The Royal Commission on the AIco-
hOI Habit.

The New York Sun has nine and n
quarter columns from the pen of Dr.
William H. Draper on the subject of opium
and alcohol, being review of the elab-
crate report of the royal British commits
son appointed by parliament to examine
into the effects of opium on the human
body and mind. The commission took a
tremendous amount Of testimony in
India, China and elsewhere and reached
evidence of extensive moral or physical
degradation from the use Of opium" but
that 1t is contra-indicated in the young.
One paragraph In this review of DIR.
Draper, which we shall quote In full,
reaches a conclusion that will be rather
startling to good many people. 1t says;
One very curious and important state
ment Is that to be made in regard to the
use of opium as TO its effects upon the
tissues and organs Of the body. Opium
does not produce any of those structural
changes in the body which are common
in the users of alcohol Any one familiar
with the chronic cases of disease In our
large hospitals knows how large proper
tion Of them are the immediate or remote
effects of the excessive use of acOhol
These effects are observed In diseases Of
the nervous system, and in degenerative
changes in the blood vessels So far as
can be learned from the most trustworthy
authorities upon the effects of opium
upon the tissues, none of these diseases
arises from the use of opium. Christison,
one Of the greatest authorities upon
poisons used In medicine, says that the
ultimate effect Of the opium habit Is dis
order Of the stomach, sallowness Of COM
plexion, premature senile expression, de-
orepit form of the body. and probably
shortening Of life; but the precise injury
done TO the nervous system, upon which
Its evil effects are Immediately felt, has
not yet been traced TO any appreciable
pathological changes In the tissues All
India authorities agree that the structural
changes produced by opium bear no like

Wheat touched 51h cents last October
BY November it was up to go and to 81
in December. In January 1t touched
G21I, dropped to 90 in February rose to
S61% in March, to 6SK in April, dropped
to SO in May and has since gone to SO
cents, from which there was decline. A
car load of 1895 wheat sold in St. Louis
for 81 90. The time seems short since
the day few years ago when wheat
passed the dollar line on the down grade.
Jay Gould thought when 1t truck S1,05
that the country could get along very well
with wheat at ST. which he considered a
bedrock price. Since then, the agricul-
turists of the country have learned what
it is to get along with the dollar price cut
nearly in two.

We notice in our exchanges a fear that
the effect of a recent decision of the SUI
preme court is to practically annul much
of the temperance legislation of the state
or materially negative its purposes. 1t is
in effect that liquor may be sold on pre-
scription by persons other than druggists
and the prescription reflled as often as it
may be presented If that is to be the
construction put upon the laws as they
now are, the temperance people of the
state will not feel that they have much to
their credit after many years of agitation.

Room for two Presbyterian Churches.

Canton Is large enough to support two
Presbyterian churches. 1t would be but a
question of short time when the second
one would be established in the regular
order of growth. Some perhaps think
that a division Of the old church at this
time is premature, but that is nice ques-
tiOn. Two churches ought to do twice
rs much good as one church. BY di-
vision the incompatible elements become
compatible by segregatihg around new
centers, certain generous rivalry is in
troduced, a new vigor and new interest is
developed and the result ought to make
for good
The brethren will perhaps allow we'll
wishers on the outside to call their at
tention TO the fact that in making such
division of the church there is very
likely to, be developed considerable fric-
tion which will put to a test the stock
of patience and charity which the members
have acquired as participants in the COM
munion of the church. We trust they
will be able to go good-humoredly about
the work of division and maintain to the
end between the different factions the
kindly feeling which the world will expect
under the circumstances

at home; but one Of the first lessons
taught in good society is to observe a
certain pedal reticcnce when in the
company of strangers. 1t is not grace
full to wag the foot in the face OF an I'm
sympathetic viS-a-vis, and when the
inStep is below par, and the ankle none
too round, it doesn't help one to forget
and forgive. A certain Independent
class Of girls invariably neglect this
branch of their department, and some
body should really c~onjure them to

spondence, it is bad form, especially
when postage is so cheap. Refined and
cultivated women do not resort to a
card save in cases Of great intimacy,
where n word or two is sufficient to
indicate the wishes OF the writer; but
to write a familiar note to a distant
acquaintance on this useful business
