other Ways OF Getting TIpsy Besides
Draining the Decanter.
The world knows the besotted creature
at glance, but the secret of the idle,
aimless society leader is shared only by
the physician and druggist. She does
not go to the decanter for the nerve
bracing tonic. 1t is not the wine mer-
chant who profits by the tippling of
fashion, but the uptown chemists, who
fill the vinaigrettes of silver and crystal
with the medicated lotions and stimu-
lating salts; who supply the fragrant
Egyptian cigarettes and the aromatic
Turkish tobacco, and who concentrate
into infinitesimal form the insidious
cocaine, morphia, and chloral, and the
pungent sal volatile, that sets the blood
pumping through the veins, fires the
fancies, and brightens the wits of the
habitual patron.
The dilettante inebriate has her eau de
vim, as well as her cologne and Florentine
waters; she has her red lavender, medi-
Gated camphor ice; she has spirits of car
lannon's, opium pills, and, when every
thing else is exhausted, spirits of lauda-

ing that steals away the senses and wells
the world with the hazy mist of intoxi-
cation.
These devices, it must be remembered,
are not common, for the reason that it
costs money to get drunk on extracts of
chypre, white lilac or jasmine, that costs
81. bottle, or So per pint.
Another resource to which the fashion
able tippler is driven is the alcoholic
vapor bath. Still another unhealthy
form of fashionable dissipation is to be
found in the bonbon tray. There are
brandy cherries, five of which will suffice
to make the average woman giddy, and
a quarter of pound completely destroy
her senses The @drop" candy used to
contain wine, and resembled a cherry in
size. Now the most powerful liqueurs
are used, and the sugar pIums favored
with absinthe, maraschino, or krsch that
an ordinary bonbonniere will hold are as
-solacing" as anything in the line Of
"tonics or @sedatives.

Society is tie master and man the

Troubles, like babies, grow larger by
nursing.
BY being contemplate we set mems

Shallow men believe in luck; strong
men believe in cause and effect.
AS tears soften the heart, so does rain
soften the earth that good may come.
If you would have faithful servant.
and one that you like, serve yourself.
We must take the current when it
serves, or lose our ventures LShakes-
peare.
Moral supremacy is the only one which
leaves monuments, not ruins, behind it.
Self is the great anti-Chst and anti
God in the world that sets itselfup above
all else.
When thought Is too weak to be simply
expressed, it is proof that it should be
rejected.
Fortune, whether good or i'll, does not
change either men or women, but only
tends to develop their characters
We never do evil so thoroughly and,
heartily as when led to it by an honest.
but perverted because mistaken, con-
science.
The very consciousness of trying. for
real excellence in anything is n great
support. 1t takes the sting from failure
and doubles the joy of success.
It is easier to find score of men wise
enough to discover the truth than to
find one interpid enough to stand up for
it in the face of opposition.
The essence of true nobility is neglect
of self. Let the thought of self pass
in, and the beauty of great action is
gone like the bloom from a soiled
flower. IL IFroude.
The true Christian is like the sun
which pursues its noiseless track, and

Be always frank and true; spurn
every kind of affectation and disguise.
Have the courage TO confess your igno-
rance and awkwardness; and confide
your faults and follies to but few.
Go with mean people and you think
life is mean. TlFen read Plutarch, and
the world is proud place, peopled with
men of positive quality, with heroes and
demigods around us, who will not let US

All pleasure must be bought at the
price of pain. The difference between
false pleasure and true is just this: For
the true, the price is paid before you en-
joy it; for the false, after you enjoy 1t.

He is the only true reformer who Is as

and, perhaps, even more so, for in aims
giving more injury is probably done by
rewarding vice than by relieving virtue.

The American People Make an unparai-
IeIed Record.

