variably omitted to give facts by way Of

iormIy avoided printing former and ex-
listing schedules OF duties by way Of cdhn-

have shown that reductions largely over

exception being that for the protection

was accorded in response to quite gen.
eral demand from the National Grange

became apparent to every patriotic OBJ
server when IL was seen that of the last
fiscal years importations 1851 ,947 ,351

consisted OF ARTICLES OF food and live

law will permit them to do without fore

CITIZEN DRINKING.


A New Form of Intoxicati0E and Its
Effects Upon the System.
\ curious habit now attracting attention
in Ireland is that of ether drinking. Ac-
corling to statistics recently commented
upon by DIR. Henry Conkling in the Brook
lyn Medical journal the habit is Of late
years on the increase. The ether is sold to
the consumers III groceries, tayerns and
public houses, selling for two cents United
States money for two drains. Its very
small cost enables the dose 10 be frequent
ly repeated. From two drains to half an
ounce is the amount usually drunk; and
this is repeated from two TO six times dur
ing the day, depending gu the personal
habits. One or Two cases OF confirmed
drinkers are mentioned where one pint of
ether was generally used when on Il de
baucI, in divided doses.
The amount that produces intoxication
depends on the individual The ether is
drunk in It Single swallow, sometimes di-
luted. and again taken pure. The lntoXi-
eating effects are quickly produced, and
quickly pass away. 1t is possible, there
fore, for an habitue to become into Xicated
many times in short period.
A small dose causes Il feeling of ex-
hilaration, The drinker laughing, dancing,
and being quite wild in his movements. If
t he small dose be not exceeded, there is no
period of marked depression following the
stimulation, but in larger quantities u
state of stupor is frequently present, and
as the effect passes AWAY feeling of
| weakness is left. Mnuia is Il marked
feature very commonly presented, the
drinkers often becoming Very violent.

| consumed largeq quantities a traia of nerv-
ous and circulatory disturbances is gen

the skin is of u cyanotic hue. The more
moderate drinkers generally suffer from
various forms Of stomach troubles. In all
