looking m an passed slowly by the open
window while walking on the corridor,
he continued: "There is one of the
ministers now. He has been here for
two months, and is pretty well cured
now. He has used whisky excessively
for years, and is supported here by
friends"
"Do you think that you effect perma-
nept curesP"
"In many cases we do, but there are
also many relapses. fla man has real,
thorough desire never to drink again, he
will not do so after treatment here Tor a
sufficient length of time"
"How long does it take to tone man
man up so that he is reasonably safe
against liquorP"
"All the way from two weeks to three
months. We have had some to stop
longer, as they had plenty of means and
liked the quiet and seclusion of the
place. We have many patients who
come here as they would to n hospital,
just for temporary treatment, and they
rather expect to drink again when they
leave"
do you ever allow patients any
stimulantsP"
IF they need it, and they generally
do. A bad case may have whisky
given him daily for week or more, but
the amount is generally decreased. BY
proper nourishing food, by rest and by
special medicines the desire or need of
alcohol disappears. We try to keep the
patient interested and amused, and for
that purpose have n library, billiard
room and various other amusements. {"
Do you ever have female patientsP"
No, we don't take them, and never
made but one exception to the rule"
How was thatP"
"Well, she is here now.IlShe is n
woman of wealth, and lives in St. Louis
county. She is reputed to be the
wealthiest woman in the county. She
is over fifty years old, and one of the
hardest drinkers / ever knew, She has
been in all the asylums and hospitals in
the country, but all to no purpose. She
is nearly insane with alcohol all the
time. l refused to receive her, but hor
friends brought her out in u carriage and
just left her. She has been here two
days, but is raving yet. She has taken
no food, for nothing will stay an instant
on her stomach except whisky. She is
wretched object, and is in the room
back of us now.
Can she be curedP"
"She probably never will be. She is
very far gone and won't live long.
Probably she has no real idea to rU
form. ST. Louis Dispatch.

A Partisan Celebrity.

One of the celebrities of the Paris
maj kets Is woman who keeps n vege-

woman, Annette Drevon by name, WAS
formerly cantiniere TO the Thirty-second

companied through the campaigns of
Africa and Italy and during the war
with Germany. OF the seven or eight
female members of the Legion of Honor
she is the only one who received the
distinction for au act OF valor upon the
field of battle, and she was decorated
after the battle of Magenta for rescuin @
the regimental colOrs from two Austrian
soldiers who had captured them. Dur
ing the war with Germany she was with
the Thirty-second regiment in Metz,
and upon the surrender of that fortress
she was sent off to Germany with the
survivors. just outside Metz Bavar-
ian soldier insulted her. and she pulled
out her revolver and shot him through
the heart. For this she was condemned
TO death and would have been shot but
for the intervention of Prince Frederick
Charles, who, hearing that a woman
was to be executed, made inquiries into
the case, the result of them being that
Annette Drevon was set at liberty. She
