The Properties Of Cocaine.

Travellers in Peru and countries
where cocoa grows chew the leaves Of
this plant for the purpose Of allaying
the sense Of hunger and the feeling Of
exhaustion that accompanies it. At
first the leaves were thought to possess
food elements, but now it Is known
that the cocaine they contain merely
allays the irritability of the nerves that
produce the sense Of hunger. Cocaine
is an alkaloid made from the cocoa
leaf, which has the effect of completely
destroying the sensibility of nerves..
The discovery Of this active principle
Of the cocoa leaf explained fully and
satisfactorily the effect produced by
chewing the leaves. An infusion Of the
leaf might be used with good results in
allaying the gnawing appetite that fol-
lows some forms Of fever or in cases
where the sense Of hunger is due to a
diseased condition Of the stomach. Co.
caine should never be used except on
the prescription Of trustworthy physi-
clan, because 1t is dangerous. The CO.
caine habit is more readily formed than
either the morphine or the liquor habit
and is far more rapid in its work Of de-
struction.

Cupid, Medical
Assistant
By LA TOUCHE HANCOCK
Copyright, 1895. by E. c. PARCELS

Dick Fremont was in an unromantic
state of mind. A little Cupid, which
was holding a finger to its lips and
gazing at him from the top of an ink
stand on a table by his, side, seemed to
warn him that he had been physically
exhausting himself lately. He had been
working too hard. At present he had
pains all over his body. His tongue
was distinctly discolored, and his pulse
was weak. His head was thrObbing,
and there was scarcely a portion of his
body which did not ache. Loss Of time
meant loss of money to him. for he
wrote for a living. If he did not work
he was perfectly aware that some one
else would get ahead Of him. Not that
he had easily given up, but the task
Of putting words together had proved
in his present condition as hard as
carving blocks of stone.
In his extremity he thought Of q
doctor. OF all medical men he had a
horror. At the moment, however, there
seemed to be no excuse for not con-

LESE MAJESTE IN INDIA.

That the doctrine of lese majestic,
which finds no support in Great Brit
ain proper, is applicable to her depend

viction of an Indian editor for describ-

Durbar in hell
The devil seated, grown old and UNI
able to rule, summons candidates for
the succession to his throne. At last
but one remains, a Notwithstanding
old gentleman whom none could

who, according to the lampoon, ha-
-rangues the devil and boasts Of the
refined cruelties he has practiced to
obtain the empire of India He has
spread his power over the people by
forgery, robbery and oppression. He
has violated their religious feelings,
taken away their arms and reduced
them to a state where they are no
longer able to defend themselves when
attacked by wild beasts. He has laid
oppressive taxes upon them and re-
moved their wealth to his far-off island,
whence it will never return. He has

CASE WITHOUT A PRECEDENT.

After District Attorney jerome had
made his agreement in the Perkins
case, Justice Greenmaum of the SUI
preme court asked him. Have you any
authorities to submit in support of
your views; any authorities relating to
any similar act or gifts to other than
political organizations?
Il have not" replied the district at
torney 1--WE have searched diligent-
ly but this appears to be the first in
stance of such an issue having arisen
1t would appear that your honor will
have to pass upon the question whether
there was a felonious attempt without
the assistance of such authorities"
must prove discouraging to the learned
Judge because decisions are so much
the case in hand that authorities be-
come the very lifebloOd of an opinion.
Without authorities the average judge
is all at sea. Yet there must have
been a first authority in each case and
Justice Greenbaum has the oppOrtu-
nifty to establish a first precedent in
this case. He is not bound or hedged
by anything another judge has said,
but he has the responsibility of know
ing that the next judge to consider a
similar matter will be in a measure at
least bound by what he says in this
case. The absence of precedents is
not an insurmountable obstacle, since
it is as much the duty of the courts
to make precedents as to study those
already made. In this way only can
the law have every possible relation of
life covered by a case.

LOVE IN RELIGION.

