DRUG FIENDS USING HEROIN Polson It More Deadly Than Morphine or Cocaine, and Physicians Give Warning. The abuse of heroin began about three years ago. It soon became the most dangerous recourse of the slaves of cocaine, morphine and opium. The use of heroin was not confined to the 1 underworld. The drug spread its tentacles until they were fastened upon all walks of life. Veers of the drug "sniff it" and the effect is as rapid as cocaine. The natural form of the drug is pure white crystals, but it is frequently gold in tablet and powder form. Chemically, it is known as heroin ! „ hydrochloride. It is the hydrochloride I | ester of morphine. An ester is a whol- ' I ly organic compound produced by the ■ action of various acids. its crystals II resemble those of sugar rather than those of chalk. In medicine it is used 1 to produce sleep. It has frequently : “ ! been prescribed as a sedative suitable ■ for people constitutionally unfitted for i morphine. k | I.ike morphine, heroin first excites • and in a measure exhilarates That * 1 stage is succeeded by one of sleep and I i then by profound depression. There II is always a danger of an overdose. ' Morphine users can increase the dose I i as their system craves the drug. Vsers 3 I of cocaine can saturate their systems i 0 ‘ with cocaine. Not so with heroin. I There is always danger that if the - , I dose is increased day by day, death c | will follow quickly. c 1 In its outward effect on the victim. I : heroin has much the same effect as its mother, morphine. The face of the e user becomes drawn and sallow and the pupils of the eyes are reduced to , the size of pinheads. Cocaine, on the contrary, flushes the face and gives . the eyes a glassy effect. " Heroin sets about the wrecking of ‘ the mind and body with fiendish pere sistenee and cruelty. The character - and will power of the user is broken; c the iamgination becomes distorted and the victim is soon ripe for any crime. The bodily tissues waste away and ! vitality sinks to a low ebb. The crav--1 ing for the drug soon becomes more - powerful and insistent than the crav- ' ing for morphine, cocaine or opium. He Has Thirty Children. At St. German du Bois, Paris, there . lives a man, Jean Pierre Bossu, who ' has been the father of 30 children. He lives in a miserable thatched cottage which he built himself of mud and wood. It is now a crazy affair, and sways in the wind and leaks when it rains. It contains one room only. ■ and it is in this room that he has brought op his family. Os the first marriage there were 17 boys and one girl, by his second wife he became the father of seven more boys and five girls. Today there are only ten living. ■ The children have frequently slept, 1 to the number of seven or eight, in I the same room with their parents, on ' a bed composed jf four planks. Their father is now seventy-one, and of a very cheerful disposition. His wages have never exceeded 7s per week, which he earns by cultivating vegetables. The state makes him a payment of ten francs a year per child for having raised a family of more than three children up to the age of sixteen. His brother Claude has also been married twice, and has a family of 23. Naming a Japanese Baby. Often the naming of a Japanese baby is a simple matter, the father or grandfather speaking before the com pany the name of some famous man. I if the child is a boy, or of some favorite flower, if it is a girl. For girls, Hana, flower: Yuki, snow, Ai. love, are the favorites of parents with a poetical strain. The sterner country folk choose for their daughters, Matsu, pine; Take, bamboo (the bamboo joints are exact; hence the exactness of virtue); Ume, plum, since the plum bears both cold , I and snow bravely. For boys, Ichiro, first boy; Toshio, smart; Iwao, strong, ■ and Isamu, brave, are very popular. ( Where belief is strong in the power i of a name, the family, in holiday dress, often assembles in a large room. Each writes a name upon a slip of paper and lays it reverently before the house j shrine. From the group a very young child is chosen and led before this shrine, and the fate of the name is deelded by the small hand which reaches out for a slip. Though it is a festive occasion, the selection of a name is! made with a seriousness worthy the election of a bishop. Many believe devoutly that this rite influences the baby's entire future, and therefore the one whose slip i» chosen incurs from j the moment of choice great responsibility for the child's welfare. Eggs Best “Grouch" Cure. Fish may make you brainy, but it's sggs that make you amiable, at least; if we can believe the claims made fcr ■ this particular article of food by a 1 German scientist of note. "Cranks, grouches, nervous wrecks | of all kinds, should eat all the eggs I they can possibly digest," says Prof. ! Stiegletz. "Eggs are the best thing in the world for those whose ill tempers make themselves and every one around them uncomfortable. They 1 should be soft boiled preferably and ' eaten four times a day for four weeks ! on a stretch. Then the diet should • be stopped and not commenced again for four or even six weeks.” And though no mention is made of whether Eastern eggs in particular have any more healthful and cheerful ! effect than ordinary eggs taken at orj dinary times, isn’t it always true that I “the better the day, the better the I deed?" I.

