OPIUM HABIT CURE.

Nellie DOYLE, the wife OF Chinaman,
who has separated from her husband,
aud is now living with her mother in
New York, was for two years an opium
smoker. Sometimes she smoked fire.
quently during single day, and on no
day did she abstain from the drug unless
she could not obtain it, when she en-
dured agonies OF craving. She now
boasts of having thoroughly conquered
the habit. She says that when she de-
termined to quit visiting the ''joints" in
the neighborhood of her husbands home
she was aware OF the difficulty of the
task she had set herself. She took q
quantity OF the best opium, prepared
like paste for smoking, and rolled it
into little pills. These she intended to
take daily, leosening the number each
day. A few days afterward, noticing
that she was not suffering at all, she
ceased to take the pills. The first day
that she went without the opium she
was i'll, but the second day she did not
miss it, and she says she has never since
felt desire to return to the use of it.
Although aware that this experience is
contrary to that OF almost every other
person who has attempted to break off
the habit, and in violation of all the
rules laia down by those specialists who
have made the drug a study, she Can
give no explanation Of the suddenness
and easiness of her cure.

ANCIENT FOLLY.
THE MILLIONS WASTED By NERO.

After the burning OF Rome, says
writer in the London Quarterly, Nero
gratitied his taste, in entire disregard OF
the proprietors, in rebuilding it. He at
once appropriated n number OF the
sites and large portion OF the public
grounds for his new palace. The porti-
Goes, with their ranks OF columns, were
q mile long. The vestibule was large
enough to contain that colossal statue
Of him, in silver and gold, one hundred
and twenty feet high, from which the
Coliseum got its name. The interior
was gilded throughout and adorned with
ivory and mother-ofpearl. The ceilings
Of tho dining rooms were formed oil
movable tablets OF ivory which shed
flowers and perfumes on the company
the principal salon had dome which,
turning day and night, initiated the
movements Of the celestial bodies.
When this palace was finished, be ex-
claimed, "At last / am lodged like
man" His diadem was valued at half
q million. His dresses, which he never
wore twice, were stiff with embroidery
and gold. He tished with purple lines
and hooks of gold. He never Travelled
with less than n thousand carriages.
The mules were shod with silver, the
muleteers clothed with the finest wool,
and the attendants with bracelets and
necklaces of gold. Five hundred she
asses followed his wife Poppea in her
progresses, to supply milk for her bath.
He was fond OF figuring in the circus
as charioteer and in the theater as a
singer and actor. He prided himself on
being an artist /; and when his possible
deposition was limited to him, he said
that artists could never be in want.
There was not n vice TO which he was
not given, nor q crime which he did not
commit Yet the world, sXc!aims Suet-
onius, endured this monster for fourteen
years, and he was popular with the mul.
titude, who were dazzled by his magniti.
cence and mistook lis senssless profu-
sion for liberaliLy. On the anniversary
OF his death, during many years, they
crowded to cover his tomb with flowers.

CARDINALS CREATED.

The ceremonial at the creation OF a
cardinal is as follows On o Monday
morning the Pope summons the sacred
college and reads an allocution declar-
ing the names Of those whom he wishes
to create. Gould vobis videturT he
asks the cardinals. They stand forth,
take of their skull caps, and bow their
heads in assent. When the consistory
is over, one OF the masters OF ceremon-
les carries TO each newly elected cardin-
nj letter from the cardinal nephew
in the case OF the seven recently created
from the cardinal brother, since Leo
XIII has no cardinal nephew-notifying
him OF his election. To those who live
away from Rome, the news Of the Cleo
ton il carried by one OF the Pope's
guard OF mobiles, along with the skull
cap, or icchetto. The berretta is car
ried by an ablegats. Sometimes the
cardinals hat is sent, but very seldom
il is a mark OF great distinction, grant

Those who are present In Rome go IN

assume the cardinals habits, but not the
mozzetta and berretta, which are laid
upon them by the Pope himself, when
they go to see him a little later, intro
duced by his brother, Cardinal Pecci.
On leaving the Pope's an,e-chamber
each new cardinal gets his zucchetto,
which is presented to him on a silver
tray by one OF the servants OF his holi-
ness. II any sovercigns happen to be
so sojourning in Rome at the time, the
new cardinals so to pay them visit,
starting in a body from the apostolic
palace. On the following Friday sec.
ond consistory takes place, to which the
new cardinals are admitted. At this
second consistory some business is done,
generally the provision OF bishops for
vacant churches or dioceses. Before
nominating the bishops the Pope closes
the mouth (claudit os) OF each new
cardinal, and at the end OF the session
opens their mouths again. giving them
the right to express their opinions in
the meeting, to vote, and also to receive
their Plato cardinalizio, or income.
This is 1000 scudi-nearly $4,000.
Their months being opened, the new
cardinal receive from the Pope the hat,
the cardinals ring, and the title Of their
respective church or deaconry.

FREAKS OF NATURE.

