OPIUM-EATERS.

Among literary men the habit is by no means an uncommon one. Thomas DeQuincey leads the list. Ke began eating opium to relieve his dyspepsia, and in eight years attained a maximum for the 'day of 8,000 drops, since his friend Sinclair saw him toss off a wine glass of laudanum as though it had been a glass of water. The poet and essayist, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, was a great opium-eater. When a student at Cambridge he was affected with a disease of the knees, and, to relieve his pain, found solace in laudanum. His first dose was twenty drops, and in four years he was able to use a pint in three days and a half. Lamartine, the French historian, poet and statesman, was confirmed in the habit, and Robert Hall, who began life when a lad of six by taking opium to alleviate pain resulting from a spinal disease, became so much of an expert that he could take a thousand drops of laudanum a day. John Randolph, of Roanoke, who boasted of a descent from Pocahontas, the witty and sarcastic Virginian, was a great lover of opium, and continually carried the fascinating little pellets with him, convenient for use. It is to be noted in speaking of the quantity of opium taken that it varies within certain limits, and may not exceed the maximum. The smallest quantities which can be taken continuously without any marked effect or reaction are variable with the individual. When the morphine-eater has reached the maximum dose he is aware of it, and instinctively keeps on this side of it, so that one seldom hears of cases of acute poisoning in morphia. There are individuals who never exceed 0.005 grammes daily, and have similar symptoms to those who consume 2.25 grammes.’ More than 3.5 grammes may not be taken daily continuously. This appears to be the limit, even in the most • pronounced cases— Cincinnati Enquirer.

SINGULAR EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL

A farmer, 4.8 years of age, whose parents were eccentric and wfeak-minded, and who had been long noted for his retiring disposition, spent his leisure hours in reading and was very secluded in his habits, began to drink whisky at the age of 39, but so sparingly that its effects were never noticed by persons associated with him, saving that he was perhaps a shade more solitary and reserved than ever as the years passed by. One day in the hurry of harvest time he broke off work abruptly, dressed himself in his Sunday best, and drove off to make a call on an unmarried lady, • the daughter of a neighbor, explaining the unwonted event to the young woman by saying that he was going to be more social in future. He was reserved but courteous in his manner, and lucid and sensible in his conversation. During the next week he called in similar fashion upon several young ladies in the neighborhood, talking pleasantly and promising to repeat the visits. These experiences were perfect blanks of consciousness to him, and, on awakening from sleep the next morning, while he could recall what took place in the field up to the moment when he started for the housed he had no memory whatever of having gone thither, dressed or made the calls, though he appeared perfectly conscious and rational to those upon whom the calls were made. Nor had he the least recollection of returning home, unharnessing the horse and going to bed. This state of affairs continued for several ySars, until while in one of his trances he broke his leg and died of the gangrene consequent upon unskillful surgery.—New York Times. *» A boy with a top tried to spin it, But his hand got a thorn right in it, The sport didn’t spoil For St. Jacobs Oil, Cured his hurt in less than a minit.

LONGEVITY OF WILD ANIMALS.

Two hippopotamuses have recently died in the London Zoological Garden. One was twenty-seven years in confinement, the other thirty, but, of course, their actual age can never be known. Indeed, it is difficult to tell whether the Wild animal lives as long as the domestic one. At one time the test was the length of time required to reach maturity, which, it was assumed, bore a certain proportion to .the life of the creature. But this does not hold good with even the larger mammalia, for a horse, assuming it to be mature at 4 years, will live to five or six “maturities,” while man, presuming him to be mature at 20, rarely, reaches four. Dogs enjoy a greater proportion of longevity

than mankind, a life is proverbially tenacious. It cannot be proved that even wild animals have their lives shortened by confinement. Indeed, it is reasonable to suppose that the care given to animals in menageries prolongs their existence. The civilized man certainly lives longer than the savage, who is exposed to the hardships and vicissitudes of a rough out-door existence.

Our Young Men.

Many of our young men axe suffering from a state of mental exhaustion, which renders them unfit for business or study. Injurious habits that weaken their constitutions are clung to with a pertinacity that is appalling. Young man, stop! let health ana perfect manhood be at least one of your chief aims in life. If you already begin to suffer from disturbing dreams, etc., make haste to strengthen the weak portions of your body by using that friend of temperance and long life, the strengthener of every part of the body. Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla It will quickly restore your health and keep you from falling into the rapacious clutches of some advertising quack doctor. Be wise in time. Ask your druggist to get it for you.

