THE ETHER HABIT SPREADING
A New Contagion That is Causing Terrible
RaVages in Paris.

tees, it makes a dish fit for the gods,
But the ether fend is not a good sight
the next day. He has had bad night,
his will and his strength are gone
and his pale face is drawn and bag
gard, while his eyes are dilated be-
yond measure. One night, when a
number of habitual "etheromanes"
were about to adjourn to an apart
ment where they would be free to in
dulge their favorite passion, friend
who knew the risks they were run
ming attempted vainly to dissuade
them from their plan. But they
would not listen to him-they seemed
to be fatally drawn toward the ether
chamber by a mysterious and invinci-
BILE force. and his arguments were in
vain. Next day he learned that the
ether seance had almost had a tragic
termination. One of the etheromanes
under the influence of the exciting
element had tried to kill one Of his
comrades, and the others, suddenly
sobered, had had all they could do
to restrain his hand. Montmartre Is
the quarter of Paris most addicted
to the ether habit, and the majority
of the victims are women. Whole
'ltres" Of the subtle fluid are drunk
with reckless abandon, and until
intoxication has oVertaken
the ether maniac there is no thought
of putting away the diabolical excit-
ant.

According to the fashionable doc
tors of Paris, a new contagion is at
present causing terrible ravages in
the capital. Attempts have from time
to time been made to prescribe OPT
UNI, morphia, hashish and other poi
sons. Some have even suggested the
prohibition of absinthe, but at the
moment it is none of these that is
causing anxiety-it Is ether The
ether passion has spread with such
rapidity in Paris that the number of
"etheromanes" is almost incredible,
and every day new recruits are added
to the ranks of those who have been
enslayed by the insidious fluid. Opium
and hashish only appealed to certain
categories of people, but ether finds
its victims among all classes, AS
means of intoxication II is within
reach of all purses, and although its
effects are less deadly than those of
certain other drugs, its consequences
cannot be regarded with a compla-
cent eye. To take only one example,
at Rochefort-sur-Mer there is a mari
time hospital frequented by students
who later will qualify for naval sur
geons or colonial doctors, and among
these young men, when the grind"
becomes too irksome or the discipline
too severe, ether has been a frequent
remedy. The consequence is that its
ravages have been considerable, and
last year several suicides were traced
to overindulgence in the fatal passion
An attempt was made by the author
tiles to keep the fact from leaking
out, but 1t gradually became known.
1t is not in the provinces alone, how
ever, that the ether habit has mani
tested itself. "Etheromanes" are
frequently met with in Paris, and
when reproved for their addiction to
the drug, they defend their weakness
by exaggerated descriptions of the
Joy and delightful intoxication they
find in the absorption of the fluid.
Some of them are accustomed to
drink ether in the form Of a syrup,
much as they would take any other
alcohol; others let a few drops of
volatile ether fan on a bandage,
which they place before their mouths
and violently inhale; and one OF the
most refined" methods Of enjoying
ether is to mix it with Wild straw

Ribbons, House at Antwerp.

The question Of reconstructing Ru-
bens. house at Antwerp for the Brus-
sells Exhibition revlyes the interest
in the proposed acquisition Of the
original by the Aldermanic Council OF
Antwerp. The scheme is that the
gorgeous house, which was built from
the designs Of Rubens himself,
should be acquired and turned into
a Rubens Museum, where will be
housed all the artists designs, his
letters and copies Of his most cele-
brated paintings. The house as it
was in the painters time can be seen
in many engravings Of the time, not
ably one in the gallery at Munich,
showing Rubens and his second wife,

quite safe The vaporizing is auto
matte and instantaneous, and takes
place in the burner. which is the es-
sential feature Of the invention and
which is made entirely of glass, all
in one piece. At the top is a bulb,
about one inch in diameter; below
a tube, the lower end of which
should always be submerged in the
hole. A small round wick passes up
through this tube and through the
centre Of the bulb to a small circular
opening in the top of the bulb. When
the wick takes fire the flame COM
pletely seals the opening through
which the wick passes. The heat i'm
mediately vaporizes the oil in the
wick inside the bulb, and the vapor
or gas thus formed is consumed at
the top Of the wick, burning with a
clear, steady flame. On account of
the convenient shape of the burner
the device can be made entirely self
contained, in the shape and size Of
a candle.

UNANIMOUS ACQUITTAL
On Charge of Obtaining Valuable
Timber Lands Illegally.

The Rocky Mountain News, pub
lished at Denver contained under date
of ian. 5, report of the unanimous
acquittal by the United States Su-
preme court of the men charged with
conspiring to deprive the government
of several thousand acres of valuable
timber lands by what is known as the
dummy entry system"
The decision of the the United
States supreme court is of special in
terest to people here because one of
defendants was John j. McGinnity, a
former we'll known resident of this
county, and the finding of the court is
surely gratifying to his many friends.
The Rocky Mountain News says:
1.-The decision ends all prosecution
of the men, and will probably, have the
effect of putting an end to civil suits
now pending, by which the government
is attempting to recover the lands al
lodged to have been illegally obtained
for the New Mexico Lumber company
and the Pagosa Springs Lumber com
pany.
THE New Mexico Lumber company
is controlled by the McPhee and Nc
Ginnity company of Denver, Of which
Charles D. McPhee and John J. Nc
GinDity are the principal owners.
THE decision was rendered by JUS
tice White, all the other justices con-
curing. 1t puts an end to all further
prosecution of the defendants and vir
tually holds that there was no wrong
in the methods employed, though it
does not settle the question as to
whether the government can recover
lands so obtained drought civil pro-
ceedings.
"The decision of the court that there
was no fraud in any of the acts of the
defendants will probably be an addi-
tiOnal inducement for the withdrawal
of the civil suits. inasmuch as they
are based on the contention that the
lands were obtained by fraud and
should therefore be restored to the ma
tiOnal government"
