EUROPEAN ETHER DRINKERS.
Growing Popularity of the Deadly
Drug Alarms Paris Physicians.
New York Herald


French physicians are at present Won
derng whether there is any method by
which the present rapid spread of ethero-
mania can be effectually checked. One of
their number died few days ago through
taking an excessive dose of ether, and, nat
uarny, they are anxious to find a sure rem
edy for the evil. For some years the habit
of drinking ether was confined to England
but recently it spread over the continent Of
Europe, finding an especially congenial
home in Paris. where it soon took fast hold
of large number of persons of both sexes
According to a French writer 'the number
Of those who drink ether in Paris is quite
as great now as those who drink spirits
and. as the intoxication produced by ether
is more refined and less appreciate than
that produced by spirits, the natural result
is that it is daily causing increasing raw
ages among the population of the city.
In Paris hundreds of persons drink ether
every day, as in other cities men drink beer
and whisky. the favorite plan being to mix
it with little spirits and sugar This
makes a seductive drink and one which
rapidly brings about intoxication. The true
ether drinkers. however, drink the stuff
pure their regular dose, which is repeated
several times day. being from eight 20
fifteen grammeS.
Intoxication comes and goes quickly. The
first symptoms is a state of violent excite
ment accompanied with abundant saliva
ton, and this is followed by convulslons
resembling those produced by epilepsy. If
the dose has been unusually strong, there is
complete stupor. but there are no symptoms
like those of delirium tremens. except in
been drunk at the same time. The effect
of the spirits is then quickly observable.
1t may be claimed then, and justly, that
the intoxcation produced by ether is less
degrading than that produced by alcollo,
but on the other hand. the former is far
more dangerous since it leads either to
madness or death and very quickly pro-
duces profound changes in the character
and health of ITS victims THE ether
drinker," says well-known specialist lis
1uarrelsome fellow and a liar, being alto
gether in a highly nervous condition and
Constantly suffering from gastric troubles
and nervous prostration. Like the opium
eater. he becomes a slave to the habit and
hence cures are exceptional
The origin of this singular craze for a
most deadly drink is rather obscure. Some
say the Irish peasants began to drink ether
about 1910. at the time when Father Mathew
started on his famous crusade against in
toxicating drinks. while others claim that
doctors are to blame for prescribing ether
too literally. However this may be, it is a
fact that an enormous quantity of ether is
annually consumed in Europe. and eSpe-
ciaIly Great Britain and Ireland

SUICIDAL DOCTORS.
What Is the Explanation of n Re-
marI<abIe Fact Shown by Statistics.

PltISDufS DlSpdtcn
Statistics show that the medical profess
sion is more prone to suicide than any 9TH
er. During the last three years the number
of suicides occurring among physicians has
been respectively 45, 40 and AZ per annum,
an average of nearly one to two thousand !;
or, as the death rate among the physicians
is about twenty-five to one thousand, near
ly one-fiftieth of all the deaths in the pro-
fession have been by suicide.
1t has been suggested that an explanation
of the tendency may be found in the de-
velopment of morbid fancies in the mind of
a doctor, on account of his constant as
ISOLATION with the sick and dying, or be-
cause he has the requisite knowledge of
how to die painlessly and conveniently.
A medical journal diSsents from all these
views and holds that the leading factor is
the accessibility of the poison drugs. which
ara almost invariably used.
Suicide is largely a matter of insane i'm
pulse. Imagine man fatigued in body and
depressed in spir1tS-as the doctor very
often is-swayed by an overwhelming con-
victiop of the utter WEAKNESS of life to
the impulse of suicide. If he had to put on
his hat and walk TO the drug store and tax
his ingenuity for a lie with which to explain
his desire for poison he might postpone the
fatal act from mere inertia, or he may meet
a friend or have his interest in life aroused
by one of a multitude of everyday occur
rences or physical exercise may bring him
to his senses.
If however, as is the case with almost ev-
cry DOCTOR he has simply to feel in his
pockets or walk across his office to get a
deadly poison, the impulse may be carried
into execution before anything can happen
to supplant it in the brain.

RECREATION PIERS.
Way of Providing Pleasure for New
YOrlx's East Side.
Municipal Affairs.

On very hot days when New York city
sweltered under the torrid rays of a scorch-
ing sun. young mothers by the hundreds
could be seen with babies in their arms oc-
cupying the setteeS upon the recreation
piers, and many of them eating luncheons
purchased at the pier at prices which pre-
vail in our public parks. On the promenade
at night when thousands gathered, could
be seen a cosmopolitan collection of human
beings not to be duplicated anywhere else
in the world. The strong, intelligent faces
and sturdy physiqueS that characterize so
large a part of our East Side population,
ceiyed in the struggle for existence. When
the band plays a popular air the musical
instinct which seems to be part of their
nature asserts itself, and they can be heard
hummng to the accompaniment of the
band playing Rosie O'Grady," or the air
of some other song. This musical instinct is
one of the most conspicuous characteristics
of the people coming to the pier the major
part of whom are Polish or Russian Jews
with a strong admixtuTe of Germans. Hun
garians and other nationalities. When the
band ceases to play about 1880 p. M, they
dispense in as orderly a manner as the aver
age New York crowd leaving a theater 1t
is impossible to visit this Third-street pier
either in the day or evening and see the
thorough enjoyment gotten out of it with
out concluding that the welfare of the COM
munity has been materially benefited, and
the health and happiness of the people i'm

