DelusiOn of a HEMP Eater.

A writer in st, James Gazette gives
the following description Of bis marvel
lous sensation while under the influence,
OF Indian hemp. A friend o. ours told
US OF his experience with the potent
drug in Washington during the war,
when he took a quantity in an expert
mental way. In his case the hallucina-
lions as to time and distance were very
similar to those given below. 1t is not
an experience to be desired.
The rooms seem to turn round; the
people near appear to rise to the CELL
ing; the pulse beats with extrem, rap
idity and the throbbing Of the heart be-
comes impossible, for one cannot recol =
lect a1ything-the ideas seem to slip
away. In another ten minutes the
characteristic indications of hemp-eat-
ing appear. Every object around at
tains monstrou' size. Men and wom-
en- seem of Brobdignagian proportions,
the cushions upon which one sits seem
tit for giants, and any trifling obstacle
in the way when you attempt to walk
appears so big that you fear to step
over it.
The room in which you may be sit
ting seems to stretch beyond the range
OF sight, and one fancies tho street out
side is receding before ones very eve.
All sense Of time is lost now, and when
he Is spoken to the hemp-eater fancies
there are long and apparently senseless
intervals between the words. His own
attempts at speech are similarly marked;
the syllables come slowly, laboriously
and minutes seem to elapse between the
beginning and end of a word. In this
stage 1t is usual to partake of more cof-
ice, which changes th- nature of the
sensations. A Whit at the narchile that
always accompanies the beverage, and
the body seems to rise into the air and
float about. though inexplicably enough
the feet keep firmly pressed to the
ground.
Then ones legs and arms appear to
drop of, and life and sensation concen-
trate themselves, to ones 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
diligence 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 ensuc

An Old Trick Revived.

1.-The old trick of painting diamonds
so as to make yellow stones resemble the
most beautiful blue white Is being ex-
tensively carried ca by firm in our
town." says a Kansas City jeweler.
The fraud is clever one, and not only
imposes on the inexpert, but is calcu-
lated to deceive even the connoisseur.
1.-THE trick IS very simple All that
Is needed is a yellow diamond---t the vel
lower the beforehand common indeli-
BILE uepencil. After wettlng the dia-
mond, you pencil the stone all around
its surface, upper and lower sides. Then
rub the stone with piece of cotton or
linen, in order to equalize the distribu-
ton Of the color, and you will find the
yellow stone transformed into one OF q
perfect blush tint.
'ln this manner it is easy to make
$50 stone appear worth 5000, as even
magniiying glass fails to show that the
stone has been colored; although if
washed il alcohol, turpcntinc or ben
zine it, of course, returns to it, 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 neighboring cities.
People who have recently bought
diamonds at a bargain should plunge
them into bcnzlne or alcohol bath and
then rub them with tooth brush. Their
eyes may be opened to the real value of
their purchases. = Jewellers Weckly.

Libby Prison.

The Baltimore Sun says 1t was
expected that the Chicago pur-
chasers of the Libby Prison building
would have commenced the work of tear
ing down and removing the structure to
that city before this. Mr.. j. II. Palmer
OF Richmond, the owner of the prison,
said yesterday he had not heard from
MIR. W. H. Gray since his return to
Chicago. That gentleman, Mr.. Palmer
said, has made but one payment on his
purchase, and he would not be,permitted
to move as much as brick until he had
paid S23, 900, the full amount of the pur-
chase money, as had been agreed on.

Planting Big Shade Trees.

American ingenuity is equal to the
moving of a Brighton Beach hotel, weigh
Ing 5000 tons, a distance of 300 feet, yet
IS, apparently, inadequate to the trans
porting of growing tree weighing half a
ton, cheaply and safely, a distance of a
mile or less. An American will plant a
tree no thicker than his wife's wrist, then
with a patience born of faith and hope,
wait from fifteen to twenty-five years be-
fore it's shade will refresh him and pre-
vent the sun from making Sahara of
his little suburban half acre. The pres
ence of a good sized maple or other de-
sirable shade tree so greatly enhances the
value of every square yard of the real
estate in its vicinity that it is strange no
device has been forthcoming whereby
large trees can be taken from their native
low land or forest, lifted carefully, handled
bodily with plenty of their native soil
about their roots and deposited in any
desired place, there to be joy to the pos
SCISSOR.
The latter need then not wait until his
hair is gray to enjoy his possessions, nor
take his chances of death before the
shadow of his tree is sufficient to cover a
swung hammock. There are certainly no
mechanical difficulties in the way. A
pair of stout, large wheels, such as are
used in the hauling of timber, strong and
effective lifting mechanism and a properly
constructed flexible sling in which roots
and soil can be enveloped; these would
imply no great difficulties, either in the
making or using. Who is there able to
build a country home and improve the lot
upon which it stands, that would not pay
from $50 to 800 for a large, handsome
maple, guaranteed to keep right on grow
ing for him as it did for nobody in par
ticular in the adjacent forest. "The woods
are full, and the bottom lands are full of
such trees. The city is full of men that
would pay to own such. Yet these same
men must buy small trees and hopefully
await their growing. Large trees have
been successfully transplanted in Chicago
and elsewhere, yet the art is a compare
lively unknown one. This is a field of
industry that certainly promises reward
to man of enterprise and ingenuity

Ranch Cattle in the Mire.

