Cocaine as a Cure-AIl.

The insanity of Chicago physician,
due to the immoderate use of cocaine.
will probably strengthen the popular
prejudice against the use of this power
full drug. This effect will be salutary
beyond question, be the reasons which
induce it never so ignorantly insufficient.
That cocaine is an extremely eflicacious
therapeutic agent, and its discovery one
of the most important of the recent his
tory of medicine, we make no doubt.
The current medical journals are full Of
authoritive testimony as to this. At the
same time, even those physicians who
have used it most successfully will not
make the claim that the drag can yet
take its place in pharmacopeia with 9TH
ers of equal energy about which every
thing is known and concerning which
experimentation is at an end At pres
emit the remedy is yet in its infancy, and
its full scientific characterization is still
incomplete. This being the case and its
remarkable potency being considered.

julius Caesar.

All, Julius, mastcr-spirit Of thy age,
And master-spirit wheresoe'er thou art,
What dreamings now thy wandering thoughts
engage,
What hopes OF high ambition lift thy hearth
In that dim darkness Of unknown extent
Beyond the boundaries OF this earthly ken,
Upon what quest is now thy spirit bent
Amidst the jostling souls of lesser meni -
What visions c9iRs-Hhat CHASTITY memories
rise -
From Wondering Rome's imperial decay
What whispcrings from the grave In which she
lies
Forgetful of her glory's ancient day,
Have not those dreams-that once seemed
worth the care
And SORROWS Of a life-clean faded hence,
Or do their phantom fabrics haunt thee there
And make for thee thy souls sole recon-
pensei
No soul can change his nature with his state
And be himself The changeless seal Is set
Once great, the soul Is still forever great,
And If thou art-then art thou mighty yet.

No noble Roman left. Thy pagan brow
Would scorn Italias crown. To front thy mind
No foe would rise There are no Caesars now.

There is lesson for color in that

plant. and it would be well if everybody
would read it Alright. There is no rea-
son why the sunshiniest of tints should
be left TO the artists. although every
body cannot hope to be so fortunate in
producing effects as one fair Boston
painter, who, with q tangle Of golden

Got What They Wanted.

But the experience Of a young man
well known in social circles during a
visit to Paris is about as funny rs they
make them. 1t seems party of young
Americans, including this adventurous
Californian and notable joker from
New York, found themselves late one
night at ball in Paris. The wine had
been flowing freely, and the town was
rather on the riot. The Americans
were having lots of fun, when in pass.
ing a group of Frenchmen the New
Yorker stepped accidentally on Paris.
ian toe, The Partisan tapped him gent,
ly on the shoulder.
"You trod on my toe, sir.
''Did I3 / didn't see any toe"
you are insulting, sir. Here is my
cardn
The American took the card, looked
at it, then very solcmnly put his hand in
his pocket and handed over another,
1t was the Californian's card, which he
happened to have. Next day principal
and second called at the rooms of the
Californian. He received them blandly.
You are not the man who trod on
my toe" said the Frcnchman.
"Oh, yes, l am. You are mistaken. :"
mo, no. 1t was some other gentle
man."
''Do You mean to tell me l liep"
asked the Californian. II tell YOU !

ton"
"And you shall have it."
- The other American, anticipating fun,
had dropped in.
VERY well, sir. When and wherep"
Here and now" said the Califor-
MAN.
This is against all rules"
Il believe ] am the challenged party"
"You are, but"
"And ! can choose any weapons"
Certainly, but"
"All right Here you are"
And he brought out pair of boxing
gloves.
"Put 'em on and We'll have it out
here
The Frenchmen could not but accept.
The door was locked and their honor
was satisfied by both principal and sec
ond being knocked about so fearfully
that they kept their beds for week
But they had their revenge, for they
put the police on the Americans track
and worried them SO that they got out
of Paris.-Sdn Francisco Chronicle.

Of this kind every physician win know
how to overcome, il there be any neces-
sity for using the drug, and 1t certainly
ought not to be used except under pro-
fessional supervision.
1t is, nevertheless, already widely 50
used, if we may believe the reports Of
accident due to its ignorant employ
ment which the newspapers here and
there throughout the country publish
from time to time. Cocaine is proba-
bly, having the same career that other
narcotics have always run before they
finally took up their place as remedies.
We no longer believe in the elixir OF
life or the philosophers stone, but a
large part of tho public still seem to
regard the pharmacopeia as likely at
any moment to be enriched by some
paradisiacal drug whose potency for
pleasure shall be infinite and unac-
companied by any corresponding pain.
1t is in some degree still popular
superstition that the law of action and
reaction, applicable in all other cases,
fails entirely when confronted with a
drug. And this in spite of the fact, at
tested by prominent physician some
years ago, that the only branch of med
icine in which enormous strides have
not Been made within the last half CEN
fury is therapeutics. Yet quack mcdi-
cines for incurable diseases were never
more successful, and the ordinary drug
clerk is regarded by many persons in
mcasurably the same way that the In
dams regard their medicine men, and
his prescriptions for chronic complaints
as the African savage regards his fetch.
What is most noteworthy, however,
in connection with this popular faith in
the miraculous efficacy of drugs is the
extent to which they arc rcsortcd to by
people who need absolutely nothing so
much as to abstain from them. With
this class the different narcotics are, Of
course, in greatest demand. The pheno-
mcnon is moral rather than physical.
The numbers who resort to tobacco and
alcohol in excess testify by no means
exclusively to diseased stomachs and
disordered nervous systems. but to a
desire, almost acute enough to be called
passion, to escape from moral sur
roundings and change the conditions OF
moral sensation. The humdrum Of
life, not to speak of its ''intolcrable bur-
dcns" and painful necessities, makes
the imaginative temperament, which is
to be found as often in. the howell as in
the palace, uncontrollably restless and
defiant. Who would not eat opium
from time to time if he could be sure OF
perfect immunity from the pains and
perils of itP Only the sane, the wise
and the healthy who form. after all,
o small part Of any community. The
history of choral as popular narcotic
must be familiar to every one, The
avidity with which it was seized upon
by that large majority which is unhappy
cr unhealthy, or both, received check
only when its deleterious effects became
known. Cocaine is manifesty destined
to the same career. 1t will be public
blessing if reports of its abuse, however
sensational and unscicntife, lead people
10 recallthe great fact of human life,
namely that only by spiritual means can
spiritual Ills be eircunrented or dinlin-
ished. Rlsiasielpb ta Press. e

Among the many stories Lincoln used to re-
late was the following: Trudging along q
lonely road one morning on my way to the
county seat, Judge -- overlook me with his
wagon and invited me to seat.
We had not gone far before the wagon began
to wobble. Said +, "Judge, Think your coach
man has taken drop too much"
Putting his head out Of the window, the
judgeshouted: sswhy, you Internal scoundrel,
you are drunkin
Turning round with great gravity, the coach
man said: .Be dad but that's the frs right

II people knew the facts they would be sur
prised to learn how many people reel In the
streets who never "drink drop.n They are
the victims Of sleeplessness, Of drowsy days
OF apoplectic tendencies, whose blood Is set on
fire by uric acid. Some day they will reel no
more-they will drop dead, just because they
haven't the moral courage to defy useless pro-
fessional attendance, and by use Of the won
derful Warmers safe cure neutralize the uric
acid in the system and thus get rid of the
drunkenness In the blood.n-The American
