An Opium Smoker in Paris.

There is at present in the Hospital of
the Charity a young non-commlssioned
officer, as he would be called in England
who is undergoing treatment rs victim
to opium smoking. Tho soldier, who is a
man of education, has given remarkable
account Of his experiences as an opium
smoker lie says that while in TOnkin,
or Cochin China, one of the French gen.
erals caused an order to be issued against
the use of the drug, and this very prohibit
ton was tho means of making several
men try opium smoking through curiosity.
The ncn-comEissiOncd officer went with
some comrades to the smoking saloon OF a
village. There u woman came to him and
filled long pipe with small ball of what
appeared to be thick brown syrup, made
as consistent as wax. This the soldier
was pressed to take, and, placing its bowl
over lamp which was alight, lie inhaled
what seemed to be the fumes of sugar and
burned apples.
He was at first rendered i'll, but after a
second pipe WAS plunged into the ecstatic
dreams described by De Quincy, Baude-
laire and II. Paul BCrnetain. He seemed
to float in Il bath of luEeWarm milk, and
memories that had long lain buried passed
clearly through his imagination. He
recolcctcd forgotten melodies, snatches of
songs and extracts from favOrite authors;
but wht il he awoke from the reverie he
was perspiring with pain and fear. After
this he Kept up the habit for six months,
smoking thirty graElmes Of opium on tho
day of his departure for France. Tho
man at present looks rather livid, and his
general appearance is that Of a person who
had been raralyzed. 1t is expected, how
ever, that he will be brought round by the
treatment of the hospital physicians

Varied Tastes Of Boarders.

Among lot of boarders there are al
ways few who will kindly look after
your interests for you. If man 60 out
occasionally they will remark you are out
a great deal; if one speaks of ladies they
will say you are q lady's man, and if one
mentions having been in the company of q
half dozen or more ladies in a week they
will exclaim: "Why, you are indeed very
much of u lady's man." They will even
venture to suggest that marriage would
be a happy transition for you, and will try
to unravel the network of circumstances
which las kept you single. If one talks
at all they presume on good nature and
attack him from all sides. 1t is hard to
oppose the attacks of lady boarders, and
they will dig up a good deal of your life in
spite Of you. This is the way they do at
our boarding house.
But the saddest matter of them all is
the stories that are told. We hear them
recited every day of such age that their
oIdncss makes us shed tears in pity for
their dccayed originality. The red headed
girl still lives with us, and it makes a
shutlder to think what we will have next.
Then there is brought in once week or
oftcner q clipping from the paper to be
read. We have our pugilist who is going
to train for the physical culture it will
give him; there is the lawyer who talks
of bCodler trials and points of law and of
justice strunGled by the mob but now re-
vivel; the artist tells us of the beauty of
the sunsets glow and in the evening
shadows paints the city red; the musician
scores us with recitals from the masters,
and were those worthy ones to wake from
their long sleep their choice would be
eternal punishment to that Of listening to
interpretations like these. Then there
are these who discover something funny
in one whom no one else has so far known
to say & witty thing, who viii punch that
one up to get his wit and there sit and
coolly sip. We have the Young married
couples who come to Us fresh from the
fields Of matrimony whose tender touches
of love bring cur hearts in sympathy with
them and make us wish we could be like
one of these. And so we have house
hold varied in tastes and an even balance
that we may not swing too far any way
and some one to knock the points off ut
every corner.-"A. L. c." in Chicago

HAvANA's BATHING RESORT.

Pits for tho Tublic-A Stroll Along the
BeacI-The Breakers.
At last you reach the baths. Here, too,
is glorieta, and beyond this are the most
peculiar facilities for bathing that re-
member to have seen. A long, high reef
has been cut and followed into o dozen
separate wells Just where the surf tum
bles against the shore. These cavities are
twelve or fourteen feet square and six or
eight feet deep; in each there is hole or
window opening toward the sea, and as
large rs the body Of man. Through this
the water finds entrance, standing, per-
haps, four feet above the floor A wooden
roof stretches over all these pits, each of
which is fenced off separately above the
water, and thus converted into an excel
lent bathing room, open toward the sea.
There is wooden floor at the entrance.
with sufficient furniture, and flight of
steps cut into the rock, by which you de-
scend to tie bath. The sea flows in and
out necessarily through the aperture, the
bottom of the pit is rough and the sides
rugged: the crabs ere crawling in your
huge tu5, and the seawecd comes in at
the window, but, the whole effect is
unique and delightful. Yon can look over
the rocky wall TO tie occ:I beyond. and
the breeze Is constant ard .unOhstructcd,
for the boarding between Tie rooms
reaches only half way to the roof. which
is fifteen feet above tie water. In very
hi.h seas the tide submcrges the baths,
and sometimes in q storm tho whole
wooden structure is swept or k:own awav.
Some OF the pits are large enough for
half dozen batherS, and these arc called
public hut the private ones can be taken
by q party of two or three or by a single
person. 10 rise at 5 or 6 and reach the
bath almost before the sun, and spend
half an hour In the Atlantic in one of
these strange tropical crannies, half natu-
raj, half artificial, is the most delightful
preparation for Cuban day in July that
can be conceived.
After this ! sometimes strolled along
tho beach, which is cool at this early hour,
and looked out on the great sweep of the
sea that always seems bluer there than
anywhere else in the world, and calmer
than any ocean surf that I have known.
The waves were less boisterous, the line
OF breakers never very high unless in alb
solute storm, while the water itself,
though stimulating and exhilarating in
sensation, was softer than other sea water.

