Effects of Hashish.

This drug, the Canna5is Indica of the z.
D. fharmacop@ia, the reisonus product of
hemp, grown in the East Indies, and other
parts OF Asia, is used in those countries to
a large extent for its Intoxicating proper
ties, and is doubtless used in this country
for the same purpose to a limited extent.
Its effects, although perhaps similar in
some respects upon all who take it, vet
vary considerably according to the consti
tuition of the individual condition of mind
and body, etc., at the time of its admins
tratlon. writer in Applston's Journal
gives his personal experience of its effects
as follows:
II have often taken the drug, rather for
curiosity to discover what its attractions
might be, than for aught of pleasurable
excitement L ever experienced. The taste
OF the potion is exactly what mixture of
milk, sugar, pounded black pepper, and
| few spices would produce. The first result
is contraction of the nerves of the throat.
which is anything but agreeable. Presently
the brain becomes affected; you feel an
extraordinary lishtness of head, as it were:
your sight settles upon one object, obsti
natsly refusing to abandon it; your other
senses become unusually acute-uncomfort-
ably sensible-and you feel tingling which
shoots like an electric shock down your
limbs till it voids itself through the extrem-
tiles. You may stand in the burning SUM-
shine without being conscious of heat, and
every sharp pain is instantly dulled Your
cautiousnsss and your reflective organs are
painfully stimulated you fear everything
and everybody, even the man that shared
the cup with you. and the servant who
prepared it; you suspect treachery every
where, and in the simplest action detect
objects the most completely vilainous.-
Your thoughts become wild and incoherent,
your fancy runs frantic. If you happen to
exceed little, the confusion Of your ideas
and the disorder of your imagination will
become intense. l recollect on one occa-
sion being persuaded that my leg was
revolving upon its knee as an axis. and
could distinctly feel as we'll as hear it strike
against and pass through the shoulder
during each revolution. Any one may
make you suffer agony by simply remark
ing that particular limb must be in great
pain, and you catch ct every hint thrown
out to you, nurse it and cherish it with a
fixed and morbid eaSerness that savors
strongly of insanity. This state is very
dangerous one, especially to novice; mad
ness and cat.lepsy being by no means
uncommon examinations to it. If an assem-
bly, are under the influence of the drug,
and a single individual happen to cough or
laugh, the rest, no matter hsw many, are
sure to follow his example. The generally
used rsstoratives are a winsglassful of pure
lemon-juice, half dozen cucumbers eaten
raw, and few puffs of the hookah; you
may conceive the state of your unhappy
stomach after the reception of these RENE
dies. Even without them you generally
suffer from severe indigestion, for, during
the intoxication, the natural hunger which
the hashish produces e1cites you to eat a
supper sufficient for two days with ordinary
circumstances.

SUNLIGHT A NECEssITY.-Sun baths cost
nothing, and are the most refreshing, life
giving baths that one can take, whether
sick or well. Every housskseper knows
the necessity of giving her voolens the
benefit Of the sun, frsn time to time, and
especially after long rainy season, or a
long absence Of the Gun. Many will think
of the injury their clothes are liable to-
from dampness, who will never reflect that
an occasional exposure Of their own bodies
to the sunlight is equally necessary to their
own health. The snn-baths cost nothing.
and that is misfortune, for people are
still deludsd with the idea that those things
Only can be coed or useful which cost
money. Let it not be forgotten three Of
Gods most beneticent gifts to man-three
things the most necessary to good health
sunlight, fresh air and water, are free to
all you can have them in abundance, with
out money and without price, if you will.
If you would enjoy good health, then see
to it that You are supplied with pure air to
breathe all tho time that you batho for an
hour or SO in the sunlight and that you
qusnch your thirst with no other fluid than
water.--Journal Of Health.

- Mans nearest relative in the great
family of nature is the ape. This is a
familiar fac! but it is not SO we'll known
that man approaches in bodily conforma-
tien more AID mere nearly to his inferior

Quite recently SEINE skulls asa skeletons of
races csntsm porery in France with the
reindeer have been discovered; and they
have afforded material for establishing the
above conclusion. The characteristics of
the alinsl, the low forehead, snd the pro-
jecting mouth disappear in the mans con-
which the conflict entails develops the
brain the forehead becomes upright, the
skull higher and more dome shaped,
and the projecting countenancs recedes
under the skull. This chain of deductions
was one Of the results Of Pal@ontological
Congress lately held At Copenhagen
Another not uninteresting item of intelli-
gence there accepted and thence dissent
mated was, that the primeval Europeans
our progenitors, were cannibals, and saw
ages of the lowest class; inferior, in spite
Of their white skin, to the lowest type Of
existing savsgery,-the Australian. Europe
was probably the latest peopled part of the
world. The last have become the first.

Solomon had many wives and we must
believe that some of them were not good
tempered, as he writes at is better tn
dwell in corner Of the housetop than with
brawling woman in wide house., We
can imagine how the philosopher was driven
into the garnet by the disputes of his hea-

to the never-ceasing rain on the roof, penn
ed that fac stn'ile, "a continual dropping

The Dead Year.

