A TKHUIUU : PASSION .
' . " Dr. ICorr
p.-nploin England"said ,
"linv no conception of tlio terrible hold
which tula passion for other drinking
has t-ik-Ti upon the 111011 nnd womun In
the noi'th. of Ireland. A person walking
thro igh tlio crowded nnd narrow streets
of BO mot the vlllagoi there is almost
ovorpiuvorcd by the fume * of this drug ,

Beein to bo saturated , Tlio market
plaeo-i , the thoaton , the railway car-
riagtM. oven the ohurchoa , rook with itj
puiit'l rating odpr , and ono gees away
with tlio and but true impression that
the majority of the people have become
vli-t iiiH to a habit as deadly in its otloots
ua it in now in thu history of human
\ven Ivin'iHos. "
"Jlul why do they drink this other1' '
I Inquired.
"Why ? " answered the doctor. "Why
do men nnd women till the world ovei
got. drunk nnd innko brutes of Ilium-
bolvon generally ? Because tlioy arc
eulTf-ring from a dinoai-o juat as real as
consumption or cnncur , rithotigh not no
recognized. I moan tlio disease of in-
obrii ty , of whii'h the craving for other
in tlio north Ireland in ono form , just
like thocravingsof alcohol , or morphine ,
or chloform , or opium , or coaclno , which ,
by the way , is the latoat thing in tin ;
way of hypodermic , injections among the
fashionable people of London. "

"Hut surely there must bo special roa-
Rons why tills other habit should bi
limltud to Biiuh a comparatively small
region. "
"Undoubtedly there are , but I musl
admit that in spite of our host efforts we
are yet unable to state with corlatntj
what these Bjocial reasons aro. It ii
almost itnposaiblo to obtain roliabh
EtatiHt ics as to tlio amount of cthur sole

QUICK ACTION.
The intoxicating olToct of other i
much quicker in its action than that o
alcohol. A man can ho perfectly sobci
at noon , take a drink of ether , bo bllm
drunk nt a quarter to ono and sobo :
ngnin thrco-ijuartors of an hour inter , si
' * you t-oo it is literally true that an otlioi
drinker can got drunk and sober half i
do/en times in a single day. I explained
this furious phenomenon to a modica
friend of mine , who , incredulous , deter
mined to experiment with a dose o
ether upon himself. I poured out foi
him about half a wineglass full , which i
Kullli'iont to produce drunkenness in om
accustomed to the drug. Ho swnllowec
it nt a gulp , nearly burning out the roe
of his mouth , and within half an houi
ho was dancing about the room like i
wild man , and became so pugnacious ute
to di'lvo his clenched list through a pain
of glass , thereby cutting his wrls
feoverly. A little later ho was porfoctl ;
tober , the olTucUs having entirely passoi
iiway , and lie would only ho convincoi
that ho had gene through the antics
liosorlbed when I showed him the cut
upon his hand.

"Is half a winoglassftil enough t

"On , no , indeed. After a few week
ivn ether drlnkor will require two o
iliron times as much before his ideal o
drunken bliss is realized , and these wh
Jmvo hucoino slaves to the habit aftoi
months of indulgence will drink roguhu
Jy from half a pint to a pint of ether i
day. This is , of course , quite enough t

