SLAVES OF QUiNINE.

The Growing Abuse of That Drug rs Re-
ported by an Uptown Apothecnry.
"Have you noticed the growing use
of quinine?" a druggist in the vicinity
of the Fifth Avenue Hotel asked last
night. At the same moment he bowed
and smiled to a tall, administered man
who strollcd in.
Just watch this customer" he said.
The man was very thin and cadaver-
Gus looking. Without saying a word
he walked up to the soda fountain, and
the boy drew out a pill box, poured
three pills into the palm Of the custom
er's hand, set a glass of mineral water
in front OF him, and tursed to the next
customer. The tall man swallowed the
pills. drank the Water, turned on his
heel, and stalked away with another
pleasant nod to the proprietor.
That costs him a dollar and forty
cents a week" said the proprietor,
''and before long it will kill him. He
started to take one tive-grain pill every
night about six months ago; he now
takes fifteen grains a night before he
goes home, so that it will brace
him up for his dinner. Within d
month he will be taking twenty grains
a night. OF course he takes it at home
besides what he gets here. I've gone
out of my way three or four times to
explain to him that he had a good deal
better drink rum, even if he is adeacon
in church, but his answer is a simple
one; he says quinine makes him feel
cheerful and strong, and it has nj i'll
effects. He tried stopping it once, and
caved in; hence he wants to know why
he should stop. You can't combat
such reasoning as that"
Have you many such regular Gus
tomers?"
well, to be accurate, we have only
three men who come in every day and
pay at the end OF the week. but there
are many others who take their quinino
as regularly as most drinking folks
take their whisky. 1t is certainly q
great temptation to weakly organized
and frail people. All they have to 10
Is to swallow a pill or two, and they
feel robust, wide awake and cheerful.
The practice grows on them continu-
ally, and it seems to be spreading, tor

growing. A good proportion OF the
custom comes from women who grow
fatigued or weary while shopping, ana

lay brother did his best to entertain

transgressed the rules by talking so
much. But, shades of good st. An

cases The Artist returned to his wife
ecstatic. Such pictures as he had
seen! Oh, if one could always live with
these Trappists there would be no lack
OF subjects. After going through the
dormitories and other portions of the;
building, he had gone out into the
fields and watched the brothers at their,
work of reaping and gathering in the
harvest, for they do all their own
work, both outdoor and in,
even to making their own
clothes. No female element is al
lowed to enter their lives. As the
Artist watched the picturesque groups
of men performing their silent labor,
still in the garb of their order,
what effects, tones, values and keys of
color We're evolved in his mind, as he
noted the sun strike on the rich golden
brown costume of the lay brothers,
forming vivid contrasts to the more
sombre hue of those in full orders!
And how strange it seemed, all this
active life going on round about him
without a sound being uttered. to see,
them suddenly fall on their knees
while the father whose duty it was
would perform the office. For every
thing is lone by rule. and whatevert the
occupation, it must be suspended when
the bell sounds for these religious ex-
e%rcises. Everything. was so antomaton
like that it almost appeared like en-
chantment. Father Alban, the Su-
perior, at length rallied our absorbed
friend, bv asking him if he would not
like to join their order. Yes, if you
will take me in the capacity of special
artist" he laughingly replied. "Well,
come and live with us a month or two,

ly responded to on the part of
the Artist, but met with indignant
chances from his wife. The worthy
father, who was a bit of a wag, quiet

proceeded to give her husband a list

clause provoked downright rebellion.

A TRAPPIsT MONASTERY.

The building is situated on an en-
inence that commands the whole of the
beautiful lake and the mountains from
which it derives its name. The mon
astery itself is a large square building,
solidly built of wood ona stone founda-
ton, built at the expense of the Domin-
ion Government, which also gives an
annual grant to help support the in
stitution. This order has only been
established in Canada about two years.
They were driven out of France dur
ing the late political troubles there,
and forbidden ever to return. They
being thus cast upon the world, natur-
ally sought protection in the Province
OF Quebec, that great stronghold Of
Romanism. 1t is pretty generally
known that these monks are the most
rigorous of any order. They are also of
very ancient origin: they were founded
in the sixth century by the Abbot of La
Trappe; they were reformed in the
year 1150, again in 1000.
The driver. who performed the Office
of guide and interpreter, soon made
the attendant in charge understand
that the lady and gentleman wished to
inspect the institution. He was an

ing strictly forbidden unless by per-
mission OF the Father Superior of the
monastery. However. he went to COM
municate with that gentleman. who
soon came forward and urbanely well
coined his guests in good English with
a French accent. He was a man about
six feet in height. OF good build. He

particularly attractive, owing to a
very genial expression and somewhat
humorous twinkle in his eye. His
head was clearly shaved. all but a
short. close fringe of hair about an
inch long all the way round. He was
dressed in a long robe of cream-colored
serge that reached down to his ankles,
displaying lowe cut shoes, and stock
ings Of the same color as his robe.
Over this robe he wore another gar
ment, a sort of overdress without
sleeves, composed of black material of
a finer grade than the serge. This
latter had a sort of cowl or hood at
tachcd to it.
He was very polite to the visitors.
and informed them that while he would
be delighted to show the gentleman
all over the establishment, it was
strictly against all usage to allow a
lady the same privilege. Personally,
he was entirely at madame's service;
but-with a true Partisan shrug of the
shoulders-madame knows we must
obey orders. So madame was fain to
sit in the reception-room. while her
husband explored the monastery, and
learned the manners and customs of
its inmates; but tha lady did not keep

and he could not resist the temptation Of
taking a turn. So he stopped opposite the
musical italian and tossed a gold coin
eheerily on the green surface of the hurdy-
gurdy. The astonished foreigner stopped
playing, grasped the coin, pocketed II, re-
moved his hat, grunted out some voluble
Tuscan thanks, and resumed his music.

to himself and produced another coin. He
tossed it again upon the board, from which

"Ah, luck's against me" he remarked, as
he sent a third gold coin to CLEAN for a

rapidly disappeared in the Italians pocket

way without wearing out the patience Of
