KILLED BY OPIUM.
Islands Of the Pacific Depopulated
by the Drug.
The French Government First Intro
duced the EVIL and Is Now vainly
Trying to Stem Its Terri
ble Ravages.

w. Hofner, for two years manager
of the Societe Commerciale, which
owns large stores on the Marquesas
and Dominique islands, recently vis-
tied San Francisco. Every two or
three months Mr.. Hoffner was in the
habit of cruising in a boat around these
islands, making numerous landings
This has made him exceedingly famil-
lar with the islands and their inhab-
itants. He says that the natives are
dying off very rapidly by reason of the
use of opium, and that in a 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 to Chronicle report
er ''that lately the French govern
ment has been doing all it could to sup
press the opium traffic, but with mea-
ger success. It hinders it in some
ways, but in the main it is carried on
as before. The French government in
troduced opium into the islands about
twenty years ago, and now vain
effort is being made to stamp out
the evil. 1t is, however, too late
to remedy the wrong. The natives
arc 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 substitute
brandy obtained from the cocoanut
tree, which is even worse than the
product of the poppy juice. The
liquor is nothing. in fact but the
natural san of tho onoOon11f frad Tho
islanders 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 opinm, and / have
seen the poor natives 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 exclusion 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 advance that they
once had. It is so quiet there now
that / think 1 shall return to Chilli,
where 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 immigra-
ton. 1 am not sure that at present
the French government would encour-
age emigration"
Mr.. Hoffner says there are now very
few Americans on the islands.

Ten days loss of time on account of
sickness and doctor bill to pay, is any
thing but pleasant for man of family
to contemplate, whether he is laborer,
mechanic, merchant or publisher. Jas.
%. Jones, publisher of the Leader,
Mexia, Texas, was sick in bed for ten
days with the grip during its prevalence
a year or two ago. Later in the season
he had second attack. He says: tIn
the latter case used Cham berlain's
Cough Remedy with considerable sue
cess, 1 think. only being in bed little
over two days. The second attack am
satisfied would have been equally as bad
as the first but for the use of theremedy. -
1t should be borne in mind that the grip
is much the same as very severe cold
and requires precisely the same treat
ment. When you wish to cure cold

SOME FACTS ABOUT HOSE.
The Different Kinds That Are Required
for Various Purposes.

The Different Kinds That Are Required
for Various Purposes.
Rubber goods manufacturers gem
orally make over a score of different
grades of hose. says Hardware, some
cheap, and which will satisfy certain
needs, while others are more expen-
sive, and are really required for the
purposes intended. It is notnecessary,
of course, to have line of air-hose for
use in the garden, and vice versa, the
article for domestic use would be of
little value elsewhere. a conducting
hose of two-ply will answer every pur-
pose where only slight pressure is
used; but lift that to seventy-five
pounds per square inch, and three-ply
is at once demanded Then the en-
gine hose must be- four, five and six
ply, and; of course, much more expen-
sive. Then some grades are perfected
by the use of superior stock, both in
rubber and duck. Florists require a
heavy hose, as well as do brewers. tan
ners and those who force oil through
it. An eight-ply is frequently used.
For air drills, great care IS used in
both duck and rubber, and canvas,
wire or marline is wrapped around
this variety. For air brakes the ge-
MUS of the rubber trade has been at
work for years, and when it is under
stood that railway trains are length
ened from year to year, the conclusion
can readily be reached that there is
room yet at the top for this, an i'm
provement in the quality that gives
strength. In suctions there are many
varieties used orfire, wrecking, dredg-
ing sand, etc. Some of these are
large enough in circumference to al
low the crawling through of a full
sized man.

EFFECT OF AIR in CAVES.
It Sometimes Causes Nausea to People
with Delicate Noses.

1t Sometimes Causes Nausea to People
with Delicate Noses
In his account of the visit to the
Mammoth cave in Kentucky, DIR. Hovey
describes the peculiar physiological
effects experienced on emerging from
that 1ocality-the sense of smell being
intensified to such an extraordinary
degree that most common objects, such
as trees, plants, animals. and even peo-
pie, had strong individual odors, most-
ly unpleasant, and some visitors are
known to suffer from nausea and head
aches by reason of too sudden change
from the remarkably pure air of the
cave to that of the outside world. Ac-
cording-to Dr. Ho'ey's theory, this in
tenSihcation of olfactory perceptions
is due to the rarity of oifactory slim
uli in the cave, while on emergence, in
keeping with physiological law, the
perceptive powers for these particular
stimuli, having rested, are intensified,
SO that odors too delicate to make an
impression under ordinary circum-
stances are powerfully feft-by the
constant repetition of the ordinary
olfactory stimuli, this effect passing
off. SO that soon only the stronger
odors are registered in consciousness;
that is, consciousness is mainly con-
cerned with the registration of the
contrast between the stimulus of the
moment and a background of confused
and undiTerentiated Impressions; and
though, ordinarily, sensations are in
creased by more intense stimulation,
they may also he increased-as in the
illustration just given-by varying the
background SO as to bring ordinary
stimuli intorstronGcr relief
