Opium Smoking,

Neither Shy Leo nor any Chinaman
will admit that opium sends him to
sleep. Il no go to slecpee," he says, in
his low, musical way. Il sometimes
smokee till no can sleopcc. Then l
walkee about, and then smolce again"
His grave, still manner suggests that he
lives somewhere nearly midway between
tho world Of reality and tho land OF
dreams. Even while hc is speaking, hc
retires to small dark room ut tho back
Of his shop, and sinks down with legs
crossed, on low bed. Tho appliances
for opium-smoking are already there,
just rs no has left them some time be.
fore. They consist Of wooden tray,
lamp, small receptacle for opium,
piece Of strong wire, and q pipe. The
latter is a cumbrous implement, some
what resembling flute, with cup.
shaped piece Of wood fitted into tho
mouthpicce. Tho lamp is diminutivc,
and is covered by sort Of inverted
glass tumblcr with a small round hole
ut the base. Resting his head upon q
pillow, Shy Lee draws tho tray towards
him and begins to prepare his pipe.
The process is long and tedious, but APP
parently productive Of a deep and
solemn delight. Shy Lee proceeds
slowly, carefully, and with q solemn
smile. A little Of the opium is taken
up on the end Of the piece OF wire and
held over the lamp, where it half burns
and half boils, as II it were resin. Then
a little more Of tho opium is taken up
and similarly treated. When it Is
burned sufficiently, he rolls about on the
bowl Of his pipe, still attached to the
wire, until it has been converted into
small cone. This he inserts into per-
foration in the wooden cup already
mentioned, withdraws the wire, and
fattens the opium with his finger He
is now ready to smoke, and holding the
bowl of his pipe over the light Of the
lamp, he sucks ut the mouthpiece with
vigor unknown to ordinary smokers,
at the same time cxpelling the smoke
through his nostrils. Twenty seconds
or 81. and he again goes through the
same labor Of preparation, with the
same smile Of enjoyment. As he con-
sumes one little cone Of opium after an
other a film comes over his eyes, and he
stares with set features; but he il still
sufficiently conscious to be aware that
some courtesy is demanded Of him. and
SO he dreamily prepares another pipe
and hands it to his guest.-Ne,c York
