Johnson's business takes him among pharmacists a good deal, and by way of adding to his disclaimer of being a h.-ifvsh slave ho remarked that every drupi. has among his customers one or more opium "fiends" who do not feel the bondage of the drug, although they arc enslaved. "I saw a clerk mak ing 100 small powders of morphine one day. " said Johnson, "and I asked him why he was putting up so many. The clerk replied that he put up that uum bT every Thursday for a certain lady on renewal of a physician's prescrip tion. The physician had authorized the renewal, arid the patient had been tak ing the morphia for several years In the same quantity. Tho habit probably grew oat of the drug having been pre scribed originally for tho relief of some o!st:nate pain. The patient only knew that the powders kept her pain away. "This same drug clerk also told of the successful cure of a 6ufferer from the opium habit, another lady who re alized her situation and longed to be free. Sho went to live at her phytacian's house. She had been drinking so much laudanum a day. Tl doctor began by allowing her the equivalent in mor j.hine in capsules, taken at the hours at which she had been accustomed to take the liquid. He kept her on a nourishing and stimulating diet and very gradual ly, without the patient's knowledge, reduced the size of the doses of morphia. " After a time he substituted for one of the morphine capt-ules daily one of the same appearance, filled with cinchoni dia, an alkaloid of Peruvian bark like quinine, but weaker. The patient did not feel the difference. Another cincho liidia capsule was substituted daily aft er another week or two, and so on, until after somo month the habitue was tak ing nothing but cinchonidia one day, with, perhaps, two morphine doses the next. As gradually as before these were eliminated, and the patient was told ouo day that she had had no mor phia for a mouth. She was surprised and incredulous, but she at last real ized that he was cured. I don't know that every one could be freed from the opium habit in that manner. "Tho druggist's clerk told me of a fellow employee of his who had a pas sion for ether. He had found him sev eral times asleep or dozing in a heap of excelsior packing in the cellar, and at last discovered that the young man had been stealing ether. Ho would saturate a sponge, put it into a pasteboard cone, hold it ever his none, and thus ana-s- thetize himself. You know that the sensation of lussis under the influence of ether is very pleasant It is akin to the exhilaration of aloohoL The patient about to. be operated upon is in a state of high spirits, no matter how great his anxieties may bo, as soon as the ether has b. gun to intoxicate him. " But in one part of Ireland, vnere the making of 'potheen' has been squelched by the excise, the simple na tives have taken to using ether a prod uct not expensively purified like that used by surgeons. Only instead of in haling it they drink it It induces ex treme exhilaration, then sleep, and the drunkard awakes with a headache, a sick stomach and an unpleasant, sweet taste in the mouth, just as the surgeon's patient dors. le ether drinking makes a man noisy and uarrelsome and reck less while its exhilarating effect lasts, and is in other ways far worse than whisky. A man may be drunk and so ber again in IS minutes. The local cler gy arc very bitter against the excisemen for driving out the comparatively harm less 'potheen. "' New York Alail and Kxpress.

Corn hill Magazine. Th X amber Tbirt-. The superstition that 13 Is unlucky, which is traced back to a sacred source. meets with as many contradic tions as confirmations. The fact that the horn ble fire in the Paris bazaar started at booth lit was telegraphed all around the world, whereas little aoticc is attracted by Nan sen's success with 13 men. At one time 2 was a dreaded number in England, owing to the dynastic disas ters to all roirch second of their name from Ethelred II to George II Yet Napoleon's number through all his life was I, and who could wish for better luck than came to Goody Two Shoes or than that which results at times from having two strings to your bow? Three, which since the days of Py thagoras has been the divine number, shows that it is not invariably fortu nate, for, though the fates are three, so also are the furies. The graces are three, but so also are the judgts in hades and the heads of Cerberus. Then there are the records of three disloyal tribes in Welsh history; there are the three robbers in Orion's belt; there were tho three tyrants at Athens, and 3 in mthology is as unlucky as it is divine. Just so clearly as it has been shown in time that the unlucky 8 con be lucky and that the pleasant 8 can be unpleasant the followers of the late Captain Fowler would show that the unlucky 13 can be the luckiest number there is. So we may aa well regret his departure, while we wish success to his associates. Boston Jour nal. Bis Authority. Daniel Webster's oratory was not al ways of the ponderous order.

