The Effect of Opium.


I heard little about the beautiful dreams
and visions which opium is supposed to
bring; all the smokers with whom ! talk
ed could be roughly divided into two
classes-those who smoked in order to
relieve pain or misery, and those misera-
BILE victims who smoked to relieve the
acute physical distress brought on by the
opium itself. Probably the majority O
the victims take it up as temporary re-
lief, many begin in early childhood-the
mother will give the baby Whit to stop
It's crying. 1t is a social vice only among
the upper classes. The most notable out
ward effect of this indulgence is the re-
Suitlng physical weakness and lassitude
Inc opium smoker cannot work hard; he
mas 1t difficult to apply his mind to a
problem or his body to a task AS the
nabit becomes firmly fastened on him
there Is perceptible weakening of his
moral fiber: he shows himself unequal to
emergencies which make any sudden de-
mand upon him. If opium is denied him
he will lie and steal in order to obtain it.
opium smoking Is costly vice. A
pipeful of moderately good native prod
uct costs more than laborer can earn
IN a day: consequently the poorer classes
smoke an unspeakable compound based
on pipe scrapings and charcoal. Along
the hiGhroads the coolies even scrape the
CRIME from the packsaddles to mix with
this dross.
The clerk earning from twenty-five to
fifty Mexican dollars a month will fire.
gently spend from $40 to so month on
opium. The typical confirmed smoker is
man who spends a considerable part of
the night in smoking himself to Sleep and
all the next morning in sleeping off the
effects. If he is able to work at all it is
only during the afternoon, and even at
that there will be many days when the
official or merchant is incompetent to
conduct his affairs. Thousands of prom
inent men are ruined every year.

New Era of Water Power.

From the Engineering Magazine.
The Niagara hydro-electric development
may properly be cited as representative of
all that can be said of electric power ap-
plication; here the electric current grinds
-four and operates elevators; wood Is re-
duced to pulp and manufactured into
paper; soda ash, bleaching powder, car
borundum, calcium carbide, aluminium and
other products are manufactured by cleo
trio current; shipbuilding, car wheels,
structural steel, steel and malleable iron
casting plants, all employ electric power; a
malthouse uses 300 horsepower; a bakery
and an ice plant are driven by Nelectric
current, and this power operates the
Niagara, Buffalo and extensive suburban
traction systems and lights several cities
and thousands of houses
This Is an illustration of the central
hydro-electric plant. furnishing power 10
shops, mills and public plants without
restrictions of location or distance and
independent of the uncertainties of fuel
supply at a cost far below that of the
most economical steam power service
1t is true that the Niagara hydro-electric
development is the largest in existence
but this fact does not disqualify the. com.
parison, as it differs from other existing
plants or as yet undeveloped opportunities
only in volume of output. The unit cos,
of this output, up to its present scope Is
no lower than can be and is secured under
normal conditions with the smallest de.
velopments.

mass meeting at which one hundred
| or more members of the local Army and
Navy Union garrisons were present was
| held Friday night in G. A. r. Hall for

on within the organization since Sep

manner carried away the garrison charter.
Since that date. 1t is said, the local gar
risons have been awaiting an adjustment
of the differences. but there seems to have
been no Roadway made in the peace
negotiations.
Accordingly a resolution was unani-
mousy adopted Friday night to wait
ten days longer, and if by that time the
dove of peace does not descend upon the
warning forces a separate organization
will be effected under the articles of in
corporation which were recorded in the
office of the recorder of deeds October 3.
The new organization will be known as
the Army and Navy Union of the United
States of America Van A. Zahn. George
L. Snider and Daniel A. Byrne were the
lncorporatorS.
Preceding this action. a brief business
Meeting of Admiral D. D. Porter Garrison
took place. in which resolutions favoring
the bill introduced in the House of Repre-
sentatives by Mr.. Mckinley of Illinois. in
fcreasing the pension of the widows of
soldiers of the civil war, was Endorsed, and
an invitation was accepted from Burnside
Post. G. A. R., to attend its memorial
services in honor of Gen. George H.

1t was stated that in the event of the

Garrisons will meet at the G. A. R. Hall
Thursday evening next, when it Is ex-

will be again discussed.
1t is said the garrisons of the order
throughout the United States will be in
formed of the action of National Com

charter bearing the name of President

1t is stated that Commander Brown,
who was at the Regent Hotel, in this city,
last night announced publicly that the
the members of the local garrisons will be
that they shall come to him and acknowl-

they will make this concession he will is

SKIN WHITENERS.
Tan Removed by Simple Bleaches
Made at Home.

AS tan is no longer considered desirable.
and Dame Fashion DEGREES the peaches
and cream skin of our grandmothers. 1T be-
hooves girls who have been out of doors
all summer to get busy bleaching their
complexion.
Right here would Ike to say that I
believe in simple bleaches rather than
those that act overnight, as 1t were. Any
application that works in few hours is
bound to be strong, and there is always a
possibility of injuring the flesh unless one
takes great care. Therefore, although I'M
questonably there are times when mer-
curial lotions and the like are all right
would advise any woman to stick to the
kinds she can make at home. These, faith
fully used, every day or night, will grad
ually not only whiten but soften the skin
and improve the texture with no chance
of damage.
A paste that will remove>tan is made of
the white of an egg. fifteen drops OF tine
ture of benZoin, an ounce of strained
honey and four ounces of ground barley.
When mixed it should be of consistency
to form a paste. If too dry, lessen the
quantity of barley. This lotion is rubbed
on the face at night. 1t will not keep long
and should be made in small quantities.
1t would be good to put on the hands at
night.
Another paste, also good for blea ching,
and strained honey. Thin this to a sticky
paste with the best quality of olive oil.
Perfume with a few drops of any other
oil If desired. This is particularly effec-
tivesfor the hands and IS put on at night.