Ieled Record.
A statement of the debb xtinguish-
ment of our coua,ry since the war never
seases to be impressive. IL reflects not
only the growth, but the patriotism and
prosperity of our people as no other
tatistical exhibit does. The mere fact
rs startling that s5 years ago. less than a
generation, the public debt was ", ao0,-
200 600, entailing an annual interest
:harge of $151, 600, 900. and it is now
only 1921 .O00 900. and the interest charge
: but 500. SOC, 900. The face of the debt
las decreased to one third its maximum
size. while the interest charge has de-
creased to one-fifth its highest amount,
owing to refunding at the constantly de-
clining rates of interest In the past lO
years large proportion of the debt has
been extinguished. At the time of the
1880 census the public debt was 81, 9l9,-
0C0, 900, and the interest charge was $79,-
500. 900, so that in decade the debt has
been reduced $99s, 900, 900, or say ST.
600, 600, 900.
1t will thus be seen thatif the country
remains prosperous and continues to be
well governed it will be entirely possible
co extinguish the entire remaining public
iebt in the next 10 years, so that the
people of the United States could, if
they choose, enter upon the twentieth
century with net surplus in the treas
ury. 1t has been the historic fiscal
policy of our country to pay off its debt;
we presume it will continue to be.
The present census will show 65, ,000,-
300 people in the United States, in all
probability, and this will figure debt
it the present time of only $i4 per in
habitant, which is small while the in
terest charge of $50, All, ,603 entails tax
Of less than so cents per year per inhab-
liant. Our readers will see from this
how slight burden the national debt is
in comparison with the real taxation Of
the people, which is local taxation,
ranging all the way from 50 to $40 per
1000. The problems which confront
this generation of Americans are not
those of poverty, certainly. II Boston

One OF the Curious Residents or the
Greenland Coast.
An interesting denizen of the ice fields
off the Greenland and Labrador coasts is
the stemmatopus, or hooded seal. This
is an ungainly beast, often larger than an
OK. He lies in great heap on the ice,
and is much the color of SCOT. On days
when the sup is. strong, as the spring adj
vances, the oil fairly oozes out of his
glistening skin. have sometimes seen
him lying so still, and bathed in his per-
spiration of oil, that / imagined him
dead, and rendering" out in the heat
The seal hunters call him the dog hood,
because he has huge hood or mem
brane, consisting of blubber and tough
tissue several inches thick, which in the
twinkling of an eye he can draw over his
head. He is then safe from all ordinary
assault, being shielded all over the body
by several inches thick of blubber or fat,
through which the heavy shot Of the
seal hunters guns can not reach vital
parts. The greenhorn delights TO capt
ure the pelt of dog hood, but the ex-
perienced hunter is just as content to let
the ugly brute alone.

A Texas Mans Sudden Jump to Riches and

SAN ANTONIO, July 25.-Some time ago
A. w. Bishop, an English journalist of this
section, fell heir to some money in the old
country. He did not know how much, and
put his claim in the hands of the San
Antonio National Bank. Shortly afterward
one of the London banks telegraphed and
wrote the National Park Bank, of New
York, that it held deposit for Mr. Bishop,
as his share of the estate, o. S840. The National
Park Bank in turn telegraphed and wrote to
its correspondent here that there was de-
posit to Mr.. Bishops credit of 80, 400.
Though somewhat surprised at the gener-
osity of his relative and the handsome man.
nerin which his estate was cut up, Mr..
Bishop drew the money from the bank here.
Some of it he invested in real estate, and
some he rebanked. He LETT two days ago for
Opelousas, where he is to marry Miss Rich

Immediately after his departure it was
learned that the National Park had COM
mitted the clerical error of adding one
naught too many to the sum due Mr.. Bishop.
The property he bought was promptly Sc
questered. and lawyer left Yesterday for
Opelousas 1t is presumed that Mr.. Bishop,
who is held entirely blameless in the mat

and is speeding northward on bridal tour.
The question with lawyers is" ,"Will tine Ma

consequences of its error. or will the prop
erty bought by Bishop revert to it?" Suit
has been instituted by the bank.
