The MOrnhine Hnbit.

A work recently published in Paris

morphinomania is most prevalent in
Germany, France and the United States,
although it has victims in Russia,
Sweden, Turkey and the remote east.
The medical profession supplies 40
Per cent. of the male morphinists,
which is the largest proportion; after
which follow men of leisure, IS per
cent; merchants, eight per cent; while
peasants, clergymen and politicians 0c-
cupy the lowest number numerically
on the list. Among the females adj
dicted to the habit, the largest num-
Der, 43 per cent, are women of means,
and these are followed innumber by the
wives of medical men, who make up
ten per cent. of the list. 1t is said that
there are entire villages in Germany

the use of the drug.-Westminster Ga.

in population; on the contrary, the
growth in numbers of dependent peo
pies under an alien and sometimes an
tagonistic government is often greater
than it would otherwise be.
The increase of the population of In
dia, abruptly stopped this year by the
plague, is perhaps a fair illustration Ci
this.
An official enumeration of the populS.
ticn of British India made by the Brit

sive of 47,OOO,0 900 inhabitants in districts
under British jurisdiction but not under
direct British control. This was 81
years ago, and the population of India
at that time was 191 100000 in all. BY
the last imperial census made by Brit
ish authorities, the population of India
was 287, 100000, about twice as great.

EnsInnd's Aftcr-Dinncr Speakers.

Twenty years ago the best dinner
table takers in England were thought
to be Lord Chief Justice Cockburn,
Queens Counselor Judah p. Benjamin,
Mr., Gladstone, Cardinal Manning,
Lord Rosebery and Dean Stanley
Twentyyears before that Macaulay and
Carlyle headed the list. In Dickens
time he ranked as the best after-dinner
speaker, and Sala enjoyed that dis
tinction for a few years before his
death. There is now rather dearth Of
takers and speakers of the first luster
in that country, though both are like
ly to appear at any time. The advent
, of a new Brougham or Macaulay cam
not be expected every day, Dut the pos

There's somethin' my sad heart would

Far from my kisses he'll roam;
But what is the gold of the mountains
To the love that he's leavin' at home?

But no tears in the eye till he kisses good

tim. AS he turned to complete his
work, De NJ. fired, but his aim was I'M
steady, for the bullet glanced off his
shoulder, inficting a flesh wound bu:
increasing his rage to a perfect frenzy.
Catching sight of me, the boar sudden
ly transferred his attention in my di-
rection, and, with a series of ferocious
grunts, he charged.
Stand steady, for your life" yelled
De NJ. Don't attempt to thrust; hold
the spear steady, and he will run upon
it,"
[ felt shock, sparks flashed before
my eyes, then a heavy blow, and after
that all was darkness. When | recov-
cred my senses Hans and De NJ. were
forcing brandy down my throat, while
the blood was pouring down my face
from my nose, which had come in VIC
lent contact with tree in my fall.
Close beside me lay the dead body of the
boar with my spear still sticking in
his body. having transfXed the heart,
while the short ash handle was shat
tered. In short time I was on my feet
and receiving the congratulations Of
my friends on my narrow escape.
This completed the days sport, and as
the day was waning, the bag, one sow
and three boars, were loaded on mules,
and we reached home tired, hungry and
happy, to fight our battles over again.

fire at any other game. Each sports
man, in addition to his rifle anj couteau
de chasse, was supplied witt couple
of short, stout, boar-spears, and some,
l noticed, carried in addition to this
formidable armament, the ever-handy
revolver. The preliminary arrange
ments having been concluded, the beat
ers with the dogs were sent out on their
important duty, which they performed
with a vast deal of shouting and horn
blowing. These sounds became fainter
and fainter as the men increased their
distance from the line of waiting sports
men.
1t was tedious work waiting, and
began to think, as the time passed, that
there was but little game in this vaunt-
ed preserve. But, even as this thought
passed through my mind, heard a rust
ling in the thick cover with the sound
OF light hoof-beats in the short, crisp
turf and rustling leaves, golden with
the hues of autumn, and a noble
antlered buck, followed by two kinds
with their fawns at their sides, bound
ed into the glade. As they espied me
they stopped, as though carved in stone,
listening with ears erect and wide
open, frightened eyes, at the same
time shifting the tainted air Then, as
though actuated by common impulse,
the beautiful creatures bounded for
ward and were lost in the recesses of
the forest. 1t took all my self-com-
mand to refrain from shooting, but to
do so would have spoiled all chance Of
shot at boar, not to speak of the abb
jurgations and maledictions of the
whole party
Presently l heard shot, then a reg
ular fusilade, accompanied by loud
shouts and the baying of hounds, and l
surmised that a boar must have bit the
dust. Again, all was silence. Still moth
ing came in my direction, and [ laid my
rifle on the ground, and picking up a
spear, was examining it and feeling the
edge and point. Suddenly came more
shots. and, like a flash. a magnificent
boar, his name erect, and champino his
tusks till the blood-stained froth flew
in fiecks all over his massive chest. dashed
into view, closely followed by De NJ and
Hans, who were holding back the
hounds. 1t was a critical moment while
the boar stood at bay. To reach my
rifle before the boar would be upon me
was clearly impossible, and there was
nothing for me TO do but to stand my
ground and await the onslaught of the
enraged and ferocious brute, rendered
| doubly savage by the wound in his
chest. As he stood cycling me with his
small, blood-shot eyes, he seemed to
become aware of an enemy in his rear,
and, turning, he charged like a flash
upon the unfortunate Hans, upsetting
him and ripping one of his boots almost
off, the impetus of his headlong charge

A TRIELE CAUTIOUS.
No City Man Could Get Ahead of
Him,

A typical farmer from the interior,
who had evidently come to the city to
spend some of the proceeds of one dol
lar wheat, walked cautiously into one
of the better-class hotels, says the De-
troit Free Press. One of the bell boys
saw him weighted down with a satchel
and coat and umbrella and, as was his
custom, darted toward the door to take
the visitors burdens and pilot him to
the clerks desk. He reached down to
grasp the satchel. Quick as flash the
old mans right arm shot out with his
umbrella and just as Mr.. Bell Boy took
hold of the satChel the umbrella came
down on his back with a whack.
Take that, young fellow!" remarked
the visitor. You can't grab things
away from me. I've heerd Nv how yew
fellers work it. Grab hand bag an
skip afore a man has a chance tew wink.

In French newspaper, attention il
