The Poison Habit.

But under all circumstances make firm
stand against the poison habit. 1t is best
to call things by their right names. The
effect upon the animal economy of every
stimulant is strictly that of a poiGon, and
every poison may become stimulant.
There is no bane in the South American
swamps, no virulent compound in the North
American drug stores-chemistry knows
no deadliest poison-whose gradual and
persistent obtrusion on the human organism
will not create al unnatural craving after a
repetition of the lethal dose, morbid ap-
potency in every way analogous to the
hankering of the topper after his favorite
tipple. Swallow tablespoonful of lauda-
mum or few grains Of arsenious acid every
night. At first your physical conscience
protests by every means in It's power;
nausea, grlpes, spasms and nervous head
ache warn you again and again; the strug-
giles of the digestive organs against the fell
intr lder conVulse your whole system. But
YOU continue the dose, and nature, true to
her highest law to preserve life at any price,
finally adapts herself to an abnormal con-
dltion-adapts the poison at whatever cost
OF health, strength and happiness Your
body becomes an opium machine, an ar
senic mill, a physiological engine moved by
poison, and performing Its functions only
under the spur of the unnatural stimulus.
But bye and-bye the jaded system fails to
respond to the spur, your strength gives
way, and alarmed at the symptoms of
rapid delirium, you resolve to remedy the
evil by removing the cause. You try to
renounce stimulation, and rely once more
on the unaided strength Of the Wis vitae.
But that strength is almost exhausted. The
oil that should have fed the flame of life
has been wasted on a health consuming
fire. Before you can regain strength and
happiness your system must readapt itself
TO the normal condition, and the difficulty
OF that Encouragement will be preportioned
to the degree of the present disarrange-
ment; the further you. have strayed from
nature the longer it will take you to retrace
your steps.

Nice FOR BRRAKFAsT.-A nice dish
for breakfast is made by taking bits Of
ham that have been left from previous
meals, cutting them in small pieces,
and heating them with two or three
eggs stirred In. Pieces of beef may
also be used, and enjoyed If properly
cooked. Chop them fine, season with
butter, pepper and salt, and serve hot.
The excellence or these dishes depends
upon the way In which you cook and
season them. Anything which is
warmed over In order to be palatable
must be nicely prepared.

States, he says, lose from $4,000 70
$4,000 from this disease alone. Neg
lect and allowing the ANIMALS TO look

to anything Ii fifteen to twenty mil
