cline to motiveless gayety or maudlin sensibility. Nearly all habitual hash ish eaters become unnaturally active and restless. In the last stages a drowsy stupor is characteristic, also restless muscular movements, more or less insensibility to pain and touch, and very often impaired power of To- comotion. Hashish carries with it a voracious desire for food. The invari- able physical end is blotched and bloated faces, congested eyes, and weak and tremulous limbs. It gradu- ally paralyzes both mental and physi- cal energies, and is far more difficult to cure than the opium habit,
 "Hashish is poison, and is sold only by prescription. But you know how easy it is to obtain prescription for anything in New York, and how easy it is for any person with a smattering of Latin to sit down and write one which, having the appearance of genu- ineness, the druggist cannot refuse to fill.
 Several of the confirmed hashish eaters who come to my shop" conclu- ded the druggist, "have fallen slaves to the drug through constantly using it to allay neuralgia pains. There are hum dreds of sufferers in New York whose only relief from this most unbearable of all pains is hashish, and so they soon contract the habit which is seldom re- linquished until inevitable death or madness claims them.

ARTIFICIAL EYES.

The Lancet publishes some curious facts with regard to the number of false eyes which are turned out annu- ally by different factories in Germany and France The total of these orna- mental appendages made in the Ger man empire is said to amount to the enormous total of two millions yearly; and, at the same time, one French fac tory, out of many, makes three hun- dred thousand in the same pe- riod. But we must not jump to the conclusion that these figures indicate in any way the number of human be- ings who have been deprived of the sight of one eye, for the artificial eyes include those used by wax-ffgure makers, by taxidermists, and even by the doll manufacturers. It is note- worthy that the totally blind never wear false eyes. The person who has been deprived of the sight of one eye sees his disfgurement whenever he looks into a glass, and his aesthetic sense-or perhaps his vanity-leads him to make good the deficiency in the best way he can. In the case of the wholly blind such feelings die out, or are submerged in the immensity of their loss.-Chamber's Journal.

MODERN WARFARE.

Omdurman has taught us a fearful lesson of the possibilities of modern warfare, 1t may be said that the Der wishes threw their lives away by im- petuous onslaught, and that no civili- zed power would have exposed it's sol diers to a fire such as was faced by the Khalifa's brave followers; but the aw- fsll destruotiveness of new weapons has nevertheless received a lasting and blool-curdlng proof. The Lyddite shells, Maxim guns, and repeating rifles Of to-day may tomorrow be discarded for instruments still more diabolical in their power of destroying human life The next Europen conf1agation the first encounter of two civilized na- tions under new conditions, will be a stupendous revelation-some of the effects of which have already been foreshadowed by Omdurman-as to the import of the vast system of military organization which has been forced upon the rival powers of the west We shall find the combatants handling. colossal armies such as have never before been put in the field; and with this multiplication of war materials will come an increased strain on the tactical genius of those in supreme command.
 These huge numbers will bring fresh complications in their train The points of simultaneous attack or de- fence will be largely increased, and it will become more difficult than ever to keep the threads in the mind of one directing intelligence With in- creased numbers must be reckoned the formidably augmented difficulty of transport and the provision of an ade- quate medical staff. Then it must be remembered that these stupendous armies will be provided with weapons which are being rendered more deadly year by year; that they will fire out of machine guns and repairing rifles pro- jectiles and bullets against which no ordinary means of shelter are proof and which inflict wounds that no sur gical skill can remedy To expose troops to this leaden storm would mean instant annihilation; a charge of the Light Brigade under modern condi- tions would be an impossible feat neither horse nor trooper could get within three hundred yards of the enemy's lines.
 War will, in fact, be game of chess An elaborate series of manoeuvres will lead up to possibly bloodless victory. The most slsilful strategist will win the day by sheer military science. No general will dare to place a battalion within range of the enemy's guns. A hideous mistake on the part of a com manding. officer would result in car mage that might instantly annihiIate a regiment; and by a blunder of the staff the entire forces of a nation might be wiped out of existence in ten minutes. That is the appalling prospect which stares civilization in the face to-day. London Saturday Review

 Wallingford, Oct 16,-Never has this borough been excited as it has been to- day. It was occasioned by raid made by the Law and Order league and at one time a riot seemed imminent. In fact, it is asserted that the raiding off, cers pulled their revolvers on the as- sembled crowd, and. it is known that one timid person among the assembled numbers asked that the military be called out, but this last demand was not compiled with and the matter finally wound up without any bloodshed, but, according to the statement of Secretary Thrasher of New Haven, will result in interesting developments
 According to Secretary Thrasher, there have been several violations of the Sunday law. which have been ig nored by the local authorities, and as a sequence number of the prominent prohibitionists assembled and decided to invoke the assistance of the State Law and Order league. AS the results of the efforts made by the local people Secretary Thrasher met Dwight Futile, the prosecuting attorney, with the re- suit that Justice Judd of the borough swore out three complaints. The raid to-day was made upon Denny Rogers, at the corner of Center and Colony streets. and besides the bartender sev- eral persons were found drinking in the place and they were put under arrest. The raid was made about o'clock this morning under the auspices of Agent McClaire, who conducted the noted Mill ford raid and others in several parts of the state The time proved very in opportune, for when the fact was made known 1t required but short while when fully five hundred people gather ed about the saloon and the so-called .spotters" were hissed and hooted and treated so bosterously that when Agent McClaire came out he thought 1t was necessary for protection to draw his revolver, but no violence was at- tempted, though the crowd did not he's itate to express their opinion of spot ters."
 Agent McClaire and his deputies finally reached the livery stable of MT. Booth, and inasmuch as the crowd fol- lowed the Law and Order league men, Mir Booth who is a deputy sheriff, felt obliged to read the riot act. The story can be briefly told by saying that Wal lingford was more than excited. There was no clash of authority, and there will be more than sensational court de- velopments if Secretary Thrasher keeps good his promise. The several persons caught in the saloon were each held under s25 bonds for appearance in the local court tomorrow.

Patrolmen Taylor and Recor of the Dixwell avenue station yesterday morn ing made a raid on Patrick Lees sa- loon at 166 Ashmun street. They found four men drinking bottled beer in q room just over the saloon. When the policemen entered the men attempted to throw the beer out of the window. The facts willtbe made known to the prosecuting attorney.
