patient would become exceedingly

When first used last fall it was put up
only by Merck, a German chemist, was
very scarce, and worth more than it's
weight in gold. 1t was made by a
secret process. American chemist, as
sooI as there was a demand for it, how
ever, began to experiment, and after
months of patient trial and the destruc-
ton of a large quantity of coca leaves,
have at last gwen n IN alkaloid as
good, and many think better, than
Merck's imported preparation. The
price, though it has been reduced some
what, is still exorbitant and has not
reached a normal basis. The demand
has increased beyond the supply 1t
will take probably two years to bring
cocaine to its proper position as a COM
mercial article. The demand for oca
leaves has been so great that the market
has been cleaned out of all these OF
good quality, and chemists will have to
wait until the plants grow to get their
material. The plants are raised in a
comparatively small section Of country,
but on account of the prospects of the
future, preparations are being made to
raise them on an extended scale"

Quantity for quantity, cocaine will

use / think cocaine tho cheaper.
While it may take six ounces of ether to
anasthetize a person, the same practi-
cal result can be attained with a few
drops Of a solution hat contains only
four per cent. of cocaine, this differ
ence in quantity makes the actual cost
for a given operation about the same,
and in time the advantage will be large

infancy of development, and it will Is

A practical detective can frequently
discern at a%glancethat q man ~isarogue.
The stamp of dishonestyonh his features,
or his. anxiety on being observed, tells
the story. Al remarkable illustration of
this fact was narrated by the. Boston
correspondent of the bingham Journal
q year or two ago. The detective YVES
Constable Derastus Clapp, the success
sor of "Oid Reed, a famous rogue
catcher of Boston half o century ago.
who was for forty years the terror Of
oviLdoers in and about the New Eng
land metropolis.
Clapp was a shrewd man and q most
excellent Judge of human nature. He
could tell a rogue as far off as he could
a black man.. and he never made mis-
takes. His "come along with me- was
imperative and admitted Of no argu-
ment..
An instance of his readiness In read
ing character occurred one morning In
the upper criminal court. Al case of
considerable interest was being tried,
and the gallery was crowded with spec
tators.
Two, or three reporters were sitting
neal the door, when Clapp, STOPPING
over, whispered,
Don't all look at once, but please
observe. that nice-looking man with the
white cravat, In the front middle seat
of the gallery"
We looked. "Now,n says Clapp,"I1l
bet thatI can set that man travelling out
of the courthouse, on the double quick
in less than, f~ve'minutes, nor will Ileave
the room or send him any message"
While we were wondering how the
feat was to be accomplished, the vet
eran quietly beckoned to officer Tallant,
and taking o pair off handcuffs,fr from his
pocket, directed that officers attention
DO tine party in the gallery andaHpar-
emily gave him same directions:
Tallant opened the. door and stepped
into the, entry, and ut the same instant
the man with the white crayat bottled
like lightning through the crowd to,tha
door and disappeared.
Gentleman, " remarked Clapp, /
never saw that man before, in my life.
1t illustrates the scripturai saving, The

Comparative longevity of Men
and Women.

