However labyrinthian the mausoleum,

fingers we closed must open in the luster of
resurrection morn. The arms that we folded
in death must join ours in embrace of re-
union The beloved voice that was hushed
must be returned. The beloved form must
come up without its infirmities, without its

EATERS OF INDIAN HEMP.
How the Hashish Drunkard Carries On q
Debauch in n Methodical Manner.

How the Hashish Drunkard Carries On q
Debauch in n Methodical Manner.
Old and experienced hemp eaters go very
methodcally to work. They say that to
relish hemp one must first abstain from all
stimulating food and drink for a brief
period; for only after a short fast can one
taste TO the full the delights of hashish and
render ones system fully susceptible to its
influence. So, for several days previous to
the ''orgie" the experienced hemp eater eats
no meat drinks neither wine nor spirit,
lives mainly upon vegetable foods light
pastry, and ripe fruits, and smokes little.
On the day of the debauch he rises very
early and fasts till the afternoon, when tho
friends who are to join him arrive. They
prepare for dinner by taking a strongly
charged pipe, and inhaling the thick, white
smoke. A light meal is then served, in
which plenty of sweet pastry figures, and
each of the company retires to his cushion
prepared for the evenings indulgence. Mu-
sicians are stationed at the end of the apart
ment, dancing girls are introduced, or, if the
host is a very wealthy man, he orders his
own slaves in. Hemp boluses are passed
around and the pipes well charged with the
drug. For this purpose tobacco is first laid
in the bowl; upon this a small charge of pure
hashish extract is placed, and the whole is
fired by the means of a glowing ember of
charcoal and saltpetre, which has been
mingled with honey and dried. Strong and
well sweetened coffee is handed round and
while the dancing and music go on the smok
ers begin. Lounging back, they suck the
smoke into the lungs and air passages, send
ing it forth again through the widely dis
tended nostrils, and, gazing upon the forms
and faces posturing and revolving before
them, the hashashin swims off in a sea of
blissful content that verges upon ecstasy.
As soon as the pipe is exhausted strong
coffee without sugar is taken, and this rouses
the dreamers from their vision of delight.
But a 'bolus" of hemp cake, and another
pipe well charged, stimulates afresh the ex-
cited imagination, and sends them off again
into their dreamlands. The singers chant
their love songs, and the almehs sway in
their passionate dances. This goes on for
hours, fresh pipes and coffee being passed
around at intervals, the smokers waking
from one dream only to go off into another.
Such an Orgie, indeed, is sometimes pro-
traCted for two or three days. Then lassi-
tude and exhaustion ensue, and the hashaSh
experiences a sort of revulsiOn against the
drug which lasts for some weeks, when tho
longing for it returns. In many parts
among the Bektaches, for example-thero
are regular gatherings for hemp smoking,
just as the Nsairie of Syria meet on certain
days to drink hemp tea. The poorer classes
find opportunities for indulging in the drug
in the so called ''meshash" or hemp houses
These are forbidden in most moslem coun-
tries. But though the law may prohibit, it
cannot suppress these places.-St. James

Marrying Men of Genius.

There is an interesting article in The Spec
tator on Mr.. Leslie Stephens astonishing
generalization as TO the misery that awaits
women who marry men of genius. The
truth is that the woman who marries a genius
plays game of double or quits. "Geniuses
make either sngularly good husbands or
husbands of the most disastrous kind" 1t
also depends quite as much upon the wife
whether the sensitive egotism and self will
often found combined with genius" wreck
the home or merely form the shadow to a
background OF domestic bliss. Statesmen,
The Spectator thinks, are larger minded than
literary men, more self controlled, and, over
and above all, they are not so much at home.
Our contemporary mentions few instances
Of the marriages of genius which tell on
either side: Unhappy Coleridge, Byron,
Sheiiey, Dickens, Carlyle. Happy-Scott,
Longfellow, Southey, Miss Bronte, Jenny
Lind. The list might be indefinitely ex-
tended. 1t was not the genius but the opium
in Coleridge's case that played the mischief,
and with Carlyle's digestion the dullest clod-
hopper would have been as uncomfortable to

A Snake Charmer's Methods.

