The hypodermic SPRINGS and morphine

in part responsible. Their prescriptions

the waves exactly understood what was

Success All Arranged.
The plan was described at length in
an article in a scientific magazine, writ

Just how ne would build his Gordon Of
mattresses and how get them 20 the
scene Of so much trouble He had es-

As matter Of serious fact the plan is
thought By the experts of the Lighthouse
Board TO possess many elements OF

in certain catarrh prescriptions, many

After using the medicine for a little

to the pure drug is an easy step.
A danger TO the public lies in the fact
OF the spread of the habit among per-
sons having responsible duties which en-

railway men. signal men. etc.
These men fear to take alcoholic IL

ANCIENT MILITARY SCHOOL
Historic Ground on Which the Youn Men of Louisiana Receive
 Their Training.


 The Louisiana state university and agricultural and mechanical collega is known as the military college of the south says the Baltimore Sun. It isllo- cated at Baton Rouge. and numbers among its graduates many men whoiare now officers in the regular army. Gen. w. T. Sherman was the first president of the institution before the civil war, and, notwithstanding his espousal of the northern cause, his memory is still rev cred at this scene of his former labors, and his life-size portrait in oils occupies prominent place in the handsome as- sembly hall of the college.
 The site of the university is historic ground. It was for many years mill itary post, and the garrisons of France, England, Spain and the United States have all at different periods occupied it. After it was abandoned for military purposes it was turned over to the state of Louisiana for purposes of education. The original buildings, however, still stand, and, with the flag floating over them, present a striking and beautiful appearance.
 Here, in 1779, Calves, the Spanish gov ernor general of Louisiana, after an en- l gagement that lasted for three days, cap- tured the British garrison. The Span l iards were in turn driven out by a party l of Americans, and this marked the ] passing of west Florida from the do main of Spain. In 1861 the confeder- i ates captured the post, and the next year 1 desperate battle, involving both land and sea forces, was fought near by, and the confederate ram Arkansas was blown up in the view of the land bat teries
 Many distinguished officers served here while it was still a military post. Among those whose names are associ- ated with the place are Wilkinson and the first Wade Hampton, Winfield Scott and Zachary Taylor Grant and Lee and Stonewall Jackson, Mcclellan and Joe Johnson, Bragg, Rosecrans, Longstreet, Harney, Thomas and Beauregard, For rest and Phil Sheridan, Hardee and Hood, Hancock and Custer, Admiral Porter and Bishop" Gen. Polk Among tAS ST6dJ 'ClNIlldHS We Iecdll the HdIleS of Abraham Lincoln. Clay and Calhoun and Jefferson Davis There is hardly a place elsewhere in the south so rich in historic associations.
 The university is true to it's traditions. The sons of Louisiana are soldiers by in- heritance, and while they revere the cause for which their fathers fought, nS northern boys are to-day more loyal to the flag which is lowered at sunset every evening to the well-known strains of retreat, while on parade of over 300 ca dets stands on parade at attention. Everything about the university is con- ducted on military lines, and by means of frequent inspections a proper system of discipline is constantly maintained.

CURIOUS HABITS OF WRITING.
The scribbling 8Iicrobe Never Leaves One After It Gains
 Lodging.

The habit of writing is a curious habit and one which may not be out grown, said an old scribbler, in the New Orleans Times-Democrat. Tt seems to be born in the blood It is a part of the nature of some men to write things. Early in life they begin to yield to an inclination to jot things down; to scribble off few thoughts at idle mo- ments, and between times, as it were; to versify bit; to philosophize; to put down maxims and aXioms, and to scrawl thousand and one little nothings which appeal to the fancy from time to time Once acquire the habit and 1t is thine for aye. No amount of change in life's course; no upheavals of fortune, no sudden shifts of fate and destiny; no nothing that may come with the fleet ing years will ever once break the mind from the bent which prompts it to trace in the queer curling symbols which roll out from the pencils point the little playful nothings about which the soul Is wont to dream.
 Dainty, delicate children are these little vagrants which one idly scrawls into existence between times. Often they are bright deep, subtle and of the verities; sometimes they are morose, gloomy, of that sternerstuff which feeds the soul of the hungry pessimists; some times as light and airy as the very foam which bursts laughingly around the ankles of Aphrodite; but whether light, or profound, whether gay or sad, these things of mental loafng, these little pet nothings of mental yagabondage, are sscintillants which cheer and amuse a fellow as he hurries on from one mile- post to another An, for the habit of writingi It pays when the bank fails pays in the sweet consolation one may know from close communion with ones own soul. for man hath not known his soul until it glare at him in such cheap symbols as he may employ in efforts, always short of weight, to speak its weighty sentiments"

A NATURAL sANITARIUM,

Lieut. John p. Flndley while In
charge OF the United States weather
bureau at San Francisco, contributed
an article 60 q prominent magazine on
the climatic conditions OF California,
IN which the following statement APP
peared;
Theoretically, California should fur.
nlsh the best and most varied health
resort and sanitariums IN the United
States Within her borders almost ey.
cry form Of wasting disease should find
the means OF temporary ii not perma.
nent, relief"
This theoretical statement, from an
unbiased. scientific standpoint, Is abun-
dainty confirmed by experience. The
cool and bracing coast climate, devoid
OF any trace OF malaria, extends from
the northern part of the state to the
extreme south. There is the choice be-
tween this cool, humid atmosphere and
the dry, warm atmosphere OF the in
land valleys.
