CONSUMPTION IS A STARTLING YICE , PARIS' LATEST DEVICE FOR KILLING PEOPLE OFF. Petroleum as nn Intoxicant Bids Fair to Hupersedo the Green Devil In work of Degenerating a Nation Sad State of Affalra EiUts. ! ' Petrolism is the new vice that threatens the brains , the strength and the purses of Parisians and French men , or , rather , it is the old vice , al coholism , in a new and startling form , says the London Telegraph. Have we not heard of morphomania and even of the woebegone idiots who drink eau do cologne when they can get noth ing more fiery ? But petrolism is , in truth , a grim novelty almost without parallel. Nobody can say for certain what its origin was or what its future will be , but the competent authorities are painfully aware that the terrible habit has made considerable progress In Paris already. The excise and cus toms duties on alcohol of all kinds were lately raised , whereby it was rendered more difficult for the intem perate man to indulge repeatedly in his little glass. But this increase in the price does not explain the phenome non , because the duties were raised a few days ago , whereas petrolism has , it seems , been going on for a consid erable time. For one of the urban dis tricts in the neighborhood of the bas tille contains a respectable number of "petroliques , " as the physicians term them , and in the outskirts of Paris many more ill-starred people are ad dicted to it. The taste for this disa greeable beverage grows upon the con sumer , it is said , until it develops into an irresistible passion. The doctors have not yet had opportunities to study its effects , and their views , lack ing a firm basis , are divergent. The consensus of opinion , however , main tains that the intoxication produced by petroleum is of a melancholy nature , which tinges things in gray. The pe troleum drinker is sad , discontented , despairing. Unlike whisky , the miner al oil never bestows "Dutch courage" upon the quaffer , who is rarely quar relsome or pugnacious. Moreover , his sleep at night would not seem to be very injuriously affected by it. Gen erally speaking , the "petroliques" sleep calmly enough , and even their general health is not as rapidly under mined as by the alcoholic beverages in common demand. Here , however , opin ions differ. Some doctors hold that the gravest organic changes are caused by the use , which is also an abuse , of petroleum , and that the germs of mor tal diseases are called into being. The manner in which the latest batch of "petroliques" was discovered is curi ous. A firm in the city furnished pe troleum to certain retail shops. The head of one of the latter complained o short measure. The wholesale merchant denied the charge and proved that he was right. Then the retail dealer set himself to discover the clew to the mystery , but for a long time in vain. None of the liquid was removed from the premises or spilled , and yet it continued to disappear. At last it was discovered that the work men drank it to raise their laboring- lower to the proper level. DOCTOR'S ADVICE ON SHOES Many Women Idlolic Enough to Wear Ties In "Winter. The majority of women , those inter ested in athletic sports , those advocat ing dress reform and the many who are simply sensible without being fad dish , have adopted the new style of walking shoes copied so closely after those fashionable for men , says the New York Herald. Yet , for all that , there are women who insist upon being dainty , lace-betrimmed and thinly shod in the street , who still wear , and will doubtless always wear , paper soles , low-cut patent leathers and thin lisle stockings , even in winter. A prominent physician speaking on the subject , said to me only the other day : "A woman came to me one windy day last week complaining of a terrible pain in her lungs. As she sat telling me her ills I happened to glance at her feet. They were crossed , and just dis played the prettiest , daintiest , patent- leather oxford tie , and a soupcon of a lace-patterned silk stocking. In a boudoir she would have been irresisti ble ; in my office and in the street she was a suicide. 'But , doctor ! ' she ex claimed in reply to my expostulation as to the enormity of her crime against health in being so shod , 'I cannot wear those awful men's shoes and I wear ties in the evening all winter to the theaters and places of amusement. ' 'Then , my dear lady , ' I replied , 'you are only wasting your money in com ing to me for advice , for I can never cure you while you dress like that. ' " Many women would save themselves much money , suffering and nauseous doses of medicine if they would only take the doctor's words to heart. Instinct ot the Oyster. Oysters , after they have been Drought away from the sea , know by instinct the exact hour when the tide is rising and approaching their beds , and so , of their own accord , open their shells to receive their food from the sea , as if they were still at home.

I was much weakened , wns unable , much of the time , to do my own work , aud suffered beyond my power to describe. I was down hearted nud melancholy. Nothing seemed to do me any good.
