FRANCE
Owing to alarming ravages made
by the opium habit iu all classes o:
French society of late, a bill more
strigently to regulate the sale of
the drug in its various forms lias
been drafted there and will shortly
be introduced in the Chamber of
Deputies. In the meantime general
orders have beeu issued by the
police prefects of Paris, Toulon,
Marailles and other clli'S, to keep
a sharp lookout for the traffic iu
all its phases and make arrests
relentlessly wherever culorits may
be found. The feelings of no one,1
regardless, of their prominence, are
to be spared.
.Mme, Lasaile, formerly Viscount
ess de Ralsne, has 'ust bee:i
fined $120 in the correctional court
here for the illeal possession of the
drug. She lives In a m.iguiflcent
house in one of the riches* and most
exclusive quarters of P-nis. with j
several millionaire Amj leans for
neighbors. Her home is near Porte ;
Dauphine, the fashionable, as well
as principal entrance to the Bois d>
Boulogne.
The former Viscountess home I
was raided by policemen in uniform
In the hall the police commissary
found magnificent sets of opium
pipes with full paraphernalia for j
"cooking," etc. Her drawing room j
was a model of its kind, being gor
geously furnished with priceless
Chinese bric-a-bracs, draperies am!
lanterns. A soft rosy light warmed
up the room, and, in a position of
prominence, was a divan, six by
twelve feet long, upon which sev
eral persons could lie aud smoke to
gether.
Mme. Lasaile denied that she
ever accepted a cent from Iter guests.
She didn't need to. She liked to
smoke herself and those of her

The Panama incident is looked

EXAMPLE OF OUR DISRE
GARD OF THE RIGIITS OF

is even pointed to by some as an in
dication that the United States
plans in due season to conqucr and
annex all of the remaining coun

friends who cared to, came to see
her and they smoked opium to

opiutu in Loudon. Following the
fining of Mine. Lasalle twelve drug
gists were found guilty of selling
toiaiuo and sentenced to pay fiues
ranging from $10 to $-10C and to
various terms of imprisonment. In
vest igatious show that sti'dents in
the Latin quarter who snuff co
caine o! use opium in some form or
other, are alarmingly numerous,
while many naval office's and men,
espei illy those who ha\e served in
tlie Orient, are regular patrons of
joints in Marseilles, Brest and Tou
lon, i tie latter port being France's
principal naval base.
As profits are large tl'e trade in
morphine, ether, cocaine and other
narcotics is carried on 011 a big
scale, especially in Paris, some
dealers actually distributing the
supplies to dealers by automobiles.
The drugs ultimately are delivered
to users in various guises, some
times hidden in bouquets of violets
or other flowers often by women
and girls posing us flower-sellers.
Montmarte is another great drug
using center, many actresses and
demimondaiucs of tha quarter being
addicted to the habit. Recently an
. pe, the property of a Montmartre
won;m who died of drug-using, was
found to be a confirm* u cocaine
The French government is mak
ing the most serious attempt yet
to stop, or at least redm e to the
minimum, the dope habit. While it
is admitted that it is practically
impossible to stop all ill>t it traffic
in drugs, the aim of the authorities
is to 121...V0 -ill access to the poisons
:y that new victims will not
appear. So, as soon as "he hope
less drunkards disappear, France at
least, will l>c practically free from
the vice.

Herb Growing In England. j
The production of medicinal herbs is
a very considerable industry in Eng
land. Throughout Surrey, Suffolk,
Hertfordshire and Norfolk there are
many large herb farms. Among the
herbs chiefly grown are rue, worm
wood. com troy, hareliound, peppermint,
rosemary and lavender. The English
oils of lavender and peppermint-are
particularly famous, bringing from two
to five times as much as the same oils
produced in other countries. Of late
years the street sale of little bunches
of fresh lavender, especially in Lon
don. has consumed a considerable part
of the hirge annual supply. — London
