a WORD FROM c. STACEY

To the Editor of the Journal.
SIR: In his Sunday paper, Maj. J. K.
Hudson drops his usually courteous
manner long enough to call the under
signed 'blackmai1er," and this in the
home of both of US where only one has
opportunity to speak to his friends.
Brother Hudson has been before the pub
lie too long, and has been too often
seeker after public patronage to indulge
in such vituperation. He evidently for
gets himself
A blackmailer is one who demands
money or other consideration for the
suppression of alleged Injurious facts,
under threats of publishing them to the
world. l merely give the usual accepta-
ton of the word. The major evidently for
gets himself, as he has done before. If 1
have ever demanded money or any other
consideration of any man, let the honest
editor of the Capital name the man and
act, but until that can be done 1 must OBJ
ject to such language from this man who
demands public position.
1t is true that for fifteen years have
lived in Topeka honestly and paid my
debts, and possibly for this reason he
feels grieved. l have never contracted
debts with no intention of paying them.
God help the Republican party when
it falls into the hands of such men. for
martial power cannot save it from dis
repute and disintegration.

Age end scx IN Discasc.

There are three periods in adult life
when one seems more liable to 90
wrong than at other times. The one is
at a6 years of agc, when thin people
tend TO become fat, and fat people thin;
the, next is between IA and so. when
the appetite fails, nervous diseases up.
pear, when one no longer likes to stoop
much and begins to prefer riding to
walking; and the next Is at Gl, when
the same phenomena appear more
markedly. With regard to the sexual
distribution of disease, one may say
that ordinary kidney, lung and brain
diseases, accidents of all sorts, scarlet
fever and late consumption are most
prevalent among nales, and cancer,
diphtheria, typhoid fever and carly
consumption among females. The most
distressing case of nerve breakdown
among unmarried women is that sud
den change of circumstances that en-
sues when father dies who, through
carclessness or improvidcnce, has neg
lected to make adequate provision for
his unmarried daughters.

DEPoPULATED. eY OPIUM.

At the Present Rate That Will Soon Eo
the Condition of These French Islands.
w. Hoffner, for two years manager
of the Societe Commerciale, which
owns large stores on the Marquesas and
Dominique islands, lately arrived here,
says the San Francisco Chronicle.
Every two or. three months Mr.. Hotf-
ner was in the habit of cruising in o
boat around these islands, making nu-
merous landings. This has made him
exceedingly familiar with the islands
and their inhabitants. He says that
the natives are dying off very rapidly
by reason of the use of opium and that
in short time there will be none left
The past year has made fearful inroads
on them.
1.-THE deaths have been so frequent"
said Mr.. Hoffner, "that lately the
French government has been doing
all it could to suppress the opium
habit, but with meagre success. 1t
hinders it in some ways, but in the
main it is carried on as before. The
French government introduced opium
into the islands about twenty years
ago, and now q vain effort is being
made to stamp out the evil. 1t is,
however, too late to remedy the
wrong.
'The natives are dying off like flies.
In ten years, if the present rate of
mortality keeps up, there will not be
one of them left. The last few years
have been especially severe and made
terrible inroads on the population.
Where the natives cannot get opium
to satisfy their cravings, they substi-
tute brandy obtained from the CO.
cocoanut tree, which is even worse than
the product of the poppy juice. The
liquor is nothing, in fact, but the nat
ural sap of the cocoanut tree. The is
landers bore holes in the tree, and the
sap almost Immediately begins to run.
This process kills the tree, but they do
not care for that. The liquor is
stronger than opium, and have seen
the poor native drunk on it and lying
about like dead men for three or four
days.
"They do not smoke the opium, but
eat it, and in enormous quantities.
They eat so much of it and have such
abnormal cravings for it to the exclu-
sion of almost every other desire, that
they do not buy the amount of general
merchandise they ordinarily would. As
result, business is bad in the islands
Trade, outside of opium, has fallen off
great deal, and the people seem to
have lost the energy and desire to ad-
vance that they once had. 1t is SO
quiet there now that l think shall
return to Chilli, where l was before.
When the native population is wiped
out altogether, as now seems to be it's
fate, the islands will be an excellent
field for emigration. l am not sure that
at present the French government
would encourage immigration"
Mr.. Hoffner says there are now very
few Americans on the islands. :

Female VrIters' Names.

