Salt will curdle new milk; hence, in

the salt should not be added until the

How Opium is Smoked.

head resting on bamboo or earthen.

Near him stands an opium lamp, the
flame of which is protected by glass
shade long enough for the point of the
flame to project above the top OF the
shade. The smoker takes wire and
dips it into little box containing pre-
pared opium. A small quantity adheres
to the point of the wire, which is then
held over the flame of the lamp until
the heat has swollen it to about ten
times its original size. This is rolled
over on the fiat side of the clay bowl,
the opium all the time adherlng 10 the
wire. When it has been rolled to

the lamp, and this alternate roasting
and rolling is kept up for at least ten

aperture in the pipe is so small that
it can only receive the smallest
quantity and the most careful manipu-
lation is needed to transfer the tiny ball
of opium from the end of the wire TO
the bowl Of the pipe. The point of the
wire is inserted into the hole of the pipe
and worked round and round tilt the
soft opium forms into conical shaped
ring around the wire. By twirling the
wire the drug is gradually detached
from it, leaving hole through the
opium about as large as the hole of the
pipe bowl, with which it communicates
The pipe is now ready and the bowl is
held over the lamp so that the opium
comes in contact with the flame. A
noise ensues as the smoker
sucks at his pipe. After each successive

The value of crushed ice as a dress

out by Sir James Earle, is confirmed by
DR.. Richardson. The ice, after being
reduced by crushing or scraping to a

is mixed with fresh lard into q paste,
which is placed in thin cambria bag
and laid upon the burn. This is said
to Danish all pain until the mixture has
so far melted that fresh dressing is
necessary.

BATTLES OF THE MIND.

Do not boast of battle heroes
Who have conquered In the strife,
On the bloody fields Of carnage
Strewn with many noble life.
Do not boast of noble statesmen
Or the grand deeds they have done,
Battling for the right of freemen,
Till the victory they have won.
Do not boast of wealth or honor
Gained by many noble fight,
Or Of virtues, or Of friendship,
That have come by doing right.
All these oonquests are but trifles
To the victories that we find
When we look upon the battles
That are fought within the mind.
Long and fierce the battle RACES
When the forces both are strong,
But the struggle proves blessing
When right triumphs over wrong.
When ambition does incline us
Others rights to diregard
Then will conscience be aggressive
Till the battle RACES hard.
Well for us while In the struggle,
And the right inclined to go
II none come to give us counsel
Who to conscience Is foe.
Oh, the ferceness of the battle
When lust and passion strong
Are arrayed against our morals,
Striving hard to lead us wrong.
When these Vices both are conquered
Causing us to wear q frown
For our passions still within us,
Like Banquo's ghost will not stay
''down.'
All through life the fight continues,
Growing weaker toward the last,
If the right has always triumphed
In the battles that are past.
No one else can share our battles;
We must fight them all alone,
But the right will always conquer
II our reason has the throne.
Do not then let impulse lead you,
Or by feelings be controlled,
But let reason be commander
While you journey through the world.
Boast not then of deeds of valor
Or Of honors you may find,
They will not compare with battles
That are fought within the mind.

CRUSHED BY FLESH.
Barnum's Giant Sits on a Meddlesome
Neighbour.
Middlebush IN. J.) Telegram.

Mddlebush IN. JJ Telegram.
Colonel ROuth Goshen, who formerly
travelled throughout the country with
P. 7. Barnum's circus, was in town to-
day. He is nearly nine feet high and
weighs in the vicinity of five hundred
pounds. The colonel lives on a farm q,
few miles from this place, and says
that he has given up the circus business
for good. A few months ago his wife,
little woman with bright brown eyes
and vivaicous manners, left the colonel
and is now suing for divorce. He has
become somewhat unpopular among
his neighbors on account of the suit,
many of them believing that the col
onel is more to blame than his wife.
On several occasions they have annoy
ed him by making insulting remarks,
but as the colonel is good-natured
man he took no notice of their taunts.
After calling upon his lawyer to-day
the giant started for his farm. Just as
he was entering the front gate neigh
Dor named James Cannon drove by.
Cannon is well-built, middle-aged
man, and is an active adherent of Mrs.
Goshen in the family trouble. When
he saw the colonel, Cannon stopped his
horse and dismounted from the wagon.
He walked over to the gate and in a
sarcastic tone of voice remarked:
"Ah there, Kurnel. You're a fine
one, you are"
"What do you meanP" asked the
giant.
"Oh, you're no good" said Cannon.
81 don't want anything to do with q
man who will turn his wife out of doors,
and then sue for divorce"
The giant grew somewhat riled, and
replied:
"You tell an untruth. 1 never turned
my wife away. And don't want any
impertinence from you either.''
"Oh, you DON'T" said Cannon. 81
think 1 can beatyou myself. You're big,
but you're no good"
AS the colonel was about to reply
Cannon jumped over the gate and ad-
vanced upon him. Cannon struck out
for the giants head and managed to get
in blow on his waist. The colonel
was about to retaliate when Cannon
drew knife and made an effort to stab
him.
"Stop that, you william" cried the
giant.
Then he grabbed Cannon by the nape
Of the neck and lifted him clear off the
ground with one hand. The giant then
,ook the knife away from him. Gan
ION struggled iercely and kicked the
giants shins. That was more than the
after could stand, and he cuffed Gan
ION on the head with his open hand.
Then he deliberately threw him upon
he ground and quietly sat upon him.

The plan of using the enormous wa

trio railways in Switzerland is about to
take definite shape, the idea being to
connect the towns of st. Moritz and
Pontresina by an electric railway four

tive power to be supplied by the noun
tain streams; the line, in case the plan
proves success, to be extended con-
