cially to those tissues that are con-
nected with the ina aginntion. so that IL
is imagination rather than the reason
ing faculties that is affected by it
This point is brought out into clear
relief In the cases of two of our most
famous authors--Thomas De Quincy
and Edgar Allan Poe.
In the case of Poe, we will take his
early career--that is, before he became
associated with drug addiction. AT col
lege he distinguished himself as bril-
liant but erratic scholar. In spite OF
the reputed drug stimulation to the
centers of imagination, 1T is unques-
tionably a fact that the work OF Poe
turned out prior to opiate enslavement
is superior in every manner and sense
to his later efforts.
De Quinceys celebrated Confessions
of an English Opium Eater" in every
way exenpliiies the truth of this asser-
ton. The feeling of agony he SO elo-
quently describes on finding that his
brain was no longer capable OF any
continuous exertion is pitiable. In bis
own WORDS: II shrdnk from studies
with a sense of powerless and infantile
greater when I remembered the time
when I grappled with them to my own
hourly delight
The point which. the writer desires
particularly To make clear is that
though the drug may in some cases act
us a stimulus to the mental faculties
of a jaded, brain tagged individual it
can in no connection whatsoever force
tho activities to the former normal par
value.
A glass of whisky may put momen-
tary energy into a man on the verge
Of physical collapse. but it were worse
than folly to suppose that under that
transient exhilaration he is the physi-
cal equal OF his former self.
Finding a decade or two ago that
the methods employed for the cure of
this drug addiction were apparently
inefficaclous. the medical fraternity
commenced more scientific and ex-
haustive study OF the problem in hand,
with tho result of evolving out of the
chaos OF old failures three distinct lines
of treatment.
These are based on a varying rate OF
opiate withdrawal. the short method,
the rapid method and the slow method:
the first. abrupt and entire disuse: Sec
ond from five 20 ten days; the third,
one month to one year. Each hal

that along the Ei:alto and in the Red
Light districts embarrassing questions
are seldom asked. There they will sell

the money and know how to buy. Being
fully aware of this, the writer wasted
little of his time in unsavory quarters
but commenced operations on the So
called reputable and respected store.

Physiological Effects.
The most apt and briefly worded de-
scription of the sensations induced by
the taking of opium or morphine is by
Horati0 c. Wood. NJ. D.. LII D.. an ac-
Septed authority in therapeutics. In
effect he says: When opium is taken
in such a dose as TO produce its mild
est physiological effects it exerts a
quieting influence, inducing a peculiar
dreamy condition of bodily comfort and
happy contcntment during which
images and ideas Goat before the mind,

MAN WHO WOULD
KILL PRIEST INSANE
j. c. DeFouilIouX, Who Entered ST.

is Committed to Hospital.

]. C. DeFOuillouX. the man who some
months ago entered the st. Mary :
church one Sunday morning armed
with a club and intent on killing the
priest, Father A. Geyer. was adjudged
insane this morning in the county court
and committed to the WATERFOWL hos
pital by Judge f. +. Parmenter. After
the incident in the church, DeFOuillouX
was bound over to the grand jury, but
that body. after investigating the case,
ignored the charge of assault with a
deadly weapon. and recommended that
an inquiry be held as to the man s
sanity The Frenchman was then sent
to the county infirmary. but Steward
Swank found it impossible to take care
of the man. as he had not the authority
to keep him confined.
DeFouillouX explained at the time
that the reason he wanted to kill Faith
er Geyer was that the priest had re-
fused to give him a dime that he had
asked for as aims a year before. The
man has violent tendencies, though his
mind seems clear otherwise and he has

Chinese Pirates.

Piracy is no new thing in the waters
around HOngkong. AS long ago as the
thirteenth century the island of Hong
kong was a piratical stronghold, and
for centuries the Chinese government
was unable to drive the sea robbers
out. All craft passing what is now
Hongkong harbor were compelled to
pay tribute. The higher elevations Of
the island served as lookout stations.
and no boat that approached was per-
mitted to leave until it had paid toll.