1t would be a comfort, says n writer
or the Worcester Gazette, to news
oaper writer's, if female authors would
disclose whether they ought to be
styled Miss or Mrs. In writing about
woman's book, after you have said
the first time that iti is, for instance, by
Sarah Battles, you cannot go on with
the articles and speak of her as 'Sa-
rah' or as Battles 1t would not be
civil to call her that Battles woman
You have got to say Mrs. Battles, and
run the risk of a serious mistake.
The same thing happens in correspond
ence, only the risk is worse. A lady
who is "a stranger writes on business
which requires an answer. According
to the best form, she signs her maiden
given name and her husbands sur
name, as for example, Viola Maria
Aguecheek.' How is the unfortunate
man to address the reply? Shall it be
to Miss Aguecheels or to Mrs. Aguc-
check? The man is in distress. 1t
would seem almost ill-bred to make n
mistake-alnost an affront, because it
would be an intimation that the lady
,wasS 6ely known"

Qualifications of Canadian Voters.

In order to be entitled to vote in Can
ada one must be n male British sub
ject, 21 years old, and have lived in the
Dominion at least a year. He must
also have been the owner of real estate
or the occupicr of n rented house or
business property for the same time.
If he owns real estate it must be worth
$500 in cities, $500 in towns, and $50
elsewhere. If one neither owns nor
occupies real estate as tenant, he can
vote if he earns $500 year or if
he be the son of farmer or real
estate owner and live at his fathers
home. An ''income voter" is not re-
quired, as all other voters are, to live
in the district where he wants to vote
a year, but can register any time.

Sealing Wax St Ill Used In Franco.

In France sealing wax has by no
means gone out of use as conse-
quence of the introduction of gummed
envelopes. There is even sort of
code or language Of sealing wax
among ia shionable people. White
scaling wax is chosen for communica-
tions relating to weddings, black for
obituaries, violet for expressions of
sympathy, chocolate for invitations to
dinner, rcd for business, ruby for en-
gagged lovers letters, green for letters
from lovers who live in hopes, and
brown for rcfusals of offers of mar
riagc, while blue denotes constancy,
yellow jealousy, pale green reproaches,
and pink is used by young girls and
gray between friends.

and daughter to spare him and stay at
home. He does not care n copper for
the public, but he fears these gentle
foes of his own household, and it is n
great relief when he can persuade or
bribe them to stay at home. This he
often docs-so far as he knows.
The day he made his speech closing
the debate on the tariff, Mrs. Reed and
her daughter naturally desired to hear
it, SO they said quietly but firmly in
the morning that they would go up to
the house. At first Mr.. Reed was dip
lomatic. He offered no objection, but
in persuasive tones pictured the dis
comforts they would be subjected to
from crowded galleries and bad air.
The private gallery, he urged, would
be as packed as the rest, and as for the
debate, the tariff had already been
talked to death, and had not n shred
of interest left. To all this and much
more of like tenor they replied that
they enjoyed crowd now and then.
and that they had no fear of bad aiH
and if the tariff had been talked to
death there was nothing they would
like SO much MS to witness the funeral.
Then Mr.. Reed threw diplomacy to the
winds and fell upon his knees, SO to
speak, begging them to spare him the
ordeal of their presence at his speech
making.
"Now, girls" he said, appcalingly,
''you know can't do anything if you
two are up there looking at me. Kitty,

mother will be responsible. 1 really

some extent. President Garfield ap
pointed him solicitor general, but the
senate rejected him. In 1882 he was
appointed secretary OF the navy by
President Arthur, and served until
