The Pope of Rome, the Emperor
of Germany, James G. Blaine, Glad
stone and other prominent statesmen
are favoring the disarmament of all
the standing armies of civilized ma
tons. A writer says that would in
dictate that the tune is approaching
when ''the swords shall be beaten into
pillow shares and the spears into prun-
ing hooks and the nations shall learn
war no more" That will be a glor-
ious time but such a movement brings
with it some regrets. Who will not
be sorry to see that historic blade
with which the hundred days hero of
Camp KeOkuk slew so many lightning
bugs, hammered over and made into
a lister or a shovel-plow. Would it
not be better to postpone the mil
leuniUm few years on account OF the
+ old lightning bug veteran?

A Pretty Italian Phrase,

The Italians have a pretty phrase to
express that fine kind of tact which is
independent of education. They call il
"the intellect of love;' and they have
crystalized in those four words one OF
the most ethereal, but also one of the
most potent characteristics of human
nature. Not tho most liberal education
gives this intellect of love where the
materials have been denied by natures
not the most restricted range of knowl
edge destroys it where it is there by the
constitution of things. People who
have this intellect of love are as slow to
take offense as to give it. They have
none of the prickly heat Of tempera.
ment which fushes out into a moral
eruption at the least contrariety of cir.
cumstances. They make allowances
for wealth, health, disappointments,
annoyances, misunderstanding, and
they give the benefitof the doubt on the
charitable side, whenever it is possible
to frame doubt at all They never
quarrel. Even if things go badly, as BY
reason of malice and misrepresenta tion
as they do sometimes with the best in
the world, they suffer quietly, and de-
not make bad worse. st. Louis Globe.

Opium Smoking in London.

Some startling facts are brought to
light by a writer in recent issue of the
Medical Press concerning the increase
in the habit of smoking opium in Lon
don. A gentleman who had been told
that this habit was growing determined
to make some inquiries himself. After
some time he learned that application
for information should be made to
certain well-known medical practitioner
living in the West End. The gentle.
mans wife wrote to this practitioner
asking information and received in re.
ply a copy of pamphlet entitled
"opium Smoking as Therapeutic
Power, According to the Latest Medical
Authorities" The pamphlet describes
in detail the method of preparing and
smoking the opium and recites the con.
ditions which are said to be specially
benefited BY taking the drug in this
form. The physician who is supposed
to be the author of the pamphlet is
confirmed opium smoker and he seems
to be actuated with a desire to drag
others down to the level of his owr
degradation.