NOTED MURDERS OF RECORD Arsenic the Favorite Polson of Criminals in Earlier Centuries, Says English Lecturer. Some notorious cases of murder by arsenic were recalled by Dr. F. M. ' Sandwith, Gresham professor of physics, in the third of his series of lec- 1 tures on drugs at the City of London ! school. Ag; lm romance hung over the very.l word "arsenic” he said, and it hud been associated with cruel tragedies in olden as well us in our own times. Opium was the favorite drug of suicides and arsenic of murderers. Thu I reason in the ease of the suicide was probably because opium was less painful and more rapid in its effect than ' arsenic. In almost every instance arsenic had been the agent employed by those human fiends who. having successfully disposed of. ope victim without arousing suspicion, appeared to devel- . op a lust for murder, which was not satisfied until the very number of their victims stood as overwhelming evidence against them. The lecturer refer?, d to the case of ! the Marchioness de Brinvllliers, who lived in the time of Louis XIV. and studied the effects of arsenical poisoning by giving poison?d sweets to the poor in the hospitals. She afterward poisoned her father and two brothers. .1 Another woman at the beginning of the eighteenth century poisoned more < than tied persons,' while a third in ! more modern times disposed of 15, ’Deluding her three children, two husbands, and an intended third. Henrietta Robinson was convicted i in 18X8 of the murdertof her son by arsenic, and when the bodies of eight other members of her family and servants were exhumed the sume poi- : son was found in all of them but two. Twenty-four cases of poison by means of fly papers were recorded.. Homicidal poisoning by arsenic was declining to a great extent owing to ; the rigid restrictions imposed on the sale of poisons and the puolicity in ; the newspapers of murder cases. Such publicity gave a person of criminal tendency a wholesale fear of detection and a sense of Insecurity in : the face of the growing science of toxicology, which was bringing to the light of positive knowledge that which in the past could only boa matter of 1 conjecture or suspicion. In an earlier part of the lecture Dr. Sandwith referred to the beneficial es- 1 sects of the three modern arsenical 1 remedies—atoxyl, soamin. and salvarsan. Right Living for Health. Physical ailments ordinarily are due to some previous misuse of the bodily or mental equipment. The Law of com uoasation works by inflicting diseased conditions on one who does not live right, who fails to obey the rules of health, of sanitation and similar means for preventing sickness. Because conservation of the human race has become an important consideration, the remarks of a writer in Health Culture on this subject are pertinent. "The science of prevention has already reached a stage with many persons where they are in control of their habits and appetites, 30 or 40 years in 1 advance of the age at which their parents or grandparents died of Bright’s disease, hardening of the arteries, apoplexy, diabetes, cancer, etc., in order to prevent themselves from being * overtaken by these diseases at the same age, prevention being based upon the tendency of children to inherit the habits of their parents. "Instead of people waiting until after they are sick for doctors to dose' them with drugs, many are living in the open air, eating better food and employing their brains to secure health, efficiency and long life. "Carrying the idea of prevention and I conservation still farther, many alert parents are beginning to rear their children from babyhood in habits, , both mental and physical in character ; w ith which to overcome the conditions | that caused disease and death among I their ancestors." Bootmaker’s Complaint. Do you know why American men's , feet always look ugly?” said a bootmaker. "No? Well, then. I’ll tell i you. "American men's feet look ugly be- : cause they have their shoes polished ■ while wearing them—an Iniquitous practice followed nowhere else in the world. "Everywhere else men on retiring 1 slip, trees into their shoes and set the shoes outside their bedroom doors. A servant takes them and polishes them, and after the dampness of their polI ishing they rest for some hours in the ! tree, and this does to them what a hot ’ iron doe.i to a suit of clothes—it press-<-s them, so to speak, taking out all the ugly bumps and wrinkles, making : them like new. "But we Americans drop into an armchair on a high brass stand. Our shoes are polished on our feet, 'i'he ugly linss of wear instead of being moved by the proeeta are confirmed, rubbed in. And that is why our feet always look ugly—as ugly as our j clothes would look If we never sent them to the tailor to be pressed." China’s Memorial Arches. The p’ai-lous, or memorial arches of China, says Frederick McCormick In the Na: io- '1 Geographic Magazine, . rival the pagodas in grace, beauty and nutnbsrs. Many of them are erected to commemorate the devotion of virtuous widows who refused to remarry. The fabled phoenix, which never changes its mate, is prominent in the I decorations of these arches.
