The Opium Habit in America.

DR.. W. A. Hammond's paper before New York
~ State Medical Association.
In 1850 the total quantity Of opium
consumed in the United States was
about 10000 pounds. In 1880 it had
increased to $685. 5O pounds In 1868
it is estimated that there were from 3d.
900 to 100000 victims of the opium
habit in this country now they number
over 100000. The growth of the habit
has been rapid within the last few years,
owing to the invention Of the hypoder-
mic syringe, which has become fav.

ments than men. From the time of the
publication Of De Qnincey's Confessions
Of an English Opium Eater, in 1921,
until within few years, the medical
faculty had overlooked or ignored the
serious consequences of the opium habit,
and the people generally had come to
look upon it as q com paratively harm.

attention, The cure Of the habit is q
sudden reduction in the quantity OF
opium INDUCED in, not an immediate
and total cessation of its use, which
would be injurious, but reduction in
quantity covering a week or two weeks,
and accompanied with stimulants OF a

A Wonderful Clock.

A correspondent Of the Boston Her
aid, who does not take the trouble to
60 into details, contributes this sur
prising information '"Perhaps the
most wonderful timepiece ever heard of
is a clock described by Hindoo Rajah
as belonging to a native princess of
Upper India. In front of the clock
disk was gong, swung on poles, and
near it was pile of artificial limbs.
The pile was made up of the full num-
ber Of parts of twelve perfect bodies,
but all lay heaped together in
seeming confusion. Whenever the
hands of the clock indicated the hour i,
out from the pile crawled just the num-
Der of parts to form the frame of one
man, part joining itself to part with
quick metallic click; and. when COM
pleted, the figure sprang up, seized a
small mallet, and, walking up to the
gong, struck l, the first hour. When
2 o'clock came, two men rose up and
did likewise; and so through all the
hours of the day, the number of figures
being tho same as the number of the
hour, till at noon and midnight the en-
tire heap sprang up, and, marching to
the gong, struck one after another,
each blow, making twelve in all, and
then fell to pieces again.

A Scrap of Tartar HISTORY.

From the Pittsburg Chronicle.
The remarkable workmanship of the
Tartars is proverbial. Their favorite
weapon is long, curved cimstar, quite
different from that Of the Turks. It is
made OF the finest steel, richly alleged
with silver, and sword becomes an
heirloom in 2 family and decends to the
first born so long as the family exis is.
When the last represent ative OF a race
dies his sword, which may have come
down to him from hundred genera
tons, is broken and buried with him.
The blades of the weapon, which are
beaten out on an onyx stone anvil in the
ancient Mogul city Of Taztchintzy (the
Holy place., are very thin, and the WON
derful feats performed with them are
astonishing. Once when Robo, the
cousin of the Great Mogul, was caught
in rebellion, bis execution was order
ed. The most skillful workmanship Of
the empire was provided for the behead-
ing, and the Great Mogul and his court
assembled to see 1t. For a second the
keen Tartar blade flashed in the sun
light and then descended upon the
bare neck of Robo, who stood upright
to receive the stroke. The sharp steel
passed through the vertebre. muscles
and organs of the neck, but so swift was
the blow and so keen the blade thai the
head did not fall but kept its exact
position and not vital organ was dis
turbed. In surprise the Great Mogul
exclaimed: "What, Robo, art thou not
8beheaded?" "My lord, I am" replied
Robo, "but SO long as I keep my bal
ance right my head will not fall off. "
The Great Mogul was so pleased with
the deftness of the executioner that he
ordered bandage to be tied on, and
Robo speedily recovered. He afterward
became a loyal subject, and was made
cashier, at the empire, because as the
Great Mogul remarked, "Hes knows
that if he keeps his balance right his
head will not come Off" It is one of
those curious scraps of history that are
often overlooked. ~7.+S-

Explosion.

