riiyalrlaua Alarmed at the Growth of the
Habit Among Women.
Physicians and specialists on nervous
troubles are treating numerous cases of
extreme insomnia and nervousness in
young women without disclosing to
them that their condition is the result
of practicing the new vice of smoking
tea cigarett(& The habit is increasing.
From observations of its effects a west
side physician declares that "a tea ciga
rette is a genuine brain excitant Any
one who uses it and yet does not work
with her brain would go half crazy with
nervousness, but with those who do
brain work it is different, for the stimu-
lus produces strange intellectual activ-
ity.
'' After a couple of green tea cigarette«
a poem, for instance, will almost write
itself, I am told by one of my literary
patients. The effect of the tea cigarette,
while stimulating to the brain and its
flow of thought, acts as a pure sedative^
to the rest of the body, quieting restless-
ness, uneasiness or actual pain. The
after effects are bad if they have not
been worked off by unusual mental
work. /
"At soiȣ houses green tea cigarettes
are liiurttid around after dinner, and I
kutnv three actresses of considerable
reputation who give tea smoking parties
twice a week. One woman, to break off
this habit, on which she has expended
nearly #10 a week, has lately volun-
tarily placcd herself under private re-
straint. tSlie had concealed her habit
from her husband by using an artfully
contrived cigarette case. It resembled a
bunch cf Leys, each key containing one
cigarette.
"S'o much has the habit spread that
several tobacconists and druggists are
keeping t. a ciganttes in stock for regu-
lar i usUmiers. The active chemical prep-
ai-.itit,n cf t u i. (i.ci'ie, just as caffeine
is of coffee ami niec tine c f tobacco.
When theiue is administered to a frog
or a small animal, it is found that it
chiefly influences sensations which caf-
feine or coffee cioes not. In linger doses
theiue produces spontaneous spasms or
convulsions, which caffeine cioes not.
This is, in fact, the ultimate effect of
smoking numerous tea cigarettes, finally
producing tits or convulsions.
"Theine also acts as a lcwal anaes-
thetic, quieting painful nerves. Green
tea contains much more theine than or-
dinary black tea. ir'o yen si e that the
habit of Miiokiug tea cigarettes is terri-
bly pernicious."—New York Press.

A Pt-cnliar People Wlio Live on the Coast
Line cf Alaska Territory.
The Iunuit race of people, commonly
and also corruptly callcd Eskimos, occu-
py almost the entire coast line of Alaska,
with the numerous outlying islands
from the boundary line westward along
the r.rctic coast to Bering strait; thence
southward to the Alaskan peninsula,
over the peninsula ard the Aleutian is-
lands, and eastward and southward along
theccastto Mount St. Llias, with the
exception of a comparatively small ter-
ritoiy at Cook's inlet, aud also at the
mouth of Copper river, at which points
the Tinneli tribe of Indians from the
interior have forced their way to the
coast. Living constantly on or near the
sea, they irom infancy have not the
slightest fear of the dangers of the deep,
and at an early age bt < i me bold navi-
gators and skilled fishi rmen and sea
hunters.
The word "innuit" in their native
tongue signifies people, and as such is
ustd by them to designate those of their
own race as our people. "Eskimo" is a
word of reproach and has been given
them by their n« iphbor-, the term mean-
ing "raw fish eaters." The Innnits of
Alaska are physically much superior to
those inhabiting the eastnu side of the
continent, in Greenland and Labrador.
Thi y are all of the same race and speak
a common language through each local-
ity, and often each villag from the At-
lantic to the Pacific will possess a dia-
lect distinctively its own. Those of our
territory are tall and muscular, not a
few el thim teing 6 feet in height.
Thty have small, black eyes, high cheek
bollix, large mouths, thick lips, coarse
brown liuir and fresh, yellow complex-
ions. In many instances men will bo
seen with a lull beard and mustache,
and in some particular families their
manly beauty is further enhanced by
wearing a labret lelrw each cerner of
the mouth in a hole cut through the
low i r lip ft r the purpose. They are a
got d natured people, always smiling
when spoken to, and are fond of danc-
ing. tunning, jumping and all athletic

Rock Picture* In Oregon.
W. B. Whitten:ore while in Alturas,
Or., recently discovered some remark-
able hieroglyphics about 15 miles north-
east from the north end of Warner val-
ley on the edge of what is locally known
as the "desert" in Lake county. Mr.
Wliittemore says the hieroglyphics had
been cut with a sharp instrument in the
surface of the hard basaltic rock. They
cover the face of the bluff for a distance
of about three miles and consist of pic-
tures of Indians with bows, arrows and
spears, beside s deer, antelope, dogs and
wolves, ge t se, ducks, swans and reptiles
of various kinds. Intermingled with these
animals are characters which, of course,
he te.uld net th cipher. He says that the
ext cation of the pictures was very good,
and he is satislied that it could not
have beeu the w ork of ordinary Indians.
Thioupliout the entire distance the char-
acter and pictures are in rows.
The Indians of the vicinity have no
knowledge of the meaning of the hiero-
glyphics cr el the people who ages ago
chi.-t led them on the surface of the
reeks. From the description given, the
picti.ie writing bears a close resem-
blance to that found in Mexico and Cen-
tral Ana rica. If this supposition is true,
a carciui study might reveal to the
arcliii olegi.-t .seme insight into the origin
or wanderings of a dtail and forgotten
civilization.—Cor. fc-an 11aneiit o Call.

