COCAINE HABIT GROWING.
Various Methods Of Obtaining the Drug.


men who were suffering with asthma
tc become slaves to the cocaine habit
through the use Of these patent rem O.
dies. Another thing which leads
.uany to the habit is the idea that CO.
cainc is cure for drunkenness. Men
who are in the habit Of going on
spree once in two or three months,
and who are anxious to avoid these
spells, get the idca that ~ :hc liberal
use Of cocaine about the time they
feel their thirst for liquor overcoming
their self control they will get rid Of
their appetite for liquor. They over
come the liquor habit, perhaps, out
the amount OF cocaine necessary to
do SO makes total wreck Of tho
man.
A number of wcll-known physicians
who were questioned as to the increase
in the use Of the drug attributed It &c
the medical colleges. One practition-
CT said that there was no question that
medical students became slaves to the
habit while IN college. "Thcy read in
their text books that the common dis
eases of the throat or nose yield most
readily to the application of mild,
say 2 per cent, solution Of cocaine" !"
he said. Then, after reading this,
they 60 down to the clinic TO study
the work Of throat or nose specialists.
The student sees that in the majority
of cases the doctor administers the
same remedy, and upon inquiry he
finds that it is mild solution of CO.
caine. Even then he is not warned of
the harm that may or is sure to follow
this first application Of the poison.
1t is only matter Of time when he
contracts a cold which affects his nose.
Perhaps he will 60 to the labatory at
once and secure 2 per cent solution
of cocaine; but the chances are that
he will go to the specialist on diseases
OF the nose and ask his advice. 1t is
always the same: "Use mild solution
of cocaine. The student does so and
finds almost immediate relief. This
imprcsscs him at once and the chances
are that he will go on using the drug
until it gets complete control of his
will power. All students arc not af-
fcctcd in this way, of course, but
majority of them are, and they inva-
riably prescribe il for relatives and
friends.
"The drug is obtained largely in
wholesale drug stores, although there
arc hundreds of small druggists in the
city who sell it without prescription.
| suppose that it can be bought in al
most any drug store in the Tenderloin,
where it is used most extensively.
Many doctors are not as careful as they
should be with the use Of the drug,
but when they are constant users
themselves it is really q wonder that
it is not used more extensively than it
is. think that doctors who find it
necessary to prescribe remedies which
contain cocaine should put them up
themselves, so that patients who de-
sire to have the prescriptions renewed
will have to come to the doctor who
prepared it Originally. He will be able
to judge whether the same remedy is
necessary or not, and if it ism he can
easily change the compound himself.
That is the course have always fol-
lowed and have found that it has
worked admirably"

When the Spanish discovered yere.

pearls for ornament and the fishery
IS still hourishirg to-day. More than
900 boats are employed in the work,
each one paying about three dollars
per year TO the government The
pearls are of fine quality. usually
white or yellow and rarely black.
Only recently a white pearl valued
at 5000 was found The shell of the
pearl oyster of Venezuela is small
and of poor quality. The oysters
themselves are short-lived-eivh,
years or so. A French company has
lately been formed to exploit the
fisheries by means of divers. who
take only the mature shells and leave
the smaller sorts, so that the bed.
will not be exhausted. The annual
output of these fisheries is abou,

The chief causes of low yields of

and. if possible, worse cultivation
Even during the terrible drought of
the past season. some farmers made
good crops Why will not farmers gen.
orally catch on?"
Notwithstanding hog raisers and
many breeders. as well, haze allowed
their herds TO decrease in numbers on
account of high prices for feed, the
prices of fat hogs now, and for some

Frequently wet places that pro-
duee more frogs and mosquitoes than
of any crop that can be planted, can
be drained with a good plow and
team, and day or two with a shovel
or hoe. 1t Will always pay to do such
work, because such places, well
drained. are very fertile.
In all the principal markets the
price of hay ranges from $40 per ton.
for common prairie. to SIS for the
better grades. Fifteen dollars per
ton is a ruling price, and about the
average of the markets At such fig
ures hay is very profitable crop.
When drought destroys or reduces
crops, everybody pities the farmers on
the mistaken superstition that they
are the sole losers As a matter Of
fact. it is the rest of the community
that suffer most from a crop short
age In many cases the farmers gain
rather than lose in the high prices
they get for the crops which they do
harvest.
