in tho way when you attempt to walk appears SO big that you fear to step

in tho way when you attempt to walk appears so big that you fear to step over it.
 The room in which you may bo sit- ting seems to stretch beyond the range of sight, and one fancies the street out side is reccding before one's very eye. All sense of timc is lost now, and when he is spoken to the hemp-eater fancies there are long and apparently sensclcss intervals between the words. His own attempts at speech arc similarly marked {; the syllables come slowly, laboriously and minutes seem to elapse between the beginning and eni of a word. In this stage it is usual to partake of more cof- fee, which changes tn, nature of the sensations. A whiff at the narghile that always accompanies the beverage, and tho body seems to rise into the air and float about, though inexplicably enough the feet keep firmly pressed to the ground.
 Then one's legs and arms appear to drop off, and life and sensation concen- trate themselves, to ono's thinking, in the back of the head, which feels full to bursting. Gradually strength leaves the smoker; the pipe slips from the nerveless fingers; the will altogether fails, and the body seems to rise and float away in space. A heavy, dream less sleep usually succeeds such an in- dulgence in the drug, and as rule the novice awakes none the worse for the evenings experiment.. A little lemon juice removes any sensation of nausea or light headache that may ensue.

DelusiOn of a Hemp Eater.

A writer in St, James Gazette gives the following description of hls marvel lous sensation while under the influence of Indian hemp. A friend of ours told us of his experience with the potent drug in Washington during the war, when he took quantity in an expert mental way. In his case tho hallucina- tions as to time and distanc, were very similar to those given below. It is not an experience to be desired.
 The rooms seem to turn rouud;. the people near appear to rise to the cell ing; the pulse beats with extreme rap- idity and the throbbing of tho heart bo- comes impossible, for one cannot recol : lect anything-the ideas seem to slip away. In another ten minutes the characteristic indications of hemp-cat- ing appear. Every object around at- tains a monstrous size. Men and wom- en seem of Brobdignagian proportions, the cushions upon which one sits seem fit for giants, and any triding obstacle

An Old Trick Revived,

''Tho old trick of painting diamonds so as to make yellow stones resemble the most beautiful blue white IS being e4- tensively carried oa by firm in our town," says Kansas City jeweler. ''The fraud is a clever one, and not only imposes on the iucxpert, but is calcu- lated to deceive even the connoisseur.
 ''The trick is very simple. All that is needed is yellow diamond the yell lower the bettcr---and common indeli- ble blue pencil. After wettlng the dia- mond, you pencil the stone all around it's surface, upper and lower sides. Then rub the stone with piece of cotton or linen, in order to equalize the distribu- tion of the color, and you will find the yellow stone transformed into one of a perfect bluish tint.
 'In this manner it is easy to make a $50 stone appear worth $soo, as even a magnifying glass fails to show that the stone has been colored; although if washed in alcohol, turpentine or ben zine 1t, of course, returns to its original yellow tint.
 "This trick is being played daily in Kansas City. The agents of the man who is thus transforming cheap stones to gems of apparently great worth are all around town, and some of them are even working eighboring cities.
 People who have recently bought diamonds at bargain should plunge them into benzine or alcohol bath and then rub them with toothbrush. Their eyes may be opened to tho real value of their purchases. -[Jeweller's Weekly.

A locomotives ailments begin at her birth, says tho Engineers Journal, and end only when she is consigned to the junk pile. When she first comes from the shop she is ''stiff in the joiats," and some one has to take her on the road and Smooth her down." She has lot tho power of endurance, either, with which she is supposed to be blessed, for she will get 'tircd" after a long run,
 and frequently it is impossibl to make time with her when she hears the end of her trip. The engineers say her joints swell" but those who are not technical say that her axles become heated, expand and fit too tightly lu the boxes to revolve with the speed necessary for making swift time. Thus it will be seen on the one hand the en- zine seems to rival the trick mule in the circus; on the other hand she is not much better off than Q hospital patient
 lut when she is flying across the coun- try, drawing her precious burden, she does not complain of her sickness, and no one knows of her caprices excep, her master, who is also her confii ant.

The idea is beginning to gain vogue, declares the Argonaut, not only among vegetarians by principle, but with others who have never considered the subject In the light that the vegetarians do, that our dist is altogether too strong in the matter of the more heating meats. This strong meat, such, for instance, as beef, the eating of which, it is said, frequently generates too hot blood gives us our reckless activity, our in tensity, and many of our new diseases. White meats, vegetables, oils, and fruits, iu long-tried usc among the ancients, are in this view safer and wholesomer diet than that which we have so long considered the best to be had. Whether the facts and their in. fcrences arc correct or not, they deserve consideration

An Anglers Song,

All hAS ACA OOASs The daylight approaches; oh, come with me, In wet woods tho partridge is beating his White wreathings of vapor ascending from The lake like mirror lies placid and fair.
 Away with all sorrow,
 , A truce with all care, Rise up and follow the sun, and we'll feel
 reell The scent of tho clover is deep on the breeze, The sunlight is red in the tops of the trees, The young day awakens, blush of surprise On her faco and the tears of dew in her eyes. Come out on the mountain-side, over the crest, To the lake where n boat, like a steed in un- rest, Lies rocking and chafing as though 1t could The life of the morning from bow unto keel The sun is raising; oh, come, come awayl Where the cedars are heavy and waters arc grayl The screams of fish-hawk sound faintly from whero The lilies arc raising gold caps to the a,r.
 Away with all sorrow,
 A truce with all care; With haud-net and basket, oh, follow aud feel The thrill of tho rod and the pulse of the reel

A New Mexican Parrot.

Hiss McCutcheon, of Socorro, New Mexico, has parrot that sings to the accompaniment of piano almost per- fectly. A party of friends were recently gathered at the residence of this young lady, when, for the amusement of the circle, the parrot was brought into prominence. The bird, as soon as it was brought into the room, commenced to whistle popular tune. It whistled this tune over and over again, until one of the party suggested that the tune be changed, whereupon the parrot stopped quickly, and, casting a look of contempt at the young man who made the suggestion, cried: "Chest- nutsr

Marcus A. Root, tho first American daguerreotyper, died in Philadelphia recently. at the age of eighty. He was born iu Granville, Ohio, and moved to the Quaker City in 1885. In 1s43, his attention was called to the daguerreo- type. He at once gave up all other en- terprises and was soon established as the leading daguerreotype in this country. He had orders from all over the world, and founded establishments in New York, Boston, St. Louis and Washing ton. The first daguerreotype he ever took was taken on solid silver, and was a view from one of the windows of the Philadelphia Mint. It was on exhibi- tion at the Centennial, and is now in possession of tho Philadelphia Press The portraits of Henry Clay and Daniel Webster on the United States currency were taken from daguerreotypes made by MT.

Poets who Only Read and Listened

Poets who Only Kead ana Listened When evenings shadowy fingers fold The flowers of every hue, Some shy, half-opened bud will hold Its drop of morning dew. Sweeter with every sunlit hour The trembling sphere has grown, Till at the fragrance of the flower Becomes at last its own. We that have sung perchance may find Our little need of praise, And round our pallid temples bind The wreath of fading bays. Ah, poet, who has never spent Thy breath in idle strains, For thee the dowdrop morning lent still in thy heart remains. Unwasted, in its perfumed coll It waits the evening gale: Then to the azure whence 1t fell It's lingering sweets exhale.