Manufactured in Paris by
Englishmen.
Gen. WolseIey Telegraphs That Nothing
Has Been Heard From Gen.
Stewart.
Still Agitated inLondon.

LONDON, Jan. 27.-In some respects the
panic produced by Saturdays events has
really increased. Fears were entertained
yesterday that the dynamiters mediated an
attack upon the national arseuals and naval
stations, and they were placed under special
watch. At the Chatham dock ward the police
kept ahoat during the entire night. To-day
instructions were issued to put a stop to all
ingress at the tower, house of commons and
Westminster halls. Even members and
peers were refused admission. Entrance to
palace yard has been closed, all public doors
of the parliament buildings locked and bar
ricade has been thrown across the hall at the
top OF the stair case.
The injured are all reported improving.
Col. Maiendie is proceeding with the exami-
nation Of the banquetting hall and council
chamber in the white tower. The work of
removing the debris in the white tower was
completed this afternoon. The hole made
in the floor where the dynamite exploded is
ten feet long by five feet wide. The masonry
of the building was found to be practically
uniDjured, but much of the solid oak wood
work is torn or split The police are con-
WINGED that the arrest of Cunningham was
an important capture. They are certain he
took an active part in causing the explosion
at the tower. 1t is now ascertained that very
few of the rifles in the tower were rendered
useless. the damage being largely confined
10 the wooden stocks. During the clearing
away of the debris at the tower to-day, the
workmen found an umbrella and dress be-
longing to one of the injured visitors. Two
mpauies of troops and several detectives
were added to the guard at Buckingham
palace.

THREE CLAIMANTS,
A Triangular Suit for $4,000 Acres of
Land Located in Iowa.
Especial { ,rrespondence of the Globe.

Especial correspondence of the Globe
| WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Plumb,
for the senate public lands committee, has
substitute for bill which passed the house
| last June, referring the United States
| circuit court the settlement of the rival
claims of the United States, the state of Iowa
and the Sioux City & st. Paul railroad COM
pany to about S. 600 acres of land in Iowa.
The senate amendment is rather change
of form than of substance. Like the
house bill it refers the matter
to the United States circuit court for the
northern district of Iowa, and provides that,
| if Judgment shall be given for the United
States, parties who bought in good faith of
the railroad company, or who have settled as
homesteaders on the distributed tracts, shall
be left in possession.
In 1864 congress granted to the state of
Iowa, to aid in building railroad from Sioux
City TO the Minnesota state line, ten sections
per mile of road. In 1872 and 1873 the COM
pany built five ten mile sections, and six
miles over from the state line toward Sioux
City, but stopping twenty-six miles short of
it at Lemars, from which point to
Sioux City the McGregor Western rail-
road has line operated by the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul company. For the
five full sections of road built the Sioux City
800, 900 acres, but in some way, by inadvert-
euce, the house committee thinks the secre-
tary of the interior patented to the state for
the railroad 407, s79 acres, an excess of ST.
$40 acres over the amount named. The state
patented to the railroad company 322. 42l
acres, or 2,421 acres more than the amount
earned, and retained IS, 457 acres.
Last March the state legislature passed a
curious act, recognizing that the railroad
company had not completed the line as pro-
| iected; resuming the states right to all the
unearned portion of the grant, and recon-
veying the same to the United States, with
the proyiso that the act of relinqu shment
should not apply to lands in Dickinson and
O'Brien counties. Now, it happens that of
the IS, 457 acres above mentioned, 59,44O
acres are in these counties, so that,
after rsciting the rights of the government
to the whole $4,000 acres, the act only
relin quishes about q, 900 acres The house
and senate committees are unable to see why
the 60, 900 acres should be withheld from the
United States, and the Sioux City & st. Paul
company, in spite of the fact that 1t did not
complete the road, claims the whole $4,000
acres. The six miles built by the company
in addition to the five full sections would
give right to only $4,000 acres. The
twenty-six miles from Lemars to Sioux City
was not built under this grant at ALL
