by electricity. The difference between
this system and the prevalent type of

Lecturer

How His fvisional Defect Discennted ..
81 have faced thousand audi
ences,'' said well-known lecturer
the other day, and have never been
able to shake OF my nervousness OF
the first 10 minutes Scores and scores
of times / have wanted to run away
as the moment approached for me to
step out and be introduced, and doz-
ems and dozens of times / have had
close escapes from breaking down
after making fair beginning. The
merest trif1e will sometimes put lee
turer clean out
: The --LATEST failure 1 ever made
was in town in Ohio. 1 had been
speaking for 10 minutes when cross
eyed man came in and took front
seat He at once crossed his legs,
folded his arms and looked me full
in the face. 1 tried not to see him,
but in spite of myself l found my
glance wandering in his direction, and
he soon began to irritate me- l got
to wondering if his children were also
cross-eyed-which eye he saw the best
with-why he didn't have them
Strengthened, and / felt myself getting
tangled up. 1 fought against the in
nuence and went on all right for 10
minutes. and then 1 noticed that the
cross-eyed man had a pimple on his
nose I thought 1 saw him trying to
look at it, and I just stopped dead still
in my lecture to watch him. For two
minutes the audience was as silent as
SO many dead people, but then they
caught on and began to laugh, and
for another two minutes the hall was
In an uproar.
Il hadn't meant to call attention to
the mans misfortune, of course, but
his feelings were not at all hurt 1t
appeared that he had bought a new
neck-tie at a bargain that day, and as
1 stood there like a stupid he rose up
and bowed to me and said:
Thankee, sir. If you want one too
can tell you where they are sold for
IL cents apiece, and they are the big
gest bargains in Ohioi'
Then we had a hearty laugh all
around, and 1 found my lost wits and
went ahead again, and 1 do believe
that was the most enthusiastic audi
ence of the year.

At least 10000 persons in this coun-
try are victims of morphine and 10 per
cent of American physicians are slaves
to opium in some form, according to
statement adopted by the Medical
News. All recent estimates, the same
authority asserts moreover, indicate
that the use of morphine not only as
a drug to allay pain, but also as an
intoxicant, is daily becoming an in
creasing evil. A physician recently
said:
THE demand for morphine in the
drug stores is increasing at an alarm
ing rate. Traffic in the drug is re-
stricted by law, but the law is practi-
cally ineffectual. Any morphine fiend
who needs a supply knows how to OBJ
tain it, and does obtain it readily
enough and apparently one user of the
drug makes many more.
Before long there is sure to be a
cry for increased restriction. What is
needed, however, is not so much a new
law, but the stricter enforcement of
the present one and vigorous prosecu-
ton of those who connive at the Illicit
traffic in the stuff"

The number of American girls who

discomfort among the Paris public.
Not that there is any personal preJu-

because it is considered that French
