ORIENTAL HASHEESH,
A Powerful Drug That Brings Sleep

A Powerful Drug That Brings Sleep
and Enchanting Visions.
The romantic and beautiful villa Of
a rich Turkish merchant was my tom
porary home when travelling in the
Orient in l SS1, writes n correspondent
of the St Louis Globe Democrat. My
host. who spoke French iluently. had
furnished his residence with all the
splendor and luxury one only finds in
Oriental climes. My eyes were daz-
zled when through an antique gate
entered the park-like flower garden,
where in midst of tropical flowers and
trees nv admiring glance fell upon
costly European statues, most of
French and Italian artists, minglng
with tho enchanting beauty of marble
odaiisques and houris. Butterflies,
the like OF which had never seen be-
fore in our cold European climates.

feathers in the crystal clear waters
of the large and beautiful fountain.

sweetly perfumed apartments to the
dining-room, where the host awaited
me. He saluted ME and did the hon

NOUS gallantry and grace of the Turk
ish nobleman. Low and soft velvet
cushions were laid before the richly
spread table. Noiselessly glided the
attentive servants hither and thither.
My host ate but sparely. and drank
water out of his handsomely carved
golden goblet. while choice wines were
served to me.
The meal was over The sweet
scent of fine Turkish tobac-

smoke. which blew from my cigar
ette up to the ceiling. A strange
feeling of drowsiness overcome me.
Low and exceedingly sweet music
sounded on my cars. fair visions of the
beautiful gardens had wandered in
rose and vanished. beautiful faces and
| figures of woman swung to and fro in
the rythmc movements of dance,
and angelic voices. accompanying the
music with sweet songs lulled me to
sleep undistur bed, and yet more
beautifed by the most enchanting
dreams and visions. Gradually the
music died away, the voices sounded
lower and lower. and with intense
regret I saw the beautiful vision

slowly only reality came back to me.
With the last cup of champagne 1 had

drug which Oriental people use to con-
vey themselves to sleep and enjoy the
enchanting visions of dreamland.

TANNING A COUGAR.
What a Montana Man Has Done with
a Ferocious Beast


1t requires peculiar conformation
in man to fit him for the dangerous
calling of subduing and training fero-
cious Wild animals says the Miles City
IN. T.) Stoci Growers' Journal
Nerve of undoubted quality he must
possess. for the least sign of fear
proves his inevitable failure. if not de-
struction. Goodness and judgment are
necessary requisites, but all these
qualities can be found in many men
who apparently have no power over
the more vicious natures of the brute
creation, while some fragile person,
with little to distinguish him from his
fellows more than possibly an unusual
ly amiable disposition, can accomplish
wonders in subduing the natural feroc-
ity of the most dangerous animals.
1t has generally been conceded that
the mountain lion. or cougar of the
western mountains is an untamable
BRUTE whose thirst for blood could
never be overcome or treachery guard
ed against Earl B. Witch. a taxider-
mist at Livingston. in this territory.
however. has disproved the theory,
and has in his possession a full grown
mountain lioness that sleeps upon the
bed with him. purring like a cat, and
is as playful with her master as any
member of the feline family could pos
sibly be.
An old hunter killed the mother of
this peculiar pet and the head of the
animal. well mounted, can be seen in
Captain Kreidler's Office in this city.
The cub Mr.. Witch obtained possess
sion of when quite small. and is now
the wonder of tourists passing through
Livingston. This beast has horrible
penchant for small children, yet SO
wonderful is the control Mr.. Witch
has obtained over the beast that he
can make it lie down and lay baby
across its neck, but he never takes his
eyes off the animal while making tho
dangerous test of power. for. from the
working of its jaws and the vicious
gleam of its eyes, it gives evidence
that il the keepers back were turned
the infants destruction would be
speedy and certain. Mr.. Witch has
also favorite dog. which he has train
ed to wrestle with the lioness and per-
form many tricks For instance. he
will make the mountain beast lie down
upon her side. place piece of raw
beefsteak upon her head, and send the
dog to take it of. which the animal
will permit II the masters eve is upon
her; but, in all probability. if his Wig
ilance was relaxed for an instant. both
beefsteak and dog would disappear in
short order. The animal attracts gem
eral attention from the visitors, and
furnishes n striking proof of man s
power over the animal creation.

The Democrats VIII Hold It In Commit

WASHINGTON, March 20.-The Star,
speaking Of the prospects of the passage
Of the Blair educational bill in the house,
says:
"The chances are that the Blair educa-
tional bill will not get consideration In
the house at all this session. 1t is gen
orally understood that the president
would veto the bill il passed, and it is
party policy with the Democrats to re-
lieve him from this necessity. The popu-
larity OF the measure In the south might
secure its passage IL a vote was reached
in the house, and for that reason it will
probably be killed in committee. AS.
yet, the bill has not been acted upon by
even the subcommittee, and when they
have finished with it it will still remain
for the whole committee to act. The
subcommittee was to have met ON Sat-
urday to take up the bill. Two members
only appeared, and the Indications are
that there will not be q quorum present
ut any time during the session, or il at
all, not until it is too late to hope for
action..n >
