Opium Cultivation in Persia.


Opium occupies the first place in the
foreign trade of Persia. Papaver sOmni.
forum, or white poppy, of which opium is
the inspissated juice, is grown principally
in and about Ispahan, Yezd and Shiraz,
that of Ispahan being superior both in
quality and quantity. The preparation of
the land begins about Sept, 5, and consists
in plowing, narrowing, fertilizing abund-
antly with ashes and detritus, and laying
off into squares to facilitate irrigation.
After sowing, the fields are irrigated three
times, at intervals of fifteen days. After
that there is only one more irrigation
about the middle of the winter. In the
spring irrigation takes place on March 90,
after which the land is repeatedly har.
rOwed and hOed in order to extirpate all
parasitic weeds. The plants are thinned
and then watered every ten days until
towering begins, when all work must
cease.
When the heads have formed and have
fully ripened a last flooding is given.
Then six slight incisions are made at
about the junction of the stem with the
head. This should be done at noon. The
juice that exudes is collected the next
morning and the morning following at
daybreak. When these first incisions
have ceased discharging, others are made
lower down, and the operation may be
thus thrice repeated, the opium obtained
after each successive incisiOn being pro-
portionately inferior in quality. Next,
the plants themselves are cut down and
the heads sold, the natives using the seed
on bread as a substitute for butter. The
end of May is the season for harvesting,

A Delaware Conductor.

A conductor on the P, w. & B. rail-
road was taken sick lust thirteen
months ago Thursday and confined to
his bed with consumption at least all
of the physicians who attended him
said that was the nature of his sick
ness. His wife was a large, stout and
robust woman and was enioying the
best of health, and when her husband
was taken down everybody expected
that she would bury him before many
months had passed. He was given
up by more than six physicians who
attend him. The conductors on the
road were very kind to him, and on
more than one occasion he was made
aware of their friendly interest in his
behalf by receiving handsome purses
of money, as well as provisions, from
his fellow workers.
The wife was taken sick and died
about six months ago, and the husband,
strange to relate, commenced to get
better, and despite what the learned
gentleman had predicted in regard to
his case, was able to report for duty
yesterday, and was assigned his old
post on the road. He is now appar-
emily well, and a widower with three
children to care for. 1t hardly seems
possible that a man could have been as
low as this man was with consumption
or at least that was the doctors re-
ported the malady-shOuld be now
well enough once more to earn his liv-
ing. 1t was a case of faith cure

Royalty Mt Honolulu.

The present king, Kalakaua-meaning
Day of Battle-is not of Kamehameha de-
scent, but was elected to the throne in
default of an heir apparent, none having
been named by the sovereign. lie is not
a man who commands the respect of the
better classes of the people on his islands.
He is much more at home with his native
singers and dancers at Kailua than in
managing and conducting governmental
affairs at Honolulu. In June last year his
actions became so intolerable that the lead
ing citizens of Honolulu inaugurated a
bloodless revolution, forcing the kidg to
dismiss his entire cabinet and appoint
citizens whom they named, and also to
sign a new constitution virtually modelled
upon that of the United States.
The queen is Of good demeanor and
possesses more or less dignity. They
have no children, and the heir apparent is
Mrs. J. 0. Dominis, wife of the governor
of the island. She is the kings sister
Her husband is white, color not counting
for much in that country. II.

Captured Voices.

A phonograph will arrive at Thomas
A. EdisOn's laboratory at Llewellyn
Park within day or two, which,
when it is allowed to give forth the
sounds that are contained within it,
will create no small degree of sensation.
1t contains the tones of the eloquent
voice of William E. Gladstone, ex-
Premier of England, the "Grand Old
Man, who is now Ireland's dearest ad-
vocate. Still more-there is sealed up
in the little instrument a song by the
diva, Adelina Patti, and a speech by
the Right Hon. Arthur James Balfour,
chief secretary for Ireland. Mr.. Edi-
son sent this most perfect of all his
Photographs to England some months
ago with the idea of obtaining for the
editication of the American people the
sounds of the voices of the great En-
glish statesmen, Gladstone and Balfour,
as well as those of the divine Patti,
whose last and only farewell tour is
still fresh in the memory of all lovers
of music in this country. The mission
was success and the phonOgraph, full
of elOquence and song, is almost hourly
expected to arrive. When Mr.. Edison
shall finally turn the crank which shall
unwind the skein of language and mu-
sic treat may be expected such as
may never be experienced again until
Gladstone, Balfour and Patti shall
come in prOpriG persona.

