THE MORPH NE HABIT.
How to Stop the Growth of This Terrib1.
Feminine Vice.

now 20 stop the UFoWtn OF lhls Terrible
Feminine Vice.
A physician of this city states in an
interview that the opium habit is grow
ing to alarming proportions in this city
not the use of the raw article, but its
consumption in more agreeable forms,
such as morphine pills, injections, etc.
He AYERS that it is no uncommon thing
for family physicians to find many pa
tients slaves to the habit, and their
arms and sometimes entire bodies COW
cred with scars made by the injections.
When their physicians discover the
result and forbid the future use of the
drug he says they not infrequentIy
change doctors and lie in order to OBJ
tain medical permission to continue
their course. 1t is not unusual,
according to him, for them to
go to strange physician and
represent themselves as from
the country and in sore need of relief
by means of opium in some form.
Under these circumstances, the relator
says, he always insists on seeing their
arms. In nine of such cases out of ten
he finds evidences of hypodermic in
jections, and refuses their requests.
He claims that the habit is taking such
hold pom the people that it can only
be checked by the combined efforts of
physicians and legislators, and that
unless it is firmly taken in hand it will
work as much ruin as does liquor.

dicted to this debasing habit than men,
for several reasons. To start with,
men have other stimulants, such as
liquor and tobacco, and again women
can obtain morphine more secretly than
they can liquor, and consume it without
showing so much of its effects. There
is no need here to ditate upon the hor-
ror which this wretched practice brings
upon its victims. Nothing which sci
ence or ingenuity has discovered to the
world reacts so terribly upon those
who abuse this creature brought into
the world for the alienation of mans
ills. If one 1.-THE of what the physician
has averred is true no time should be
lost by his fellows in cooperating to
prevent the prescription of the drug
save in cases OF the utmost neces-
sity. When the Legislature meets
there should be memorial presented
to that body asking for legislation of
the strictest sort, which shall punish
with severity any druggist who sells
opium in any of Its forms without
prescription from physician of repu-
table standing, or any doctor who shall
prescribe the drug save to encompass
the saving of life or the alienation of
the direst distress. Chicago Maj.

ARMENIAN WOMEN.
A Vivid Sketch of Their Home and Social
Life and Customs.

A Vivid Sketch of Their Home and Social
Life and Customs.
The Armenians belong to two classes
| the kalun, or ''coarse," and the inge,
| or refined" The former are mem
bers of the Gregorian, or National,
Armenian Church. They are con-
sentative, and especially in the inte-
rior adhere rigidly to their ancient
Oriental manners and customs, which
the inge, who belong to the Roman
Catholic Church and copy European
manners, have in great measure set
aside.
In Armenia the women are secluded
to the extent of dining and sitting
apart from the men, and out of doors
they are cloaked and vailed like the
Turkish women. The Armenian la
dies of Constantinople are renowned for
their beauty, which consists chiefly in
the langa,lr of their dark, almond
shaneS .fSs. As rule, however, the
armenian type is coarse. especially
among the lower classes.
In the capital and in Smyrna, where
ibis community is numerous, the up
per classes of both Gregorians and
Catholics are well educated and not
much inferior in manners to their
neighbors of other races. While re-
siding in the latter city | was invited
to an Armenian fancy dress ball,
where l was the only European
present. Every thing was well
arranged. The stewards were perfect
in their duties, and the costumes were
extremely rich, varied and picturesque.
One pretty girl in northumberland
in the ancient Turkish costume-made
great sensation, and was deservedly
besieged by partners, for she waltzed
most gracefully. Many of the ladies
and gentlemen present spoke English.
nearly all expressed themselves
huently in French, and | was indebted
to them for most enjoyable evening.
In the privacy of their homes the
Armenian women of all classes are as
rule untidy and slatternly They
are passionately fond of tinery, and -
the towns, having discarded uneir
national costume, they cop the Paris
ian fashions. But ir want OF taste
seldom fails to make itself evident in
glaring and ill-assorted colors, while
those who can afford it overload them
selves with jewelry. Out of doors
they wear preposterously high-heeled
French boots, on which they totter
along the roundly-s saved streets, but
on returning home they exchange
these for slippers run down at the
heels and their toilets for pettcoats
and jackets, the latter of thin calico
in summer and fur-lined stuff in Win
ter.-Cor. Chicago Tribune.

