Adirondack.

The word Adirondack" comes to us
from the language Of the Mohawks.
With them it was Ha-de-ron- n-dack and
meant wood eaters. This term was ap-
piled in derision to few members of a
once powerful branch of the Algon-
quins, who were defeated by the Iro-
quois and forced to seek refuge in a
fastness of the mountains They were
in great distress, and it is said they
sent messengers to their victors asking
them to make no further war upon
them. as they were reduced to the ne
cessity Of eating roots and the bark Of
trees. A few of them finally escaped to
the north. and others were captured and
held in slavery by the Mohawks. Utica

LIFE IN EASTERN BENGAL.
Conditions which Render the Profuse Use
Of Opium q Neceeeity.

Conditions which Render the Profuse Use
of Opium . Necessity.
In 1867 It occurred to Dr. Palmer at
Ghazipur to treat malarial fever with
snarcotine derived from crude opium
instead Of with quinine. He was re-
markably successful and the drug is
now in common use as an antiperiodic.
But the characteristic Of Indian opium
10 the preponderance in it Of precisely
this element. Can we, then, infer that
opium is prophyl Tactic against malarial
feverP To a certain extent we can, for
statistics show that those who take daily
46 grains and upward Of opium take
enough anarcotine thereby to protect
them absolutely against malarial poison,
while any one taking over 18 grains
will be more or less fortified. It may be
mentioned, also, that the morphine ele-
ment contributes its share as prophy-
lactic In the light Of these facts, it is
interesting to note that in many dis.
tricts opium consumption bears a close
relation to the greater or less prevalence
Of malaria.
In Assam, for example, in the damp
and low lying country on both banks Of
the Brahmaputra, the average annual
consumption per head is 857 grains, the
average for the whole province being
14l, and in the Bhagalpur district Of
the Patna division the most malarious
part has AZ per cent Of the opium shops
Of the district for only ~ per cent of
the population. One Of the medical wit
nesses gave the following lively descrip.
tion of the conditions Of life in eastern
Bengal: when man wants to build a
house, he first of all digs a tank, and
with the earth from which he has dug
the tank he raises mound, and on the
top of that mound he places his house.
"The elevation of that mound de-
pends entirely upon the height to which
the annual floods rise The floods rise
with fair regularity, but sometimes
they go two or three inches higher than
the average, and then the inhabitants
Of those houses have to live on rafts in
side their houses, and their cattle are
tethered up to their bellies in water.
These people have generally no boats.
They paddle about on RATS made of the
plantain tree, and the boys go to school
in what l call wash hand basins They
are earthen gumlas-earthenwa pots
The boy sits at the bottom of the gumla
and paddles to school. f" These poor peo.
pie are often five miles from their near
est neighbor and some 1900, 900 of
them are dependent for qualified med
ical aid on a single European doctor
with one assistant What wonder that
opium is their household remedy, and
that when man, disabled by malarial
fever, finds that dose Of quarter OF
half grain Of pure opium makes him a
new man, and enables him to do the
days work without which his family
would, starve he takes it.-Chambers'
journal.

ANTIQUITY or ,4s msAsLss.
People n All Times Have suAsrsd From
This Disease,

People n All Times Have Suffered From
This Disease.
OF course every one thinks he knows
what measles is and yet very few really
know more about the ailment than the
fact that 1t Is o contagious disease, char
acterized by sore eyes, sore nose, sore
throat and an eruption Of the skin.
The disease is one Of great antiquity,
dating as far back AZ A. d. 900. At
that time, however, IL was oonfounded
with smallpox and scarlet fever. By
many observers smallpox and measles
were always regarded a. one and the
same disease. differing only in degree.
This misinformation was not dispelled
until 1870, when Sydenham. an Eng.
lish physician, declared that they were
distinct diseases.
About the origin of measles little is
known. At the present day the disease
is found all over the civilized world. Il
is not known in uncivilized countries.
It has always been claimed that the dis
ease was due to q specific poison, but
the nature Of it was not known. Quite
recently, however. European bacteri-
ologist named Czajikowski reported that
he had found micro organism in the
blood Of a person suffering from mea-
sles, which he believed to be the cause
of the disease. Measles is unlike some
other contagious diseases, in that it is
no respecter Of persons or places. It af-
fects all sorts and conditions Of people.
What better illustration Of this is need.
ed than the present case in the first
household of the land? The disease is
one of the most highly contagious all
ments known. It is far more contagious
than smallpox, but the poison Of mea-
sles contains much less vitality than
that Of the latter. The poison Of measles
exits in the breath. the blood, the tears
and in the secretions from the nose and
throat.
Although the disease is usually
classed as one Of childhood, adults
sometimes suffer from it. The adult
cases are usually the more severe In
fants under months are generally con-
sidered exempt from the disease, al.
though there are exceptions to the rule.
Measles is generally looked upon as q
necessary evil Of childhood and one that
deserves but little attention. In SIM
pie case that may be all we'll enough,
but there are usually other contingen-
cies, and some Of these should be guard
ed against. In almost every case the
eyes become inflamed and call for at.
tention. There is usually bronchitis,
which, if left uncared for, may be fol-
lowed by pneumonia and fatal termina-
tion. San Francisco Chronicle.

