest to his old friends in Canada. "I have been a great sufferer from Rheumatism and .Sciatica for years," Mr. Bromley states. "The citizens of Trenton will remember what a cripple I was. I coulJ neither work or lie flown, the pain was so great. "Heading of cures by Podcl's Kid- ney Tills, linully led me to try them and from the second box I began to feel relief. 1 continued to use them till 1 had taken twelve bo.xes, when I was completely cured. "Dodd's Ki'ney Pills have made a new man of me." Hheiimafisni and kindred diseases are caused by uric acid in the blood. Jf the Kidneys are sound they will take all the uric acid out of the blood.

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 eliccks and si)arkle in- to her eyes. "If girls would turn their atten- tion to running, tl.ey would find it the most exliilarnlinp pastime in the world, us well as one of the most liealthful," says an authority tn athletics. "Bohides adding roses to t)ie cheeks and inches to the lungs, iiiiinliig is the stout woman's best resource. "Let her take a l)ri.sk run daily, beginning with a few yards, and getting up to a mile or thereabouts and s)ie will not need to resort to a diet â€" that most meluncholy and de- pressing method of reducing; avoirdu- pois." If a run cannot bo taken daily out o( door.i, the running track found at every well equijiped gymnusium should ho uti!i/cil. A run out of doors, however, is the ideal practice, for fresh air is one of the important f:iclors of the sport. It is fresh air that gives a girl bewitching color in her cheeks and puiilies every drop of blood in her body. After a little jirnctice a giil can run half a mile without stopping. Then let her pause for a two-ntiiiute rest before doing the next hnlf itnle. Kun biiskly, but not at top speed. Without question, one of tho best exeici.=es in the world for girls is rumdng. It contributes for one thing that elasticity witb.out wl.iih grace is hiipossible. and spurs every bodily function to Its appropriate duty. Other things Ijeing equal, the girl who knows how to run, ar.'d iloos run, will oulcln.«;s in general ntliiu- tiveness the giil who dees not. She will carry herfeif more gracefully. Her pose will lie easy; she will be better set up, and general l.v better able to take care of herself in society or out of it. THE MISSION OF MONEY. Effect of Iniproving People From the Inside and Outside. Canon Harnett, wartlen of Toynbee irnll, one of the miinv Knglishnien who have worked for the bc'ttermeul of the people who live in tho grim- most and most unlovely part of Lon- don, Was once asked whot ho would do "if he were n millionaire" ? "I would not subscribe to pive men that which, by energy or self-con- Minard't Liniment Cuies Cslds, e!c, trol, they could one day gain for themselves," ho replied. "I would spend my money on objects which would create In them a desire for fulness of lifeâ€" for the knowledge and energy which hitherto have been the portion of tho few." That Is, Canon Harnett, with his million, would Improve man from tho inside by giving to everj- seeker after knowledge the best and most hymj)athetlc teaching by which to develoj) his Intellectual and artistic faculties. After that, with the new and higher sense of dignity that had been given him man would do tho rest for him.self. To emphasize this point of im- proving people from the inside, the sloiy of a Scotch nobleman may be told. He had a sense of the duties of a man in his position, and as soon as he came into his large estates set about providing better housing for his people, who were living in an abominable way, huddled together like animals in one-roomed cottages. He built a row of jiretty, 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 effect of im- proving people from the outside. CURIOUS OLD ENGLISH LAW. It is interesting to recall in con- nection with railway accidents that only a few years back any instru- ment which by accident was the im- mediate cause of human life became in Kngiish law "deodand" â€" that is, became foifeit to the Crown, to bo devoted to pious purposes. Tliis law applies to locomotives, but in course of time coroners' juries, instead of claiming the forfeit, inflicted a fine. So recently as tlie year 1838 a loco- motive on the Liverpool and Man- chester line, which, by exploding, caused the death of its engineer and fireman, was fined i>2t>, whilethe fol- lowing year another engine on the same line was lined iil,40(). SHIPS OF THE WORLD. The shipp'ing of the world is said to consist of 20,943 stenm.<}hit)s and sailing vessels, representing a ton- nage of 33,643,131. The 29.943 are nuide up of 17,761 steamers and 12,182 sailing vessels, with tonnages of 27,183,365 and 6,459,760 resjiect- Ivcly. Great Britain owns 16,CK)6,- 371 tons, the United States coming second with 3,611,953 tons.

Among tho curiosities recently nc- (piired by the departn'.ent of Egyp- tian and A.ssyrian antiquities in the British Museum is an ostrich egg pierced for suspension and covered with traces of a painted design, pro- bably of a predynastic period. Ac- cording to the experts of the depart- ment, this egg is certainly nearly six thousand years old, as the do- sign was made not later than B. C 4000. 'I'he egg of the ostrich Is said to have possessed some religious significance even in the predynastic jierlod. $100 Reward, $100 Tl'irc is iiuj'T IMtarrh in this section or t.he uountry llwin nil other diseases put tojtetluT. nrirl until the last few years was <!Ji>|)o^o<l to he inciirahli'.
