Opium Farming in China

About the best news from China, under
ordinary circumstances, would be the
fact, shown by the regular trade returns,
that the sale of Indian opium has con
siderably declined, of late, in the Celes-
tial empire. The trade quotations are
correct. Indian opium is out of demand
in China, but this does not intimate that
use and abuse of the vile drug has dimin-
ished in that country. The fact is, the
Chinese have taken to cultivation of
peoples, from which they produce a
native grown opium at least as good as
that previously imported from India,
and one hundred and fifty per cent.
cheaper! If the production and sale of
Indian opium should greatly diminish,
under these new circumstances of pro-
duction IN China, it must seriously affect
the trade and public revenue of Queen
Nictoria's Indian Empire, whence the
export of the drug to China has been to
the extent of $50, 100000 a year. As
regards China, the high price of Indian
opium has hitherto been the only detri-
ment to Its general consumption. Home
grown, low-priced, and abundant, it can
scarcely fail to be most injurious, be-
cause ease easily attainable in that vast
realm.

How the Oyster Builds His Shell

From Frank Rochland's Letters.
The body of an oyster is poor thing,
apparently not able of doing anything at
all, yet what a marvellous house an
oyster builds around his delicate framel
When the oyster is first born he is a
very simple, delicate dot, as it were, and
yet he is born with his two shells upon
him. For some unknown reason he
always fixes himself on his round shell,
never on his fiat shell and being once
fixed he begins to grow, but he only
grows in summer. Inspect an oyster
closely, and it will be seen that it is
marked with distinct lines As the
rings we observe III the ection of the
trunk of tree denote years of growth,
so does the marking of an oyster tell us
how many years he has passed in his
" bed' at the bottom of the sea. Sup
pose an oyster was born in June 10,
1870, he would go on growing up to the
first line we see well marked, he would
then stop for the winter. In the sum-
mer of 1871 he would more than double
his size, in 1872 he would add to this
house. IN 1873 and 1874 he would again
so on building, till he was dredged up
in the middle of his work in 1875, when
he would be five and half years old.
The way in which an oyster builds his
shell is a pretty sight / have watched
it frequently. The beard or fringe of an
oyster Is not only his breathing organ,
but hist eeding organ also, by which he
conveys the food to his complicated
mouth with his four lips. When the
warm, calm days of June come, the
oyster opens his she'll, and, by means of
the fringe, begins building an additional
story to his house. This he does by de-
posting very fine PARTICLES of carbonate
of lime, till they at last form substance
as thin as silver paper and exceedingly
fragile; then he adds more and more, till
at last the new she'll is at least as hard as
the old shell. When oysters are grow
ing in their shells they must be handled
very carefully, as the new growth of
she'll will cut like broken glass, and a
wound on the finger from an oyster shell
is often very troublesome.

THE HORRORS OF WAR.
An Episode in the Russo-Turkish Cam
paig-n of 1911.


In 1911 the opposing Russian and
Turkish armies stood facing each other
on the opposite banks of the Danube.
During the night, between the Sth and
9th of September, the Turks succeeded
by making feint, and 50 attracting the
Russians to spot some three miles be-
low the real point of passage, in throw
] ing force of 1000 men and four guns
across the river, short distance above
/ Giurgevo. The first attempts of the Rus
slams to drive this small body back into
the river were successfully withstood !:
reinforcements were rapidly brought
over from the right to the left bank,
finally, 10000 men and fifty guns were
assembled on the northern shore. Every
effort to advance further and drive back
the Russian army, which had fallen
back into an intrenched position, was,
however, repulsed; the Turks themselves
being obliged after time to construct
intrenchments, to withstand the counter
attacks directed against them Unable
to drive back the invading force, the
Russians desisted from any further
active measures against it, but, bringing
strong fotilla of gunboats up the Dan
ube, to prevent supplies being carried
across the river into the Turkish camp
on the left bank, they quietly awaited
events. The provisions of the Turkish
force, thus completely isolated, unable
to advance because of the Russian force
in front of it, unable to retreat because
of the flotilla which efiectualIy prevent
ed any bridge being thrown across the
river, soon began to run short. The
weather became cold; but there was no
fuel with which to kindle fires Under
these circumstances the sufierings of the
men were very great. For some time
there was horseflesh, but it had to be
eaten raw, as even the tent-poles had
been cut up and burned. Hundreds died
daily, and their comrades had not
strength to bury them. Disease was CON
sequently soon added to famine, so that
when finally, on the Sth of December,
peace was concluded, but 1900 men,
who are described as being but living
skeletons with scarce sufficient strength
to stand upright, were left out of the
10000 who three months before had
crossed the river.

