Hack Writers.

The iourneymen writer's write al
most all that almost all Americans
read. This is fact that we love to
fool ourselves about. We talk about
Literature" and we talk about
"hack writer's" implying that the
reading that we do is of literature.
The truth all the while is we read
little else than the writing of the
hacks, living hacks-that is, men
and women that write for pay. We
may hug the notion that our life
and thought are not really affected
by current literature, that we read
the living writer's only for uti.i-
tartan reasons and that our real in
tellcctual life is fed by the great
dead writers. But our huggiug this
delusion does not change the fact
that the intellectual life even of
most educated persons, and certain
ly of the mass of the population, is
fed chiefly by the writer's of our own
time. Let us hope that the great
writer's of the. past do set the stand
ards whereby a few judge the writ
ing of the present. But even if this
be true it is still true also that the
intellectual life Of the American
people is chiefly shaped by current
writing.-Waltcr II. Page in Attain

Whore Opium is Used.

The smoking of opium began in
China and is peculiar to the Chi
nese. The Hindoos and Malays eat
it. Complicated and widespread as
the smoking habit is today, it is a
modern custom as time runs in Chi
ma. There seems to be little doubt
in the minds of those "Sinologucs"
who have traced the opium thread
back through the tangle Of early
missionary reports and imperial
edicts that the habit started either
in Formosa or on the mainland
across the straits, where malaria is
common. Opium had been used
generations before as a remedy for
malaria, and these first smokers
seem to have mixed a little opium
with their tobacco, which had been
introduced by the Portuguese in the
early seventeenth century. From
this beginning, it would appear, was
developed the rather elaborate out
fit which the opium smoker of today
considers necessary to his pleasure.

What You should Do If Foreigu
Body Enters There.

What You should DO If Forcigu
Body Enters There.
A most alarming accident and one
which is often as serious as it looks
is The sucking into the windpipe of
morsel of food or some other sub
stance. This is not a very. rare ac-
cident, especially with children,
whose hold all, after the pockets are
crammed, is usually the mouth.
The articles which have been
drawn into the larynx through the
sudden taking of deep breath are
of the most varied character, such
as iackstones, nuts, marbles, coins,
buttons and pins, not to mention
burs, corks, tin whistles, brooches,
shawl pins, hairpins, false teeth and
oven real tooth which slipped
from the forceps just as it had been
extracted. Pieces of food are somc-
times inhaled through hearty laugh
ing or excited talking while eating.
The entrance of the foreign sub
stance, even if it is only water,
causes violent coughing and spas
modic closing of the larynx, which
almost amounts to suffocation. II
the body has passed through tho
larynx into the windpipe or has
been thrown out this suffocative at
tack passes off and the sufferer may
think his trouble is over.
Sometimes it is, il the coughing
has expelled the intruder, but II
this has fallen below the larynx the
condition is very serious. The body
may be expelled during another yio-
lent fit of coughing, but often it
can be removed only by the opera
ton of opening the windpipe,
known as trachcotomy.
The danger of the accident de-
ponds much upon the size and ma
ture of the substance inhaled. If it
is a hard, smooth and rounded body,
such as melon seed, small mar
Bile or pebble or the like, there is a
very good chance that it may be ex-
PEELED in the same way it entered.
To favor this expulsion the pa
tient should lie down, with the head
lower than the feet, or he may be
held up for minute or two by the
heels in order to get the assistance
of the force of gravity. This, how
ever, should only be done if the doc
tor is at hand to perform tracheoto-
my as last resort, because the for
eign body may become fixed in a
narrow part Of the larynx and so
cause suffocation.

story of tho Plant's Strange Introduo.
ton Into England.

ton Into England.
Not long ago there appeared on
the table of lady who is an en-
thusiastic gardener dish which
puzzled her palate. She could not
decide whether it were a singularly
turnipy potato or remarkably po-
tatoey turnip, and whichever it was
she did not like it. She summoned
the cook, and inquiry presently re-
yealed, to her dismay, that it was
neither, but some of her choicest
cactus dahlias, innocently mistaken
for vegetable.
The error was less disastrous than
the famous one Of the Dutch house
keeper who during the prevalence
of the historic tulip mania acciden-
tally boiled for onions handful of
tulip bulbs worth a fortune. But it
was certainly vexatious as well as
funny.
According to historic tradition,
the original introduction of tho dah-
liza into England occurred through
an error exactly opposite in charac-
ter. 1t was imported for yegeta-
BILE and turned out flower.
a little over century ago, SO the
story runs, Lady Holland, travelling
in the south of Europe, was RECALLED
upon a soup of delicious flavor,
which her hostess informed her was
called Palestine soup" because its
chief ingredient was the Jerusalem
artichoke.
Lady Holland, always on the
alert for interesting novelties, or
dered root of the artichoke to be
sent to her gardener at Holland
House. This was done, as every
body supposed, but when the strong
shoots, thrusting up boldly in the
vegetable garden, and, tended under
the Watching eyes of gardener, cook
and great lady, arrived at maturity
and bloomed, they bore new and
splendid flower, inedible, but glori-
Gus.
The plant was transferred to the
parterre and became the pride of
the garden, although at first Lady
Hollands feelings were mixed, for
she did not like to lose her "Pales-
tine soup" But when London
scotsman came to look at it and of
fered 80 guineas for the root her
last trace of disappointment vanish
ed, and her husbands graceful trib-
ute, which was soon passing from
Hip to lip through the fashionable
drawing rooms of London, added
the final touch to her satisfaction.
Lord Holland, who had a pretty
taste in verse, wrote gallantly:
The dalilIa you brought to our isle
Your praises forever shall speak
In gardens as sweet as Your smile
And colorB as bright as your cheek.

A FREQ AGENT.

Although the old gentleman with
q red face and choleric temper had
opened the car window five times
with much vigor, he had found it
closed every time he walked from
his doze.
He felt perfectly sure that the
person to blame was the man be-
hind him, who gave vent to a stifled
groan each time the window was
opened. at last the choleric gentle
man turned in his seat.
"Sir," he said Indignantly, "you
are evidently one of those persons
who cannot bear fresh air, but may
1 ask you who controls this window,
the person beside it OF the one be-
hind it%
'1f you could stay awake few
minutes" responded his neighbor,
you'd soon discover that nobody
can control that window, sir-not
even the brakeman or the conduct
