New Works Opium Fiends

New York city is now the largest con-
sumner of smoking opium in the world.
1t has surpassed the record of any Chi
nese city. not only in the quantity used
or the number Of men and women ad-
dicted to the habit, but also in the in
tensity and the passion with which the
drug is consumed There are at least
10000 opium smokers in New York
city. This is the conservative estimate
of men whose duty 1t is to wage a
daily, if vain, struggle against the
growing vice. And they declare that
this number is so much more appalling

drug ridden and consumes more CO.

Nearly every European capital has
seen the enemy within its gates during
the last 100 years. Berlin was pene

Russians in -17G0 and was occupied by
the French from October, 1906. to De-
cember, 1908. Rome was occupied by
the French in 1908 and 1S49 Vienna
was occupied by the French in 1905
and 1909, and Moscow in 1912. Lisbon
in 1907 and Madrid in 1905 Paris was
entered by the allies in 1914 and 1915
and by the Germans in 1871. Copen-
hagen was bombarded by the British

SELECT CULLINCS
Early America.

NJ. Henri Cordier in the Journal Ges
Savants calls attention to a PROOF OF
the discovery of America in the eIev-
enth century which has hitherto pass
ed unnoticed. In the saga of Erie the
Red ii is said that when Thorfn Karl
seine returned from MARYLAND" or
Newfoundland, in 1905, he took lack
to Greenland with him two children
from the northern land of the Skrae-
lings. and four words of their Ian
guage are preserved in the saga, These
words We're thought by the Greenland
ers TO be the names of the children
parents or chiefs, but NJ Cordier shows
that they can be traced to Eskimo
phrases of the present day, two OF
them meaning something like wait
moment" and the northern islands
respectively. To this he joins the
statement of Professor Waldemar 10
cheson Of st. Petersburg that the sci
enti1c expedition sent by f. Z. Ria,
buschinski to Kamchatka has proved
the morphological connection Of the
hamchatkan language with several
Indian dialects of North America. This
derives additional interest from the
news recently from America of the
discovery by V. StefanssOn of tribes OF
white Eskimos showing many traces
of Morse descent on the shores of Coro-
nation gulf.-London Athenaeum.

FASHION CHANGES
NOW OBVIOUS.
The Picturesque Mediei Collar
Featured Style Favorite.

Indications Of changes In fashion are
beginning to be apparent, many new
ideas having lately been put forward
by the great oracles. Whether or not
these new notions will catch on" 1t is
impossible to say, but in the meantime
It Is as well to make note of them,
since there are some, at all events,
which cannot fail to prove of lasting
interest.
Among these must certainly be reck-
oned the return of the medici collar,
carried out In various fabrics, but I'M

cinating frame for the face. In fact
the medici collar seems to have the
happy knack of suiting everybody.

success In Paris, where they bid fair

slightly rolled over at the top away
from the throat and stiffened invisibly
with fine wire, which serves to hold
them In position and keep the lace in
good condition.

The Hook Worm.

Tn a lecture delivered in the Ly-
ceum Theater in Monroe Monday
night, DIR. 7. Z. Wright, who Is Ill
charge of the hook worm campaign,
announced that from his examlna-
ton fifty-seven per cent OF the
school children are infected. For
tunateIy the people are not readily
disturbed by such declarations
which are accepted conservatively.
The hook worm, as are many Ills
which have been more or less prev
alent for years, was doubtless III
great activity during the progress
of the four years war between the
States, but it was not so designated,
and therefore as it was not known,
no one worried over it.
According to the up-to-date
scientists the hook worm is pro-
duced from moldy corn and corn
meal. At the discovery of the
worm, which is of recent date, ii
was declared that only the INDECENT
poor were the infected, but a little
later it was proclaimed that the
millionaire was no less a subject for
HE worm.
II in this enlightened and pro-
gressiye age we were to accept Sc
riously every theory of the pro-
fessional in athority, life would
scarcely be worth the living, since,
as it is said that at each breath and
at each opening of the mouth to ar
ticulate word we gulp millions of
germs. which are deadly, but which
fortunately are absorbed and are
destroyed by good germ within US.
Indeed. we should feel grateful to
the good germ and should indulge
its cultivation with the best of
graces. If it were not for this good