Brown read no more The letter
dropped to the floor and h, sank back on
the lounge completely overcome
What is the meaning of this, sir9''
demanded the lady in stern tone. Are
you not MIR. Thomas Browng'
Yes, yes, ma'am, but-but-I amt
your Thomas Brown, am afraid"
Mirinda uttered scream and tainted
But Brown instantly became himself and
stepped forward to her assistance, but
Mrs. j. waved him back and admins
tered restoratives herself. When the
daughter had come to, the mother con-
tinued:
And why, let me ask, sir, had YOU
the audacity to come here and pass for
my husbands friend?"
g The letter he wrote was handed me,
and | was the only Thomas Brown |
knew of | concluded that | must have
known Hiram Judkins when | went to
school. 1t is 50 long since thcnp' he
groaned.
The little lady turned contemptuously
away, and calling the servant, instructed
her to get Mr.. Thomas Browns valise
from the room which Mr.. Thomas Brown
had occupied and show him the front
door,
q intended to have explained mat
tiers to you this morning, madame y
he fluttercd as the servant left the room.
You can explain them to my hus-
band, sir, if you have the impudence to
come when he is here" and the little
lady, with a firm step walked to the
door, took the valise from the hands of
the servant who was just entering, and
handed it to him, and politely bowling,
wished him good day.
Brown, with an appealing look at Mi
rinda, whom he discovered for the first
time was laughing at him, resolutely
picked up his hat and walked out Of the
house without another word.
He took the next train for Saltwater,
and says he will never again be tempted
to 90 on wild goose chase. He is still
single, and hasavowed his determination
to remain so, as he entcrtains fears that
should he enter wedlock Miranda Jud-
kins might sue him for breach of
promise

THE WAR CALDRON.

Double. double, tolls and troublesl
Bnrns the fire, the caldron bubbles,
And the hell-broth boiling over,
We its elements discover,
From the bottom springs to light
Brain Of willy Muscovite,
And his hand in gauntlet hid
In the skin OF peaceful kid,
And his tongue Of treachery
Cancered with a chronic lie.
And fiint-stone, shaped with art
To the semblance Of heart
First stock, these, for broth Of war
Cooked in kitchen Of the Car.
Double, double, tolls and troubles,
Burns the fire, the caldron bubbles,
Kissed from out that seething pot.
Comes the whisper, Trust him not,
Murd'rous is the Islamite.
Stay, ere smitten, rise and smite!''
After pause, the same voice, "Lo!
Ismalite! the Christian foe
Plots thy death this very hour;
Strike for life, then, crush the Giaour."
Double, double, tolls and troubles
Burns the fire, the caIdron bubbles.
Straightway from its lips OF bale
Burst all sounds of mortal vail
Shrek 81 woman, infants cry,
Strong mans shout Of agony.
Weitriue, then upon Hood,
Mixed OF lurid fame and blood,
Lo! the doomed Of the dead, the dying;
10. the chaser and the flying;
Lo, the headsman's grisly knife;
Lo! the shrcjs Of comely life;
Awful eyes in dying stare;
Hands Topped ofin net Of prayer;
LimbleSs trunk. and trunkless head
Bcauty's flower dishenored-
All adown the CHASTITY spate,
Whirled by murder, lust, and hate,
Drunk with venom from the tongue
That DER the land Fears poison flung
Lo: the whisp'rer's handiwork,
Wrought on Christian and on Turk;
Lo tn ingredients, sleeping got,
By q Holy Russia - for the pot.
From its centre casting up
Yankee cartridge, gun Of KrGpp;
Tons Of Russian bounce and brag;
Half unfurled, the Prophets flag;
Bulls and bears, of every nation,
Goring, roaring, " Death. Damnation,"
Armies swarming cross the Pruth,
Not one little word OF truth;
Then lull, half hope, half fear
And, with eyeballs red and blear,
oozes forth sleek Iguateff
Whisprinrs " War to Us is grief;
But from oath there's no recoiing;
Car has sworn-his blood is boiling
His great name is compromised
Then, our troops are modified;
We've borne the last that honor may,
In vain, my Lord. Oh, by the way,
Perhaps, if st in different key,
The bcastly Turk might fail to see
The motif OF that little song,
And take and sing it? Can't be wrong
TO hoodwiuk kite in such a cause;
Well sing he must, or lose his claws;
For, as | said, we're compromised,
And, POUNDS! your Lordship, modified"
