Origin of Opium.

According to the Bengali legend, there
once lived on the banks of the holy River
Ganga rishi, or sage, in whose hut, made
of palm leaves, there was a mouse which be-
came favorite with the seer, and was en-
downed by him with the gift of speech.
After while the mouse having been fright
ened by cat, at its earnest solicitation was
changed by the rishi into a cat; then,
alarmed by dogs, into dog; then into an
ape, then into bear, then into an elephant,
and finally, being still discontented with its
lot, into beautiful maiden, to whom the
sage gave the name of "Postomani," or the
'spoppy-seed lady" One day while tending
her plants, the king approached the rishi's
cottage, and was invited to rest and refresh
himself by Postomani, who offered him
some delicious fruit. To deceive the king,
she told him she was a princess whom the
rishi had in the woods and had brought up.
The upshot was that the king made love
to the gi1l and they were married by the
holy sage. She was treated as the favorite
queen and was very happy but one day
while standing by well she turned giddy
anu Icll luIO Jut WdlcI hC ism
then appeared before the king and begged
him not to give way to consuming grief, as
surfing him that the late queen was not of
royal blood. Said he:-
"She was a mouse, and according to her
own wish, l changed her successfully into
cat, a dog, an ape, bear, an elephant
and lovely girl Let her body remain in
the we'll; fill up the well with earth. Out
of her flesh and bones will grow a tree,
which shall be called after her, "Posto !"
that is the "poppy tree" From this tree
shall be obtained drug called "opium,' !
which will be either swallowed or smoked
until the end of time. The opium swal-
lower or smoker will have one quality of
each of the animals to which Postomani
was transformed. He will be mischievous
like mouse; fond of milk like cat
quarrelsome, like dog; filthy like an ape
savage, like bear; and high-tempered like
queen.

Lets See, What's Your Name"

The fellow who wrote the following had
a death-like grip on the situation;
"In nine cases out of ten when man
has to ask the above question he would
rather see his last cent roll down a crack
than do it. But it is asked every day in
banks and other business places-and
printing offices. A man who keeps an ac-
count comes into the bank or other bust
ness place, and the cashier smilingly says,
well old fellow, how are your and holds
out his hand for a shake. The man has
done business there often and the cashier
knows him like book. But pretty soon
the man asks to have something done
which requires knowledge of his name
by the cashier, and the latter soon finds
that he's stuck. The cold chills begin to
run down his back, and he feels as though
he would like to be alone minute SO as
he could kick himself, He would know
the name if he were to see it, and he be-
gins to go through the books in the hope
of coming across it, but it eludes him ey-
cry time, and finally in desperation, he
turns around with sheepish look on his
face and says: Lets see-what is your
name?' Ever afterward there is a certain
degree of coldness between these two men.
But some business men are sharp. When
they get stuck on a name they will ask the
customer to please spell it. at the same
time remarking that they believe it is not
spelled correctly on the books. If the
man happens to spell Smith, the ques-
tioner feels bad, but that don't happen
often. Other business men say boldly;
Your name has slipped my memory for
the moment Brown, comes the reply.
'Oh, know, mean your first name, and
by this subterfuge great deal of pain and
worry and bad feeling can be avoided. L.
Publishers have their own times with their
names They carry thousands of names
on their books and most subscribers expect
to be recognized. They know the editor,
and it doesn't strike them that it's hardly
possible for him to know all of them. He
does know their faces well enough, per-
haps, and tries to think of their names,
but the effort is usually fruitless. The
subscriber, as rule, says 4 wish to pay
my subscription IF he adds james
Graham, Sumerhill,' the editor feels much
like giving him the paper free for one
year..

Household Dont's.

Don't stand when you can sit just as
well.
Don't put off the mending from week to
week,
Don't you know that vinegar will clean
the isinglass in the stove-doors?
Don't you know your floor oilcloth can
be washed in butter-milk or kerosene?
Don't give little children two languages
to learn-6rst baby-talk, then afterward
true pronunciation.
Don't hesitate to place piece of zinc on
the live Goals in the stove; it will clean out
the stove-pipe.
Don't fail to be clean and tidy in every
nook and corner, but don't be slave to a
shining stove and carpet.
Don't cherish the idea that you will
catch cold if you feel bit of fresh air, or
know there is an outlet for heated, impure
air.
Don't throw away old suspender rings,
but sew them to the corners of kitchen-hold-
ers, serving better purpose than loops to
hang by
Don't fiirt dirt from one piece of furni-
ture to another and call it dusting, but take
it up carefully in dusting cloth and shake
it from the window.
Don't talk servants or family matters to
callers, and don't tell the exact date of their
last call. They will be likely to make the
interval longer the next time.
Don't fail in conversation to occasionally
pause and give the listener an opportunity
to speak, and don't mistake polite listening
prolonged, for interest in your subject.
Don't lose a moment of the day; finish
one piece of sewing before commencing
another; don't fail to plan the work that
several things may be attended to at the
same time.
Don't fail to rest yourself during long
days sewing by changing your seat occa'
sionalIy, and in warm weather don't fail tC
remember that washing the face and hands
will be found very refreshing.

"Dont's" for Women.

Don't trade off all your husbands old
clothes for a pair of china dogs and then
tell him.
Don't have more than a dozen places for
the button-hook.
Don't communicate unpleasant news or
ask favor while eating. The heart is not
easily touched when the stomach is empty.
Don't gather up all the receipts and notes
that he has put carefully away on the sit
ting room table-and tuck them in the fire
the moment his back is turned.
Don't leave hair in the comb, or your
neck curls where they will stick to the hair
brush. Don't put long hair on the soap
or in his toothbrush purposely.
Don't put pins in your curl papers or let
your crimping pins dangle on your forehead.
They are denominations, and feminine i'm
plements of warfare that men despise.
Don't waste your breath in useless vitu-
peration against his favorite chum. Guilt
vate the chum-ostensibly-when your
husband is not around, and matters will
assume different aspect.
Don't tmonopolize every hook in the closet.
Graciously tender him one nail for his very
'own-and then, in mercy, hang your
"Mother Hubbard" your palermo, your
shopping bag and bonnet in some other
place.
Don't be unreasonably vexed if he is not
ready for church as soon as you are. If
he doesn't start to get ready till the bell
begins to ring you mustn't expect the same
result as with yourself, who had the whole
morning before you.
Don't ask where he has been the moment
he enters the house, or where he is going
if he starts out for a walk. 1t nettles him,
and men hate to have such pointed ques-
tions sprung upon them. Besides that we
live under free flag.
Don't impose upon your husband because
he is good enough to assist you little in
your housework Don't leave the stove
handle in the red-hot stove, and don't ask
him to empty the ash-hod. Draw line
on the ash-hod and don't run free horse
to death.
Don't disturb your husband while he is
reading his paper by asking foolish ques-
tions. He may be only reading the latest
scandal, but he is as much interested as
though it was foreign news or market re-
ports. Be patient, and when he comes
across anything he thinks you can COM
prehend perhaps he may read it to you.
Don't be explicit in giving directions.
When you ask him to go up stairs for your
portemonnaie, tell him it is either on the
table, or in the further corner of the left
hand side of the upper bureau drawer, OF
in the pocket of your brown dress in the
closet. He will have no trouble in finding
it-if you can tell him just where it is,
especially the pocket.
