Hunger results from the demand of thetissues for fresh supplies of buildingmaterial so that expenditures of energymay be promoted and oftissue destroyed in tile ordinary wasteprocesess of life may continue It iausually says the Youths Companion-an indication of a healthful activity otthe component parts of the body

Civilized life so fully supplies thewants of the average individual thatcravings of hunger are not often experieixSd Artificial expedients to stim-ulate a Jaded appetite are not uncom-mon Highly spiced and flavored foodsbelong to this class but in generalshould avoided Food delicatelycooked and tastefully servcrl howevercreates a similtude of bunger when noneexisted before a circumstance which un-questionably promotes digestion and assimilation

Hunger of a genuine sort is experienced only when the demand made uponthe tissues by mUEcular exercise Is con-

siderable Soae experience real hungerfor the time on a sojourn in thewood or in a hunting or fishing campwhen the outdoor life novel surround-ings abundant supply of pure air andlong of exercise stimulate the sys

The Gokfen Knight-

By MINNA IRVING-

A sUm young knight in golden mallCame riding down the field

Of yellow metal was his lanceHis cuirass and bis shIeld

And yellow the waving plumeThat danced upon the breeze

And yellow too the silken carlsThat rippled to Ills Knees

Ks baited by a silver streamAnd in the moonlight pale

The chilly dews like Jewels shoneUpon his gleaming maiL

A wind that told of coming frostHis saffron feather shook

And sent the red October leavesIn showers upon the brook

But all along the eastern skyA blinding glory came

As morning robed the kills with lightAnd crowned the woods tqith flame

And when I saw the golden knightIn glittering armor pass

provided for recuperation from an attackor illness or a state of debility the ccm-

valescent gains strength and usuallytakes on weight in spite of the greateramount of muscular activity Such aseason is often and should always beproductive of lasting benefit Not Infre-quently however the Individual breaksdown after his return home One fre-quent reason for this Is that the appe-tite Is not allowed to wait oe hunger asIt should the feeding Is of tea forced

Hunger In every instance awaits thestimulus of vital activity It Is ratherthe result than the cause of a buoyantvitality Consequently a failure of theappetite should not be held responsiblefor the lassitude or weakness which mabe experienced after the return from anouting

To a large extent the degree of hunger should be the Index of the amount o

certain other books of the day nothing less than canvasback and ter-

Opium the Mother

of Many Crimes

By Chief of Police MUTE of Allegheny Pa-

In my experience with the criminal classes running through manyyears I have found that the opium habit furnishes an incentive to mcracrime than any vice to which unfortunate humanity can be addicted

Were we to live the life intended for us a life free from excesses ofall kinds we would remain in our normal condition But the excesses ofwhatsoever kind produce the abnormal cqpditjoa of man

We know the effect of tobacco in immoderate use well as of coffeeof tea and of any and all kinds of stimulants Depravity ensues moraland physical degeneracy follows and when a maR deteriorates mentallymorally or physically he becomes a fit subject for the perpetration ofcrime

The use of any and all manner of of stimulants taken to excess promotes the desire for that which leads and directs the victim the result overwhich he has no control but the most dangerous of all and that which hascaused fearful increase of crime to which can he attributed

the felonies perpetrated is the use of opinm iu its many formsThe opium habit is the sum of all villainies It debauches more of

mankind than drink Some of the most expert shoplifters white in thevery act of larceny are under the influence of the narcotic and beforeentering upon their expeditions must fill themselves with this drng

Under my observation some of the most cunning acts have been de-

tected and even after the accused was placed under arrest it was withdifficulty we detected that the unfortunate was an opium fiend

The habit has gone out not only into the criminal classes of ourbut into the upper circles as well and wherever there is tlia

slightest tendency to its use crime will follow as the night follows dayThe Chinese opium joints continue to exist j Chinese by the way

are the most cunning class of people with whom we have to deal

The youth of our land are fast traveling on the downward gradeOpium in all forms is sold on the slightest excises Victim after victim

falls into the awful pitIt is high time that the causation as suppression cf this

vice be discussed and earnestly considered with a view toward remedial

DETENTION HOSPITALS-

A Boston newspaper prints a communication of considerable lengthfrom a woman who recnetly spent some time In the smallpox hospital Its

evidently to relieve the minds of unfortunate poopie who may bein terror of going to the penthouse by assuring them that it is not a-

very terrible place after all There is no doubt that this Boston paper wasmost sagacious in publishing the article

There are millions of people in this country who have an unreasoningdread of hospitals in general and particularly of hospitals ia which conta-gious diseases are treated It is not too much to say that in their minds itis much worse to be obliged to go to than to suffer the tortures of the infernal regions in their own homes

To a certain extent of course this feeling Is natural If there isabove all others when homeloving person wants to stay with his

family it is when be is ill Yet in case of contagious diseases it is possibleto treat patients much more successfully and with infinitely less danger to i

public when they are segregated In buildings specially prepared for theiruse Every town of any size should have a building properly fitted up andthe public should be fully informed of its suitability to the purpose forwhich it Is intended-

It is a lamentable fact however that the average town does not possessany such building and that there Is really some basis for the fear of thepatient and hi friends that he will not comfortable in the place to whichie Is taken This is which ought to have attention It costs thetown less to fit up a proper place for the reception of smallpox patients thanw have concealed cases of the dlsea se spreading contagion through thecommunity j

The forester while not ignoring the

better forest than be found

then forestry Is not an art to be prac

bering of our forefathers making tiltmost profit for today and themorrow is more attractive Since theforester curtails his profits by makingprovision for posterity forestry can

only be practiced by the state or by

great investment corporations operatingon so large a scale that the distant fu-

ture must enter Into the calculationsof this generation

Strictly economic considerations de-

mand that the state prevent the despoil-

ing of our American forests by lumbermen and pulpmakers The yearly lum-

ber harvest in this country now amounts-

to more than forty billion feet Greattracts of virgin forcstland have been de

vasted and no provision made for thefuture The Increasing demand fordaily newspapers and many editions 01

them is having a marked effect on for-

ests close to the centers of densest pop-

ulation A single New York newspaperconsumes 140 tons of paper every dayor COflOOfl a year Every day in the

thirty acres of timber must be cutto feed the presses of this single newspaper This is an exceptionally largeconsumption of wood largest-

in the world but other newspapers ap-

proach this ccnsuiaption and the yearlycut of pulpmakers is rapidly lacreasIng In consequence the available supplies of spruce are diminishing in theUnited States and the pulpmakers aremoving northTard into the Canadianforests for their raw material
