THE MORPHINE HABIT.

In the Dietetic and Hygienic Ga 7ette Dr. Israel Bram of Philadelphia discusses the opium habit or drug incbricty He draws attention to the fact that man is the only animal that will eat and drink foods and beverages. harmful or otherwise. to excess. He is of the opinion that of all the sturefying drugs opium is the most dangerous in that it so com rletely enslavcs both body and mind. Dr. Bram points out that in Asia opium habitues are as numerous as those addicted to alcohol in America and Europe. The fact is also re-
 ferred to that Americans have been conspicuous in the endeavors made ro gently to free China from the'opium thrall. pr. Bram states that in the western states of this country the opium problem has been serious. It has been estimated recently that IS per cent of 25 large. cities of the United States are slaves tO opium or morphine. Women are more com monly the victims than men. except Of the professional classes, for it iS well known that physicians and drug
 Cists form large percentage or opium habitues. Many contract the habit by using morphine for severe chronic neuralgia. insomnia and the like. LaZi

 cCntrollable. and resulting in phySi
 cal. mental and moral decline. The treatment. says pr. Bram. is unsatis- factory, although he sketches at some length measures to be taken. The author refers to an article by Weber in the Medical Record, Novembe- 10. 1909. in which he shows that persons addicted to the morphine habit have something abnormal in their physical and mental makeup. Such individuals may be permitted to pursue a voca- ton which is especially tranquil, while psychotherapy may be helpful in re- moving some lurking inimical mflu- once to q complete regeneration.

NEW YORK GREENROoMS.

The greenroom in old New York
 theaters was generally a sparsely fur nished room, in which the actors con- sregatcd between cues. and where many a good story or practical joke
 was carried to it's hilarious conclusion. Down in the old bowery Theater. in
 the early fifties. when George l.. Fox,
 the famous humpty Dumpty. was the manager, the grecnroOm adjoincd small office, where Fox made his headquarters during business hours.
 In those days the performance began promptly at o'clock. and there was the strictcst observance of the Sab
 bath. on Saturday nights MT Fox
 would sit in his office, and promptly
 on the stroke of midnight he would
 reach up to a large gong which hung
 directly above his desk. No matter
 if it were the middle of a scene or an impassioned speech of the leading ac-
 tor. at the stroke of the bell the cur
 tain rolled down. and the performance Was over.
 In Booths theater Twenty third street and Sixth avenue the old GUS tom of having two green rooms. one for the principals and one for the secondary members of the company, was observed. And woe betide the
 unfortunate utility man who had tn" temerity to make his way uninvited into the den of the great histrionic lions, Mir Booth himself was al- ways mildly patient and tolerant of tine lesser figures about him. but there were in those days. as now. actors of less claim to fame whose serious regard for their own impor- tarcc would tolerate no presumption
 on the part of men less established
 in the public favor. The old Booth crccnroom was substantially and com foltably furnished. and the walls hung with portraits of great actors formed a museum of dramatic celeb rities
 The crccnroom of the Madison Square thcatcr was converted to oth e,. uses long before the famous old house was torn down to make way 1 for the modern improvement that nov marks it's site and that of the Fifth | Avenue hotel.

HUMAN PARCHMENT.

In the Middle Ages the monks. who, indeed. were the chief consumers of writing materials. became noted for their skill in the production of fine, OF as it was called. virgin" parchment. the Abbey of Clutny in France being especially distinguished in the twelfth century It was made of the skins of still-born kids and lambs. The whiter smoother and more transparent parch- ment known as vellum, was made from the skins of immature calves.
 The cost of either of these materials for bookmaking or recording was q heavy and constantly increasing bur- den As knowledge increased and the demand for books, records, legal con- yeyances and personal business and private correspondence increased, the supply of new parchment and vellum failed to increase in volume and to di- minish in price, and the classics of Greece and Rome and many an an- tiquc history. romance and poem was ruthlcssly expunGed that the cNconomI- cal or pious copyiSt could secure cheap and well finished parchment.
 Even this did not satisfy the ever increasing need and demand for the literature and correspondence, and 1t was a tradition of the horror-stricken Scriptures of "Old Gaur' that the Alb be Rivas. attracted by the extreme tcnuity and smoothness of the leaves of a Bible of the thirteenth century, became convinced that the satiny skin of beautiful woman had furnished the parchment maker with raw ma tcrial for his unrivaled product. In another instance, one Gaycr de San sale. a famous BibliOthccaire of the College of the Sorbonne at Paris, de- clarcd that some one had dresser and finished human skin to make the parchment used for certain Decretals Charles Wnslow Hall in National Magazine

The linht Contract.

