A GREAT REMoRsE KILLER.
Two or Three Very Interesting Facts Con
eerninsr tho Morphine Habit.

Two or Three Very Interesting Facts Con-
cerning the Morphine Habit.
A year Or two ago was led into the in,
vestigation of this vice among the profess
sional women, and came across two or thrco
interesting facts that have not seen men
toned by the medical men who have written
on the use of the drug.
found that in most cases the habit had
been contracted, not as usually stated, in the
desire to escape physical pain, but in the en-
deavor to avoid mental troubles. Morphine,
like opium, its grosser parent, is a great re-
morse killer. 1t is temporary Lethe.
As rule, women will stand physical pain
with moro patience than man. But they
cannot stand conjunction of conscience and
the desolation of wrongdoing so we'll You
very often hear of men committing suicide
to escape the anguish of disease. You
seldom, il ever, hear of women. The un-
fortunates who plunge into the river are
haunted by another form of terror. They
want to get away from themselves. A
woman told me that she was never alone ex
cept when under the influence of morphine.
The physical effect of the drug is primarily
to deaden the volition. Itappears to remove
for while that awful ghost of consciousness
that is looking over our shoulders.
There are several women in the dramatic
profession who have been led into the morr
phine habit by the mere force of sympathetic
imitation. They heard that Miss So-and- So
took morphine, and SO they took it also.
This is phase of imbecility that, am glad
to say, is rare.
Not the least interesting of the numerous
results in character is the converting of the
subject into an unconscious inveterate and
persistent liar. A morphine girl will look
you in the eyes while under the influence Of
the drug, and swear by the most sacred
things that she has given up its use. It is
quite comprehensive to say that she will
wreck train with her dearest friends on
board to get the morphine when tho appe-
tito assails her. But it is difficult to under
stand that she win go out of her way to i'll
vent the most meaningless falsehoods. in
geniously framed, but purposeless except for
deception. Something of that same trait is
shown in the fasting girls.
There are some symptoms that always be-
tray the morphine girl to the practised eye.
She viii not look you sqnarely in the face
except when she is lying. Her lids droop,
fatal evidence of the loss of volition. She is
clammy, inconsecutive and dreamy
The first break is in her logic, generally a
weak spot with a woman She draws tho
most absurd conclusions, and then insists
that it Is you who have made the deduction.

twas on this day, just thirty years ago
anu all the land lay warm beneath the snow.
Snee! higher still the shadows softly stealN
They laid my darling in her narrow bed.
While upon its brink felt cold and dead
bearing sorrow which no time could heal:
lFor few moments with my weakness bear
scarce tonight can cross the snowy square.
inough must join you in your midnight peal3
Remember? remember it so well
Each tiny snowflake kissed her as it fell
Upon the lowy mound that stood alone:
FOR hours dumbly knelt, but could not pFav.
And then turned and Went my lonely way,
MISSING The hand that used to clasp my own
Missing the dear face ever at nv side;
l had but her in ali the world SO wide!
What wonder that my heart seemed turned To
stone2
That night the Ola Year died. Some one had said
That I-whose love lay still and dead
Should ring the birthday chime of the New
Year;
so from my loneliness rose and came
Would not my grief be everywhere the same?
All! you remember now. So full and clear
The joyous Chime flew on the frosty air
You wonder your laughter did not share;
How could you guess this was my wordless
prayer?
And that knew at last my God could hear.
Alone and still her grave lay far below,
Covered so softly by the quiet snow,
But far above she dwelt in whittier dress,
In brighter joy and purer loveliness!
And toward this home our happy peal arose:
What wonder could lift my eyes at last,
And, lifting them, the darkest hour seemed past;
I'm coming, friends; how dim the morn light
grows!

it over the show case. Phil took it and for
whole minute was silent Tears stood in his
kind eyes, and when he did speak his voice
trembled. All he could say was "Thank you,
little friends; thank you," and then the small
procession faced about and marched out.

than the union is doing for the United
States. Paul Bert was the son of peasant,
who taught him above all things hatred

young Bert was given an excellent educa-

He became celebrated as an original inves-

ing" attracted attention to him, as was to be
expected. In 1870 he turned his attention to
politics, and was elected to the chamber of
deputies. He devoted himself to the study
OF the school system of France, as it was
through it that he hoped to accomplish most
for the cause which was dear to his heart.