On Il recent Sunday the roads out Of
Junction city, Kan, We're lined with
people going to Fort Riley to view the
wreck made by storm. The freaks Of
the wind, without ocular proof, are
simply beyond belief. The wind pur-
sued spiral course, destroying one
building and skipping the next. The
commissary and quartermaster store
houses were urroofed and a part of the
side of one of them was ripped of as
though it had been sawed in two. The
soldiers quarters, in some instances, are
wholly gone, and in Others partly so.
or the officers quarters, the greatest
wreck is one occupied by Mai. Devices
and DIR. Tilton. How these two men
and their wives escaped death is the
most astonishing story OF the storm.
Where their beds were arc several stones
weighing from fifty to one hundred
pounds each, and the roof fell in at the
ends nearest the beds, while the opposite
ends fell to the floor, but The occupants
escaped withouta scratch. The kitchen
portion OF the quarters occupied by
Lieut.. Dimmick's family was destroyed,
the wreck showing a mixture of stones
and broken cooking ware.
In one end OF the soldiers quarters
great rocks fell among the hunks occu.
pied by the men, but only three were
hurt to an extent that necessitated being
sent to the hospital. The stable, which
suffered the greatest damage, is a de.
cided curiosity. There were probably
seventy-five horses in the stalls on the
side most damaged. They broke their
halters and moved back as the fall came,
which filed the stalls to the depth of
five or six feet with rock, raftery, and
other debris. Only four of the animals
were caught by the falling wreck, and
but one of them was injured so that il
had to be shot. Sections of the roof
were carried several hundred yards and
great stones from the walls scattered
about.

The ladies who grace the pageant OF

Claude and her at. endant, Anne Boleyn.
Claude is haired, and has q COM

crown the richest one in Europe, and

Boleyn, according to the wish OF Mrs.
Vanderbilt, "the fullest justice is done.
Mrs. Vanderbilt rejects Froude's tar
washed account" of that ill-starred
queen, and esteems her perfectly lovely,
and, OF course, of angelic innocence.
I rather sympatbize with Anne, but the
theory that she was snowflake is not
to be seriously upheld. She was formed
by the authoress Of the queer 'Contes,
and took kindly to the French civiliza'
ton OF her time. Nevertheless, she was
too good for Henry.

According to Michelet, she was at the
field of the cloth of gold, and was

SPURIOUS TASTE.
WHERE THE MILLIONS 60 To. =

William X. Vanderbilt has summoned
by cable NJ. Oudinet, the famous painter
on glass, to New York to mount and put
up the seventeen windows which he de-
signed and colored for that millionaire's
grand dining room. The ladies Of the
Vanderbilt family chose the subjects
which NJ. Oudinot has painted. One
sees from their choice that lola has not
yet elbowed G. p. Il. James out of his
place in the American book market.
Sixteen Of the windows are Of uniform
size the largest. which will fill an en-
tire end OF the banqueting room, is
twenty-one feet high, and gives pic
torial representation OF the meeting OF
Francis l and Henry VIII on the field
of the cloth of gold. 1t is divided by
five broad horizontal and four vertical
sashes. Nevertheless, the figures do
not appear "cut up" Henry is on a
powerful white horse, and is seen full
face. Francis is given in profile. The
subject is festive one, and, as Mrs.
VIM. X. Vanderbilt said, calculated to
Inspire ideas Of lofty courtesy, royal
dignity, magnificent hospitality, and
chivalrous sociability."
NJ. Oudinot, who thus revives in New
York pageant in which two merry
monarchs OF the Renaissance were act
ors, was the favorite pupil Of Delacroix,
and caught some of the magical glamour
of his style. There are in all 1873
figures in the big window. They are
massed so as not as perplex the eye, and
are attired as only French co,tumers
know how to dress actors who have to
play in grand spectacular dramas. Each
king has following of knights, squires,
pursuivants, lance. spear, and battle-ax
men. alarms, falconers, bowmen, whip
pers.in, testers, and amusing dwarfs.
There are dogs for the field sports of
their maiesties, and splendid creatures
they are.

NEW YORK'S MORTALITY.

The statistics OF the death rate in New
York city for the year 1881 will attract
the attention of every one. For the
year ending December 81, 1880, the
death rate was 26.4S per thousand in
habitants. For the year ending Decem.
Der 81, 1881, it rose to Bios per thous-
and. The death rate OF London for
1880 was 22.14, and that of twenty
other towns Of Great Britain was 22.7.
Thus London, with all its mass of peo.
pie crowded together in novels and eel
lars in such poverty and filth as can be
scarcely seen elsewhere, showed small
Ter death rate than the cities through
the kingdom. On the other hand,
against the death rate of 26-48 in New
York for 1880, the rates Of forty eigh
other cities of the United States show
an average Of 2.08. Only six cities had
. larger death rate than New York.

When cuckoos slug with elearsst voice,
When orchard blooms are at their best,

This world that is so wondrous fair,
For all the dreaTy winter long
We pine beneath the gloomy skies
The tears are flowing with our song,
And marmurs with our prayers ariss;
But. when the fair, abundant spring
Hath shed her light on woodland ways,
Life is once more a lovely hing,
And all our hearts are iull OF Praisei
And where the winds of April play
Through woven bougts and sprnging flowers,
Where golden caikins lightly sway,
And kingcups gleam through leafy bowers,
There rests rare transparent sheen,
The smile of spring on hedge and tree,
On distant hills with bFacken green,
On springing corn and clover-l1a;
And all the heavy thoughts that held
Our spirits bound IN feiters strong
BY her sweet influence are dspelled,
Chased by her sunshine AMI her song
She brings TO ms in solitude
A presence soothing to the soul,
A feeling as Of hie renewed,
or hopes beyond the worlds eoutrol;
She brings 10 those ''in city pent'