the cheapest and most effective methods of
promoting order and harmony among the
people, and of intoxicating in them respect
for the laws and for those charged with

ent of the inventors along that line. 1t Is
very difficult TO clean the seed, because II
is SO light and fine. It is mostly done by
suction and will continue as il now Is
suppose until the seed industry becomes
great enough to have something better
Nearly every State in the Union buys
bluegrass seed. and the grass will grow in
every State. 1t IS used for pasture grass in
the West and for lawns in the East and
Northwest. The soil for bluegrass pasture
must be clayey and tough. so that its roots
pulls on ii. IT will grow well on loose
and loamy SOIL but it must be for lawns
there, for the stock would have 1t pulled
out in short order. While the famous blue
grass region is distinctly limestone that
kind of soil is not necessary to produce good
bluegrass, as the pastures in many States
will show However, when you want the
best, there is only one place earth to
find it," and the Kentuckian blushed.
las / said, the seeds are shipped to near
ly every State in the United states, and
third of the crop goes to European coun-
tries. principally France, Germany and
Great Britain, but whether they use 1t for
pasture or lawns ] don't know. Speaking of
this foreign shipment we can calculate that
cry year At least. it takes half a bushel
to the acre and Europe takes say, lo0UVU
bushels of seed a year. But Canada doesn't
do anything like that. On the contrary,
Canada ships a lot of coarse seed down to
this country to rascally dealers here. who
mix it with our good Kentucky seed and
sell the adulteration as genuine Kentucky
bluegrass We got some tariff to knock that
business in the head If possible.
Yes" concluded the narrator, Paris and
Winchester ship more bluegrass seed than
all the world combined, and last fall, you
remember. when that newspaper man sent
Major Mckinley a bushel of bluegrass seed
to put the velvet on his lawn at Canton. he
got it from Colonel Gay, of Winchester, a
sound-money Democrat and one of the half
dozen bluegrass seed cleaners in the entire
terrestrial limits.

Navajo Indian Weaving.
New York Tribune.

"In the art of weaving the Navajoes ex-
eel all other Indians in the limits of the
United States" said r. G. Johns. of Santa
Fe. IN fineness of finish, artistic design
and variety of pattern, the Navajo blanket
is ahead of any of the handiwork OF the
other tribes. They are clever enough to
weave blankets with the different designs
on the opposite sides. but of late years
their work has deteriorated somewhat be-
cause of the substitution of inferior anilne
dyes bought from traders for permanent
native dyes formerly used, and also on ac-
count Of the yarn got from the same
source. instead of that laboriously twilled
by the hands of the Indians. They are
great at weaving belts, sashes, carriers and
saddle girths. The Navajo woman finds
her greatest diversion in this occupation
and the acquisition of money is by no
means the chief motive that actuates her
in producing a blanket that is really a
WORK of art for after wearing a little while
till the charm of newness Is gone she will
sell it at a price that doesn't at all com
pensate for her time and labor. The
wealthiest Of the tribe will Weave just as
assiduously as their poorest neighbors.
which goes to prove that they regard it
as more in the light of pastime than toll !"

BANKS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
How Saving and Thrift Is Taught
Children in massachusetts.
Kansas City Journal

hdilSdS lily JouIudl
II had never fully understood until this
summer just why it was that the Yankees
were such thrifty people and We're always
able to save something, no matter where
they were placed or what circumstances
they faced" said George Trainor, of Dem
yer, at the Coates House yesterday. II
have always lived in the West, have seen
plenty of thrifty people from New Eng
land and now ] understand why they are
thrifty. They are trained to thriftiness IS
children. III give you an instance:
"They have savings banks in the public
schools down in Massachusetts, and there
is the greatest rivalry among the pupils
to see who can earn and accumulate the
most money during the terms. That was
new idea to me, and ii Is a very amusing
one to a Westerner who has liberal and
somewhat care-free ideas of economics. For
five years in the Huntington school Of
Campelo Mass, the savings bank has been
in operation and during that time the pu-
on deposit nearly $1,000 10 be exact, the
sum is $3.50 That was shown at the
port last Christmas. In the five years
there have been accounts opened with S57
pupils ana their deposits have ranged from
/ penny to 81. Little fellows who pick up
a few pennies at q time have heen able to
gather up few dollars IN the course of a
year, while others who had better chances
have been able to save several dollars. and
make a tidy account. The deposits are kept
with the teachers and are carefully placed
where they draw n little interest, all OF
which goes to the credit of the depositors.
1T was a fact made very prominent in
the report Of the school that pupils who
were in the primary department when the
savings fund was started and begun busi-
ness with it are still accommodating as they
go up in the grades Of the school and some
of them have been able to gather up snug
sums. The habit of thrift and acCumula-
ton is the one that is desired. 1t was q
new idea TO me and impressed me very
much. II education Is for the purpose OF