The Republican believes that 1t re- fleets the sentiment of nine-tenths of the business interests of this city and of an equally overwhelming ma jority Of the individual taxpayers as well. when it congratulates the cit izenship of the community and the city council also regarding the settle ment made yesterday evening of the of the proceedings, found this morn ing in The Republicans news columns, will be welcome reading to thousands of people.
 This paper is also glad to say that the Pacific Gas and Electric company has been fair in this matter. The contract is a just and equitable con- tract and gets the municipality out Of what might have been a very bad hole. Phoenix would have had a very black eye if the proposition to turn off what have been called the ornamental lights had gone through
 By the contract made yesterday evening the rights of everybody con- cerned have been conserved. The city gets a favorable agreement. the lights will remain on, and there is no iron-clad. long term contract that will stand in the way of any possible future development. And the city gets its light cheaper than it has ever ha1 it before.

DoMESTICATING AMERICAN GAME
 ANIMALS.

IL is strange that in our efforts to protect and perpetuate game in the United States little or no considera- ton has been given to the possible economic value of the various species of native animals and birds under ,lomesticated or semi -domesticated conditions. All of our protective leGis- lation has as it's primary object the perpetuatiOn of game that sportsmen hunters might enjoy an annual holiday. Invariably our States might have pro- ceeded upon the theory that the state has a quasi property interest in all animals of native species. even when dGmesticated and held and cared for, like domestic cattle. in confinement on private reserves. Restrictive legisla- tion in nearly all of our states has gone 50 far. in fact. as to prohibit, or at least stifle and render unprofitable any attempts at dOmestication under taken by private individuals
 As a result of this method of pro- lection. our game is surely and rapidly diminishing in numbers, and the com plete extinction of some species seems rot far distant. unless some new tack is taken. and it would seem that the most reasonable solution of the prob lem would be to turn the animals to profit through Jomestication. and at the same time by this method insure perpetuation of rapidly disappearing species Wallace in outing.

MAKING XMAS TINSEl.

Tinsel is one of the few Christmas tree ornaments manufactured in the United States. for Germany Is the home of the Christmas tree decoration, and even the raw material used in the manufacture is imported from that country It consists of spools of wire almost as thin as sewing silk and is purchased by the pound, duty of , cents per pound being levied by the United States customs.

THE GRIM DESERT OF MEXICO

Next day we loaded our outfit on cur two pack mules and struck out across the desert for the Tinajas Al tas (high tanks), which lay on the slcpes of a distant range of noun tains. about four miles from the Mex ican border For generations these tanks have been a well-known step ping stone in crossing the desert. There arc q series of them. worn out in the solid rock and extending up q cleft in tine mountain side, which. in lime of rain, becomes the course of d torrent The camp lies on small plateau. couple of hundred yards from the lowest tank.

cd off, The Republican, a few days ago, got into action. It did not use either its news or editorial columns to blazon the fact but it sought to bring the lighting company and the council together. That the company manifested a willingness to act on a fair basis is a fact that may now be stated. And that it did so act in making the contract will be univer- sally conceded.
 The Republican is content to have played this humble part in assisting with the settlement of a vexed and veXing question. The trouble was that the council did not know what the electric company was willing to do and the company did not know what the council wanted. Once they were brought together the matter was arranged without trouble

A trousered biped. who imagines himself man, writes from Brooklyn asking the sheriff of this county to find the perfect woman for him. The trousered biped aforesaid wants to marry her.
 The Republican has always felt some doubt about the doctrine of evolution. but now it accepts the Dar- winian theory with just one rifling exception. The exception relates to this Brooklyn man. He isn't de- cended from the ape family. His progenitOr was undoubtedly a jackass.
 Think of the asinine conceit the brainless stupidity. the unspeakable nerve. and the unthinkable egotism of the man who assumes he is good enough to marry the perfect woman. Why. if he could get a Gangrened- tempered Pima squaw with sout, rheumatism and chilblains, and with a face like the crazy dream of cocaine fiend, she would be too good for him.
 The perfect woman? She is not alive She lost her home in Eden six thousand years ago after little fruit supper with her husband and the devil And it's not quite estab- lished that she was perfect, else she would probably have turned a cold shoulder on His Satanic Majesty and kept away from the tree of knowl- edge.
 The perfect woman is a dream that will never come true: and well for us that she is only a dream. We couldn't be comfortable in her pres ence and she couldn't be comfortable in ours. The man who is looking for her is crazy with the heat or with his own egotism.
 No, woman as she is, is good enough-too good for nine hundred and ninety-nine men out of thou sand And come to think of it, she is probably too good for the thou sandth one as well.
 Tennyson described the nearest ap proach to the perfect woman when he spoke of one as 'faultily fault less" And that kind of woman is too good for the best man that ever trod the earth.
 This pin-headed extract of personal vanity down in New York needs to take about a ten years course in self effacement. Then he may be good enough for a slate colored Hot tentot. He can hardly attain to even that standard otherwise.
