Opium Cigars.

There are few persons outside OF
those in police circles and dealers in
articles consumed by opium users that
are aware how widespread is the use
of this 'noxious drug in San Francisco.
Druggists can tell of the numerous
calls for it in liquid and powdered
form, and the police have only a partial
knowledge of the number ct places
where opium smoking is surreptltious-
ly carried on. Cigarettes impregnated
with the fumes of the drug have long
been sold, and in this way the habit OF
opium smoking has often been uncon-
sciously acquired. If the several
forms mentioned in which the drug Is
made to supply the demand were not
enough, another e nd more insinuating
at the same time as innocent in ap-
pearance as any, has been introduced.
Probably some of the readers of this
item have recently seen small, elegant
" made boxes, an inch or an inch and
half wide by two inches long filled
with the tiniest of cigars-toy cigars
they look like-much better made than
the larger article. If curiosity had
prompted an examination these little
cigars would have been found to have
been made of the best tobacco and
very fragrantly scented These small
specimens of the cigar-makers' craft
are the new form in which the appe-
tite of opium smoking is indulged in
in more open manner than it can be
usually followed by the devotees of the
pernicious habit. Opium is too costly
to be mixed with the tobacco of these
small cigars, and it is question if il
is not in a more poisonous shape thar
when used in the way of liquid sucf
as laudanum, or a powder, or in th'
usual pasty form. The tobacco-anC
good tobacco is used--is put in ;

A Spoiled Picture.

st. Petersburg has narrowly escaped
losing The most precious OF its art
treasures. the celebrated Madonna del
la Statfa of Raphael The picture,
which for more than three centuries
and half belonged to the Staffa fami-
ly, was purchased in 1870 by the en-
peror of Russia for 912,400, and was
by him presented to the late Empress,
who at her death bequeathed it to the art
museum at the Hermitage. The heat
ed air of the gallery in which the pict-
ure was hung recently split the square
pine panel on which Raphael painted
his masterpiece, and for time it was
feared that the damage was lrrepara-
bic. A certain artist named Sldoroff
volunteered at last, however, to set
matters right. After carefully sup
porting the face of the picture with
linen backed by slab of marble, he la
boriously rubbed away the panel, first
with files and afterward with pow
dered glass, and then succeeded in
mounting the thin remaining film on
canvas. In the course of this delicate
operation it was discovered that in
stead of the book which the Madonn;
in the picture now holds, there wa
originally a pomegranate, toward
which. the infant Jesus stretched ou
his hand with childish curiosity.-St

In 1857 the three chief officers OF
the ship Castilian came upon a sea-ser-
pent in the ocean in the vicinity OF st.
Helena, declaring that there heaved it,
self out of the sea, about twenty yards
distant from the ship, creature with
O. head shaped like nun-buoy, and
seven or eight feet in diameter at the
largest part, with kind Of scroll or
hood of loose skin encircling it neal
the top. 1t seemed to be some 2oo feet
in length, and was of dark color
spotted with white. Combining all the
facts and allegations that could be cole
lected. the case made out,by the advoo
Gates of the sea-serpent theory was
that the creature usually appeared in
unfreduented seas and calm weather;
that it had slender body OF perhaps
100 feet in length, a broad, snake-like
head with prominent eyei, u long and
narrow neck and fms and was COM

Ruinous Reading.

An example of the pernicious in
fluence exercised upon the mind of the
young by the perusal of the exciting lit
erature prepared especially for them is
found in an occurrence that took place
few days since in Murkham, Ont. For
some time business houses and dwell
ings have been burglarized, and no clue
could be obtained to the perpetrators.
At last the suspicion of bankers wife
were directed to young man employed
in the office of her husband, and she
detected him in the act of hiding stolen
plunder. He confessed his crime and
the mystery of the burglaries was re-
vealed.

In Case of Fire.

If your clothing takes fire, your life
may depend upon your own good
sense. Slide the hands down the dress,
keeping them as close to the body as
possible, at the same time sinking to
the floor by bending the knees; roll
over on the floor, and, if possible, get
hold of a rug or tear up the carpet
and envelope yourself in it. Nothing
so quickly quenches the fire as to
smother it. 1t may be done with a
coat or bed-clothing, or effectually by
tearing up carpet promptly and en-
veloping the person in it.-HaWs

SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.

We read, says the Scientific Anert-
can, every now and then of cases IN
which burglars are supposed to have
rendered their victims unconscious by
holding cloths wet with chloroform to
keyholes before entering an apartment
Of course, the absurdity of such fic-
tion is apparent. Whether sleepers
can pass from natural to chloroform
sleep if it is held near the face is still
question.
Drs. Sitherwood and Hanlan have
expressed the belief that excessive
mental work produces rapid decay OF
the teeth. AS an explanation OF the
alleged fact, another writer suggests
that the overworked brain steals all

the teeth, or else that too much study
causes the general health to deterlor'

mental work can of itself induce seri-

THE OLD MEETING HOUSE.
How the New Englanders OF Sixty Years
Ago Attended Church.

Ago Attended Church.
The Westinghouse of New England
was never lighted, except by the sun,
until singing-schools made it necessary
to introduce candles and rude chande-
liers. Night meetings in the meeting
house were considered highly indeco-
rous and questionable even by the most
Jealous. No firing was provided for.
Stoves were utterly unknown and fire.
places were not to be thought of.
Even the rude and dangerous devices,
which afterward were matured into the
not uncomfortable foot-stoves were at
first unknown. The New England
meeting house was never warmed by
artificial heat till from 1910 to 1921.
Of a cold winter morning the breath
of the worshipers not unfrequently
would seem like smoke from hundred
furnaces as it came in contact with the
frosty atmosphere. The walls which
had been almost congealed into ice by
the fierce northwesters of the preceding
week, would strike chill into the
frame of many of the congregation.
That they should come to such place
as this, on snowy morning, plowing
through unswept walks, and plunging
through fearful drfts-man, woman
and child-and sit with half-frozen
feet under long discourses on knotty
doctrines, make us shiver as we think
of it and say from the heart "herein is
the patience of the saints" And yet
the writer's memory can distinctly re-
call the observation and experience OF
scenes like these. The experience was
not so cruel as it might seem Mani
fold devices against the cold were pro-
vided. Some that are now deemed in
dispensable were not needed. The
free-handed and open-hearted hospital
ity of the houses near the meeting
house was freely proffered and as read
lily accepted. Enormous kitchen fires
were expressly replenished for Sunday
uses, before which scores of worship.
ers from distance warmed their per
sons and ate their luncheons, and al
which they replenished their foot
} stoves. The merchant, the Mn-keeper
the squire, the doctor, the retired
money-lender, the wealthy widow o.
. Lady Bountiful who lived near th'
meeting house, all esteemed it thei
S duty and their pleasure to manifes
3 this reasonable hospitality. Sligh
