THE BANE OF
NARCOTICS
Tha Ingenuity of Chemists and Phar

New Drugs,
DR. LYMAN SPERRY'S LECTURES
fnnoceut Mean* Through Which People
Acquire the IIAbll of Using Narcot
ics—The i roeru of “Bracing”
^ Should He Called Poisoning*
Dr. Lyman B. Sperry makes a comfort
able living by giving popular lectures on
the subject of narcotics. For more than
years bo has been studying tho proper
ties of such drugs and their effects. Ho
began his'work when-tho Minnesota stato
board of education decided to provide in
struction on tho ovil affects-of strong
drink, and ho was sent to coach tho teach
ers and preparo tho textbooks. Aside*
from tho moral aspeot of tho subject ho
found that both teachers and pupils wero
•interested in tho forms in which various
drugs were prepared and the degrees and
differences in effect. In this way lio was
led to glvo public lectured upon tho sub
ject.
While discussing tho subject in a gon-
. eral way Dr. Sperry told a reporter that a
corps of exports could not follow tho ra
pidity with which narcotics were put upon
the market in novel and ingenious forms.
“Wo seem to bo living in an age,” ho
Bald, “when drunkenness has bocomo a
national disease and is paralyzing the ener
gies of our people. J mean to apply tho
term drunkenness 60 ns to includo tho
opium and chloral lmblts and tho nower
nnd more fashionable habit of using the
thousand and ono powders and fluids sold
at drug 6tores under tho names of pyrines
and fcbrincs, calisayas, otc. I would place
tho clgarotto habit among tho most harm*
fill, because It certainly loads to mental
exhaustion and thcnco to tho uso of moro
powerful narcotics.”
According to Dr. Sperry, tho cunning
of man seems to have been turnod of late
toward tho preparation of opium in insid
ious forms. When n student at a medical
collego, ho made a specialty of chemistry,
nnd ho now employs his spare time in an-
nlyzingnew headache powders, cough mix
tures, cigarettes, patent medicines and
candies, “just to see,” ho explains, “how
tho devil is keeping up with tho times.”
It was Charles Lamb who said, “If a glass
of ardent spirits stood before mo, and I
knew that eternal misery wero thoprlco of
drinking it, I could not let it alone.”
Nowadays tho art of disguising tho spirits
Jbas progressed so tlmt n person may get
the effects nnd lncldontally tho misery
later without knowing oxactly what is
happening.
No two individuals are inflacnocd in
precisely tho sarao mnnner and to precise
ly tho eamo dcgrcco by nnv ono of tho nar
cotics, and no two of tho' narcotics pro-
duco precisely tho samo effect on any ono
Individual. Tho ingenuity of man is
therefore vory busy devising tho form of
narcotic that will produce tho most desir
able effect. An amount of opium—say
two grains—which produces in one person
profound unconsciousness, closely coun
terfeiting sleep, may render another por-
son excitedly wakeful, whilo a third may
not bo noticeably influenced by it in any
way. Dr. Sperry claims* that physicians
have been innocently to blame in two
ways for tho spread of the uso of narcotics.
In tho first place, thoy start tho morphine
or liquor habit by proscribing anodynes
contain! n g tho drug for insomnia and nerv
ousness. In tbo second place, thoy have in
troduced persons directly to narcotism by
utterly mistaking tho composition nnd
effocts of now drugs said to bo harmless.
“A few years ago,” said Dr. Sporry,
* l tbe best physicianB of our country wero
In an ecstasy of delight ovor tho discovery
of chloral. At last thoy thought thoy had
found o drug that would sootho irritated
nerves nnd loave no unpleasant effects,
eoraothing that would stimulate tho nerv
ous system without deranging any of tho
organa of tho body. Tho discovery had
noon known but n very short timo before
chloral was commonly prescribed by phy-
Blolansall over tho country. There was
n terrlblo awakening when it was discov
ered that tho chloral habit followed close
upon tho physicinn’fl prescription.
“I do not think tho habit is quite su
common as it wus, because chloral fiends
Boon toko to opium to secure a moro per
fect deadening of tbo norves. Tho physl-
cians who indorsed its uso ns a method of
nllaying pain wero nevertheless responsi
ble for tho results. Aftorwurd camo tho
discovery of cocaine, and again it was
thought that tho ideal drug bad been
found for certain purposes. In precisely
tho samo way tho cocaine habit folllowed.
