The Curse of Opt UNI in China.

die annually from its effects, said Chi

twenty-five years Of his liio in the Flow

This habit is rapidly growing he
went on. at is confined to no class or
seq, but men and women, officials and
coolies, use it alike. As soon as opium
smoking becomes confirmed habit with
Chinese coolie he knows that he has
about ten years to live, That seems to be
the average. l consider it easier to reform

type of drunkards than an opium smoker.
Place them behind iron bars, if you like,
and after Icing imprisoned short time

How to Keep Cider Sweet.

Pure, sweet cider, that is arrested in the
process OF fermentation before it becomes
acctic acid, or even alcohol, and with
carabonic acid gas worked out, is one of
the most delightful! beverages. The fol-
lowing scientific method of treating cider
will preserve its sweetness When the
saccbarine matters by fermentation are
being coverted into alchohol, if bent
tube be inserted air tight into the bung,
with the other end in pail of water, to
allow the carbonic acid gas evolved to
pass off without admitting any air into
the barrel, beverage will be obtained
that is tit nectar for the gods. A handy
way is to fill your cask nearly up to the
wooden faucet, when the cask is rolled SO
the bung is down. Get a common rubber
tube and slip 1t over the end of the plug
in the faucet, with the other end in the
pail. Then turn the plug so the cider car
have communication with the pail. Aftei
the water ceases to bubble, bottle or stor,
away. Scientific American.

The problem has puzzled many why
two pieces of wood sawed from the same
section OF tree should possess very varied
characteristics when used in different po-
sitions. For example, gate post will be
found to decay much faster if the butt
end Of the tree is uppermost than would
be case if the top were placed in this pc.
sition. The reason is that the moisture
of the atmosphere will permeate the pores
of the wood much more rapidly the way
the trees grew than it would if in the OPP
posite direction. Microscopical examina-
! ton proves that the pores invite the as.
cent of moisture, while they repel Its
descent. Take the familiar case of {
wooden bucket. Many may have noticed
/ that some of the slaves appear to be en-
tirely saturated, while Others are appar

Terrible Atrocities Revealed by q
Belgian Explorer.

The accounts given by the Belgian ex-
plorer, M. de Meuse, Of the state OF affairs
on the upper reaches Of the Congo, show
that atrocities and cannibalism of the
most terrible nature are practiced there
still. During the three years and three
months n, dc Mcusc was travelling in the
country, says the Liverpool Mercury, he
every where saw that human life was held
in highest possible regard. Indeed, hui
man beings, both men and women, were
for sale in every village for the purpose
of being killed and eaten.
The individuals who were slaves ap-
pcared indifferent as to their fate. They
invariably had . forklike branch Of q
tree tied around their necks which pre-
vented them from walking about. Pur.
chasers could come and select which part
Of the living mans flesh they would buy,
and when the poor fellow was killed the
flesh indicated was apportioned out.
This practice prevailed in every village,
and "tomtoms" were sounded to tell peo-
pie of the approaching slaughter. The
victim sat down with the tree branch
around his neck, and was generally killed

CAnn;balism was practiced throughout
the whole district, aud in bis three years
travel NJ. de Meuse went from Mahdi
past Stanley falls. The bands Of slaves
organized by the Arabs wherever there
was scarcity Of rice or other food, sub
sisted on their fellow creatures. Thii
was carried to such q pitch that alter I
fight the natives would whip out thci
knives and cut pieces Of flesh from any o
their comrades who had fallen. NJ. d.
Mouse said it would be no advantage
buying one of these men waiting to b,
slaughtered for food as with the proceed
of his sale the owner would be able 4
buy say, two or throe more, 80 that Il
saving one life three Others would be sac

Scarcely week passed during NJ. d
Meuse's journey but he had to fight wit

On one occasion he lost thirty five me

tho most difficult part of the work hs
been completed. NJ. de Meuse expecie
great results to civilization and trad
from the railway IN question. He calcl
lated it would take three generations
lapse after the introduction of civilizt
ton before cannibalism could hope to b
eradicted.
