FOOLISH WOMEN,

The Morphine Habit Spreading Among the
Female Population of France.
The deplorable habit Of using NOR
phine, not to relieve pain, but for the
picasurable sensation the narcotic pro-
duccs, seems to be spreading in France,
in spite of the warning note uttered by
medical men, and the terrible conse-
quences that must follow upon the use,
or rather abuse, of the drug. During
the hearing of a case in Macon rece Mt
ly, the facts that transpired corrobor-
ated the assertion made by doctors as
to the alarming tendency which pre-
walls. A chemist residing in that town
was prosecuted for selling NOR
phine without medical authori-
ty to number of persons,
among them being the wife of a doctor,
who, quite unknown to her husband,
consumed it daily, and in large quanti-
ties, by injecting it under the skin. In
the course of the trial several physicians
came forward to attest that the perni-
cious habit of morphine injections was
spreading greatly-especially among
women, to the destruction of theft
moral and physical health. One of
those witnesses-attached to a large
hospital at Macon-affirmed that more
than a dozen of the day nurses were
regularly addicted to the use of NOR
phine, in shape or another, and
habit with them had become a second
nature. 1t is, however, in Paris-and
especially in the fashionable world of
Paris-that, if all we hear be true.
morphine causes the most serious havoc
to mind and body.-London Telegraph.

The Faculty of Adaptation Displayed In

The Faculty of Adaptation Displayed in
the Building of Their Nests.
Prof. Grant Allen, speaking of swal-
lows, says that no other race has lived
in such close connection with man and
yet learned so little from his compan-
ionship. Still, they show some signs of
intelligence. In making the mud walls
of their nests, for instance, they allow
cachlayer to dry thoroughly before pro-
ceeding to top it by another course. In
acquiring the habit of building in CHM
neys, which has been carried to swal-
lows by the westward course of civiliza-
ton, they exhibit some faculty Of adap-
tatlon- AS a rule they place their nest
five or six feet below the top of the
chimney, to keep it out Of the way of
owls, not directly over the kitchen-ire,
but over an adjoining ilue. And it re-
quires some art to get down into the
shaft. The emergence of the young
swallows from this place is aremarkable
instance of intelligent action still way
ering on the brink of mere hardened in

Intellectual compromise between a flop
and a tlutter." Often they fail and
fall crushed to the hearth. Then, hay
ing reached the summit, it is some
time before they venture upon flight,
and they acquire the art only by de-
grees as it were. Mr.. Romanes has
collected a few yet more unequivocal
eases Of intelligence in swallows.
In one case q bell-wire, on which a
swallows nest partly rested, twice de-
molished it. Convinced that it was a
dangerous object, they constructed a
tunnel for the wire to pass through,
and were troubled by it no more. In
another case a pair of swallows were
molested by sparrows tryin ( to dispos-
sess them of their nesr. They there

home, so that, instead of opening by a
simple hole, it was carried on outward
in the form of a tunnel. Instances are
recorded where several swallows have
combined to drive away sparrows
which had robbed y pair of comrades
of their nest.-Popular Science Monthly.

A GALLO GENIUS,
How He Managed to Send His Fashion

length, but will hereafter admit pack.
ages of about twenty-seven inches, or
seventy ccntimeters in length. The
way the change came about is explained
in a circular just received at the post
officefrom the superintendent of foreign
mails. A French publisher, wishing to
send to his subscribers fashion plates
about seventy centimeters in length,
was told that they could not be received
in the foreign mail. Seeking to keep
his engagements with his patrons, how
ever, he cast about for some way to re-
lieve his difficulty, and knowing that
packages not exceeding forty-tive cent?
meters, or eighteen inches in length
would be received, hit upon the follow
ing eXpedient: By making a paper box
in the shape of acube, having each of
the lines of its squares Just forty-tye
centimctcrs in length he could place his
fashion plate roll within the box, the
!oll oeihS P4aceu GlaSonally touching
the bottom andtop Of the box. A great
number of paper boxes eighteen inches
square threatening to cram the French
mail bags to bursting, the Government
determined to take the seventy cent?
meters long rolls instead of the boxes.
asking the other countries in the union
to receive these rolls, until an inter

now sanctioned, permits the mailing of

younger General Skobelef had pro-
posed to Touloumine that he should tvy
to swim the Danube with his whole bri-
gade. The General alleged that it was
cmlnontly necessary to have cavalry on
the other SIDE Of the stream, and that it
was impossible to wait until the pom
toon bridge was constructed to get
the men over there. And mas
much as TouloGmine and Lewis
had frankly declined to make the at
tempt, for the excellent reason that the
entire brigade would most likely be
drowned, the Danube being at the pro-
posed point more than four kilometers
wide, SkobeloIt had begged them to
scare up q few volunteers and send