The ivy over-shines the wall,
Her perple poison berries she'd;
Ash clusters blacken to their fall:
The year is dead !
A feck of amber, in the cloud
That swathes the east, in dawn and light
And day, that gloom and mist enshroud,
Makes welcome night.
AS one who, seeing life depart,
PondcrS the wonder of our lives,
So, at the dead years feet, my heart
Strange thought rcvives.
| think Of one, a blossom set
Shining adnlidst tho SHOWS of years:
Sweet in remembrance, i'll regret,
Even in tears.
| see the bright rose of her face
Flushed with the tender flush of youth,
And murmur, amorous of its grace,
''Blue eyes fer TRUTH
Blue eyes-the summer sky less blue
They were my rapture, my despair;
l knew them bright, and felt them true,
Blue eyes that were!
Again watch the cloud that lends
The future all it's rainbow dyes;
Again its veil the Phantom rends
And rapture flies.
The anguish of each winter day
Comes back into my heart anew;
The charms death could not steal away
Once more | view.
And in the wailing Of the winds,
The moan of branches swaying bare,
Again my soul re-echoed finds
Its own despair.
The ivy over-shines the wall,
The berries of tho ash are shed;
Under the hollys coronal
The year lies dead!

quired, yet weeks were needed before any
thing like list could be prepared.
Bierstadt, the artist, who knew Mr.
Thompson well, and of whose own paint
ings there are some dozen or more, ex
presses an opinion that similar collection
cannot now be put together for half a mil
lion dollars. No single hall in the coun
try is sufficiently large to exhibit them
Some idea may be conveyed by the fact
that when they were removed to theil
present resting place the actual cost Of
carriage was about $500, and in making ar,
engagements to the collection to New York,
not less than ten freight cars will be re
quired, even if packed close without box
ing or the waste of any supsrflueus room.
Upon the catalogue made by Mr.. Young
are found signed pictures Of all schools,
many unquestioned originals by such ar
lists rs Sir Charles Eastlike, Thomas Law
renee, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Sir Peter Lely,
Godfrey Kneller, Allan Ramsay, George
Morland, Gainsborough, Phillips, Hosarth,
Meadows, Etty, Turner, Nasmyth, Rum
ney, Opis, Copley, Stewart, Newton, and
Stoddard of the English school, and Bou-
cher, Lambinet, De Bufe, Mignard, Baron,
Burnet, Isabey, De Dreux, of the French.
Italian, Dutch, and German, are represent
ed by Schidoni, Guercino, Teniers, See
bach, Paul Zuccarelli, Vandyke, Van Os-
| tade, Diaz, Boucher, Van Mas, and many
| others equally well known, whose names

There are large number of copies and Or
iginals by the most celebrated artists of the
fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth cen
turtles, such as Titan, Rembrandt, Rubens,
and others. Many portraits Of the beau
ties of American society are buried beneath
the weight of superintendent pictures,
and will be brought to the air and sunshine
once more.
American artists are largely represented,
and many of the early works of men now
famous may be found here, some of them
giving the early premise Of genius now at
its zenith. The names Of Sully, Inman,
Bierstadt, Durand, Brown, Peale, Hart,
Birch, Doughty, and nearly every one who
was known ten years ago may be found
largely represented on the catalogue. The
very last picture added to the collection
was the " Sleeping Beauty" by Wight, of
Boston. 1t was purchased by Mr.. Themp-
son before it was finished, for the sum of
SO, 900, the artist retaining the right Of s1
hibition for a certain time. After being
on view at the rooms of Messrs. Williams
IS Everett, the well-known art dealers, it
was finally passed over to the business
agent of the absent purchaser, who never
saw it in its finished state, and since which
time the beautiful "Guineth' has had
supplementary sleep of near half score of
years.

Expedients Of DueIists.

In the days of Peter the Great, duelling
in Russia went very much out of fashion,
by reason of that monarch's passing an
cdict that any man Who challenged another
should be hanged, whether the meeting
took place or not. General Ease and Prince
Dolgoroucki, nevertheless discovered 4
means Of repairing their wounded honor.
:" We may not fight, Prince" said the
General; shut let both of us stand in yon-
der embrasure, against which the enemy
are directing their fire, and remain there
till one of us is struck" This sagacious
proposal being accepted, both accordingly
repaired to the spot indicated, and, in the
presence of their own army as well as that
of Sweden, "stood erect with one hand on
the hip, and locking fisrcely at each other
until the Prince was cut in tive by cannon
ball" If this proceeding was not very
sensible, it was at least . fair one, and the
same may be said of that professional pro-
posal of the physician who suggested that
himself and his rival should select at ran
dom from couple Of pills, the one poison
Gus and the other incocuous A duel
between barber and grocer, with razors,
resulted on the contrary (as might have
been expected in the victory of the former,
who had, OF course, precisely the same
advantage as is enjoyed with pistols by the
better shot.

Changing Clothing.

Many persons lose life every year by an
inJudicious change of clothing, and the
principles involved need repetition almost
every year.
If clothing is to be diminished, it should
be done in the morning, when first dress
ing.
Additional clothing may be safely put on
at any time.
In Northern States the under garments
should not be changed for those less heavy,
sooner than the middle of bay: for even in
June, fire is very comfortable sometimes
in New York parlers.
Wooden flannel ought to be worn next to
the person, by all, during the whole year,
but thinner material may be worn after
the first of June.
A blazing fire should be kept in every
family room until ten in the morning, and
rekindlcd again an hour before shutdown
up to the first week in June, and from the
first day Of October.
Particular and tidy housskeepers by art
ranging their tireplaces for the summer too
early, oftentimes put the whole family to a
serious discomfort, and endanger health,
by exposing them to sit in ehilliness for
several hours every morning, waiting for
the weather to moderate, rather than to
have the fireplace or CRATE all BACKED up;
that is, rather than to be put to the trouble
of another fixing up for the summer, they
expose the children to Group, and the old
folks to Inflammation of the lungs. The old
and young delight in warmth; it is to them
the greatest luxury. Half the diseases of
humanity would be swept from existence
if the human body were kept comfortably
warm all the time. The discomfort of cold
feet, or Of chilly room many have e1per-
fenced to their sorrow; they make the
mind psevish and frstful, while they ex-
pose the body to colds and the inflammations
which often destroy it in less than a week.
