After a long circuit the party

A Cblreso Onlun, storv

Since the introduction of opium into
China millions and tens Of millions have
given themselves up to its use, its vic
Tins being found in all the ranks and
conditions Of life, among the old, the
middle aged, the young, and even chill
dren. But case of an infant becoming
victim to it's pernicious influence has
Just come to our knowledge. A man and
his wife had been in the habit Of taking
opium for years, and one of their chief de-
lights was In indulging themselves over
the pipe in each others company, each TAX
ING alternate whiffs. One day the woman
gave birth to boy, and all the household
was in an ecstatic state of joyfulness. But
before long the baby began to show signs
of illness, and although a physician was
sent for they could not discover the cause
Of its symptoms. Every effort was made
to save the child, but he only grew worse
and worse until his parents gave him up
for lost.
In despair they took their pipe to
soIace themselves, and behold as they
puffed at the pipe the smoke was waited
to the child's nostrils, and, giving q
sneeze, he instantly revived and began to
cry. Upon inhaling more Of the smoke
he changed his crying into laughing and
became exceedingly lively. After that he
was all right as long as he inhaled the
smoke at regular periods Of the day.
One day, however, his parents neglected
to give him the accustomed dose of smoke
and before they were aware he died.

Discipline Among Circus Employees.

Life on the road is far from easy for a
circus company; unlike a theatrical COM
blnation, it rarely stops for moro than q
single day in one place. Early in the
morning the destination is reached and the
trainmen and tentmen begin to unload the
wagons and haul out the tableau cars.
Then the tent is pitched and the perform
ers assemble i'll the dressing tents and
prepare for the parade. In this all take
part, and it is looked upon by the princi-
pals asthe prime nuisance of the day. The
parade over the dressing rooms are once
more occupied, and soon all are ready for
the afternoons performance.
Discipline behind the scenes is strict
indeed. A system of fines keeps vagrant
spirits in check, and though to an out
slider all Is hustle and confusion, every
thing moves with the regularity of clock
work. Each ''turn," as an appearance in
the ring is called, has to be made to the
second, for should the performer be even
tritle beyond time he or she would dis
arrange the whole schedule of the pro-
gramme. But little skylarking is indulged
in, for all are intent on business. The
show over the people betake themselves
either to their lodgings or to the camp"
tent, snatch a hearty meal and rest a
while before the evening show begins, at
the close of which rush is made for the
train, and the hunks in the sleeping cars
arranged so as to occupy much less room
than those in a Pullman car (there are
sometimes three or four tiers) are soon
occupied, and before the train is under
way the tired performers are asleep. The
tent and train men are the last to turn
in, for they have been engaged in strik-
ing the canvas and getting the animal
cages and tableaux cars safely on board.
They work with incredible quickness,
however, and soon all is ship shape and
the train is rushing onward with the
slumbering crew to the next stopping
place, where all begins over again

shadowing a Suspected Man.

The work of shadowing a man Is easier
than person who has never been in the
business would think. You must first
study your man thoroughly 50 you
would know him If you only saw one of
his boots, and you must do this without
attracting his attention, which is not
always a simple thing to do. A man who
is to be shadowed is always man who
has reason to suspect that he will be
shadowed, and consequently he will be on
his guard and very watchful. If the man
Is not an experienced criminal one detect
i've ought to be able to follow him day
and night as long as there is any necessity,
but if he is an old hand one man cannot
do the work, and can only queer it by
trying it. There should be three or four
shadows, each one ready to take up the
work when for any reason the person who
is following the man deems it prudent
to quit.
You see an old criminal has many de-
vices for finding out if he is being
watched. He will Jump on O car, ride a
block and get off. Well, if you have not
got another man ready to take up the trail
then, you will flush your bird. Or he will
get into q cab and ride block or two and
get out. We must be prepared for all
that sort Of thing. Usually the shadow
will keep on the other side of the street
from his man, from a half to whole
block behind him, and pay as much at.

How a Lithocranh Is Made.

After the photographer has carefully
studied the original drawing before him
and laid out his plan he makes a careful
tracing of it on transparent gelatine, on
which he indicates every line or shade or
graduation, and this tracing is carefully
transferred to a previously prepared stone
and serves as "key" to the entire work
and for all the color stones.
The work on stone is drawn with q
greasy black chemically prepared crayon,
which, by the way, has to be sharpened
backward, or from the point up, as it's
very brittle nature will not allow of it's
being sharpened in the ordinary way.
The greasy crayon penetrates the stone,
which is then subjected to a solution of
gum arabic and nitric acid, after which it
is carefully washed off with water. The
black drawing, however, still shows, but
is now easily washed from the face of the
stone with turpentine, leaving the sur
face, to all appearances, as clean as when
the stone first came into the artists hands.
1t is then dampened with water. The
printer passes his roller, charged with
color, over the surface, and this adheres
only where the stone is dry, OF in other
words, where the grease of the crayon is,
and this color Is transferred from the
stone to the paper.
The same process is employed for the
application of each successive color, por-
tions of the picture being drawn on,sev-
eral different stones to obtain what may
be called the composite tints, while others
are only drawn on a single stone, when
the color in the picture is to be one OF
those directly employed. New York

Fixing I'm tho Passes.

When the interstate commerce bill went
into effect, by the way, it was supposed
that free passes would be everywhere
abolished. The railroad passenger agents
and managers so announced with -four
ish of trumpets. But where a railroad
man wills he still finds way. AS an IL
lustration, may mention the case of
friend who applied recently for a pass
over a trunk line to a western city,
scarcely expecting to get it, yet being
compelled by his circumstances, and feel
ing that for indirect services long ago
rendered he was entitled to transporta-
tion.
He was told that he could only get q
pass within the lines of the state in which
the main line Of the system is incorpo-
rated, or between any two points within
the boundaries of a single state. Cant
you fix me up for all the states in that
way" he asked, except between the sta
tions when you cross the state lines, and
let me pay for that distance to the con-
ductorH" The man of passes smiled good
naturedly as he said: Eyes, might, but
I'll tell you what I'll do. l know you are
entitled to the consideration, and I'll Just
engage you in my travelling advertising
corps for a couple Of days. You shall
have your travelling expenses for your
services. Here are the passes" A wink
and pleasant nod accompanied the de-
livery of the bits of paper, which had
meanwhile been filed up, and my friend
came away wiser and happy.-New York