During the early spring months, before
the round up begins, the chief work is in
hauling out mired cows and steers; and
if we did not keep sharp lookout, the
losses at this season would be very serious.
As long as erytbing is frozen solid there
is, of course, no danger from miring; but
when the thaw comes, along toward the
beginning of March, period Of new dan
ger to the cattle sets in. When the ice
breaks up, the streams are left with an
edging of deep bog, while the quicksand
is at its worst. AS the frost goes out of
the soil, the ground round every little
alkali spring changes into a trembling
quagmire, and deep holes of Shiny, ten
acious mud form in the bottom of all the
gullies.
The cattle, which have had to live on
snow for three or four months, are very
eager for water, and are weak and in poor
condition. They rush heedlessly into any
pool and stand there, drinking gallons Of
the icy water and sinking steadily into
the mud When they try to get out they
are already too deep down, and are too
weak to make prolonged struggle.
After one or two fits of desperate founder
ing. they resign themselves to their fate
with dumb apathy and are lost, unless
some one of us riding about discovers and
hauls them out. They may be thus lost in
wonderfully small mud holes; often they
will be found dead in gulch but two or
three feet across, or in the quicksand Of a
creek so narrow that it could almost be
jumped. An alkali hole, where the water
oozes out through the thick clay, is the
worst of all, owing to the ropy tenacity
with which the horrible substance sticks
and clings to any unfortunate beast that
gets into it, In the spring these mud holes
cause very serious losses among the cattle,
and are at all times fruitful sources of
danger. Indeed, during an ordinary year
more cattle die from getting mired than
from any other cause.-Theodore Roose-
welt in The Century.

DISAPPOINTED ALGER.

1t is said the worst disappointed man
over the outcome of the Chicago con-
vention is that ambitious millionaire
Alger, of Michigan. Strange as it may
seem to others Alger actually expected
the nomination. He thought the lavish
use of money would take the place of
the Woeful absence of brains and states
manship, and lot of fellows who
were being literally fed and feed from
his pile encouraged him in his vain ex-
pectation. Fully $4,000 he is said to
have squaudered in ridiculous effort
to get the nomination to a place for
which he is no better qualified than g
bull is to personally manage a China
store. II Alger had possessed good,
common horse sense, he would have
known that if he had not been I'M
mensely rich, nobody would ever have
thought of him in connection with
the Presidential nomination. But he
didn't have good horse sense, and be-
lieving that some were fools enough to
think mis- money qualified him for the
Office, he went on thinking he would
get there, and paying others
e1travagantly for encouraging him in
the idle belief. Now that the conven-
ton is over, and he has seen how small
both he and his money are in the esteem
of men of brains, he is said to be not
only disappointed, but disguised. He
tries to make it appear that he is in
sympathy with the. ticket and saws he
will give it hearty support, but his
nature gets the better of him, and he
cannot avoid manifesting his chagrin.
What makes matters more annoying is
the fact that now that the chance to
bleed him by playing upon his vanity
has gone, his protested political friends
and adherents have dropped him. The
other night a vigorous effort was put
forth to get up rousing demonstration
in Detroit in his honor, more for the
purpose of softening the defeat and
making him believe that perhaps he
was not the vain ass he had shown
himself to be in aspiring to
impossible honors, but the affair
was a fiat failure, and had
the opposite effect to the one intended.
Comparatively few people turned out
and there was very little enthusiasm
displayed. Alger said he was proud to
know that he had so many friends, who
had stuck by him faithfully, but did
not mention the amount of money he
paid these friends for standing by
him.
1t is to be hoped that Ayers expert
enoe will cure him of his ambition to be
President, and furthermore, that the
country will never again witness the
spectacle of millionaire plug going into
political convention expecting to get
the Pre- sidential nomination by pur-
chase.

Melville W. Fuller to be Chief Justice
of the United States Supreme Court.
Week after week, and month after
month, it has held the nomination,
until the mans life and record could be
searched thoroughly. Every act of
his has been carefully scrutinized, and
malice and viciousness have helped in
the hunt. and both have been invited
and encouraged to blacken the charac-
ter of the man. All this has been done,
not because Judge Fuller is not an
able jurist and a clean man. AS law
yer and citizen, he is recognized as
among the very foremost of Americans,
and every member of the judiciary
committee would be pleased to have his
friendship or even acquaintance. But
he is Democrat, and has been nomin-
ated to a high Office by a Democratic
President, and Republicans think it is
their duty to party, to be ugly and in
decent towards him. The diligent and
malicious search into his record has
failed to discover the slightest ex-
cuse upon which to hang an ad-
verse report, nothing being found
indicating his unftness for
the Office. And yet partisan hate is
so intense that the Republican ma
jority in the Senate will not favor his
confirmation, bat will report the nomi-
nation back to tie Senate without
recommendation. leaving the Senate
at liberty to act independently and
without suggestion from its committee.
Partisan meanness has seldom been
so pronounced and brazen as in this
instance, and for the sake of decency
it is to be hoped that it will never again
display such viciousness.
Of course Judge Fuller's nomination
will be confirmed by the Senate. There
are some Republican Senators whose
minds are broader than those of the
judiciary committee who seem to be
dominated by and subordinated to
that Vermont bigot, Edmunds. Some
Republican Senators long since ex-
pressed their disapproval of the evil
IDENTIFY malicious holding back of the
nomination, and declared their inten-
ton of voting for confirmation.