T.ttooinx By the Maori Race.

Major General Robley is the author
of singularly curious book, "Moko
or, Maori Tattooing." The New Zea-
land war of 1864 6, in which the author
served, gave him this opportunity OF
studying on the spot that now almost
extinct art. The expression, we'll CHS
seled face, meant one thing to Chris
tian sculptor and another to Maori
decorator. The work contains more
than $50 illustrations of designs and
tattooed heads There is no denying the
fact that the Maoris could appreciate
the beauty of lines and curves. One
witnessing the really striking examples
of their architectural ornamentation
exhibited in South Kensington cannot
but regret that they did not work less
upon the human skin and more upon
some other material. In General Rob-
ley's book, which is to be guinea
quarto, beautifully printed, the history
Of the art is sketched and the various
processes explained The second section
of the book deals with preserved heads
many Of which, dating from ITO. are
kept in European museums. 1t seems
there are few. if any, such heads later
than 1881. "when the traffic in Maori
heads ceased" An illustration entitled

Indeed there is no reason why The Her
aid should reduce its price even if its
circulation does fall off, so long as its
advertisers stick. By the way, the ad-

rising circulation or falling one. 1t
is doubtful if any paper ever achieved
success by reducing its price from 3
cents to /, although it has often been
done by liberal expenditure in the pur-
chase of news and brains Value, not
price, is the first consideration of the
public.

mlred. Somehow this refrain rings
in my ears in connection with Mr.
Hearst's policy in running The Journal
1.-THE beautiful, bountiful Hearst. >"
One of Mr.. Hearst's orders to the fore
man of the composing room is: 'tPut on

Newspaper Atmosphere.
There is a vast difference in the at
mosphere surrounding the great New

tremely plain and modest. To reach the
editorial rooms one must climb mar

time building Its proprietor and man
aging editor are both approachab1e and
kindly men. They are not surrounded
by that divinity which doth hedge a
king, as is the case with many others
holding similar positions.
The atmosphere of The Herald Office
is cerem onious to degree and in direct
contrast to the democratic Sun Office.
The Herald pays large salaries. It is
said that the managing editor has the
most lucrative journalistic position in
New York, and that it is not less than
$50, 1000 year. Here take another pinch
of salt.
1t is quite possible to get an audience
with the powers that be of The World
Office without spending time enough to
learn Hindoostanee. The World is al
ways ready to hear suggestions and to
pay literally for them in case of use.
The Tribune editorial staff is some
what sequestered from the rude and
noisome public. Possibly little too
much so. The Times also has peek-a-
boo entrance to its editorial rooms, or
did the last time was there. It's edi-

democratic than The Sun. There are no
modern partitions, no peepholes, no airs
of mystery, no tedious waiting. Any
citizen is welcome, and if you have an
errand in The Recorder Office you can go
in with the agreeable conviction that
you will not be regarded with suspicion.

called the Coach King throughout wes-

men who do nothing but buy horses for

about 500 head of horses. He calculates

THERE are many reasons why United

of these is that in the election preceding
the naming of a senator many questions
of vital interest to the people are sacri-
feed to the senatorial question in choos-

Another is the great amount of time

There is about as much sense in trying

as there would be in trying to make one

harbor are a straight level sandy beach
