During an entire sehool-year thousands
of teachers have beenEtrying to make a
pleasure of duty, but when vacation
comes they should try tc make q duty OF
pleasure and recreation: a change Of
dietiis good for both body and mind, a
little judicious irregularity conducive to
health, and a change of habits, diet,
hours, and surroundings, essential TO-
happiness Our Saxon and Puritan an;
cestors considered pleasure. of satanic
origin. They applied themselves with
grim earnestness to the work of the
world, rarely giving themselves up to
harmless and hearty enjoyment, but we
are learning better wisdom. There IS
more Joy on earth to-day than ever be-.
fore, because there is more knowledge Of
what we need in order to grow "healthy,
wealthy and wise.n The world is clean.
er, life is securer, locomotion cheaper and
more rapid, and food more abundant.
For these reasons enjoyment is more gen.
eral, and for the same reasons this sum-
mer vacation should be filled with genu-
inc recreation and pleasure. IF teachers
are not re:created for q new year, it will
be their own fault. Give burdens to the
wind, let nature have her way, and live
more like the flowers and grass, which
exist for the use Of man, yet while they
are preparing, find time to grow fragrant
and beautiful. Teachers Institute.

New York Opium Joints.

New YORK, July 2.-The death of
man in Chinese opium joint in this city
yesterday suggests the prevalence of this
terrible habit. 1t is not confined to the
frequenters of these filthy dens, of which
Police Superintendent Murray has prom.
ised to rid the city, but many victims of
the habit, in its various forms of smok.
ing, eating and hypodermic injection,
are to be found in the very best society
of New York. No one knows the extent
of the evil; it cannot be expressed in
statistics as drunkenness is. 1t can be
carried on in secret for many years with
out even ones nearest friends being
aware of the deadly habit till too late to-
arrest its progress. Every physician has
on bis list of patients anumberof opium
cases. The victims say they are being
treated for "nervous troubleI" in fact;
they are under treatment for the opium
habit. There are several Hhomes" in
this city, under the direction of:physi.
clans who make specially of the dis
ease, where men and women are sent by
their friends to be cured of the habit.
This is an evil that is destroying more
women in America than the public has
any conception Of The wife of prom
inent publisher in this city is said to be a
hopeless case. Incidents without num-
Der are related by physicians, without
names, of course, to show how wide
spread is the opium habit. They give
but little hope ofscure. Once lot the;
horrible appetite fasten itself on the VIC
tim, and it is rare, indeed, that he can
shake it off. Let him enter one of these
"homes," and undsr long and careful
treatment and nursing he will regain his
health, and apparently lose all desire for
theadrug osDutagain insintothe
world and mingle id its affairs, but when
the first touch Of pain racks the nerves
the temptation to resort to the drug again
is generally irresistible. 1t is 9 fact that

has had wide experience in the treat

under no circumstances to acquaint the

Poisonous Pickles. /.

b The following statements which were
published in the. New York Times q few
weeks ago afford some interesting read.
ing:
lyn held conference on Friday last
with the men who are engaged in picking
cucumbers in that city. He discovered,
pit is said, that nearlyall Of them colored
their pickles; with aFsolution of copper.
He gave them warning, and then issu-
ed an order forbidding the sale in Brook
.lyn Of pickles. colored in this way
This shows the extent to which the
+coloripp matter is used. The week after
the conference was held a little girl who
lived in Brooklyn was fatally poisoned
by eating one of these pickles.
+ -. An santopsy established The acause OF
deathsbeyond 8 doIbt!Ns Moreover, analy-
ais proved that; apart ofthepickle which
the child had not eaten contained enough
of the poison to kill o man"
This shows the dangerous character OF
the poison employed to give the pickles
their bright green color. Continuing,
the Tines sayg.of the manufacturers
ftsIt;has recently sbeensstated that they
find their sbestk market nathe : South.
Perhaps the commissioner hoped by
means of: his recent order to con6ne their
operations to Southern markets"
The Southern householder who desires
to profit by the lesson taught in these
paragraphs should avoid the purchase Of
pz;cklss that are. bright green IN color. All
such are poisonous, whether manufuac.
tured in Brooklyn or elsewhere.
