Opium and Suicide.

81 have been taking opium for the
last four years. 1t was on leaving the
army that met a young man to whom
I explained that suffered from severe
headache. He advised me to take
opium, and I said to him: Won't it
grow upon me?' He replied, NO. I
have heard since that he hanged him
self. 1 took to eating the drug, and
from day to day I swallowed increased
doses until l could take one drachm
every day. / used to roll it up into
pills. When my money became short
and I was unable to get any more
opium my life became a misery. I
craved for it without effect. and as I
could not exist any longer without it
I cut my throat" This was the state
ment made by one George Hall. on
whom an inquest was held at Birming-
ham recently to n doctor. This
doctor said ten grains under ordinary
circumstances were fatal. Suicide
while temporarily insane" was the
verdict.

friends and neighbors, iii which he said,
''NEIGHBoRs GIVE YOUR BOYS A CHANCE"

Here is their chance!

An Extraordinary Proposition to Cover
Over London Thoroughfares.
A propo sal TO make London glass
rooted city is the subject of long let
ter addressed to the London Daily
News The plan, which will not be
popular with the umbrella-makers, re-
sembles one in Mr.. Bellamy's Looking
Backward" The writer, however, does
not treat the subject as part of scheme
for a future Utopia, but as one to be
carried to a practical and successful
issue. lie says:
1.-THE covering Of Cheapside, Poultry,
Queen Victoria street, Regent street,
Bond street, or Oxford street with a
glass roof may appear a quixotic sug-
gestion, but other at first sight less
successfully, and the world has not
ceased to revolve on its axis in conse-
quence. The gain to the great British
public, or to that section who are in the
habit of travelling the main arteries of
London, from point of comfort alone,
should be sufficient to warrant a trial
Most people prefer brightness and beau
ty to dirt and discomfort. Nothing to
my mind, can have more miserable
and tawdry appearance than leading
London thoroughfare on wet day,
when poor, dripping humanity de-
sends to the depths of dependency
and every object, animate and mani
mate, has washed-out appearance. A
change from the conditions of things
would be delightful to all persons con-
cerned-those who would reside under
glass, so to speak, and those who would
use the thoroughfare for business pur-
poses. The former would, of course,
be called upon TO bear the expense of
improvement. If say the outlay they
would incur would be returned to them
In few years, owing to the increased
flow of business to their doors-and to
the lessened expenditure upon paint
and cleaning-I should be under the
mark Our wood and asphalt streets
would be dry, perfectly safe in all
weathers, and the lease of life doubled
or trebled. If the rain water were not
preserved for domestic use it could be
usefully applied in flushing the sewers
with clean water instead of liquid mud.
The health of the inhabitants would be
greatly benefited by breathing dry at
mosphere instead of damp, humid
one Our clothes. boots, hats and general
comfort would not suffer as they do

THE DYING HOUR.
Unto the Great Silence. >

Into the Great Silence"
Into an endless life to come.
Into a vast tomorrow,
Into the realms of a Great Unknown,
From earthly confines narrow;
From days OF mingled grief and cheer
OF blended woe and gladness.
To Great Beyond that draws anear
The soul OF man with sadness.
Away from scenes OF earthly strife,
The ties of time TO sever
Falling asleep on the eve of life
To wake in new life forever;
Failing asleep on the bosom Of earth,
At the end of wearisome journey,
or sun and shade, Of yield and dearth,
OF colors trailed and boastful tourney
Dove halt and tremble on the brink
OF the time-eternity river?
Do we list the ferryman's voice, or shrink
At his cry of 'ever-foreverg"
o. fearful it is to list the call,
Though made for worlds supernal,
But such is life and death Mans all
Is quilted in life eternal
What finite power may lift the veil
That hangs across the portal?
Whose ears may list the stirring tale
Rehearsed in realms immortal5
Only the eye of faith supreme
May see the silver lining.
Or catch the rays Of the golden CLEAN
That behind dark clouds are shining.
Only the ears of hope and trust
May hear the welcome story;
Only hands unscathed by moth and rust
May touch the heavenly glory;
Only the heart that never faints,
May feel the strength and power
OF the Word of God revealed to saints
In the mystical Dying Hour.

CELTIC MANIFESTATIONS.
The Joys and Sorrows of the Irish as Ex
pressed In Their Music.

The Joys and Sorrows of the Irish as Ex-
pressed In Their Music.
In the Irish dirges and laments there
is great similarity to the music of the
West Highlands, only the Irish music
having been written in most instances
for the harp (which has all the notes of
the voice) Is music of full and sweet
harmonies, and has not the omissions
and deficiencies of the pentatonic scale
in which all music for the pipes was
written. While the melancholy of the
Celtic people finds inadequate express
sion In these laments-plaintive, wall
ing airs, something between recitative
and melody--anothGr and not less char
acteristic side OF the Irish temperament
is very truthfully illustrated in their
songs of humor.
About these, says the Saturday Re-
view, there Is an inimitable raeiness, a
fresh and sparkling wit, spontaneous
ring Of chaff aud fun, with u dash Of
chivalrous sentiment, and an airy light
ness which give to them the unlnis-
taxable Hibernian accent, and to which
there Ii no exact counterpart In the
songs Of England or Scotland
