paper by II. Muck. He considers the
test OF placing sample between the

test tho soitening point cylindrical
piece of the pitch 10 inches in dune
ter and 4 inches long is bent around the
bulb OF the thermometer, 30 that there
is length Of 10 inches ON one side and
OF 3.l5 inches on the other. The ionp
limb Is fixed parallel with the stem ol
tue thermometer, and the whole l.
placed in beaker filled with water and
provided with an agitator. The water is
then gently heated till the longer lint

A few weeks ago a citizen called
upon u well-knOwn athlete and en-
gagged him to give lessons in boxing,
and after about month the teacher
said to his pupil:
"You are In good shape now and
you needn't he afraid to putup your
hands with any of the boys"
Two days later the pupil returned
with n pair of black eyes aud u nose
with the bark all off, and the in
structor exclaimed:
"Great scots, man, but have you

HARVESTING OP.CM.
How tho Poppy Is Gathered and the
Drug Prepared.
Leeds Mercury1


Mr.. Hosie, thel British consul at
Wenchow, in his last report con-
trasting the methods of harvesting
the poppy prevailing in Western
and Eastern China, says that IL the
cultivators of the poppy in the East
Were as skilled in the art of collect
ing the juice as their countrymen in
Western China, 1t is all but
certain that the foreign i'm
port would be very small In
decd. In Western China the
capsules are scarified by means of u
parallel row OF knife points project
ing from one of the ends of short
wooden handle. The incisions,
which are exceedingly fine, are
made la the evening and the juice,
exudng slowly, is harvested In the
morning before sunrise. There Is
no waste. In the eastern provinces,
on the other hand, all instrument
resembling n small carpenters
plane is employed. The operator
passes the plane over the capsule,
leaving the shaving of the skin at
tached to its lower end. The juice
Immediately exudes from the cap
sule, and although the
collector follows closely on
the heels of the operator
1t flows so fast that much of 1t drops
on the leaves oil the stem and is lost.
As an example of the manner IN
l,f a. m
dian, opium Is consumed In his dis
trict, Mr.. Hosie mentions that Il
refuge for the cure of opium smok'
ers was opened by missionary In
the city of Wenchow during the
past year, and that out of many
scores of applicants for admission
only one smoker of Indian opium
presented himself, and he has as
certained from parties we'll qualified
to judge that not more than pei
cent. of smokers consume the foreign
drug. With u view to insure the
full payment of likin OF inland
transit dues on native opium
regulations were with the sane
ton of the high provicial authorities
promulgated previous 10 the har'
vesting Of last years crop by the
likin officers. They enjoined in
tending purchasers, before proceed
ing to the country districts, to re-
port ut the offices the quantities they
proposed to purchase, and to take ou
passes which, with the opium, had
to be presented at the barriers and
stations for examination. Opium
not covered by passes was to be
confiscated, and the carriers pun
ished. But, owing to the ease witt
which the drug can he concealed
and smuggled, the regulations have
not been generally respected.

To those fair Ell nthusiasts who are
prone to the purchase of trifles,
would say: Avoid too many chairs
In room. Avoid rockers that get
in the way and raise the temper and
Jumps on your shins. Avoid small
tables which are so "cute"-those
affairs that take up 50 much room
and hold a couple of books or vase
that Is In constant danger of upset
ting. A friend of mine with a wife
who insisted upon wicker rock
ers with dainty headrests,
aud small tables with blue
china, and who, frequently
had to get up nights for the pare
goric, went out one morning after a
nights cropping for the matchbox
and brought home u pot OF phos-
phorescent paint, which he dubbed
on all corners points and edges of
those darling little rockers and sweet
tables, decorating the matchbox,
the bedposts, the gas-braclet and
doorknobs, determined upon avoid
ing the shoals and wreckages of the
midnight cru ise. And now ut night
the room looks like the ghost scene
from 1.-The Flying Dutchman." The
phosphoresence gathers light all day
and let's 1t loose all night. But
there's no more black and blue
spots, and the toe romps fearless OF
the vicious chair leg.

Deep In the Woods.

Edith Sessions Tupper in Outing.l
Deep in the woods some drowsy summer
day
Have you not heard the fauns and
dryads pass;
Their stealtny footsteps echo on ,hs
grass
As stretched upon the moss you idly lay
Deep in the woods2
And through the dim, far spreading
forest aisles
Have you no. heard mysterioa
whispers faint;
Has there not stole to you q nymphs
complaint,
Or burst of elhsh laughter ringing mile,
Deep in the woodsp
The world forgetting, with its cares and
scorns,
And dreaming there of brownie, spriie
or fay.
Have you not caught their glancIns
forms at play
And heard the winding OF their sylvan
horns
Deep in the woods?
All tell me not the woods deserted be,
That elves and fairies, dryads, fauns
are fled;
For oft beside my velvet, mossy bed
They come, u sportive troop, to visit mo
Deep in the woods.
And peoping meath some overhansng
limb
see the tuce of Puck-that knaysh
elf;
And oft the pipes of great good Pan
himselt
| hear resound through leafy arches dim
Deep in the woods.
