OF all the vices which have grown and
fiourished npace during recent years In
France. none has taken root with such
tenacity as opium eating. Opium smokers
and opium eaters are today numbered in
the large cities by thousands, and the alb
sinthe fiend Is slowly but surely giving way
to the opium maniac. The government has
become alarmed at the situation, and 1t Is
proposed to fix on this drug an absolutely
prohibitive import tariff. The two towns
where this pernicious habit Is most ram
pant are Marseilles and Toulon, and at the
latter the state Of things Is equal to the
worst corners Of any Chinese town. There
are whole streets where opium dens< are to
be found in every house. In these vile sinks
