A California Woman Eats Thirty Quails
i'm Thirty Days.

1T has been many times vigorously al
legged that no person could perform the
seemingly simple gastronomic feat of eat
ing thirty quails in thirty successive days.
What there is about a quail that makes
the average human stomach decline its
too frequent visitat:ons no one but an an
alytical chemist, with leaning toward
anatomy, can decide. The quail has been
esteemed great delicacy since the chill
dren of Israel passed through the desert
and had their daily feast of the fOwl-nOt
singly, but in shOwers-and the sacred
cbrOnicler fails to record that they were
received with repugnancc; and they were
in the wilderness month and ten days.
A banquet without quails, somewhere in
the list of dishes, has been almost esteem
ed failure. Then, why its indigesti-
bility. Wherefore its biliousness. This
feat, hitherto deemed impossible, has
been recently performed by a lady resi-
dent of Oakland, who, in spirit of ban
ter, and on a wager of $500 offered by a
humorous SON. law, and 800 guaran-
teed by facetiOus son, undertook the
task, not thinking it all difficult. She
decided to take the birds broilcd, and for
breakfast. All went on well for some
days, and 1t was not until the end of two
weeks that the matutinal quail began to
be repugnant, breakfast revolving and
life burden. A plucky, unyielding will
came to the lady's aid, and she persc-
vcred, and through series of daily .recur-
ring qualms, with frequent fits OF dizzi-
ness, a little tendency to Obscurity of
vision, she finished the last bird, amid
the approval,of slightly alarmed house.
hold. But she says she does not care to
renew the attempt-0h, nO!-evcn for the
sake of cmulating the Israelites, who
lived On them forty days and made no
sign. She Is now In perfect health, and
her bank account is increased by the
money SO hardly earned.-San Francisco

The vast abuses of narcotics In modern
society is becoming serious evil. There
il no denying the fact that in countries
where no administrative control of chem.
lists shops exists, as in England and
America, the public have too easy access
to such drugs. The report of the Medical
Officer To the Privy Council ON the use of
laudanum in the industrial districts Of
England, for the purpose of keeping in.
fants quiet, startled it's readers some years
ago. 1t is not long since weekly p0liti-
cal contemporary boldly commended that
chloral was to be found in the work boxes
and baskets of nearly every lady in the
West End, Ito calm her nerves." Choral
punch had become an institution in
the drinking saloons of New York scarce
ly . year after its introduction to medical
practice. Now we hear from sober, or
derby and pa&ernally ruled Germany, that
there is such thing a. morphia disease
spreading among its population. The
easy application of simultaneous iniec.
lions, left to the patients themselves or
their attendant by indulgent practitioners,
has proved SO tempting to persons afFlict-
ed with bodily or mental pain that they
have taken to habitually practicing them,
and, of course, as in the case of the con.
tinued and uncontrolled internal use of
