The proposed amendment to the supreme

IS not appreciated at its real merit. For
veneers he considers birch nearly, and he
can almost say quite, as good as cherry.

slippers for the children.

In one of the cantons of Switzerland
the public educational authorities cele-
brate the approach of the wet season by
providing each of their young scholars
with pair of slippers, which the chill
dren bring with them in the morning
and wear indoors during the day, while
their damp boots are being dried at the
fire. Thus the chances of their catching
cold are reduced to a minimum, and the
result is, of course. greater comfort for
the youngsters, much relief from anxiety
on the part of their parents, and, it may
be assumed, a corresponding regularity
in school attendance. Some day poor
old England may see its way to taking q
hint from little Switzerland.-Lo

Some writers have claimed that the
I.se OF quinine establishes what is termed
q quinine habit, or a morbid desire for
the drug. the qualification of which is
essential to the normal well being of the
victim When the large consumption of
quinine IS considered. however. and the
fact that no well authenticated cases ap-
pear in the voluminous literature de
Sciptive of the nature and action of this
drug. the ahsurdity of the claim will be
apparent, and the following case which
Druggists Circular will be regarded
rather as an interesting anomaly than as
proof that the quinine habit practically
has any existence in fact:
"a few yers ago, while clerking in a
small town IN North Missouri, there was
. young drygoods merchant located next
door to the store In which / was en-
I.ioyed- This young man would come into
the store from four to SIX times daily, walk
back to where the quini1e bottle was
kept Gt was purPOsely placed IN con-
venient pOsition). and vita the point of
= spatula would put probably two or
three grains upon his tongue, hand us a
nickel and walk out. without taking any
thing TO aIIay its bitter taste. This was
a daily occurrence during the time that
/ remained there NEARLY three years.. In
rUPly to query from me he said that he
took the quinine because he liked the
effects of 1t, and unless he did so his
mind became confused, and he was
scarcely able to properly attend to his
business duties.''
Though many III considered articles
have appeared IN print since cocaine has
bean so widely employed, claiming that
tic use of this drug established physi-
cally and mentally demoralizing habit,
the testimony of the most competent
Observers and the investigation of so
s;aIied cases of cocaine habit have clearly
s..oErn that cocaine habit in the sense
taat we speak of the opium or alcohol
habit does not exist With the excep-
ton of few drugs, among which We
May mention opium. alcohol, choral and

Tobacco blindness, it is said, is becom-
ing acommon affection. AT present there
are several persons under treatment for
it at one London hospital. 1t first takes
the form of color blindness, the sufferers,
who have smoked themselves into this
condition, being quite unable to distin-
guish the color of piece of red cloth

victim loses his eyesight altogether. To,

Dr. Nansen.s Exploring Expe.,.,on.

News has come of the Greenland ex-
petition under Dr. Nansen. It appears
that he and his six companions landed
on the east coast OF Greenland on the
18th ultimo, in latitude. Go deSs. 80 min.

Arctic circle. and will imply q Journey
Of some 900 miles across to the west
coast The tyEO LaPlanders who accom-
panied Norlenskjoid in his second unsuc-
cessfui attempt to cross Greenland lin n
higher latitude and from the west s;de)
managed to advance eastward some 40
miles and attained height of over ). 500
feet, whence they got . view Of what ap-
Peared to be an endless snow field.
Should Dr. Nansens party reac!i this
snow field, their CHANCES Of success will
be great, as they ara all famous snowshoe
walkers, and have frequently crossed the
Norwegian mountains in the depth of
winter. They could not have landed In
Greenland at better time: for they
escape the short and thoroughly dis
agreeable sub-arctlc summer. What has
been described rs an endless snow field Is
no doubt the water shed of the innum-
cradle Greenland glacier streams, the
examinations of which form such 4 strik-
ing feature of the Greenland coast.
Should this prove to be the case, the
ultimate discovery of vast inland sea or

HOW Forests Arc DESTROYED.

a good authority on our American
forests writes that he has seen over ST.
O0O, 900 worth of lumber burned by the
careless fire of gang of railroad work
men. Such fires are constantly raging
somewhere, and the enormous loss can
hardly be estimated. BE urges that only
by making such carelessness criminal
can there be put an end to It. What we
should learn is to preserve the forests we
have by proper legislation, by educating
and appointing foresters of intelligence
to care for them; by publishing informa-
ton on the subject, such as farmers and
timhermen can easily understand and

me Amount of water Power.

The American Statistical association
publishes some interesting figures on the
amount of water power employed in the
United States. In 1880 there was total
water power equal to 1,225,37 horse
power used for manufacturing purposes,
this being $50 per cent. of the total
power thus employed in the states. The
annual value of the water power thus
utilized is set down at 1924, 900, 600. The
New England states alone use 34.5 per
cent. of the whole water power of the
country, and altogether the Atlantic
states use over three-fourths of the whole.