The San Francisco Record says of the
relative longevity Of men and women
the following: Interesting resources
concerning the comparative longevity
Of men and women in Europe have re-
Gently been made by the director of the
bureau of statistics at Vienna. From
these it appears that about a third more
ONE than men reach advanced age.
Women oftener lead quiet, regular lives.
They have few bad habits, are
less exposed to strong passion and
excitement. 1t appears from the
gathered statistics of the wo1ld,
says the Modern age. that women
have a greater tenacity of life than men.
Nature worships the female in all its
varieties. Among insects the male
perishes at q relatively early period In
plants the SENATE blossoms die earliest,
and are produced in the weaker limbs.
Female quadrupeds have more endu-
rance than males. In the human race,
despite the intellectual and physical
strength of man, the woman endures
longest, and will bear pain to which the
strongest man succumbs. Zymotic dis
eases are more fatal to males, and more
male children die than females. Dever-
ga asserts that the proportion dying
suddenly is about 100 women to $50
men; 1880 men in the United States
in 1870 committed suicide to 285 wom-
en-. Intemperance, apoplexy, govt,
hydrooephalus, affections of the heart
or liver, scrofula, paralysis, are far
more fatal to males than females.
PulmonayS consumption, on the
other hand, Il more deadly to the latter,
which argues that we ought to give the
girls of our Families all the outdoor ex-
ercise that they need. Females in cities
are more prone to consumption than in
the country. All old countries not dis
turbed by emigration, have a majority
of females in the population. In royal
families the statistics show more daugh-
tiers than sons. The Hebrew women
is exceptionally long-liyed, while the
| colored man is exceptionally short lived.
DIR. Hough remarks that there are from
two to six per cent more males born
than females, vet there is more than
six per cent excess of females In the
| living population. The rush and worry OF
the average business man in this country
is apt to make him prematurely old,
unless he takes j~udiici0us recreation,
| The females are to q great extent ex-
| empt from this -straining about
business cares, which may, in a degree,
| account for their superior vitality"
There can be no doubt but that in the
last sentence of the above there lies
the kernel Of the true difference in the
United States between the longevity Of
men and women in this country. More
than one close observer noticed that
last summer and fall many men died
from the over wrought pressure brought
to bear upon them who promised under
more favorable circumstances to live
for many years.

The Sacred Rite That Binds Many
Eeigning Families

st Louis Globe-Democrat
If any two of the leading states of Europe
were TO go to war with each other it would
be virtually a war of relatives. for the
relgning families of the continent and of
England are so thoroughly intermarried
that the fight would be all in the family.
though, unfortunately, it could not be kept
there. For instance, the emperor of Aus
tria IS married to daughter of the Duke
MaXimillian OF Bavaria, while one of his
brothers Is married to a daughter of the
former king OF Naples, and a cousin is the
wife of the king of Spain. Besides these
there are twenty-siX other grand dukes and
ducheSSeS, who are married in almost every
court In Europe. The royal family of Den
mark Is also widely connected, the heir an
parent TO the throne being mar
ried to the daughter of the king
of Sweden and Norway, while the
Princess Alexandra is the wife of the prince
of Wales, the third child is king of Greece,
and has married Russian grand duchess,
the fourth is now the empress of Russia.
and the fifth is married to the English duke
of Cumberland. The German imperial
family Is large but not widely married.
The heir to the throne is married to Prin-
cess Victoria of England, and most of the
rest are married into German noble families.
The royal family of England is extensively
married. The Princess Victoria is to be
empress of Germany as stated. The prince
OF Wales has Danish princess for a wife.
Prince Alfred, the duke of Edinburgh, is
married to the daughter of the car, Prin-
cess Helena is married to Prince Christian
OF Denmark, and Prince Arthur to Princess
Louise of Prussia. There are besides quite
number of princeSSeS and princes who
have married and have been given in mar
riage among the royal families of Ger
many. The mates of the imperial family
of Russia have been generally found in
Germany, though, as already stated, the
empress Is Dane and the sister of the
princess of Wales, and the duke of Edin-
burgh has taken Russian princess to wife.
1t will thus be seen that, no matter what
wars and combinations of wars break out
relatives will be found fighting against each
tther just as vigorously as if they were to-
lal strangers. 1t is said that one of the
the most powerful influences for peace here
Oately, both in Russia and in England. have
been the two Danish ladies, one of whom
shares the throne of Russia, the other be-
ing the wife of the princess of Wales. The
story is pretty, but nothing more. 1t is not
at all likely that when the two nations are
ready for war they will forbear because
their royal families chance to be related.
The influence of relatives has often been
strong enough to bring on war, but sell
dom has it been able to secure peace.
