Persian likes to have every thing made

make sure that what he buys is fresh,
and that he isn't cheated. 1t is not to
be wondered at that the bazars are the
favorite lounge OF the middle and
lower classes. All day long the great
arches of the bazar are thronged by a
noisy, pushing crowd, hurrying and
gesticulating, but all in high good
humor. Here come the mountebank,
the buffoons. the proprietors of dane

the itinerant vendors of flowers, let

traveller finds it very difficult indeed to
tear himself away from the innumera-

The Effects of Opium.

Opium-eaters take the drug in every
variety of form. In the crude state the
gum is eaten or smoked. In the liquid
preparations the tincture is the most
popular; but paregoric is favorite
form, especially with women, while the
elixirs are also largely used. Morphia
holds sway over largo proportion OF
consumers, either by the stomach or
hypodermically. The amount of the
sulphate OF morphia that can be toler-
ated by confirmed subject is enor-
nous. sometimes reaching as high as
sixty grains in twenty-four hours.
Every physician has seen in opium haoi-
tues cases illustrating. to greater or
less extent, the stimulant action upon
the intellectual centers. There arc
cases of society women who, having
spent most of the day in bed. will flash
most brilliantly in the evening under
the influence Of the drug. And the
fascination of literary and aesthetic
conversation. so captivating to the
habitues of salons, is not unfrequently
the inspiration Of the potent stimulant.
When the habit is given up. the mind
usually is restored to its normal activ-
;tv. but when INDUCED in for years,
opium may produce a permanent ener-
walton of the mental and moral .acul-
ties. and this deterioration is no
doubt due to organic degeneration OF

Many a farmer has died in debt

There were by actual count, says
the Prairie Farmer, $50 coops of fowls
shown at the Chicago Livestock
Show. As rule the exhibit was much
superior to that Of last year.
Pigs should be pushed forward
rapidly in growth before extreme cold
weather as matter of economy, heat
being expensive in winter. The warm
err the weather the lower the cost Of
production.
Question open for discussion: Can
better show fowls be produced in the
South than in the North? We have
heard it said that the affirmative of
this proposition is true. -Fdrmers'

1t is claimed that five hundred

Over half the cotton crop of West

About Sweet Potatoes.

Does the killing of the vine by frost
affect unfavorably the potato in the
ground, is question which nine per.
sons out of ten in this latitude would
answer in the affirmative. They claim
that the frost. which kills the vine,
descends to the potato below and af-
fects its eating qualities. / have known
persons, under the influence of this
idea, to go out by moonlight or lamp
light, and remove the vines from their
potatoes. That this is all very absurd,
and that the keeping qualities OF the
potatoes are often seriously impaired
by the premature gathering involved
in cutting off the vines, | am thor
oughly convinced, and will give some
of the reasons for the faith that is in
me.
Years ago / spent winter in Louis
lana, and was struck with the fact that
in private gardens sweet potatoes were
allowed to remain in the ground all
winter and were only dug when want
ed and yet the vines were SO thor
oughly killed by frost that scarcely any
thing remained but the hill to indicate
where the potato grew. In CONVERSE
ton with residents of Georgia and
other Southern States upon this point,
they have invariably assured me tina,
they paid no attention to frosts; and
large grower made it point to leave
his potatoes in the ground nntil the
vines were thoroughly killed before he
dug them.
once gave a neighbor some plants
(of which | had a surplus) to grow
upon the shares. He left his crop in
the ground until they received three as
severe frosts as ever saw. When my
share was received they were of better
quality and kept better than mine,
which had no exposure whatever. For
twenty-five years | have acted in ac--
cordance with the above facts, and have
had no cause to regret the course.
| Whatever will cause rot, premature
gathering, careless handling or an IN
suitable cellar, will produce the pc
culiar taste which people enormously
ascribe to frOst.-H c., in Farmers

What the Cow Gives Us.

American dairy interests are start
lingly enormous. They represent an
investment of nearly 25 times the en-
tire bank capital of the country-that
is to say, the bank capital is a little
less than $971 900, 900, while the dairy
interests amount to more than So, 000,-
100000.
Of course our readers can not swal-
low such frightful figures in lump,
and we will therefore arrange them in
several smaller but still heRoic doses.
The number of mich cows is esti-
mated at 2l,000,00O They give each
an average of $50 gallons of milk an
nually. This would make an aggre-
gate milk production of 1850, 000.O00
gallons, a miniature ocean, a fEir-
sized Niagara. Four thousand mill
ions are used for cheese, and the re-
mainder 8, 1850, 900, 900 pass through tho

this land of freedom.
The quantity OF butter manufactured
and used is about $50, 900, 900 pounds,
and of cheese $685. 900 pounds. The
value of our dairy products for the
last year was nearly $500, 600.
This is $20,000000 more than the
value of our annual wheat yield, while
it closely apToximates that of our
corn crop, which is the most valuable
of our farm products.
To support this immense dairy herd
100,00Q,000 acres of pasture land are
required worth $3.50, 100000. 1t is
easy enough to see, therefore, that
the 100000 farmers in this country
are an important element of our Ma

Bately M. Serge Noirkoff, of Constants
nople, gave an instance of the sort in
question. He caught half q dozen of
these creatures, he says. and deliberately
put the question to the test. Arranging
on the floor q circle of glowing charcoal,
having no break in 1t, a scorpion was
placed in the centre. Although the circle
was large enough to prevent the scorpion
being injured or even incommoded by the
heat if it remained in the middle. the
animal, finding itself surrounded by fire,
began to look about for the means OF
escape. At first its movements were
slow, but o its movements increased
and finally it raced in a tfrantic fashion
around the inner circumference of the
charcoal. After racing for some time in
this manner it retired to the centre OF the
ring, and, deliberately plunging its sting
into it's back. put an end to its life in a