| Why Stockholders Should Not BE p,s-
oouraged by an Occasional Loss.
When business is depressed, take
1t up. Seldom has the prospect for
profitable investment in cattle been
better. Prices are low; corn and other
sorts of feed generally are reasonable
in price. For beef buy yearlings and
crowd" them for market, if their
present condition will warrant, at %
months to ~ months OF age. If you
don't understand getting them to mar
ket at profit by 80 months or SO
months of age, don't try to handle beef
cattle where land is worth more than
$50 per acre. Only men on very cheap
farm land, or on the ranches, can
afford to keep cattle until they are 40
months or four years of age. The
earlier in age steers are slaughtered
Gas good beef, the smaller the beef
supply. The quality, too. is better,
The l. 100 pound yearling, if sold, re-
duces the quantity of beef possible to
his growte. as a 48-months animal,
tully 40 per cent. The yearling or
two-year-old beef is always produced
at less cost. too, the conditions and
methods of feeding being the same.
Plenty of grain is needed to put a
yearling into market at 1,100 pounds,
or 1,200 pounds weight. Where one
has an abundance of pasture and hay,
half the ration of grain used to pro-
nJrn Uaa1slinrr hnaf ~
half may be used quite as profitably on
the steer until he is thirty months or
80 months old. On cheap land, hay,
and pasture alone, with favorable eli
mate or shelter, may often be the ex-
elusive feed for the steers after eight
months old until even four years old,
when they will go into a profitable
market.
For dairy purposes, of course the
heifers do not need the quantity of
food required to make beef OF them.
But a calf should be stunted in growth
under no circumstances. Beef and
dairy products are each to be consid-
cred as representing business, with
different results in the details of their
outcome. The beef producer must be
content, on the start, to invest, and
''work and wait" for results, from six
months to two or three years. He
must be patient and far-sighted. The
dairyman often sees his returns from
the start. For doing either of the two
branches of the work, exclusively,
different types of men are as necessary
as distinct breeds of cattle; yet there
are exceptional men with abundant
breadth of thought and purpose to
carry on beef production and dairying
very successfully. The conservative
course is to make one or the other in
cidental to the other. Each branch of
the industry has both its advantages
and disadvantages, which the one en-
gaging in them must consider.
Thoughtful care and attention to de-
tails will add largely to the percent
age of profits. But an occasional loss
should not discourage one. Orange

Montreal's Doodle Terrace.

There is handsome row of houses
on one of the finest thoroughfares OF
of Montreal which has been virtually
killed by name. People move in and
move out again. yet nobody has de-
clared it haunted, though soon it will
be consigned to ruin and desolation. 1t
is called Doodle Terrace, and was so
named by public opinion. The man
who built it had left the States with
a large sum of ill-gotten money. He
invested it in those buildings, but peo-
pie soon knew him as boodler, and
although no law reached him, he felt
the whitening contempt of his Cana
dian neighbors. After certain time,
he returned to his native country and
faced the music, leaving behind him
as his only recognition an inodarous

BOOSTS FOR TURKEYS.


Objections to Some of the Sloven1y Prac-
tees of Many Poultry Raisers.
Nothing is more common than to
make the turkeys roost upon apple
or shade trees near the house or barn,
or even upon the shed or barn roofs,
or other farm buildings. But this is a
slovenly practice, and open to several
objections. The roosting Of the young
birds upon small limbs is liable to in
jure the breast bones of the chicks
while they are in the gristle stage of
growth, and in zero nights the feet of
adult birds are much more liable to
get frozen upon a small limb than
upon a stout pole. broad enough to
balance the bird without clasping
The toes are more completely covered
with feathers and protected from the
frost. The roosting of birds upon the
roofs of buildings is a filthy practice
that no thrifty farmer should tolerate
The manure is necessarily wasted. A
properly and located roost
guards against these evils, and makes
an important addition to the manure
heap. The wild turkey, of course,
lodges in trees during the winter, but
they have the choice of location, and
seek the shelter of thick woods, which
modifies the temperature.
One of our best poultrymen, who
raises some two hundred turkeys year.
ly has located his roosts at the south
end of his horse barn, where there is
partial shelter from the northeast and
northwest winds in winter. Forked
posts form the support of the scaffold-
ing-two front posts about eighteen
feet high, and two rear posts about
fourteen feet high. The front and
rear posts at each end of the scaffold
are connected by a stout heavy pole
four or five inches in diameter, kept
in place by the forks at the top of the
posts. Upon these side poles, which
slope like the roof of a shed, smaller
poles. three or four inches in diameter,
are spiked to each end, forming the
roost for the turkeys. The roosting
poles are about two feet apart, of red
cedar, and are very durable, with a
strong odor, which is said to be safe
guard against insects. The white
cedar of the swamps, or the arbor
vitae, or any of the resinous woods
answer the same purpose.