Miss Ida Jeffreys opened the boxes and
took off the dainty white merno blankets
and gray wolf robes that wrapped up the
snakes. She lifted them up, fondled them
and handed them over for inspection as she
talked.
'How did become a snake charmer?n she
repeated. why, that isn't easy to tell.
have always liked snakes. l was born in
New York, and this city has always been my
home. uSe to love to watch the snakes in
their glass cage in Central park when 1 was
n little girl. They always had O fascination
Tor me. l didn't want to pet them, you
know don't sec how any sane person can
care to do that-but l liked to be around
them and watch them Ny people are in the
show business, and when l grew up went to
work as high wire performer in the circus.

girl who charmed snakes here some years
ago She was tall and 1.-the and almost as
slender as a snake. While performing with
her pets she almost seemed to be a snake
She moved and acted like one. Seeing her
act started me thinking why an American
girl couldn't do something in that way.
made up my mind not to initiate her, but to
get up a snake act of my own. In the fall of
1873 l bought four little anacondas-they
were only six feet long each-and began to
practice with them. l got them used to hav-
ing me around and to being handled.
Didn't it feel creepy at first? Yes. a little,
I suppose, but I've nearly forgotten about
that now. When they were quite accustomed

around myself Did I charm them? No.
don't take any stock in the theories of so
called snake charmers. find that you can
get along very nicely with snakes by merely
handling them gently. You mustn't make
any sudden movements where they can SEQ
you, but let your hands glide rather than go
quickly toward them. If you always re-
member that and never lose your presence Of
mind you can handle snakes safely enough.
Many people believe that the snakes are
drugged before being handled in the circus.
That is not So They are quite as lively as
ever, as you can ee."-Eew York World.

Dress. or the Woman?

After passing through many rooms, l fin
ally reached NJ. Felix and opened on. him
with this question: ''Do you consider that it
is the dress which makes the woman or the
woman who makes the dressr
"Wen," he answered smiling, "there are
various opinions on the subject, but think
it is pretty generally accepted that it is six of

ward or vulgar woman would always look
like fright even in the most perfect of
gowns, while low born yet graceful and
well formed peasant girl would appear well
in anything. So think that if there is
difference in favor of one or the other, it
should be put to the credit of the woman
rather than to the dress which she wears -

Really Not so Much to Blame for His

A younger man, but one who had passed
beyond the limit of this particular folly,
gave this touching defense of the dude and
his unpaid bills.
He isn't really so much to blame He
loves pretty things according to the male
idea of pretty things The high priced tailor
and swell haberdasher know his weakness
and welcome him to their ledgers. The
finest of the new importatiOns, the last thing
in necktieS, canes, what not are sent unso-
licited to his rooms. When he comes home
all sorts of male decorative wear are strewn
about over tables and chairs Naturally he
is flattered by this appeal to his taste, this
inference of his wealth. These men

dragon them into sending in a

abroad of tumble in stocks, of failure in
trust funds, broken bank, of a horse gone
lame, or some vicissitude likely to affect the
dude, then these long delayed bills come
tumbling in. When expressed desire for
settlement becomes an impossibility he is
beset by duns. III favored men with papers
in their hands beset his path and lie in wait

Legend Among the Blacks.

Among those vf the negro race that live
far from white people, their teaching and
their influence, there is a barbarous belief
that, whereas God is indeed Creator of the
dominant white race, they, poor blacks, are
the handiwOrk of Satan. This making a
man contra to the commands of our Creator
was the sin for which the devil, once an
angel of high degree, was flung from heaven:
"Flung into hell" declared my informant,
the corn vender, zen dar be be now tied ter
de wheel er de chariot er fire! Chained ter
de turnin' wheel er fire; en- dar he gwine

couth Legend The devil, succeeding only in
forming the shape of man without the
soul, became, as it were, creator of death.

citedly. "But de Lo'd he feel ssolry fer dc

every child on its first entrance into the school
an enormous bag ofsweets. Lately the Gus

parents and friends of the well-to-do children
all supplying additional bags to the favored
pupil that the government has been obliged
to interfere, and one bag only isnow the rule

MAKING A CHANGE.

and first called, the illness he treats is a
severe one, or it may be desperate emer-
gency He is successful in his treatment,
and for several months after is the recog-
nized attendant of that family. They think
much of him, and encourage neighborJ and
friends to patrolize him. After time his
bill comes in and is met with sonlc excuse
which IS readily accepted As timo goes on
and the debt remains unpaid, his collector is
more persistent. At last another attack OF
sickness occurs in the same family, and, in
stead of sending for the physician to whom
they are indebted, who did so well on
former occasion, and in whose praise they
have been so loud, they employ another.
The neighbors 500 the strange physician

to prompt him to give the true, honest rea-
son for it. No! They simply say DR.. So

thought we would not call him again. That,
OF course, has its influence, and the friends

well disposed toward him whose experience

to doubt his ability.
The consequence is, the skillful and oblig-
ing physician, to whom is owed not only tho
money, for which he has patiently waited,
but a wealth of gratitude for his devotion to
the former sick one, loses not only the
amount of his bill, but also the reputation
which he has justly earned in the neighbor.
