Use With Care.
From the New York Times.

How dangerous a thing is little
knowledge" has frequently been
proven. In these days, particularly
when every other person one meets
has notion or theory to advance upon
discretion is imperative. You have a
sore throat, perhaps, and say SO to a
friend you encounter in street car.
"Oh," she cries, whipping open her
bag, "you want chlorate OF potash
.oZenge. | am never without them.
Whenever / feel dryness in my throat.
however slight, [ pop one In my mouth
and the dryness vanishes. l don't wait
till the really sore stage is reached. !"
She had much better do SO, for the
probabilities are that she consumes
forty useless lozenges to the one that
proves remedial agent, and the thirty
nine are not only useless, but harmful.
The same properties which act
successfully upon the infamed tissues
of the throat act, when they are not SO
absorbed, unkindly upon the normal
tissues OF the stomach.
Quinine, too, that most beDefcent of
remedies in many cases, is much abused
in as many more. The climatic
conditions of this region do not demand
its incessant consumption. Yet in
innumerable households the box of
quinine pellets, from one grain for the
children up to five and even ten for the
seasoned head of the family, seems to
be an essential. Quinine is counted
among the ten dangerous drugs, and
the statistics of the hospital show it to
be the most prolific cause OF deafness.
And, on the other hand, this noble
compound is accredited with having
increased the average length of human
life two and a half years.
Another drug used in the hands of
women especially is aconite. Many
mothers will tell calmly of keeping
supply on hand with which to dose the
children indiscriminately on the ap-
pearance OF any abnormal condition.
Fortunately most of the aconite thus
reckiessly used is in the little sugar
pills of the homeopath, doubtless given
thus judiciously because of the habit;
but there are mothers who boldly
administer the mother tincture. Yet
aconite is deadly poison, used by
physicians with the most scrupulous
care and nicely, and supplemented
generally with it's antidote or compile
ment. 1t does serious evil, which
must speedily be repaired with its
good.
Simpler drugs are proportionately
powerful if persisted in. So mild a
distilIation as the essence of pepper
mint is injurious to the digestive
organs taken too often. All medicine,
indeed, that is not necessary, works a
degree of evil. For a slight ailing, if
diet, natural sleep and proper exercise
will not remove it, the safe plan is to
summon physician. AS the late DR..
H. H. Hamilton said: "Not every
one who wants dose of salts or of SIENNA
should send for doctor, but every one
who needs it."

How to Delay Old Age.
From the Scottish American.


When old age has really commenced
(says DR.. Richardson } it's march toward
final decay is best allayed by attention
to those rules of conservation by which
life is sustained with the least friction
and the least waste.
The prime rules for this purpose are:
To subsist on light but nutritious diet,
with milk as the standard food, but
varied according to the season. To take
food in moderate quantity four times in
the day, including light meal before
going to bed. To clothe warmly but
lightly, SO that the body may, in all sea-
sons, maintain its equal temperature.
To keep the body in fair exercise, and
the mind active and cheerful. To main
tain an interest in what is going OH in
the world, and to take part in reason
able labors and pleasures, as though old
age were not present. To take plenty
of sleep during sleeping hours. To
spend nine hours in bed at the least,
and take care during cold weather that
the temperature of the bedroom is
maintained at60o Fahrenheit. To avoid
passion, excitement and luxury

Oil ON the Breakers at Dangerous
Bars.

The steamer Mexico appears to have
solved a marine problem which may be
of great use to navigstors along certain
portions of the Pacific coast. On the
22d ult. she was detained outside the
Columbia River bar, and could not cross
it. The detention then was caused by
heavy breakers which render passage
of vessels impossible at certain phase 8
of the tides. Capt. Patterson states
that he waited outside ten hours for a
favorable chance to cross the bar, and
at last decided to try oil.
A large quantity of waste" was
placed in the closet pipes and oil was
allowed to drip slowly through to the
water. The oil spread with astonishing
rapidity over an immense area of water
surface, and it spread inshore over the
dangerous bar. The result was that the
comb of the breakers was broken, and

JAY GOULD SPEAKS OF THE FIRE
He Says There Would Have Been No
Connagration at Any Other Hour