Temperature Of the Eath.

There arc number of varieties of bath
at each temperature. Thus, if the entire
body Is submerged, it is n full bath; if
only half, It is half hath: if the feet only
are immersed, it is foot bath, etc.
Sponging the entire surface is an easy
and convenient means of securing most of
the advantages of full bath, while the
trouble CT tho latter expense ALSO is
avoided. If cold water is used, the skin
Is stimulated and the nervous system re-
ceives I'll tho tonic effects to lie had from
bathing. Tic shower bath is still more
stimulating to the nerves and skin. If il
Is GOLD, there may be considerable risk of
doing injury. This is true of all forms of
''oo!d" baths. No one with degenerated
heart or arteries should incur tho dangers
Of the cold full" or Shower bath" The
first effect Of the application Of cold to the
skin is to cause a sudden contraction of
all the small blood vessels. thus driving
the blood in upon tho central organs. An
additional strain Is thus placed upon the
vessel, of the lungs, brain, in fact, of the
whole interior department. If their walls
have been weakened by disease, they may
give way, apoplexy or rupture OF m an
rurism may follow the injudicioUs appli
cation of cold bathing.-Glote-Dcm

Handling California Wheat.

In no country in the world can wheat
b handled as cheaply as in California,
During the harvest season there is no pos:
sbility Of rain, and the wheat is put into
burlap baga and stacked up in the field
anti the farmer is ready to ship, When
sent to San Francisco it lies OH the wharf
until ship Is ready to take 1t on board.
No shelter Is needed, and there are no
elevator charges, the bags being placed on
board ship just rs they came from the
fields. In addition to the profit resulting
from cheap handling, the owner has his
profits considerably increased by the gain
In weight made on the voyage to Liver:
pool. When the wheat leaves California
Il II dry as finder, and In exactly the con-
dition to absorb the moisture of the sea
cir; and, consequently, ON it's arrival in
England cargo of wheat will be heavier
BY many thousand pounds than when it
eft California. Wheat Is never shipped
% bulk, but always in bags, as when
loaded in bulk Il Is about the most danger
ops cargo o ship can carry. No matter
how Il,htly it may be packed at first, it
settles considerably within short time,
and then Is very liable to shift. When
shifting takes place a ship is as good as
lost, as the change in the center of gravity
throws her ON her beam ends, and she is
nearly certain to 20 to the bottom in the

THE COW AND HER CALF.
Teaching Young Bovine to Drink-Boy-
isb Cruelty to Animals.

reaching Young Bovine to Drink-Boy.
isb Cruelty to Animals.
learning calf to drink was one of
my boyish crosses. The natural position
OF calf in nursing Is one with the head
elevated, and the nose turned up. OF
course there is opposition when these DO
sitions are exactly reversed, and the calf
has to swallow up instead of down. Every
country boy knows all about the process;
how he sticks his horny hand and nail
tipped fingers into the tender mouth, hith-
erto accustomed only to the soft teat of
the mother; how the frightened animal
struggles; how he jams its head down
into the milk; how the calf "bunts" and
drives the milk In showers into the fee
of the hoy, and how in time the little
Juvenile passes from O sucker to dr;nker.
and then is ready for the advent of the
buyer.
Removed by long time from these &C.
currences, find there Is something truly
pathetic in the life Of the average calf and
Its mother. She Is deprived of it at the
earliest possible moment in order that her
milk may be used for the dairy, and pend
ing the arrival of purchaser it is fed on
th1nned milk less expensive than the
original article. Whoever In city or coun-
try has seen COW in company with her
calf has noticed every evidence of warm
affection. When opportunity offers she
laps its skin with her tongue, and caresses
IT with her nose, and places herself in
vitingly In position to enable it TO reach
the fountain of nourishment
When the calf is taken away, her dis
tress is as evident IA that Of a woman
who has lost her child. Her melancholy
cry rolls across the country and is echoed
from the bills, There are in it qualities
OF grief that are as palpable as if emf
bodied in the human voice. All the day,
and during tho solemn stiffness of the
night, at intervals of few minutes, the
dolorous call of the mother for her miss
ing child breaks on the ear.
To the boy there is nothing pathetic in
the occurrence. It Is something which is
to him matter Of course. He is yet o
savage. He watches the 'sticking' Of
hogs in the annual butchering with lively
interest, and longs for the time when he
can perform the same feat. He sees with
indifference the enraged farmer plant his
heavy cowhide boot In the ribs of a
fractions COW, and with equal equanimity
sees the same person maui the head of an
unbroken colt, or q sensitive, timid horse,
with heavy sled stake. At this remote
period my conscience pricks me for the
stoning of animals, the kicking of patient
horses, and other things of the kind,
which, when done, were done with entire
Inconsistencies as to their brutality