Tho difference is that tho cocalno makes
Its viotlms lnsano instead of producing
tho long years of lingoring suffering from
tho uso of opium.
“Now wo havo physicians proscribing
new scdatlvo powdors which are introduc
ed almost weekly. It’is said that theso
drugs leavo no bad effects. . I have found
that in most instances the effocts are not
obscrvablo for somo tlmo. A person with
a bad headneho or troubled with insomnia
may tako ono of tho many powders that
go under tho na*no of pyrines, etc., and
oxpcdenco very grateful relief. Tho pains
disappear, a long and refreshing sleep fol
lows, and*tho person is ready for solid
Work. Tin; same remedy, which can bo
purchased at all drug stores without a
physician’s prescription, is used again and
again when tho nerves are to bo quieted.
There can bo but ono end, and that Ms a
complete shattering of tho nervous sys
tem, which leaves an easy routo to tho
opium and morphine habits.
“Tho advertisements in street cars,
newspapers and druggists’ windows would
indicate that there is an cpldemio of men
tal and nervous exhaustion among tho
American people. Tho causo Is not over
work, as the advertisements say, but tho
carelessness nnd ignoranco of our people
in using alleged remedies which aggravate
the trouble and cause a general breaking
down. If it were possible to have a law
requiring an analysis of all theso nervines
to bo printed on tho labels, there would
bo less talk about tho disposition of tho
people of this country to work themselves
into early graves.
“Tho process known as‘bracing’ should
be called poisoning. People of intelli
gence and self respect seldom intontional-
lytako enough of a narcotic to render
themselves Incapable of rational, volun
tary action, but so deluding and so de
structive of tho power of self control Is
the influenoo of narcotics, so easily iff tho
reason dethroned and tho will paralyzed
by them that for some persons to take
even a small quantity os a stimulant or
‘nerve bracer’ means to continuo taking
the narcotic until the stage of drunken
stupor is reached.”—New York Sun.

SOUTHERN PLANTATIONS.
A JUdltsl Departure From tho Manage
ment Methods of the Old Regime.
Plantations at the present day are con
ducted very differently from the way they
wore managed under tho old regime. Tho
one I have In inind comprises something
over 6,000 acres. Tho proprietor reserves
about 250 acres for his own planting and
rents out the remainder to small farmers,
who give him so many pounds or bales of
cotton for tho rent, in proportion to tho
quantity and quality of tho particular
piece of ground they cultivate, the size of
tho bouse and corn house of which they
have the use, etc. Muoh discrimination
is required in tho selection of tenants, for
defective or indifferent farming will im
poverish tho land nnd endanger tho land
lord's chances of collecting his rent. Most
of the tenants Are negroes, 40 families of
tlmt race residing on tho place.
Of those there are a number who are ex
cellent farmers, thrifty, industrious,
prompt- in paying their obligations and
thoroughly Interested in everything that
portains to their business, tho wifo work
ing as hard as her husband—harder in
fact, because when her field work is ovor
she cooks the slmplo meals, washes tho
clothes and patches tho garments for her
numorous family by tho blaze of a light
wood torch after tho members of tho
household are rolled In their rcspectlvo
“quilts” and voyaging in slumborlaml.
Sho docs moro than tills, for sho raises
chickens and turkeys, sometimes geeso
nnd ducks, using tho eggs for pocket mon
ey and to obtain tho tobacco which is as
hcccssnry to her comfort as to that of her
hhsbahd nnd sons.
Tho majority, of tho negroes go to work
in tho early morning, with no breakfast
or perhaps only a crust to nibble on.
When they como In at 13 o’clock a stir
about is made—a dish concocted of corn-
mcal, salt and water and looking very
much ns tho namo suggests—of which all
tho family partake, tho older members
oating nh “allowance ” of bacon. Any
luxuries they may enjoy appear at tho
evening meal, such as coffee, flour, oto.
Usually, however, their faro is of tho sim
plest and cold water their bevomgo, oxcepfc
on Sundays and high days, celebrated usu
ally with reference to some religious festi
val. Toq much credit cannot bo given
these hardworking wives and mothers,
who hoo, rako, cook, wash, ohop, patch
and mend from morning until night.
Vory often garments, will bo patched until
scarcely a trace of the original foundation
matcriul cau bo seen, and there are many
cases where tho wifo is much tho better
“cotton choppor” of tho two, and her
woTk far more desirablo than hor hus
band’s.—Boston Transcript.