He Says There Would Have Been No
Confagration at Amy Other Hour.
New YoRg, July 2l.-For the first time
since the fire of Friday Jay Gould this
morning was at his offices on the second
floor of the Western Union building.
Little damage was done by water there,
and the usual force of clerks was engaged
in the usual routine. Said he to a reporter:
/ was not connected with this company when
this building was erected, but understood it to
be as nearly freproof as possible. The floors
and walls and stairway are indestructible, OF
course. Necessarily. vast amount OF fuel was
on hand in the furniture needed to accommo-
date so many persons. Il must be said, how
ever, in view OF the probable origin of the fire,
that had it broken ont at any other time il
would almost certainly have been extinguished
at once II doubtless arose from the contact of
heat several wires, which were raised TO q white
by the combined current igniting the covering
CT the wires and the woodwork near by. Men
are usuallyon hand at the point where the FIRE be-
gan, but were not there at that time to check
the spread of the flames which were not discov-
cred until they made some Roadway. When the
fire was at length noticed, the force of men on
the spot was unequal TO extinguish the FIRE
without giving the alarm Thus, instead OF
saying that at any other hour the fire would
probably have caused great loss of life, il 10
doubtless proper to say that at any other hour
the building would not have been destroyed.

FASCINATION OF JAPAN.
Why Sir Edwin Arnold Chooses to Re-
main in That Delightful Country.

Why Sir Edwin Arnold Chooses to Re-
main in That Delightful Country.
The empire of Japan seems to exercise
an irresistible fascination upon its visitors.
Many Americans as well as Englishmen
who have stopped at Toxic and Yokohama,
and sundry other cities of the Japanese
land, have been so delighted with the natu-
raj beauties of the country, the charm of
its life, the rare courtesy and gentleness of
its people. that they have chosen to remain
there the greater part if not the whole of
the remainder of their natural existence.
1t is well known that Sir Edwin Arnold,
since his arrival in the dominion of the
Japs, has been so pleased with his expe-
rience among them that he is loath to re-
turn to the rush and crush of London liv-
ing. the wear and tear of his editorial du-
ties on the London Telegraph, where he
once was so fond of writing articles yard
long in euiogy of Lord Salisbury or in
scholarly denunciation of MIR. Gladstone
He finds the luxurious ease of Japanese
living, the quiet habits of the people and
their simple amusements too delightful to
be enjoyed only for few weeks. Conse-
quentiy, instead OF deserving the hospitable
shades OF Toxic after q short sojourn, as he
had planned before he arrived within its
pleasant territories. he has continued to
abide there for several months. and it is
said that in moments OF lethean enjoyment
he has been known to f0rswear thinking of
friends in theo English lie and threaten
to finger in the perfume-laden atmosphere
the East forever. When ne consider the
eff, ct of life in Japan upon such q man as
Sir Edwin, says the Boston 7rarelier, it is
natural that we should crieve to hear of
the departure of one of our own literateurs,
in taste and feeling somewhat similar to
his English brother author, and who is
about to retire from his pastoral retreat in
New England to the more seductive shores
of the tea drinkers in the far Eist We
urge upon Professor A. s. Hardy the neces-
sity of steeling himself against the fatal
destinations OF the land OF the willy Japs.
We cannot afford to lose SO excellent a
scholar and so good q writer as he is, and
we trust he will be properly impressed with
the duty incumbent on him as q New
Highlander of returning ere many
months are past to his friends at home
and not to be tempted, as Sir Edwin has al
ready been tempted, to live forever in the
soft delights of tea slipping and the ma
nipulation of dainty chopsticks.

Gradually Disappearing. Owing to the

WHATcoM, July 21.-The Lummi Indians
are gradually disappearing from the reser-
vat,on and the birth rate does not replenish
their ranks. A few of them have well cul-

great bulk of the old reservation lands are
unoccupied and uncultivated. These lands
are the most productive in Whatcom
county. and If rented or sold to the whites
would secure an income sufficient 70 main
tain the handful OF Indians remaining.
The Indian lands, consisting of IL 900 acres
held in severalty under patents, which pre-
clude taxation for any purpose for twenty
years to come, are worth 500 per acre,
being only five miles west of this city. The
legislature and congress should investigate
this matter and deal fairly with the sub
ject, SO as to do justice to the Indians and
