Concerning Opium Culture.

In few states the farmers have experi- mented a little with the white poppy, but we have not regarded opium as ever likely to cut much of a figure among our products. MT. Pratt, the United States consul at Teheran, who has been study ing opium culture in Persia, where a very fine article is produced, says he believes large regions in California and the southern states are we'll adapted to the cultivation of the white poppy, and, in view of the superior quail ity of Persian opium, he details the methods of cultivation in vogue there as a guide for our poppy raisers. Though the abuse of opium has made it, in the opin- ion of many, disrcputable drug. it serves a large number of useful purposes, and if we could raise what we require for legitimate uses opium culture would be a considerable addition to our wealth pro- ducing resources.

 Doubt flies before such list, and the scoffer remains to eat and enjoy the savory soups and entrees. Onions and various sweet herbs are the underlying elements of these dishes, the secret of whose preparation might we'll be learned by our American cooks The ''green pea pie" has tender, delicate crust, and the ''savory haricots' do not belle their name. Madras stew" owns to potatoes and slips of onion with some sort of brown sauce and the 'force meat fritters" have lintels as a foundation. The porridges are prime favor ites The restaurant is near Whitehall, and the chief government offices and many clerk who ruShes il for meal makes it of porridge and milk, with a vegetable and sweet, and goes back clear headed and with no fumes of indigestion to cloud his brain He finds the thing begun as experiment, solely because of it's cheapness, brings with it not only saving of money but something more and unexpected, and that improved health and in- creased power of work are added gifts of the new dispensation, and thus vegetarianism has made it's way into popular favor, on which it has larger and larger hold. Phy- sicians find in it the cure for some diseases that have long bafled them. Sir Henry Thompson, one of the best known and eminent among them, has written learn edly in its favor, showing that meat three times day is actual poison to the system, and means rheumatism, gout and the worst affections of the kidneys. Reformers in temperance lines find that by the adoption of vegetarian diet the appetite for liquors disappears entirely, only returning with re- 1 turn to meat, and brain workers discover that work is done with greater ease and with | possibility of longer hours than under the old system. In short it has 1000 recommen- dations and no perceptible drawbacks, and, while it is by no means likely to find univer- | sal adoption and thus the stock question as to what will be done with surplus animals | need not for long to come trouble the mind of any inquirer, it is certain that larger and l larger numbers every year will join the army that from noon till 3 or p. m. throngs the approaches of the twenty-f four rcstau- rants, and leaves barely room at the tables for the experimental visitors.

The Antf.Gossip Club.

If your friends faults annoy you, tell him so; but for heavens sake keep silent about them in the presence of other people.
 You will never reform him by calling the attention of the world to his errors. I have made resolution which I would like to embody in an organized society, and call it the AntisG Gossip club. The resolu- tion is this: Whoever speaks i'll of another person to mo must meet that person in my presence within weeks time and repeat the words, thus giving the accused an opportunity to defend, explain or reform his error. I think Q few experiences of this kind would deter people from coming to us with unkind gossip.-Ella Wheeler Wilcux

Curiosity of tho Chinese,

The occupants of houses near this path, turn an honest tsin or two by supplying little discs of sweetened peanut dough to passing travellers, besides tea, sugar cane and the inevitable bowls of rice soup. Sometimes halt and rest at these places, when quickly become the center of 8 wondering gathering of housewives with babies and older children. They take greater interest in myself than they do in the bicycle, and examine with true feminine criticism, the texture of my clothes.
 Everything the Chinese themselves wear is either cotton or silk, and the fact of my clothes being woolen affords material for much wondernent and speculation. These inquisitive danes handle me pretty much as though they were examining the merits of a roll of calico, or a life size rubber doll; they touch my face, lift my helmet to show one another my hair, pinch me on the arms and legs, count my fingers and otherwise make themselves familiar, and at home, so to speak, with my figure. This, of course, is rather trying to naturally difident per- son of the opposite sex; my bashfulness, at first, takes the form of buying peanut cakes for the babies This puts us, at once, on the best of terms, and soon send them all into fits of laughter by placing my helmet on one inquisitive young matron's head Thomas Stevens in Outing.

In these days when society il always ready

that no one has thought Of taking up tho
study Of tie Irish language. Our ears have
been greeted by raspy italian, catarrhal

by the enthusiastic young folks, who always
attack new thing as If they would tear the
soul out Of It by main strength But the
soft, liquid tones that are nearer than any
other language extaut to the original Csltic,
which you may hear rolling so richly from
the lips of hundreds Of Irish girls in Pisssburg,

will take a prominent part and show a
typical country school of half century
ago. The following was the program
