One of our suburban neighbors came near having his house bur¬ glarized last Wednesday night. The gentleman of the house stepped out upon the back porcR and descovered, as he thought, a man crouching behind a column of the porch. Tho young gen¬ tleman’s combative nature arose simultaneously with the hair of his head, and seizing a stick of wood, which had been placed there for the morning fire, dealt the figure a stunning blow, dis¬ jointing it about the girth, the upper portion rolling off with the velocity of an empty flour barrel. It may be that our friend is nat¬ urally very secretive, but, putting any construction upon it that may appear best, it was several days before the affair was whispered even to his bosom friend.

GIHGER DRUTKIffG HABIT STARTLING GROWTH OF THE USE OF A DANGEROUS BEVERAGE. From The Philadelphia Times. The linger habit has supple¬ mented the liquor habit. It has become a kind of fad in some classes of society, and its dan¬ gerous inroads upon health are forcing it upon the attention of physicians, while as an outgrowth of high license legislation, it is at the same time recommending it¬ self to the attention of the law¬ makers. The ginger habit is worse than the ordinary liquor habit, because it is more rapid in its effects and means earlier ruin to the health of the individual. It has only re¬ cently come to the attention of physicians and druggists that in thousands of f milies the peppery dose that has borne the popular appearance of innocence and re¬ spectability has become an agent of debauchery. The tincture of ginger, or Ja¬ maica ginger, as it is popularly known, is the strongest and most irritating alcoholic solution known, ranking next to alcohol absolute, which is undrinkable, and standing equal to commercial alcohol, which is never used as a beverage. The Jamaica ginger is sold by druggists and grocers in four ounce vials, and the unbot, tied tincture is retailed at one ounce and upward. During the past few months the demand for the article, which has been steadi¬ ly increasing for a number of years, has been unprecedented and some druggists are already beginning to “flag” habitual in¬ quirers. The great demand is in those sections that are at a distance from the principal business cen¬ ters of the city, although the Chesnut and Market street drug¬ gists themselves have experien¬ ced and noted the rapid growth of the traffic. The most alarming phrase of the habit is its preva¬ lence among women. Dr. W. G. MacConnell of 250 South Tenth street, said yesterday: “The tincture of ginger can be bought for about five cents an ounce. It contains fully 96 per cent, of alcohol, so that in an ounce of ginger there is more than two ounces of whisky. The way it is now being used is amazing. I know a physician, a man Tery prominent in hi, pre f ess ion, who died only a short time ago from the effects of gin¬ ger drinking. You would think •* physician knew better, and he i did, -* > but in spite ' of the warn mgs v d protestations . oi his -fiends aTJ m the profession lie would use it j daily as a beverage, diluting it “I was in* <lr.g»tor. on!, a few days ago, when a joung gin I came in twice, buying each time ] two ounces of ginger. The gist said she'd been in twelve He knew : that be should ufuse to sell them : the article. I was called not long il o9 attend a woman who ad¬ ■ mitted to me that she was in the : 0 f drinking sixteen ounces a day. Think what a dose that j i s t i t W ould have the strength of ; more than twi e that amount of wffisky. It would surprise you j to know how many patient.^ affiie ’ habit the phy ted with the ginger city [ sicians of this are now strug ' gli«ff with. &“ Tho ot them are women, who, until a few , years past, were accustomed. 'o sending to the neighboring saloon for beer or whisky whenever they wanted it, night or morn'ng or Sunday. One woman told me she began to drink it when she couldn't run into a saloon with her pitcher, but found that she could buy all the ginger she wan¬ ted at the druggist?, or at the grocery store and that it went far¬ ther and had more effect than any thing else. Old drinkers at the bar are familiar with the effects of ginger, and I suppose tho growth of the present habit lias its origin with them. It is enroaching on the very best of society, and many an exclusive morning and after¬ noon gathering of ladies about the table of some elegant houses indulge in the ginger tipple. It is passed about diluted with wa¬ ter and it seems harmless enough. But the habit once acquired is al¬ most hopeless. It is worse than the liquor habit. The ginger through which the alcohol perco¬ lates in its manufacture is an ir¬ ritant of the worst kind when ta¬ ken in excess, and the alcohol is in almost its absolute stale. Its effects, too, are distinctive. The ginger drinker invariably becomes simple. These are not the varie¬ ties of ordinary intoxication. You will find all the smaller drug¬ stores outside of the very center of the city doing an enormous business in ginger, and the same with the grocery stores. Tuere ought to be legislation against its indiscriminate sale, the same as there is against the indis¬ criminate sale of other alcoholic drinks.” A prominent druggist, whose business includes wholesale and retail, said the growing demand for ginger had been noticed and commented upon in his establish¬ ment and iu others which he had visited. “In our store,” he said, “we have adopted the rule of re¬ fusing to sell ginger to any per¬ son w'bo appears to have been drinking, but we haven’t got so far yet as to refuse to fill the or¬ ders that are sent in to us from families or that are brought in by children. There ought to be some restriction, I must admit; but what and how? Most of the ginger drinking is done down town, I should judge by the quan¬ tities ordered by druggists. We sell a good deal of it, too, and the people would be horrified if ac¬ cused of tippling.” According to the Pharmaco¬ poeia, followed it', almost all drug¬ stores, the formula for the tinc¬ ture of ginger is: “Ginger, twen¬ ty parts; alcohol, a sufficient quan¬ tity to make 100 parts. Moisten the ginger with fiive parts of al¬ cohol and macerate for twenty four hours; then pack it firmly in a cylindrical percolator and grad¬ ually pour alcohol upon it until 100 parts of tincture are obtained.’ I 4> ---- j ^ AttracttTe : ComWw J nd I Tlie eieci-.n to fir to vaaa W , j n pj, e clerk’s office of the superior j court 0 f Waltou county, caused by the ( ] e . lt ].
