People prugged to Death.

There can be no doubt that could
the opinion of medical men Of every
school be obi ined, the universal ver-,
diet would be that the people are TAX
ing too much medicine. All classes Of
physicians who medicate at all give
far less medicine than they did twenty
years ago. and yet much more medi-
cine is taken. Standardization is car
ried on extensively. if not alarmingly.
Morphine and quiuine, carthartic pills
and bitters are staples among a large
class OF citizens who prescribe for
themselves, and then comes the patent
nostrums whose name is legion, and in
this line alone probably moro than ten
times as much medicine is consumed
as all the physicians in the country
prescribe.
The public would be surprised to
know the number of those addicted TO
the opium habit, and it should be re-
membered that the opium habit Is one
from which the victim is rarely extri-
Gated. 1t is one too, that embitter5

clinations and tendencies that make
life burden. The prevalence OF the
malarial influence has given toquinlne
a popular use beyond all precedent in
the past, and thousands ARE swallowing
this drug without regard to medical
advice, and are thus endanSering the
organs of hearing. deranging the stom-
ach and confusing the intellectual OPP
erations. Improper food and rash
mode of taking it, insufficient exercise
and over-straining of the nervous sy $

the rule rather than the exception and

is their improper and indiscriminats

Two facts shuld be impressed upor

secondly, that advice from the medica

China and Rnilrnnda

Ii Hung Chang, the Viceroy OF
China, is reported as having lately
made the assertion that within the
next half century China would be
coverered with a network Of railways.
that it would have rolling mills and
furnaces, with immense mineral re-
sources, and unlimited cheap labor TO
back them, and that China may do the
manufacturing Of the world. While
China is proverbally slow in adopting
the methods of the outside barbarians
q striking chance has been taking
place there lately; and to-day China
has an excellent fleet OF ironclads ii
the most modern type, is arming and
disciplining Its soldiers after European
models, has telegraph lines and AZ
least one railway in successful opera-
tion, and is pushed forward in phe.

China, toward the ACQUISITION Of the

Mater for EXPRESS Trains.

One of the most ingenious OF modern
railway inventions is that which allows
the engine of fast express to pick up
water without stopping, from water
troughs constructed between the rails.
Meeting Pennsylvania railroad en-
gineer in Jersey City. a Star reporter
asked him to explain the modus oper-
andi. The driver, he said, lowers the
scoop down from the tender into the
trough between the rails, the fireman
stands ready to turn on the tap into
the water tank; we hear hollow sound
as the iron Of the trough rings beneath
our feet, then rush of water; ten
seconds more the water is splashing
up against thu top of the tank, the tap
is turned off sven more hastily than it
was turned OIL, tho scoop is drawn up,
and we are speeding on our way with
the water-trJughs lying far behind us.
The fireman DOES we'll 70 be prompt;
cases have been known where he has
neglected Or failel to lift up the scoop
in time, and the water has oyerfowed
the tank, flooded the tender, set pick
and shovel and Goals all aloat, and
surging up against the firebox door,
gone nea2 to putting the fire out alto

At the poipts where the troughs be-
gin and terminate the line rises slight

prevented from running out of the