HORRIBLETREATMENT OF LUNATICS.

In the investigation of the abuses in the Tewksbury (Mass.) alms-house, one of the witnesses testified that he found in a cell in the attic an insane woman lying upon some straw perfectly naked. She was i eported to be violent and to tear her clothes. She was so much emaciated as to weigh but little more than forty pounds. .The attendants that carried her food declared that she ate the whole of it. Dudley carried her the food himself, and the assistant took it into the room. His wife clothed her, and in five or six weeks they had the woman down in the sitting-room, so changed that even her husband did not know her. Other witnesses testified to the barbarities and cruelties practiced in the institution.

Putting Down Rebellion.

When the stomach rebels against food and obstinately refuses to digests sufficient aliment to keep the body well nourished, it can only be compelled to resume its natural duties by a wholesome tonic. The powerful alkaloids so often administered for this purpose are not wholesome. They are, for the most part, deadly poisons, apd even when taken in very small quantities react violently upon the nervous system. Not so Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. This salutary combidtition of vegetable juices, embra riug the finest invigorants and alteratives which the botanical kingdom affords, operates mildly,- steadily and beneficially upon the digestive, secretive and discharging organs. In dyspepsia, bilious affections, nervous complaints, chills and fever, chronic constipation, bodi'.y weakness, mental depression, languor, sleeplessness, and the various disabilities incident to old age and premature decay, its effects are so wonderful that to ba comprehended they must be witnessed or experienced. Some one pinned a card of “Warranted Fresh” to the cloak of a Chicago woman, and she walked the streets for two hours with it

Corns! Corns! Coms! Every one suffering front painful corns will be glaa to learn that there is a new and painlesp remedy discovered by which the very worst class of corns may be removed entirely, in a short time and without pain. Putnam’s Painless Corn Extractor has already been used by thousands, and each person who has given it a trial becomes anxious to recommend it to others. It is the only sure, prompt and painless cure for coms known. Putnam’s Painless Com Extractor is sold everywhere. Wholesale, Lord, Stoutenburgh & Co., Chicago. Theoretical reformers begin their great work with others, but the practical reformer begins with himself. *Women that have been pronounced incurable by the best physicians have been completely cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “Mv wife,” remarked Fitzboodle, “is fairly crazy over the fashions. She’s got the delirium trimming.” *#*“A fair outside is but a poor substitute for inward worth.” Good health inwardly, of the bowels, liver and kidneys, is sure to secure a fair outside, the glow of health on the cheek and vigor in the frame. For this use Kidney-Wort and nothing else. It is all very well to tell us that “sweet are the uses of adversity,” but we would rather be spoiled the other way. Rock Hill, 8. C.—Rev. J. 8. White says: “I used Brown’s Iron Bitt rs for general clebility. It restored me to strength and vigor.” Fat boy: “No, you can not raise chickens from egg plants; you might as well try to raise calves from cow-catcher.-.” New Bern, N. B.—Rev. G. W. Offley savs: *T have taken Brown’s Iron Bitters and consider it one of the best medicines known.” Anew book is titled “Short Sayings of Great Men.” When are we to have “Great Sayings Short Men?” “Brown’s Bronchial Troches” are exellent for the relief of Hoarseness or Bore Throat.

WOMEN AS EDITORS.

Philadelphia Press: Considering that so many more men than women are in a position to display their abilities, the number of successful women is by comparison scarcely to be counted small. As to the question of ability to manage a newspaper, Miss Booth, who is both managing editor and leading editorial writer of Harper’s Bazar, and who ha.< made that journal the brilliant success which it is, has clearly demonstrated that it is not altogether a matter of sex. Very few men are capable of managing a great newspaper, most journalists admitting that it is one of the most difficult positions which an editor can fill, a post which requires tact, talent and training, as well as executive ability in the highest degree.

G. IF. AND HIS HATCHXT. The favorite story in the primer from which the children of Venezuela learn to read is an enticing version of the yarn about the late George Washington and his hatchet.
