OPIUM IN LETTUCE.
The Dangerous Friend of Sleep Lies
in Wait Everywhere.

- "
/ Opium may be grown in almost any
temperate or tropical cline. Persia
produces great deal, so do Arabia and
Egypt. Large quantities are raised in
Germany, some is grown in France, and
even Italy and Spain contribute a share
to the annual production. Attempts
have been made to raise it in the United
States, and although only in part sue
cessful, the failure was not due to any
deficiency in soil or unfavorable ten
dency in climate, but rather to the fact
that hand labor is almost indispensable
for its production, and, in this country,
hand labor is so expensive that the
United States opium cannot compete
in the markets of the world with that
raised in Oriental countries.
The largest portion of the worlds
crop is grown in Turkey, China and In
dia, the last-named producing more
opium than any other two countries.
Along the River Gauges there is strip
of territory 200 miles wide by 600 in
length, which seems particularly suited
to the production of the opium poppy,
and in this district opium is grown al
most to the exclusion of other crops.
So far in advance is India, when COM
pared with other opium producing coun-
tries, that while the crop of Turkey, the
next most productive, has not been
known to exceed 10000 baskets of
three or four pounds weight, that Of In
dia is more than 100, 600 chests, each
containing 100 pounds OF the product.
Opium is made from several varieties
of the poppy, even the common lettuce
of our gardens containing a proportion
of the deadly drug, proportion which.
although small, is sufficient TO impart to
this esculent its sleep-giving quality.
There are several kinds of the poppy
which produce opium in abundance,
and opium growers in different coun-
tries have their preferences. the excel
lence of the plant for the purpose in
tended being probably due to qualities
of soil, for the best opium peoples of
India, when sown in China, produce an
opium by no means equal to that of
their native soil
The plant is known in mythology and
history, and even the ancients knew the
sleep giving poppy, the emblem at once
of forgetfulness and death. Formerly
all portions Of the plant save the root
were used in the manufacture of opium,
the plants being cut, dried and pow
dered. But the opium so obtained was
weak, and ingenuity soon set to work
to devise ways and means for obtaining
a stronger and better article Of the prod

To meet the eyes that should thrall you;

For the sound of the voice that should call

To the best of your hearts believing;
Hyou have found that the great gods know
That measure. di vine and human,

Ifyou can live and wait for her

for ten minutes longer, and then slowly
thrust up my head.