New Thought for the New Year,

The new year ought to mean new thought
il the old has been oppressive The new
years resolve has something of the divinity
in it, early and often as it is broken. Even
the resolve to break off some old habit is q
stride forward, step upward. Every re-
form, every upbuilding must have its origin
In new thought. A thought lies behind
every action.
Iii making new resolves, nothing is more
necessary than to cultivate the art of forget
ting. The reason some people arc chronically
wretched is because, if they had sorrow,
burdeR or disgrace, they are forever think
ing about it, and SO forever remaining con-
scious of it. They carry it in their mind,
which is really keeping it alive all the time.
Did they but know it, the world would soon
forget it it they would allow it to- If they
would throw it out of their mind and compel
it to stay out it would cease to exist No hu-
man soul ever grew upward who nnised his
former blunders, failures and sins in his
mind
Show can / forget my woes" says one.
"They inhabit my mind incessantly, and I
can't get a minutes respite from their tor
ture." Yes, you can. Bring into your mind
new, fresh, good thought and the old op-
pressive, soul destroying kind will leave, be-
cause it will not feel at home with the new.
When you light up ii room you don't first try
to. drive the dark out. You make q light
and, 10! the dark is gone. 1t cannot stay
where light is. 1t is the very same with de-
spondent and destructive thought-it leaves
when there are no dark corners in the mind
for it to lurk in,
Thought is something more than "airy
nothiugs of the brain" 1t is substance the
finest Substance in the universe, the invisible
meteor of mankind mentally and physically,
for it is behind every movement, every
action Prentice Milford says:
ITO learn to forget is as necessary i.sl use
full as to learn to remember. We t...i:.is of
many things every day which it would be
more profitable not to think of Mt all. To be
able & forget is to be able to drive away tic
msets force atough9 which Is injurin:; us,
and change it fer a farcc Tor order of thought
to beneitus. To-day thousands on thousands
never think of controlling the character of
their thought. They allow their minds to
Drift. They neyer say of thought that is
troubling them, Il won't think of it, I'm
consciously, then, they demand what works
them i'll, and their bottles are made sick by
the kind of thought which they allow their
minds to fasten on. An ugly on melancholy
mood of mind Is devil. Is con make ussick
lose us friends and lose us money!
So the resolves that abound on New Years
morning are wise and well. They are the be-
ginning of good action. They may fall into
ruins before the day Is out, but hayin, once
entered the mind they will come back again

IN MEMORIAM.

Old year is iead Pulseess and cold he lies
Wrapped in the purple of the midnight skies,
A crown of shlmmering stars upon his breast,
His earth reign DER Peace to his royal restl
The jeweled scepter of to-morrow's morn
BY new.crowned king will proudly be upborne;
Zen now, impatient, rose clad morning waits
To ope for New Year sun-barred golden gates.
And gayly on her way the fair morn drifts
To shower in flckle homage gracious gifts,
AS now she kisses Old Years pallid face,
That oft hath glowed beneath her fond embrace.
Poor. fallen year! pierced by Times cruel blade,
phantom wandering in the past's drear shade =
Thou soon wilt be; in long procession days
Will follow, weeping. chanting loud thy praise.
And laurel wreaths to twine thy empty skull.
The worlds hands eager, thoughtfully win Gull:
And where thou liest on thy snow palled bier
The coming age will drop regretful tear.
Then rest, thou royal Old Year; though the New
We welcome in with loyal hearts and true,
Still art thou dear to all. Rest Old Year, rest,
lay the rose of sweet remembrance on thy breast.
And though its colors fade, its crunbling heart
A perfume pure shall subtly e'er impart
Its sweetness to our senses Have no fear
Thou wilt not be forgotten, dear Old Year!
