The Gagus Plant.

cit is a species of cactus" he explain
ed, "and, as I said, grows only, to my
knowledge, on Gauptil Island. The ISL
and is small one. but is well populat-
ed by natives of the Malay race. In
the interior this plant grows wild, -four
ishing especially in the rocky soil. It
looks beautiful when growing, as you
might Judge by the bright hues with
which this is spotted. The main stalk
is covered with sharp, nettle-like protu-
berances, and prick from one of them
will cause more pain than handful of
red pepper thrown in your eyes. When
young the plant consists of but one
stalk, which shoots up straight to a
height of four or five feet. It is brill
iart scarlet in hue Toward winter a
number of ofshoots spring out, until
the thing looks like broom stood up
right. Green and purple specks then
appear all over it. A grove of gagus
SHRUBS is very pretty sight. But it is
the properties of the plant which dis
tinguish it. Opium is a potent drug,
but I will back the extract from the ga
gus stalk to effect more damage on
the human system than all the opium
in the world. The natives cut the
plant in the early spring. After they
have gathered sufficient quantity, they
put it in large bowls and crush it with
huge stones. A grayish sap runs out
freely and this they collect and drink
after letting it ferment, which it does
easily. One drink of pint is enough
for an ordinary man, but [ have seen
natives drink more. Within half an
hour after imbibing it the drinker be-
comes perfectly stupid and lies around
like log. The spell lasts day or
more, during which time the natives
say they live IN paradise.
DO white men drink it?"
81 have known sailors to try it, but
they never tackled it twice. Three
years ago had man in my crew who
was driven crazy by one drink"
"What effect does it have upon the
natives?"
'FWell, that is where the gagus dis
plays itself. If you could see some of
the terrible examples Of gagus drink
ing in Gauptl you would be Mortified.
The first effect of the liquor is to soften
the bones and gradually eat them away.
There are natives there, the victims of
gagus, who are indeed homeless and IN
able to walk or use their limbs. They
then begin to wither away like this
stalk until they die in misery and con-
vulsions. Immediately after death the
head of the corpse becomes soft as pulp,
no bones can be felt; the skull is com
pletely eaten away. The body begins
to swell as though it were inflated with
gas and immediate burial is necessary.
SLOW long does it take to thus dew
astate human being?" asked the re-
porter.
"That is according to the appetite of
the victim to the stuff. Usually two
years will finish the hardest man. Oh,
the suferings of the slaves to the drink
are terrible"

pie tree, and, when on the topmost
limb, he slipped and fell to the ground.
He was picked up in an insensible con-
dition. After watching by his bedside
through many weary hours, his mother
perceived signs of returning conscious
ness. Leaning over him, she asked him
if there was anything she could do for
him now that he began to feel better.
Should she battle his forehead, or
change his pillow, or fan him ? Was
there anything he wanted Opening
his eyes languidly, and looking at her,
the little sufferer said: "Yes; I want
pair of pants with a pocket behind" He
got them.

CHRISTMAS MORNING.
BY ]. NJ. COE.

II was on the glad Christmas morning
Ere Chanticeer sounded the dawn,
While yet all the bright stars were shining
Adowr on the ermine- cad lawn;
And hilsides and houses and tree tops,
Rejecting the moons silver sheen
With the brightest of jewels were laden
Jewels tit for a king or queen
Then I crept up the stairway so softly,
And on tiptoe walked Ger the hall floor
To the room where my darlings were sleeping
Then paused for while at the door;
/ said sieepiag-but was mistaken;
Through the night they had scarce closed their
eyes;
/ could hear their sweet ringing laughter
Their words of delight and surprise.
/ cautiously peered through the keyhole,
Lest my noise should break their glad spell,
And listened with earnest intentness;
Each voice was as clear as bell.
Near their bed on a table, was lighted
lamp I'd extinguished at night,
Revealing scene of enchantment
Than angelic revels more bright.
For there on the bed. sitting upright,
Were Bertha, my eldest, and Bess,
The sweet little pet of the household
Each clad In her snowy n1ght-dress
Each with her hands full OF tr1nkets,
While over the coverlet lay
Balls. albums and toys, and the sweetest OF dolls,
Wooden horses, anu jumping Jacks gay.
Said Bertha: ooh, look at my presents
That Santa Claus brought in the night
This dolly, so sweet and delightful
She looks so charming and bright
Her hairs braided and tied with a ribbon,
And her eyes move like yours and mine
Rosettes on her sweet little slippers,
And her dress-Oh, isn't it finer
And Bess, all absorbed with her own gifts,
Said: 'Jes' see what he has broughtm
Your dolly is pretty but my lumping-Jack
think is rs cute as can be!
And then see my ball, aud my little toy-house
l jes' think Old Santa is wise;
He knew what wanted, and brought 1t to me-
Oh, what delicious surprise!
l stood at the threshold moment
Stood there with my hand on the key;
Should burst Tudely in On their pleasure
And break up their innocent glee?
For lighting the lamp should chide them
And darken their glad Christmas morn?
No No! could not disturb them
On the day the dear Saviour was born.
Then on tiptoe / slowly retreated
Softly crept down the stairway once more;
Pondering Ger what I'd seen that glad morning
While watching there at their door.
To these daringS that heaven gave to me
May / always be loving and mild,
And they and the Saviour shall lead me
To become again as g child.