When the pulp is soft squeeze through a

To use, put enough tincture of benzoin

DRESS REFORM.
Anti-Corset Campaign and It's Sue
cess in Germany.
From the London Mail.

From the London Mail.
For ten years. writes our Berlin corre-
spondent, the women of Germany have
been making a determined struggle to
bring the 'Reformk.efd' (reform dress)
into general use in that country. and their
labors have been largely successful.
Almost every German suffragette cham
pions reform-dress doctripes. At one Of
the earliest ''woman's rights" congresses
held in Berlin all the delegates appeared
in reform dress, consisting of black, high
fitting, shoulder-strapped skirts, and loose
black silk blouses. Entertainments in
aid of the yeform- clothing movement are
periodically held in various cities of Ger
ton to be held, prizes being awarded to
the best designs for reform dresses. Large
associations push forward the cause IN
Berlin, Munich and Dresden. That the
movement which is fundamentally in
tended to do away with the corset, is
meeting with large measure of success
is evident from statistics recently com
piled, which prove that marked de-
cline is taking place in the number of
corsets manufactured yearly.
The following are the chief principles
which the advocates of reform clothing
set up:
l. Liberation from all pressure upon
any part of the body.
>. Dtminut:on ot the weight of cloth
ing worn. substituting one light, warm
garment for several heavy ones
,. Transference of the weight of the
clothing to shoulders and hips, leaving
the waist unburdened.
4. Cultivation of individuality in dress.
replacing study of fashion by study of
the character and daily life of the wearer.
In Germany the movement as a whole
is not without it's determined opponents
not only among con servative women who
cling to the present style of dress. but
among medical experts. who theoretically
oppose the principle of letting the weight
of the garments rest entirely upon the
shoulders. This principle, they claim,
may easily be as vicious in its results
as that by which the clothing depends
from the waist. Specialists for lung dis
eases declare that where the weight of
the clothes is borne by the shoulders the
latter are exposed to continuous mechani-
cal irritation, which in time has a mark
eddy il-effect upon the lungs. They also
aver that the reform dress has a harmful
effect upon the muscles of the back. since
it forces the vertebral column into an un-
natural position.
The Anglo-American Medical Associa-
ton OF Berlin, a prominent body of Eng
lish and American medical men, also took
stand some time ago against the
shoulder strap feature of the reform dress
movement in so far as it tends to promote
narrowing of the chest.

An African Guide.
From the Travel Magazine.


Modern Tunis holds to one side of the
Porte de France, or old arched gateway
the Arab quarter presses through and con-
trolls the other side. A snake charmer
hurdled his fanged monster in the air as
|, with Hannah, passed under the gate;
an Arab selling sweet-scented flowers
pulled his hood closely over his face on
seeing a stranger with a camera. He
dreaded that 1 should put upon him the
evil eye, while his own look toward me
was shrewd and wicked.
I'VE should perhaps have brought a
guide" 1 said to Hannah, despite her
Submarines. We were then entering one
Of the ve-y narrow streets, or "Souks''
Leading upward through the quarter. I
spoke in English, but our bewildered
look had proclaimed the sentiment.
Madam should have guide was said
in French closely by my ear. Madam
should have one who can take her to see
the bey's palace, the great mosque, and
to Barbouchi Brothers, the greatest orr
2ntal bazaar of Tunis.''
Salah Ben, who thus presented him
self, was an imposing figure in his flow
ng fawn color burnouse and gayly colored
undergarments. Salah Ben had outwitted
all other guides in securing our patronage.

To the Manner Born.


FROM the housckeeper-
Whether the word be manner" or
manor" in the often used quotation, is
a question frequently asked. That ito
the manner born" is correct is evident
from the context of the phrase, which oc-
ours in Hamlet. act 1. scene 4. While
Hamlet and his frie nds, Horatio and Mar
celius, are wsiting on the platform out
side of the palace for the possible ap-
pearance of the ghost of the dead king,
the noise OF a flourish of trumpets and
the roar of a cannon are heard. In ex-
PLANTATION OF this Hamlet says:
THE king doth wake tonight and takes his rouse
Keep wassail and the staggering inspiring reels
And he drains his drau2ht of Rhenish down
The kettledrun and trumpet thus bray cut
The triumph Of his pledge
This allusion is to an actual practice at
banquets among the ancient SaXons and
Danes, of proclaiming with a salute each
time that the king drained his goblet.
Therefore. to the question rs it a Gus
tom Hamlet replies:
LAY, merry, tit:
But to my mind. though I native here,
And to the manner born. it is a custom
More honored In the breach than in the observ
aAce."