The religious discussions of the pres
ent day are characterized by the abb
sence of .dogmas and the presence of
ideals. The fierce theologic disputes of
a very few decades since are almost
eliminated and religion has come down
to the application of a few concrete
ideas Religion whether orthodox or
heterodox, and it is sometimes diff
cult to tell which is which, consists
largely of a sense of the presence and
providence of God, reliance upon God
and a yielding of entire loyalty to God.
fore the Christian era and are not con-
Trajectory of the teachings of Christi
anity.
Yet it is not true that the ideals Of
Christianity grew out of the older
ideas of religion. The old world put it's
trust in form. The Christian expe-
rence puts the emphasis on love. Be-
tween love and duty there is no contra
dictiOn but love is not a part of duty
while duty always is to be found in
love.
Love cannot exercise itself upon the
abstract while duty may follow an alb
straction to a bitter conclusion. Hence
we find that the system based on love
has elevated man, made him brother
of all his fellows and amplified the no.
ton of good. Love accounts for the
presence in Christian countries of a
higher, sweeter exercise of justice than
is found in any of the so-called pagan
lands. 1t POUNDS representative gov
ernments and abates harsh statutes; it
endows colleges and builds hospitals;
it organizes charity, moderates national
passions and prejudices. 1t is the
well spring of the supremest self-sa-
crfice in the world.

Asked md AnaWered.

In the "Reminiscences Of Sir Henry
Hawkins" Uord Brampton) a story is
told concerning Jack. the pet terrier
which always accompanied the famous
Judge wherever he went.
On one occasion, when on circuit and
driving to the cathedral Of a certain
city for the preliminary religious serv-
ice, Jack sat beside his master in the
sheriff's coach. The sheriff and his
chaplain, a most solemn looking, ascot
ic high churchman, occupied the oppo-
site seat
His lordship in relating the story says
that the chaplain eyed the dog for a
long time with great uneasiness. Then,
as they neared the cathedral, he seemed
to get alarmed and. In a state Of great
agitation, stammeringly said:
my lord. may I-ah-erask II the
dog is going to divine servicer'
well, l don't know" replied bis lord
ship. II shall ask him. Jack. would

that he doesn't like dry sermons"

Girl Lawyer and Bank Director.

A girl worth knowing and initiating
is Miss Alice Hubbard of Spencer, la
Miss Hubbard is not yet twenty-five
but she has already been graduated
from the Iowa university and from law
school and been made successfully
cashier Of the Citizens Savings bank
of Spencer, manager of the savings de-
partment Of the leading bank in Iowa
and finally a director Of the First Ma
tional bank of Sioux city.
Miss Hubbard finds her legal train
ing of great assistance to her in the
banking business, so much so that she
believes there ought to be a lawyer on
the office staff of every bank. This
would frequently prevent banks from
being defrauded or blackmailed, she
argues, and would also save the con
siderable expense Of retaining outside
lawyers as counsel. She also favors an
examination in law for all men who
wish to become bankers.

1t was during period Of financial
stringency and political excitement
when matters looked very black indeed
to the nervous and pessimistic. "Oh,"
said a member of this class to finan-
cier of the day, do you think the coun-
try will ever get out of this trouble?"
"You remind me of something 1 saw
in Saratoga" said the financier. "An
English visitor was driving In white
fannels, and very swell he looked, but
when he was about three miles out it
started to rain.
Doubtful whether to go ON or re-
turn, he hailed passing farmer. Now,
my good man. he said. can you tell
me If it is likely to stop rainingY

and harder yet at his Questioner.

Flora Davis Carson.

The most successful business woman
in Indiana is said to be Mrs Flora Da-
Wis Carson Of Shelbyville and Indian
apolis. Entirely through her own eff.
forts she has acquired a fortune of
100000. Her career is wonderfully in
structive to American girls.
To begin, she had the commercial in
stinct. When she was only twelve she
opened a little millinery shop in Shell
byville. She was not yet out of school,
however. SO she recited to teachers of
evenings the lessons she learned in
snatches Of time during the day. She
became even in her early teens the
fashionable milliner Of Shelbyville.
Never once did she look forward ia
giving up business" when she mar
ried. but went ahead all the same. As
she accumulated money she invested
1t and enlarged her business.

A Finnish Girl In America.

There is in this country one trade
any girl at any time can turn to for q
living and a good one That Is house
work. Twenty-Five years ago Maggie
Walz. sixteen years old, came to Amer
lea from Finland. She had previously
made up her mind that she would not
remain an underling. but would work
her way to the top financially and 90
cially. even though she began her q.
reer doing Homework. She had grit
and the commercial instinct She work
ed as a hired servant in Michigan
kitchens and learned English. Soon she
obtained an agency for the sale Of
books and newspapers. Meantime she
saved her money. When she had
enough Maggie Walz made a TIP to
Europe. Returning, she became a clerk
in a store. She went to college two
years. Next she invested IN some real
estate
Now Miss Walz owns a $4,000 bust
ness block in Red Jacket, is publisher
Of a journal in the Finnish language
and has been appointed an agent to su-
perintend the colonizing Of Drummond
island in Lake Huron.
