SPIRIT AND DRUG TAKERS.

Physical and Psychic Changes That
Grow With the Habit.
Two marked changes are noted in all
spirit and drug takers. One Of them IS
physical and is noted by changes in the
face, eyes, tone Of voice, manner of
walking and general expression and
control. The heart Is Irritable and de-
ranged In its acfloA. There are muscuA
lar feebleueas, nutrient disturbances,
with Insomnia. and unusual emotional
excitementror depression. The. general
health, conduct and appearance, as
we'll as capacity. Of the person are
changed.
A second change Of symptoms noted
Is the psychic one. The person is bold,
assertlve, egotistical or the opposite
His former manner OF hopefulness or
depression is altered. Where he was
frank before. he is now secretivc. un-
truthful, unreasonlng, has little respect
for his words and statements, incurs
obligations, asserts or denies emphat-
ically matters OF no consequence. His
general appearance and pride of char
acter are lowered.
These symptoms may be unnoticed in
the early stages, but later they are
prominent. Both the physical and
psychic are intimately associated with
each other, yet from the very begin
ming there may be marked differences
In the prominence and intensity of
either one or the other. indicating the

to the smooth watery track left by the
ship after its passage through the ice.

The early American fireplace was
merely a cheap provincial copy Of ENG
llsh models OF the same period The
application of the word colonial" to
pre-Revolution architecture and deco
ration has created a vague impression
that there existed at that time an
American architectural style. AS a
matter Of fact, "coloniaI' architecture
is simply a modest copy Of Georgian
models, and colonial mantelpleces
were either imported from England by
those who could afford 1t or were re-
produced in wood from current Eng
lish designs. Wooden mantels were in
deed, not unknown In England, where
the use Of a wooden archltrave led
to the practice OF facing the fireplace
with Dutch tiles, but wood was used
in England and America only from
motives Of cheapness, and the archi-
trave was set back from the opening
only because It wus unsafe to put an
inhammable material so near the fire.
