What Opium Is.

Opium is the juice of the seed-vcs-
sells of the whitc poppy. This species
of poppy grows wild 10 England and
in the south of Europe, though it is
supposed to be a native of Asia. Itis
cultivated for its opium in llindusian,
Persia, Asia Minor and Egypt, also in
various parts of Europe. The juice is
obtained by making incisions in the
seed-vessel before il is quite ripe,
when the juice exudes and forms in
tears on the edges of the cuts. This
is left twenty-four hours, when it is
scrapcd off in brownish Jumps with a
blunt knife. 1t then undergoes a
process to prepare it for the market

A Neglected Food.

The people of this country do not
yet know how to use the banana. In
the tropical climates, where the
banana furnishes the principal article
of diet, the inhabitants have found
numerous methods of utilizing this
delicious fluit, which renders it at
once nutritious and palatable. They
boil it, they bake it, as we DO sweet
potatoes. :hcy-peei ii, cut il in slices
and fry it in batter, they smash it
into a paste and dry it in the sun, as
we do apples aud peaches. They
make it into puddings, pies, comits
and preserves, and even smother ii in
sugar until it is candied fruit. In
every one of these ways it is both
pleasant 10 tho taste and wholesome as
an article of food.---[New York Jour