A GREAT HEAD FOR FIGURES.
Berah Colburn, the Most Remarkable of
All Mathematical Prodigies.
Borah Colburn (born at Cabot, Vt.,
Sopt. 1, 1804; died in Norwich, Vt., March
9, 1840) was tho most wondorful of all tho
mathematical prodigies. His rcmarkablo
Powots bccamo manifest as soon as ho was
old enough to talk, and by tho tlmo ho
was 6 years of ago ho was tho wondor of
both Europo and America. In 1812, when
ho was only 8 years old, ho was taken to
London in order that the great mathema
ticians of tho British metropolis might
try his powers. This was dono to thoir
satisfaction nnd with tho following re
sults: *
Ho raised any number consisting of ono
figure progressively to tho tenth power,
giving tho result, not from memory, but
by actual multiplication, fastor than tho
person appointed to keep record could sot
down tho figures. Next ho raised tho fig
ure 8 successively to tho sixteenth power,
naming tho last result, which consisted of
15 figures, almost instantly, overy figure
being found by “proof” to be right. On
being asked tho square root of 100,920 lio
answered 327 before tho recorder had tlmo
to writo down tho numbor to bo squared.
Ho was thou required to find tho cube
root of 2(18,8:10,1-1, and with celerity tlmt
was really startling replied that it was
C45, whereupon tho nstronomcr Young,
who had been well drilled In mathematics
in probloms where “billions” were ban-
dlod as often us “hundreds,’’ spent 45
minutos in'proving tho correctness of tho
answer. Ho was then asked how many
miriutes there wero in 48 years, and be
fore tho question could bo written down
replied that there were 25,228,800 nnd im
mediately after gavo tho correct num
ber of seconds-in tho samo period of time.
On being requested to give tho factors that
would produce tho number 247,483 ho im
mediately named 041 and 203, und it was
afterword learned that thoy are tho only
two numbers tho multiplication of which
will give that result. Ills taskmasters
next proposed that ho glvo tho factors of
36,088, but without seeming to reflect a
single raomdht ho replied that It had none,
whioh was really tho caso, that being ono
of tho prime numbers. Ho was asked next
to name tho square of 099,999, n feat
which ho performed in nine seconds by
twice multiplying tho square of 37,037 by
27, tho answer being 48,960,602,000,040.
Remember that these foats in matlio-
motics wero all performed by a boy threo
months under 8 years of ago.—St. Louis
Republic.
Candy I* poison.
At the Hospital For Ruptured and Crip
pled Children ono of tho rules of that ad
mirably conducted institution is that can
dy Is poison and must not bo taken into
tho building. ’ Misshapen little ones are
received from every source of misery, re
gardless of race or condition, and all that
medical science, surgery and charity can
do is dono to glvo them a fair start In life.
On visiting days friends and relatives are
obliged to show tho contents of thoir prlzo
packages before being admitted, and
sweetmeats Are contraband. In spito of
tho most rigid examination and inspection
well penning but deceitful parents smug
gle caudles into tho ward, and the next
day thoir sins betray them. Every candy
enter has a “bad night,” and tho majority

as to restore order In tho digestive appa
ratus.—Now York Wojrld.
Washed Anhore.
A sober resident ill a small village on
tho coast occasioned quite a commotion
by saying that the bodies of threo children
had fust been washed ashore. The inhab
itants were indignant when, after much in
quiry, the sober resident said: “I tell you
thoy were. They wero washed ashore by
their mother. You don’t suppose the
could tako ’era out Into the middle of the
ocean to wash ’em, do you?"—Leeds (Eng
land) Mercury.

SHE WAS PAINFULLY PLACID.
A Bachelor’s Experience That Decided
Him on the Matrimonial Question.
Miss Caxton la Junoesque. She is big.
Jorleyonoo called hercowlike, but I think
that was after Jorley had been refused by
her. Sho is placid in a lofty sort of way—
placid in tho style that is indifferent to
annoyances. Sho never sees anything dis
agreeable. Jorley calls it stupidity. Some
times sho doesn’t seo other things. I’vo
known her to fall to appreciate somo of
my jokes. But women havo no sense of
humor at best. Thoy only giggle hyster
ically over babyish things.
I was not particularly drawn to Miss
Caxton, 1 confess. Sho doesn’t magnetize
or fascinate. But sho would wear well.
