Cure for Morphine Habit.

Great interest has Deen aroused in
medical circles in Germany. says a
Berlin dispatch to the London Chron-
icle, by the discovery by DR.. Otto En-
merich, of Baden Baden, of specific
against morphia poisoning and that
peculiar form of disorder known in
Germany as "morphinismus." The in
creasing use of morphia among con-
siderable section of society has been
lately exciting much attention. and
medical men have been unable to pre-
scribe any efficient remedy. 1t is
claimed for DR.. Emmerich's discovery
that it has proved irfallible in the
numerous cases in which it has been
applied. 1t is distilled vegetable oil
of intense acidty, two or three drops
of which are taken internally daily.
After a cure, extending from three to
six weeks, patients acquire an intense
loathing for the use of the morphia
needle.

Symphonic Caused by Anger.

A study of anger from experiences
in about 2-GCn eases, collected from re-
liable observers. has been made by c.
Stanley hall. The causes were many
and various. often being very trivial
and the physical sensations accompa-
nying it differed greatly with the in
dividual. Flushing was very general,
although Ia Tor was a characteristic
in - per cent. of the cases. The heart
beats were violent. several cases of
death from rupture of this organ be-
ing reported, and there were SINE
times peculiar sensations in mouth
and throat. sometimes dizziness or
faintness, frequently tears. and gen
orally copious salvation, which might
produce "frothing at the mouth"
Common sounds were animal-like cries
in children. oaths and threats in
adults, while in many cases the throat
was paralyzed. and there was nabili-
ty to speak above a whisper, or with
out crying or trembling. Butting
with the head, biting and scratching
are noticeable in childish anger

LOVE LETTERS TO ORDER.
The Strange Occupation Followed by
Certain PsPsons In the City
of Mexico.

Perhaps there is no more chara>er-
istic sight in Mexico than the so-ca.led
"evangelistas" who ply their trade in
the plazuela de Belem and the plazu-
ella of Santo Domingo, relates the
Mexican Herald.
They write love letters. blackmail-
ing letters and all sorts OIL letters for
those who do not know now to write
at rate OF three. six. nine or more
cents. according TO the length of the
n>,sive They also undertake with
out extra charge to write the ADDRESS
on the envelope and TO attach the re-
quired stamp, but for the latter they
make an extra charge of one cent
One of the Santo Domingo evan
gelistas is now in prison meditating
over the fact that to defraud the gov
ernment even out OF five cents may be
a very serious matter in the eyes of
the law. The name of this .vangsl lis
ia is j. p. Nasquez. His services were
engaged by Mrs. VI. lnez Hernandez
TO write a letter to her husband. who
is absent from the city. After he had
written the letter Nasquez asked Mrs
Hernandez if she wanted stamp.
On her asserting he attached five
cent stamp and collected SIX cents in
addition to his regular charge for
writing the letter.
With the addressed and stampeI en-
velope Mrs. Hernandez went to the
branch post Office in the Exiaduana
building and, not knowing in which
box TO drop it, asked the postal in
spector. Manuel Espinosa, who hap
pened to be in the post Office. for in
formation on the subject Mr. Espi-
nosa took the letter to read the ad-
dress and was about to return it to
Mrs. Hernandez when he noticed that
the color of the stamp was extreme
ly dim. BY still closer scrutiny he
discovered that the stamp had been
already cancelled and the faintness
of color was due to a chemical treat
ment that had been applied for the
purpose Of effacing the ink of the
seal.
The inspector asked the Hernandez
woman from whom she had bought
the stamp and she led him to the
stand of the evangelista from whom
she had made the purchase. The
evangensta at first denied having sold
the stamp to the woman. but as two
other women who had been present
testified that they had seen him sell
the stamp, he was taken to the police
station and from there to Belem

CHINESE NAMES.
Each Person In That Country Has
Several, which Change with
Advancing Years.

