The physician is not seldom to blame
for the formation of this habit in his
patients. Says Profeaeor Ball. In giving
cautions on this point: 'i would not
deny morphine to tlie ataxic patient,
racked with pains beyond endurance;
nor to the victim of dyspepsia when ha
begs for some aMKuapement of his agony ;
nor in ciinfw of neuralgia, whore the suffer
ing i extreme. But I would be remorse
less in denying it to hysteric patients, to
hypochondria!, to neuropathic subjects
of every kind. Above til, I
take care not to let the patient make the
injection himself, nor to put into hi
hands the means of doing so."
These cautions to practitioners reflect
none too severely upon a profession

The first effects of the morphine habit
are no doubt agreeable. Depression
parses away and a feeling of comfort
takes its place. The barometer rises.
AH tilings look well. That which was

The extent to which the daily allowance
is carried by those long habituated to
morphine ia simply amazing when we
consider the potency of this toxic agent
It is not un usual to find personB con
suming thirty, forty or even sixty grains
daily. These quantities are, of course,
reached by a slow increase, else they
could not be borne.
The first requisite to a cure is submis
sion to restraint. Without thia any at
tempt at cure is certain to result in fail
ure. The power of self control and de
termination is noi adequate to the case.
Moreover, if the habit has been at all
prolonged there will be a degree of dis
turbance during tlie first period of ab
stinence, and a degree of illness and
petulance following. For these reasons
seclusion is requisite, and seclusion under
restraint. Following the jierturbation of
the first eight or ten days a degree of
well being is experienced. The sufferer
has passi-d tbe turning point and is be
ginning to mend. During the early
period it is essential that a skilled and
willing nurse be in attendance both day
and night. The case should not be with

There are many alleviations within
reach of the attending physician. Abund

It must te admitted that among gen

this Condition. Even among specialists
there are those who are disiHwed to make
light of it. Hut it were simply cruel to
overlook the real suffering of this proc-ss

Where the sea salmon go is as much a
mystery ttxlay as it has ever been. After
leaving tho coast they disappear. Stray
fish have been found in very deep water
hundreds of miles from any salmon river,
but their marine feeding grounds are still
undiscovered. In the spring they sud
denly reapfM-ar at the mouths of rivers.
While in nalt water they never jump at
a flr; the moment they strike fresh they
rise freely. When going up stream they
frequently stop in pools as though to rest,
and when descending go most of the
time tail first, letting tho current carry
them and keeping head up tlie river.

having a sharply and deeply barlwd
point, so that in piercing the fish, if it
goes in far enough, it cannot be easily
got out, let the fish be as ugly as he may.
The iron is so arranged, in connection
with a pole and cord, that the cord can
be detached from the harpoon, the pole
pulled back, and the harpoon left firmly
fixed in the now maddened fish the

That they will attack a man, even a

case of a young Catholic priest who wa
attacked w hile bathing on the California
shore, in water just above his hips; he
was fearfully gashed and nearly killed
before he could get ashore. Sometimes,
in its fury at being harpooned, it rushes
at tlie small boat and thrusts its ugly
sword up through the boat's .bottom.
Woe to tbe man it hits!
Our harpooner fastened to a fish that
was secured, as it happened, with little
trouble, though tlie harpoon only pene
trated a little way into his big carcass.
He proved to be UT feet 5 inches long,
and weighed undoubtedly 450 pounds.
Much larger ones have been caught, but
rarely. We also secured two others, not
so large. And it was with the second
one that there was an exciting time. He