OSTRICH HUNTING.
Profitable Sport Tliat In Making the Af-
rican Ulrili Scarce.
An ostrich chase is very attractive
sport, or rather the sale of booty is so
great as to attract hunters. The Arabs
give themselves to it with a real passion.
Mounted on their fine little horses, they
try as much as possible to fatigue the
ostrich, for as it is 8 feet high and has
very strong legs it possesses a quickness
cf movement which (he best horse can-
net attain. It has great endurance.
Overtaken by the huutcr, it seeks to de-
ft n-l itself with its feet and wings, but
U'tno often it still strives to escape by
night, uttering a plaintive cry. In fact,
tbe ostrich is deprived of the power of
flight by reason of its great size. The
muscular force with which nature has
endowed it is not equal to lifting such
a weight Its peculiar organization has
made it the courier of the desert, where
it is able to quickly traverse the almost
limitless expanse.
Tbe Arab knows very well that it is
the habit of the ostrich to make great
detoors about its nest in a circle, fie
chases it, then, without ceasing until it
is almost there, when, won oat, it suc-
cumbs.
ct nncction Dr. Cyrus Ham-
lin, the wt ?1 known missionary to Tur-
key and the founder of Robert college,
Constantinople, is reported by the Wash-
ington Star as telling a humorous story.
Among Dr. Hamlin's friends and
substantial helpers was a Philadelphia
gentleman, whose name could not be re-
called by the doctor, who was then in
Turkey. Every incident connected with
tht ir interviews, even to the street and
number cf the house in which his bene-
factor had lived, was as plain to the
doe tor ;u> if the events had occurred but
yesterday, but to save bis life he could
not think of the gentleman's name.
As time went on this failure cf mem-
ory caused him serious annoyance, and
he adopted all sorts of expedients to
bring back the name. He would take the
letters of the alphabet one at a time and
think over all the surnames he had ever
heard, but to no avail. Then in his
imagination he would start down the
street where his friend had lived, enter
the house, go through the ceremony cf
introduction and repeat word for word,
as nearly :is he could remember it, the
conversation which had taken place be-
tween them, but still he could not recall
tbe name.
When, after 30 years, he returned to
his native land on a visit, he took the
trouble to go to Philadelphia, in order
to settle the question which had been
puzzling him so long. He visited the
house, but found only strangers, who
could tell him nothing of the people
who had lived there so many years be-
fore. So finally Dr. Hamlin abandoned
the search, thinking that here at last
was a ease where something had been
thoroughly presented to the human
mind, and as thoroughly effaced
One night, after he had returned per-
manently to this country, he attended a
large dinner where were several dis-
tinguished psychologists. During tbe
evening the conversation turned upon
the subject of memory, and the well
known scientific principle was discussed.
This was too good an opportunity to be
lost, and Dr. Hamlin proceeded to relate
his experience at length, as an example
of the opposite kind.

HEE PEOPLE.
Texas is a cosmopolitan state,
but native Americans predomin-
ate. The negro population of the
state is small compared to other
southern states and the "race
problem" cuts no figure here. The
state is settled largely with immi-
grants from different parts of the
Union, those from tbe southern
and western states predominating.

liOU EfiTEA D IAW8
Are the most liberal, aud her col-
lection laws the most lenient to be
found in any state in the Union.
These laws not only provide
against misfortune, but give the
'amily a guarantee against waste-
rul extravagance and bad manage-
ment on the part of the husband.
The following extracts from the
state constitution will give an idea
3f the protection which the state
throws around a family:
"Art. 17, Sec. 49. The legisla-
ure shall have power, and it shali
be its duty, to protect by law from
foreed, sale, it,o^rUu11,j;>°rtion oM h^
families, and also of unmarriec
adults, male and female.
TAXATION
Is light, our state ad valorum tax
is now 20 cents on the $100, and
oar state school tax is 18 cents
»n the £1Q0. County tuxes do not
jften reach 50 cents on the $100.
LAND.
improved lands are worth fron.
<10 to £50 per acre.
Our lands produce a greater va
it ty of crops than can be found it
tlniost any other county. Thej
nave the rare advantage of bring-
ng both wheat and cotton crops—
something not found in man;
places.
ROAD3.
Good roads reach into every sec-
lion of the county and substantia
brielges span all streams.
EDUCATION.
We have ninety public schoolb
in Ihe county outside the city oi
Gainesville—eighty-six white and
fonr colored. These schools run
on an average of six month each
year.
<lSec. 50.—The homestead of a
family shall be and is hereby pro-
jected from forced sale for pay-
ment of all debts except for the
purchase of money, the taxes due
thereon, or for work and material
used in constructing improve
ments thereon, anti in this last
case only when the work and ma-
terial are contracted for in writ-
ting, with the consent of the wife
given in the same manner as is
required in making a sale and
conveyance of the homestead; noi
shall the owner, if a married man,
sell the homestead without the
consent of the wife given in such
manner as may be prescribed by
law
"No mortgage trust, deed or
other lien on the homestead shall
ever be valid, except for the pur-
chase money thereof, improve-
ments made thereon as hereinbe-
fore provided, whether snch mort-
gage or trust deed or other lien
shall have been ereated by the hus-
band alone or together with his
wife; and all pretended sales of
the homestead involving any con-
dition of defeasance shall be void.
"Sec. 51. The homestead nat in a
town or city, shall consist of not
more than 200 acres of land, which
may be in one or more parcels,
with the improvements thereon;
the homestead in a city, town or