Every Chnaman has surname,
which is supposed to date back nearly
if not quite, to the epoch OF the great
Emperor Hwangte. 2o91 =. c. The Chi
nese, says the Philadelphia Record,
pride themselves much on the posses
sion of these surnlmes, and no foreign
er, not even a comtryman of the reign
ig Manchu sovereign. is allowed to bor-
row them, or even officially to use his
own surname in China.
In addition to this surname--or
sing" as is he Chinese term for it
every Chinaman possesses one or more
personal names. In his infant days a
designation known as his milk name"
is conferred upon him and subsequent
ly, on arriving at the age of puberty
ming" or cognomen, is given him.
In after life, more especially if he be-
comes an author, he takes "tsZe," or
literary appellation, and it is by this
that he is afterward best known in
everyday life and in the literary world
Often he adds one or more ''haou,' or
pseudonyms. TO his older names,
which not infrequently he uses on the
title page of his works; thus consider
ably adding to the difficulty of Identify
ing him.
The well known philosopher Choo He
affords an illustration of the number OF
names which Chinaman may accumu-
late. To his sing Choo. was added
his ming" He. Subsequently he ad-
opted the ''tSze,' Yuen-hwuy, and
Chung -hwuy. and at different times
afterward added the pseuG onym ms

FREAK OF DAN CUPID.
Girl Who Can't Speak German WEEDS
Man Who Knows No
English.

There are descendants of Germans
in Berks county, Pa, who do not un-
derstand word of English. although
they have lived in this country all
their lives. One of these is Jacob
Neinsheimer. who owns what he calls
ern slope of Mount Penn, says an east
ern exchange. Until recently he lived
the life of hermit. The hillside lead
ing to Lobenstein is so steep that it
is impossible to use the ordinary
American farming implements drawn
by horses. Weinsheimer's principal
implement is the kind used in very
hilly portions of Germany. He calls
it "karst.' 1t is shaped like a big
horseshoe fastened to wooden han
die. With this he digs and stirs up
the earth instead of blowing and har-
rowing it. lie also has numerous 9TH
er small hand implements. With these
he raises large quantities of vege-
tables, wheat, rye, barley, corn, sugar
cane, sweet potatoes and grapes. He
reaps his grain with sickle and
threshes ii with mallet.
Cupid's dart pierced the heart of the
recluse a short time ago. He was
working for farmer on the hills in
the neighborhood. when he was intro
duced to a Miss March, from Ohio.
She was some 20 years younger than
he, but that made no difference. The
love making was slow, for the woman
could not speak German and he was
unable to speak English. But the
language of love finally made itself
understood between them. He pro-
posed. was accepted, and now hap
pier couple than Mr.. and Mrs. Vein
sheimer would be hard to find.
Weinsheimer is a great admirer of
pets, such AS dogs and cats He is he
owner of black fox terrier which he
says he would not part with for 500
in gold. He is a perfect terror to the
snakes and has killed more than 1000
copperhead and blacksnakes during
the last five years.

HEALTHY BECAUSE CLEAN.

Bat IL PuPo1.

The only reason why mountain air
is healthier than low air is that noun
tain air is cleaner than low air. The
chemical composition of the atmos
phere differs but little, if at all,
wherever the sample 10 taken. On
Pixies peak the relation of oxygen to
nitrogen and other constituents of the
atmosphere is the same as at the level
of the ocean. The favorable effects,
therefore, of change of air are not to
be explained by any difference in the
proportion of it's gaseous constituents
One important difference, however. is
the meteorological one. The air of
high attitudes contains no microbes.
and is. in fact, sterile, while near the
ground and some 100 feet above it mo-
crobes are abundant.
In the air Of Chicago and other
crowded places, says the Chronicle.
not only does the microbe i'm
such as the poducts of combustion Of
coal, accrue also. Several investiga-
tors have found traces of hydrogen and
certain hydrocarbons in the air. and
especially in the air of pine. oak and
birch forests. 1t is to these bodies,

they are not apparently necessary con-

ses have shown. these bodies tend
to disappear in the air as higher al