Bureau and Trunk I'M ono.

"What is the latest novelty in the
trunk business2" was asked by a reporter
of well known dealer in that line Of
goods a few days ago.
"The very latest thing, I believe, is
called the bureau trunk, and is made es-
pecially for the use of ladies going to the
country or seashOre, where the accommo-
dations are likely to be moro or less
cramped in the matter of room. think
it about the neatest thing Of the kind
ever put on the market and, to use a
hackneyed expression, fills long felt
want for those who are practically forced
to live in trunk for three months in
in the year"
The dealer then drew from under the
counter a large rectangular shaped trunk.
1t was thirty six inches long and of pro-
portionate depth and width, with a flat
top, and was covered completely with
light colored leather with silver clasps
and mountings. Although of large size,
the trunk was unusually light in weight
and was easily handled, while the central
bands which surrounded it were sufi-
cient guarantee of its stability.
But it was on the inside of the affair
that the popularity which gives it the
name of "bureau" was diclosed and was
made apparent at once when the lid was
raised. In the Hid were two shallow but
good sized drawers for the reception ot
the more delicate articles of women's ap
parel, while above these was deeper
drawer with compartments for hats anC
bonnets. The body of the trunk was spa
cious and capable of holding a large quan
tity Of dresses, etc, when closely packed

Modern Costumes in Greece.

The rich old costumes are coming, OF
have come, to be regarded as ridiculous by
the islanders, and are only put on to please
strangers or by way of a joke. ISl another
generation or two the curious traveller will
be unable to find them. Those that have
gold and lace upon them will be bought
up by Jew dealers, who have been foI
years securing the Hgean like the cOrsairs
of old. The rest will be torn up or thrown
away. 1t is Just the same thing in Pelo
pOnnesus. The men who are the great
dandies all through Greece still don their
Albanian costumes in Sparta and Magalo-
polls if they have not seen the world
But among the rich scarlet and white of
this splendid dress you see the really
fashionable man, the member of parliament
or local magistrate, in black dress coat
and chimney pot hat, perhaps with a
gray plaid wrapped about his shoulders.
And this hideOusly dressed person is
looked up to as the glass of fashion by the
people around him, whose national dress
gives them that dignity of mien and of
manners which always accompanies rich
costume.
So it is with the women. About Mount
Parnassus and its neighboring Alps you
will still find the women dressed on hOli-
days in colors and coins quaint and beauti-
full to behold. In Peloponnesus gaudy
arsenic green, magenta and puppies of the
most nauseous hue are worn in i'll made
dresses copied from the Bavarian court
taste of twenty years ago. To see such
people on a Greek island in the midst OF
Mediterranean blue dancing a national
dance with its curious spiral form is like
seeing beautiful engraving daubed ovel
with water cOlors by an experimenting
child.--GoOd Words.

A Courageous Horse Dealer Badly
Injured by Texas Pony.