To give an idea of tlio earo that is bestowed -
stowed upon a bathing dross at Trou-
vlllo , lot mo dosoribo ono among many
I saw , says Julian Ralph in Uarpor s
Weokly. Tlio wearer came out of her
battling machine wrapped in a cloak of
Turkey rod silk. Her hat was of while
straw , with Turkey rod ribbons and
( lowers. Her sandals wore white , laded
with red tapes iliat crossed above her
ankles , and wore there tied
in a bow , The silk cloak
shone in' the sun. It did not oven
partially reveal her figure ; in fact , the
women in these cloaks looked at a dis
tance like Itodoulns. As this lady's fcot
toui'hcJ the water she raised her arms
and snrund them , and the gossamer
cloak foil Into the hands of the bathing
attendant. Then she Blood revealed to
the concourse of on-Iookors , clad as for a
spectacle on the stage. She wore aoot > o
blouse of Turkey red flannel , short tight
red breeches , and red Blockings , ller
blouse was opened in front by two great
lapels , between which was a white shirt
with red stripes across it. Behind , it
had a great broad sailor collar , white
and bunded with rod ,
The extravagances and eccentricities
of the costumes on that beach were won
derful , and altogether they helped to
form as brilliant and gay a seono as ono
could well imagine. Some of the cloaks
were striped , some were grcon , BOIIIO
yollow. Sometimes the suits worn bo-
ncath them matched the cloaks , yet
often they did not. IJut while the skirts
were often short , the arms were often
sleeveless , and I-ovon saw two or thrco
skirts that were somewhat dccollottc ;
there were no costumes worn in the
water that justified tlio pictures com
monly soon in the PiirUiun illustrated
papers. I doubt whether many of the
costumes at Trouvillo would startle tlio
bathers at Narnvgunsott Pier , except
that they were much more costly and
artistic than the bath robes worn at the
Pier.
Police loHploiin o In Ireland.
It was in Tlnpcrary a few months ago
that a popular pastor , Father Hum
phreys ; was espied on the strecVin a
predicament familiar to members df par
liament from Ireland that of being
'shadowed. "
Hero wo understand that word to
mean a following by stealth on the part
of a detective ; out in Ireland tlio direct
meaning is applied , says a writer in
Harpers Weokly. The detec
tives are policemen , and they
stick as close to their victim ns his
shadow , Good Father Humphreys can
not leave his door without being joined
by an armed policeman , who walks close
by his side , keeping stop , whilst another
member of the royal constabulary stalks
silently behind. Ho goes into a pnvis.li-
or's house , his shadows wait by the
door. lie enters a shop , the shadows
follow , and listen eagerly for some word
which may justify the local magistrate ,
according to the frightful per
version of justice vhich ob
tains , In clapping the lather in
jail. If ono of his shadows can entrap
him thus , or , still bettor , if ho can be
goaded to a push or it jostle which can
bo considered an insult to the sacred
profession of constabularlsm , ho will be
promptly hustled into the uridowoll.
Mcantimp his friends are watching him
from a window , vastly amused , it is to be
feared , at his plain disgust ; for when he
stops to look iu a window , tlio "bobbics' ;
stop short ; when ho moves on ,
they stop out. Patrick O'Brien ,
M. P. for Monaghan , is par
ticularly delighted , perhaps because ho
has been through so many scrapes with
these same well-set-up 'follows , whore
blood llowod and citizens were killed out
right that the annoyance of his blmdowed
and revered friend seemed by contrast a
joko. lie opens the window , holding u
small square box under his arm. A little
snapping noise sends a quiver of ulnrir
through a dozen policemen gathered be
fore the house , and bo has bagged three

I'eto McCartney In Kansas City.
Word comes from Columbus , O. , thai
Pete McCartney , king of counterfeiters
is dead. Back in the latter part of the
'OO's McCartney came to grief in Kansas
City , whoa it was but a little village
strung out along the river bunk. Those
were border days then and thotaloo
the arrests roads like a chapter in a bor
der drama , says the Kansas City Times ,
Private Detective Charles Liggett no
ticed McCartney on the streets and wa :
soon talking to him. Pete thought thai
hero was a good chance to dispose o
some of the "queer" and made such n
proposition to Liggett.
"All right , " assented the oflleor
and then ho led the famoui
counterfeiter into a den not 10 (
yards from the pollco station. Oni'o in
side Pete found himself Ipoking dowi :
into the ono big eye of a six shooter.
"McCartney , your game was playotl
once too often. \ ou'vo struck the wrong
man , " said Liggett.
Pete surrendered gracefully and aftoi
spending some little time in thocnuntj
jail was taken to Jofforoon Ollv. Whoi
arrested ho carried a little vallso , whicl
was found to contain $23,000 in sploa
didly executed counterfeits.
In tlioso days McCartney oporaloi
chiefly on Missouri and Mississippi rivoi
boats , passing In person the bogus goodf

"Thoro Is no branch of railroading
that is safe , " is a saying among men
who make their living on the iron rails ,
and a man's long service nnd skillful
knowledge do" ] not throw absolute safe
guards about him , says the Indianapo
lis News. Poor Martin Ryan , who had
the scicnco of railroading down to the
finest notch , was killed by his own train
after eighteen years of service. Hubert

worked for the Pennsylvania company
for twenty-five years , was struck by a

ance has just been made at Milan , says
Dunlap's Cable News Service. While
some workmen were engaged in scraping
the wall of ono of the hospitals of the
city ttioy came upon evidences of a
[ rosco and , reporting the matter to the
foreman , they were ordered to proceed
with a great deal of care. They \voro
rewarded by discovering a copy of the
f unions "Last Supper , " by Leonardo da
Vinci , which was painted in oil on the
wail of the rectory of the Dominican
convent of Santa Mnria dollo-Graoio.
The interest of the discovery is that the
newly found fresco seems to bo an exact
replica of the composition as it was
originally painted by Do Vinci and con
tains details which have disappeared
from the original , owing to maltreat
ment , and tlio partial restorations that
have boon made , notably in some of the
partly legible names and inscriptions
which are traced on the borders of thu

ho could reach the basket , and lie lost

KING OF COCOAS-- " ROYAL COCOA FACTORY. "
Kings are but men , but all men are not kings. Therefore ,
when the Xing of Holland says , as he did by deed of August
12 , 1889 , that he is greatly pleased with
"BEST & GOES FARTHEST , "
and , entirely unsolicited , grants the manufacturers the sole
right of styling their works the Royal Cocoa Factory , a sig
nificance attaches to the act which would not were he
not "every inch a king. "
