Needless Use of Opiates.

1t is perhaps a conservative estimate
that only 10 per cent of the entire drug
consumption in this country is applied
to the purpose of bunting incurable
pain. Thus 90 per cent of the Opiates
used are, strictly speaking, unneces-
sary. In the innumerable cases that
have come under my observation 10 per
cent of the habitual users became such
without reasonable excuse. Beginning
with small occasional doses. they real
lied within a few weeks that they had
lost self control and could not discOn-
time the use of the drug.-Charles B.

Sensible Women Know
Foundation of Health

As health talks to women become
more general, both in the newspapers
and on the platform, the mass of women
are beginning to realize what the more
cultivated have always known, that
good health cannot be found in powder
box. The eXternalS of health may be
obtained in that way, but the basis of
health lies deeper, and yet is just as
easily obtained.
The most IMPORTANT thing that a
woman can do for herself, and about
which she is often most neGlectful, is

CRUEL PUNlSHMENTS.
The Use of Torture In Legal Processes
In Former Times.

The Use of Torture In Legal Processes
In Former Times.
The constitution of the United States
and the constitutions of the various
states in prohibiting cruel and unusual
punishments were not fighting an alb
surdity. The use of torture in legal
processes was not, when these instru-
ments were framed. so remote as it is
now.
When Sir Thomas Dole came as high
marshal to Virginia he crushed con-
spiracy by killing the ringleaders by
torture. One had a bodkin thrust
through his tongue and was chained to
a tree until he died. Others were
broken on the wheel 1t is quantity
stated that Sir Thomas was "a man Of
good conscience and knowledge in di-
vinity." Dole's date was 1911.
The next notable instance of the use
of torture was in 1862, in the Salem
witchcraft excitement, when Giles
Cory was pressed to death-the ''peine
dure ct forte" the most horrible Of
deaths.
Executions were in public through
out the east until comparatively recent
times. When Quelch, the pirate, and
six others were hanged in Boston, Sew
all wrote in his diary, when the scat
fold was let to sink there was such a
screech of the women that my wife
heard it, sitting in our entry next to
the orchard" though the gallows was
a mile away and the wind unfavor-
able.
The use of torture to wiring the truth
from witnesses is said to have been
recognized as legal in Austria until
well within the last century.

THAT evening we sat on the wide
gallery, in the usual steamer chairs,
and listened to the plaintive native
music from the barrio, where a dance
was in full swing.
Our host has a charming, if lonely
existence. There are fifty native men
in the barrio, whom he oversees at
their work. His household arrange
ments are perfect, but it takes four
boys and a cook to keep them so. It
seems so funny to see a boy in pink
knee pants, no shirt, but a dagger in
his belt, serving chocolate, and excel
lent chocolate at that.