Twenty two of the quadrupeds were
sold to IS buyers in Milford on Tues
day of last week ard the COWBOYS and
others connected with the show " left
for Dover, where they will sell a car
load of the same class of stock. Every
horse offered for sale in Milford, found
a purchaser. The prices ranged from
SSl .25 to $66 and averaged about $47.5O
each. The low price at which they
We're sold can be attributed to their
blood, which is cool and to their un-
conquerable spirit, which, before being
broken, is liable to break the neck Of
the tanner. The horses were brought
forward one at time and were roped
around the neck and four legs and
thrown to the ground. This perform
ance was done by the cowboys, who
then proceeded to lash and tie the ami
mails in some unexplicable manner.
Alex. Fisher, a horse dealer living
eight miles south of here, had never
seen a horse he could not ride" He
worked at lite 600-pOund pony he
had purchased for $48 for full two
hours wrestling with him like a ma
JOr. Then at last he cOurageously
mounted the wild animal, but no soon
er had he done so than he dismounted
and the dismounting was far more
speedily accomplished than was the
mounting. The pony went into the
air and came down with all four legs as
stiff as a hickory tree, and Fisher re-
bounded from the pony into the air
and as he came down the pony was
not near by to catch him, consequently
he landed with considerable force on
the hard earth and was badly injured.
MIR. Fisher suffered intense pain and
although there are no bones broken he
is badly bruised and it is feared seri-
ously injured internally as he is bleed
ing at the mouth profusely.
Taken altogether, Tuesday was a
gala day in Milford, and to those who
had seen something of life on the
plains it was one of interest, and to
those who had only read of cowboy
life and Buffalo Bills Wild West Show
1t excited to very high pitch. No
other casualties to the farmers who
started to their homes with their ponies
have been learned, it is safe to predict
that not few of the buyers will be Of
fering their ponies at half price before
very long.

For the Smyrna Times.
Why the Prohibition Party2

The temperance voters of the nation
have abandoned all hope that either of
the old parties will give them reliable
temperance legislation against the
dram shop; and for the very good rea-
son that we cannot expect the liquor
men to legislate against their own in
terests. Both parties are in league
with the dram shop. Some of us for a
long time had believed the Republi-
cans were friendly toward temperance,
but these thoughts have been about all
dissipated since the late Chicago Con-
ventiOn. The organization of that
body and its general complexion and
management weakens such an idea,
but its lCOrk has led us to dispair of any
hope from that quarter. The chair
man was a noted liquor man, and their
work was clearly in the interest of the
American saloon.
1t is true at the close of the cOnVen-
ton, after the platform had been
adopted, and the nominations made,
and their work done, and many of the
delegates mad left, and all was cOnfu-
sion. temperance resolution was in
trOduced and passed, but what sincere
temperance man who loves his God
and home and native land more than
he does his party, feels satisfied when
he reads that resolution? Here it is,
with the temperance resolution of the
National Liquor Dealers Association
adopted in their Chicago convention in
October of 1886.
The first concern of good govern
&c ho i !
people and purity of the home. The
Republican party cordially sympathizes
with all wise and well directed efforts
for the promotion of temperance and
morality.
Resolved, that we recognize to its
fullest extent the duties and RESPONSE
bilities resting upon our citizens, and
pledge ourselves to the faithful perfOr-
nance of every duty
Resolved, that we most earnestly
favor temperance, and appeal to every
member of the trade to make proof
of this declaration by his daily
life, and daily conduct of his business. ,
Now does not any intelligent TEN.
perance man see for himself that the
liquor mems resolution is the stronger,
The Republicans only sympdthiee with
the cause while the liquor men learn
estly favor temperance" what hope
have we from that quarters? and o
course we have none in the Democratic
party.
Then we are compelled to organize
separately on the ground that wha
temperance enactment we occasionally
get is never enforced, for the reason
that both parties are run by the saloor
keepers, and the liquor men cannot b,
expected to enfore a law that will
prove inimical to their own trade. w,
only ask that these facts shall be care
fully examined.

steamers plying ON the volga.

The average American will be aston.
ished to learn that the number of steamers
plying on the Volga and its tributaries is
greater than the number on the Missis,
sippi; that $40, 600, 900 worth Of products
annually come down single tributary OF
the Volga-namely, the Kama, stream
of which few Americans have ever heard
and finally, that the waters of the Volga
river system annually float nearly [, ,000, ,00C
tons Of merchandise, and furnish employ.
ment to 1000 vessels and nearly 200, ,00C
boatmen. It may be that an ordinarily
well educated American ought to know all
these things, but certainly did not know
them, and they came to me with the shocl
of complete surprise. Kenna1
