A DANGEROUS DRUG.


a very intelligent and thoroughly
posted and read druggist was speaking
to reporter the other day on the sub
ject of the abuses of cocaine in this
city. He is in a position to know exactly
whereof he speaks, and his observations
are interesting.
SIT is perfectly amazing said he,
1.-THE proportions to which the cocaine
trade has grown in this city, and it is
still more remarkable how, with the ex-
ception of a few abandoned white wom-
en-, its use is confined almost exclusive
ly to the colored folk. The average
druggist or physician can tell the CO.
caine iiend on sight, even when his in.
diligence in the vice is in its incipiency.
There is the wild expression of the eye,
the muscular jerkings of the limbs and
other portions of the body, an eXuber'
ant tendency to be always moving, al
ways on the go, and, in fact, general
such that it might be expected the next
moment would result in general phys.
ical collapse.
"IIow on earth these ignorant people
ever learned of the effects of this pow
erful and dangerous drug l am at loss
TO say, but know it is fact that some
drug stores in this city sell enormous
quantities of the stuff to the darkies in
fve-cent packages. The demand for II
is so great that they keep the stuff in
LITTLE naDers which they retail at five
cents, and it is quite frequently the
case that the darby doesn't even open
his mouth to say what he wants, the
trade is so well established. He simply
goes into the drug store, throws down
his nickel on the counter, and is given g
cocaine package without his ever open
ing his mouth-just as he would

SOME GOOD IN TATTOOlNG.
Marks Left by the Needle Frequently Re-

Why should we not all of us be identl'

mark? Men who travel have often
found difficulty in getting checks
cashed in strange places and women
who entertain are frequently taken in
by distinguished guests who prove to
be any persons except the distinguished
ones expected. a tattoo mark regis

so as not to be initiated without pun

bit as useful ON human beings as the
brand Is on cattle. Human beings

DOUBLE-BARRELED DREAMS.
How Broker Deceived His Listeners
Into Credulity.

They were discussing the subject of
dreams and the broker, after hearing
from most of the others, declined to adj
vance an opinion, but said he would rel
late a dream he once had and leave his
hearers to draw their own conclusions.
II was young man of active habits
and anxious to get rich by the shortest
possible method consistent with hon
esty. l found myself in the western
part of what is now tie state of Wash
ington. / met rough miner who said
he was about TO depart for the section
where the Blewett gold mines are now
being operated and wanted me TO go
along His inducement was that We
could realize so cents u pan at placer
mining, which was dazzling bonanza.
II also met Il man whom / had known
in the east and he advised against the
project, because my proposed partner
was under suspicion. He had started
out on half a dozen expeditions with
some tenderfoot and always returned
alone, though nothing had ever been
proven against him. But | resisted all
opposing advice and went. The third
night out we spread our blankets early
and laid down, for we were tired and
storm threatened. 1t must have been
about midnight when ! had the most
hloodcurdling dream. AS plainly as !
see you gentlemen now saw that rough
miner, who was accustomed to losing
men whom he took out, standing over
me with q drawn bowie and about to
plunge it into my breast.
81 could not scream or move to offer
resistance. The very terror of the situ-
alton must have awakened me. The
cold sweat was pouring from every pore
and it was only when l realized the i'm
mediate safety of my position that l
could move. Stealthily | moved with
my trappings TO where my horse was
tethcred, hastily prepared him for the
journey and soon went galloping over
the back trail. l imagined pursuit but
no shots were fired and my escape was
assured"

VARYING Ideas of Beauty.

What constitutes beauty of COM
plexion? To the negro beautiful COM
plexion consists in ebony blackness.
The Tartar and Mongolian races of the
polar regions of America see beauty
only in yellow skins. The Indians ad-
nire brown complexion. Numbers of
barbarous people conceal the natural
tint of their skins under staining OF
many eolors; others are indelibly
marked with general tattooing. The
Greenlanders paint their faces with
yellow and white. The Decanaises stain
themselves yellow and redden thell
hands and feet. OF course, the white
people of America and Europe find the
greatest beauty in the white skins

ROENTGEN RAYS.
Surgeons just Beginning to Get the Ben
eft of Them.


DIR. Macintyre says the opinion held
by many that we have arrived al about
the end of knowledge of the Roentgen
rays, so far as regards practical re-
suits, is entirely erroneous. On the CON
trary, we are only just beginning to re-
alize their possibilities. DIR. Macintyre
believes that we shall eventually be able
to photograph not only the whole hui
man skeleton, in life, but the contents
| of the three great cavities of the human
body as well as the surrounding osseous
walls. 1t was suggested that if the
| bones of the eXtremities were to be
photographed with certain apparatus
in given time, by diminishing the ex-
posture the soft tissues might be caught
before they disappeared. By carefully
| judging the exposure not only the
bones in disease were photographed,
but also the fleshy parts, and this with
such accuracy that the surgeon could
see the internal pathological change
and the external confguration of the
part as well on the same plate. But
when il came TO an examination of the
organs of the body it was found that
the rule did not apply, and instead of
less force more was required. BY Il
special arrangement Of the tube the
heart. sternum and ribs were photo.
graphed on one plate, and when the pa
tent was placed on his back, lying on
the sensitive plate, these structures
were omitted, but the spine was photo
graphed. Following out these indica-
tions, DIR. Macintyre made a series of ob.
servations which led him to the couclu-
sion that for more delicate and sens;.
tive work more powerful currents than
those hitherto used will be necessary.
He asks all those engaged in physical
research to lend their aid TO increase
the utility of the Roentgen ravs. the
half of whose benefits to mankind are
kept in allegiance until the surgeon can
secure instantaneous photography of
every part OF the body.-Cincinnat