I took Miss Caxton to drive ono day.
T?he horses wore lino. Their coats shone
in tho light, they wero eager and light
spirited, and I enjoyed tbo thought of
managing them. Miss Caxton was big
and perfectly dressed. The drive began
well.
“Do you enjoy driving!”. I asked her.
It is well to know a little of tho ta9tes of
tho woman ono contemplates marrying.
“Very much," said she placidly.
That was her one response to almost all
my questions. Sho enjoyed sailing, and
the opera, nnd tho Alps and clambnkes
and Longfellow “very much.” On the
other hand, sho “didn’t care for” tennis,
rowing, walking, Browning, mackerel and
social soienco. Somohow hor lack of a vo
cabulary annoyed me. I tried to foroo her
to say something else—to reveal herself,
as It were.
“Do you havo all those vague, sorrow
ful feelings most of us common mor
tals feel when wo are by tho sea!” I asked,
inanely enough I admit.
“I like tho sea very much,” said Miss
Caxton.
I ground my teeth and gavo tho reins a
jerk wbloh mado the horses suddenly rear.
In threo seconds moro wo were In danger.
Tho fiery steeds wero prancing madly off,
rearing and plunging horribly.
“Keep perfectly still,” I said, and for a
wonder tho girl obeyed.
Tho road was fairly direct and broad.
If I could but get control of tho beasts
before we dashod into something or met a
veliiclo at somo crossroad, we might save
ourselves. I bent every nerve to tho task,
hut It was useless. The off horse was
foaming violently at tho mouth. Sudden
ly he turned slightly and mado for tho
placo where the builders of a summer cot*
to go had left a small mountain of bricks
and stono. There were pots of mortar
and quicklime among tho debris. In an
Instant I flaw us mangled, scaldod. I
dropped tho reins. I seized her—heavon
only knows how I bad the strength—and
almost flung hor, as I would a parcel, ovor
the side of the tearing, swaying carriage.
Then I jumped. In another momont tho
horses nnd tho carriago und tho stone and
mortar wero an Indistinguishable mass.
Sho was badly bruised, but that was nil.
I sprained my arm. As wo jogged homo
behind a farmer’s liorso I begged her to
forglvo mo for having jeopardized her life.
“Oh, certainly,” sho answered. “But,
do you know, Mr. Northondor, I don’t
caro muoh for runaways.’* . •
I shall not ask Miss Caxton to marry
mo. Jorley was right.—New York World.
WHERE OLD FURNITURE GOES.
Furnished Flats Absorb Much Tliut Used
to Go to Secondhand Dealers.
“Whufc becomes of all tho old furni
ture?” Bald an auctioneer in responBO to u
question. “Secondhand stores get somo
of it, but not as muoh us thoy did former
ly. Tho auction rooms havo tho call now
adays. There ore 100 auction rooms in
New York whoso wagons uro continuously
busy hauling second hand-furniture from
liousos nnd flats. The pcoplo have recog
nized that tho secondhand dealers won’t
pay as much for it n3 thoy nro likely to
get from auction sales. Within tho Inst
few years a certain class of persons havo
gono into tho business of renting furnish
ed flats and apartments. I know of ono
woman who Jins 40 of these on her bauds,
and sho is getting rich Hat. Iler invest
ments in this lino pay her on an averogo
over 100 per coufc.
“Take, for instance, a flat in tho chcupor
neighborhoods. An $18 or $20 a month
flat of five or six rooms can bo furnished
pluinly for $75—that Is, you can buy sec
ondhand furniture enough for that sum
to furnish the placo throughout. You pay
$18 for tho rooms unfurnished and rent
them for from $25 to $28 furnished. And
whon tho tenant loavus and you desire to
Bell you can realize almost as much at
auction ns you paid. Now furniture be
comes secondhand us soon as used and
bells as such. For that- reason all furnish
ed flats contain secondhand furniture,
which may havo passed through tho auc
tioneer's hands a dozen times.”—Now
York Sun.
OH. WIIAT A COUGH!
Will you heed tho warning—the elg-
nal, perhaps, of the sure approach of
that more terrible disease, oonsuration?
Ask yourself if you can afford, for tho
•ako of saving GO cents, run tho risk
and do nothing for it. Wo know from
experience that Shiloh’s Cure will cure
your cough. It never fails. This ex
plains why more than a million bottles
were sold the past year. It relieves
croup and whooping cough at once.
