THE South Sea islanders in many cases

cigar Stubs for Charitv.

There have long existed in Germany and
elsewhere societies for collecting cigar
ends-the tips cut of to permit of suction
on lighting, and the parts left when the
smoker dare not proceed further out of
mercy to his mustache. 1t is customary to
have boxes for preserving the remnants on
the tables of hotel smoking-rooms, as well
as in private houses. They are collected at
given times and sold to the manufacturers,
who make snuff of them, or cut them up
after kindly sleeping for smoking MKT
ures. Their price goes to orphan institu-
tions or other charities. Now the news
comes that an organization of the kind and
that on grand scale, has just been started
in Sweden. The Queen Is president, and
young ladies and gentlemen throughoutthe
country are members. Fathers and brothers
and sweethearts are to be prayed not to
throw away cigar ends. These are to be
gathered from the streets. The money to
be got from the product will nourlsh and
educate five hundred children. Here is q
chance for some philanthropic person to
start such a society in this country

Breakfast is adelghtful hour in England,
for it is informal. Servants are often dis
pensed with altogether; people come in
when they choose, no one waiting for
another, and you may select your neighbor
if you are in time The women are fresh
and simple in toilet, the sportsmen in knick-
erbockers and shooting suits ready for the
occupation of the day. In some houses the
host and hostess sit at opposite ends of the
long table, and one pours tea and the other
coffee. In other mansions neither the host
nor hostess is visible before lunch time.
The table is spread only with fruit and
bread, and possibly cold sweets, jellies and
marmalade. Perhaps young lady Of the
family sits behind an egg boiler and cooks
eggs for her friends, but the substantial
meats, hot and cold, are on the sideboard,
and the men get up and forage for the
ladies and themselves. The viands, of
course, are abundant and delectable. An

EFFECTS OF OPIUM.
Physicians Not to Blame for the Numer
Gus Victims of the Drug.

Physicians Not to Blame for the Numer-
Gus Victims OF the Drug.
The subject of "opium eating'' is well
nigh worn threadbare, and yet, says the
Boston Herald, there are some facts relat-
Ing to it which have either been withheld
or touched too lightly upon. AS result
the drug is condemned In toto by many, and
physicians are generally censured for CIV
ing 1t place among their remedial agents.
PROFESSIONALLY the evil effects of an i'm
moderate use of opium are many, and so
terrible it would be hard to exaggerate
them. 1t is also undeniabie that some con-
trmed opium eaters can date back the habit
TO painful illness during the course of
which the drug was administered to them
by their medical attendant. But where this
Is fact the responsibility should by no
means be put upon the physician. Opium
is drug which is absolutely indispensable
In certain class of affections, and in them
its use is imperative. Its benefcent action
is not alone confined to the alienation of
pain. Under certain conditions its effect is
curative. 1t is only fair to believe that
whenever q duly qualified conscientious
physician orders it for a patient it is need
ed, All such physicians are fully con-
scious of the danger Of the opium habit
being acquired by patients, and it is safe to
say that they never direct its use in any
case where the substitution of another drug
is possible. 1t is, therefore, as has been
said, q grave injustice to put upon
them the responsibility if weak-minded,
irresolute patient happens to become fas
cinated by it. And there is another fact
scarcely ever mentioned in this connection
which should be given due prominence. OF
all the confirmed opium users, outside of
countries where the habit of using it is COM
mon, only very small per cent. had their
first experience with 1t during sickness
This is contrary to the general idea; but it
is, nevertheless, the truth. Another thing,
the number of victims 70 the opium habit is
infinitely less than is generally supposed
Outside the hospitals physicians in active
practice, even in cities, may count on the
myers OF one hand ali The cases Of this sort
each one sees in q lifetime.
The opium habit is a subject which is ever
popular with the sensational writer, for no
matter how much he may draw on his mag
nation his statements will generally be be-
lieved. Hs can not go far astray when he
confines himself TO the terrible effects of an
immoderate use of the drug when long per-
sisted In. The victim IN time becomes men
| tally and physically the most pitiful wreck,
and, what is worse yet, when he tries to free
himself from the habit, he finds that the
doors he closed behind him are almost al
ways locked Some, it is true, break away
and return 70 good health. but the number