SLATE PENCILS, Wba Tory Am Compxaed af and Uow They An ade. Slate pencil undergo a number of processes before they are ready for use, and in making them nearly all of the m""1 labor is done by boys. First broken pieces of slate are put into a mortar run by steam ani are crushed to a powder, which is then bolted in a ma chine such as is used in flouring mills. A fine slate flour results, which is thor oughly mixed in a Lrge tub with stea tite flour and other materials, the whole making a stiff dough. The dough is kneaded by being passed between iron rollers a number of times, and it is then taken to a table, where it is made into short cylinders four or five inches in thickness and containing from eight to ten pounds of material each. Four of these cylinders are placed in a strong iron resort which has a change able nozzle so that the size of the pen cils may be regulated. In the retort the material is subjected to gnat hydraulic pressure and is thus pushed through the nozzle in the shajie of a long cord. As the cord comes through the nozzle it passes over a knife and is cut into tl desired lengths. The lengths are laid on boards to dry and are then placed on sheets of corrugated zinc, the corrugation preventing the pencils from warping during the baking process. The baking is done in a kiln into which superheat ed steam is introduced through pipes. The pencils go from the kiln to the finishing and packing room, where the ends are held for an instant under a rapidly revolving emery wheel, which neatly points them. Finally they are packed in pasteboard boxes, 100 pencils in each box. then 100 of the pasteboard boxes are packed in a wooden box, and they are ready for shipment Philadelphia Times. Boot Royal Titles, The kings and queens of England were not always styled "his" or "her" majesty or after the pattern of that bestowed upon Victoria "her most gracious ma jesty. " Henry IV was styled "his grace;" Henry VL "his most ex cellent grace;" Edward IV, "high and mighty prince ; Henry VII, "his grace and his majesty," Henry VIII, "his highness" and afterward "his majes ty." Subsequently the English kings were styled "his sacred majesty." While on the subject it may not be un interesting to give the meaning of some royal titles thus: King means father; kaiser sud czar, Csasar, or autocrat a contraction of Eamoderebeta ; duke means leader; emperor, commander; hospodar, master of the bouse; khan, provincial chief; landgrave, laud reeve; margrave, border reeve; nizam. ruler; pharaoh, light of the world; shah, pro tector; sheik, cider; sultan, ruler.

One is that the doors are made to turn down and not to swing and have fastenings to hold them se curely when they are shut, so that they can't possibly fly open. The other pe culiarity is in the rack on top. It is ele Tatcd for or five inches and runs around the edge of the stove to keep the pots and kettles from sliding oft Some stoves and ranges used afloat are also provided with crossrods which run from tho fixed rod at the back of the stovo to the rod iu front across tho top of the pots and kettles and hold them down and keep them from shift ing. They are used ia very heavy weather ct whea tho ship is rolling. For some reason these crossrods are more used on British than they are on American ships. When a vessel is in port the front rail of tho rack is usually taken out, and iLen tho cook has an easy access to the top of the stove as he would have with a stove ashore. New York Sun.

The archittwture of Westminster ab bey dates tack to a remote period, but long before any port of the present "glorious pilo" was in existence a Sax on church stood upon the same spot Many years be-fore the conquest the Saxon church was connected with a monastic body of the Benedictine order, which gave the name Western monas tery, or Westminster, to its place of a bod a, to distinguish it from St Paul's, in London, which was known as East Minster. Considered architecturally, the first church here of which we have any au thentic history was erected by Edward the Confessor and consecrated cn Holy Innocents' day. 1065. The greater part of the abbey "was built by Henry 111 in tho styk' known as early English. The w ith its CTandlv beautiful windows, belongs to the fifteenth cen- j tury, as does also the completion of tne nave and the aisles. The extreme length of Westminster abbey is 611 feet the width across the transepts is 203 feet and the w idth across the aisles 79 feet; the height of the roof is 103 feet The fortunes of the abbey have fol lowed and are closely interwoven w ith those of the nation, and many, there fore, are its historical Tssociationa There the sovereigns of England bare been crowned ever since the conquest The coronation stone, brought frcm Scotland by Edward L may still be seen under the coronation chair used by Richard IL This chair has ever since been occupied by English ruler during the coronation ceremonies. Within tho walls of the abbey the funerals o. many crowned heads have taken place, and sovereigns and mem bers of royal families have graves and tombs beneath iu roof. Oliver Crom well never woro a crown, but his re mains were deposited for a time in a vault beneath Henry VTI's chapel with pomp never surpassed by that of royalty. The south transept is known to the world as the "poets' corner," because there, sleeping their last sleep, are Chaucer, Spenser, Ben Jonson, Cowley.

Philadelphia Times. HOW TO ESCAPE COLDS. Mot by Cod.illnc. bat by Becoming- Able to Endure Neceosary Expoaore. It is not always sufficient to point out a danger. It is often of even greater importance to show how the danger may be averted. Most people properly recognize a cold as avoidable and think they are greatly to bo commended for the prudence they exercise in protecting themselves, but if they did but know it they are really doing all they can to make themselves susceptible to colds by weakening their resisting powers. A German professor once wrote a long treatise, with a learned title, on how to avoid catching cold. After trac ing the history of colds from the earliest ages, studying their causes and symp toms and cataloguing the remediei which have been used by the most emi nent physicians of all times he conclud ed with a short chapter on prevention. His plan was to inuro the back ol the neck to drafts by having some one direct a current of air upon it from a bellows three times a day. The writer had the correct idea, al though its practical application was clumsy and he was a long time in reach ing it The best and only way to escape colds is to meet the causes that produce them and not to run from them. Let the body be hardened by a cold sponge bath or even a cole plunge, fol lowed by brisk rubbiig with a "scratchy" towel, every morning Let the clothing be adapted to the season. i though always as light as possible, but keep the neck uncovered no turned up coat collar, no muffler, no boa. Never let the temperature in the house rise above 70 degrees in the winter. Ail every room systematically every day, no nu.vter what the outdoor temperature may be. Always have fresh air in the bedroom. There is nothing poisonous in "night air, " popular belief to the con trary notwithstanding.
