The Drug Habit.

Men of talent and brilliance whose
mental products have pleased and as
tonished the world and women around
whose fascination and charm has re-
volved many a distinguished social cir
Gle have fallen alike victims to this
insidious and degrading habit. The
false idea that better and more original
work can be done by means of such an
unnatural stimulus has been the ruin
of many noble characters. Whether it
be cocaine, morphia, antipyrine, phe-
nacetin--the shameful list grows al
most daily-the fact remains that the
highest mental and moral principles
of the drug habitue are slowly under
mined and dragged down 10 the dust.

practitioner in prescribing these potent
remedies are. therefore. very consider
able. while those of the dispensing
chemist are hardly less.-London Medi-

Morality Versus intellectually.

AS man grows older he perceives
that the moral qualities are worth a
good deal more in friendship than the
intellectual qualities and that no bril-
liancy of mind, no charm Of conversa-
ton, can make up for lack of loyalty,
charity and generosity in social inter
course. Young men Of brains are dis
posed to value mainly mental power
in other people, and it is a human
quality to forgive much in men and
women of genius. This is a false ap-
probation Of the respective values OF
mentality and the moral qualities. Inc
time comes when a man learns that
and affection are better
in wife or friend than intellectual pow
err accompanied by intense self love.
Fortunate the man who does not come
to this knowledge too late.-San Fran

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
The Danger Of OVERRIDING" When Fur
hishing House.

When the summer wanderings are
over the house mother returns to
her home full of eagerness to
brighten the dull spots and replace
shabbiness with freshness. Often
new furniture is needed or a rug
seems indispensable or draperles
must be renewed, and the absolutely
right articles must be selected or
the money expended is practically
thrown away, as far as beauty Is
concerned, says Modes.
The charm of a room depends
less on the cost of its furnishings
than on their careful selection and
arrangement. a single piece OF
furniture, expensive and handsome
in itself, may spoil an entire room
by its appropriateness. The most
beautiful cabinet of carved Flemish
oak would be intolerable in the gold
and white daintiness of Marie An
toinette room, while a gilt cabinet
of exquisite workmanship would be
cheapened by introduction into an
apartment furnished in a massive
and solid style.
1t is always wiser, unless one has
a specially cultivated taste, ample
means and wide experience in IN
terror decoration, to choose furnl-
ture of simple design. Ornament
is often dangerous, as the tendency
is likely to be gaudy and snowy I'M
less executed by an artist. A beauti-
full room is one that is restful, con-
veniently arranged and interesting,
not necessarily one full of expensive
chairs and ornate (and frequently
unnecessary tables.

The Robher Crab.

In Central America there lives the
robber crab, of almost incredible size
and somewhat resembling huge spl-
der. The distance between its extend
ed claws is sometimes as great as
twelve feet. 1t spends the greater part
of its life on land and climbs the cocoa
nut trees. on the fruit of which 1t lives
almost entirely 1t digs in the ground
deep tunnels and lines them with CO.
coanut fiber.
When engaged the robher crab can
break a mans limb with its powerful
claws. Animals approaching it too
closely often receive an ugly pinch
which they do not soon forget and 1t
is OH record that one Of these crabs has
captured and tried to drag off a goat.
To open cocoanut the robber crab
removes the bark from the end con-
tanning the three eyes, one only OF
which is easily penetrated, and. having
found this, it revolves the nut against
the point of one of its spindle legs un-
til the opening is large enough for II
to insert its great claw. With this II
breaks the shell, grinds the contents
into small pieces and carries them to
it's mouth.

The Enam on Soda Water.

Foam is natural product, being
caused by the escape of air or gas from
a viscid liquid. In the case of soda
water it is the escape Of the carbonic
acid Gas from the sweetened beverage
that causes the attractive sparkling
appearance, but the sweetened water
alone would give rise to but small
quantity of foam, as the gas would
too easily escape. In order to prevent
this some mucilaginous substance is
usually added to the sirup, which rem
ders the mass more viscous, so prevent
ing the gas from escaping and produc-
ing the attractive head Of foam so
familiar to all.

The Bath Tub Doomed.

Bath tubs will soon become OBJ
solete. Shower baths are taking
their place and have become so pop
ular that no really up to date house
is considered complete without one.
All the new apartments have them
as a matter of course.
TO battle in the old fashioned
way by getting into tub full of
water is not only no longer the prop
er thing, but is actually considered
untidy. How cali one emerge per-
fectly clean apd fresh from water
in which one has been scrubbing the
body?
The ideal club" is the shower
needle bath, and the way to take it
is to turn on a gentle shower while
lathering the body with soap rubbed
plentifully on a bath brush. This
done, increase the shower through
the hot water faucet, letting the
streams come hotter and hotter I'M
til the water can no longer be borne.
Then gradually cool it off, close the
hot water faucet altogether, turn on
a deluge Of cold, revel in it for a
few seconds and jump out for Wig
orous application of towels. Here
you have the body soaped, rinsed,
steamed, cooled and invigorated in
such way as the devoteeS of the old
fashioned tub never dreamed Of
