were assembled as guests at the south
ern homestead of Col. Barker Wylie.
Vegetation itself seemed listless and
langnid after the heat of the day, and
Its murmur as the breeze struck it from
time to time sounded like protest
against the enforced activity.
The people on the big, vine-sheltered
piazza Were tanning themselves and
making little effort even in the way of
conversation. The colonel was the only
one who did not remain quiet. He
walked restlessly up and down and re-
piled to the protests of his family
against such exertion with degree of
impatience that was remarkable in him.

where l was leaning against one of the
pillars, 1.-The man who came here to-

The colonel then went on to explain
how Jackson happened to be his guest

which ! easily noted. He had used that
spirit of hospitality to it's utmost, and
instead of being sojourner for few
hours, as had apparently been expected,
he accepted without hesitation the
formal invitation to become visitor
for an indefinite length of time.
"Where is Fred now?" asked.
My father and the colonel had been
friends from boyhood, and had fully a
brothers affection for his only son, al.

OPIUM CULTIVATION IN INDIA.

License Must be Secured from the Govern

AS the cultivation of tobacco is pro.
hibited in England, except under a spe.
cial license from the excise authorities
so the cultivation of the poppy in Brit
ish India is forbidden unless license
has been taken out. When cultivator
takes out permit from the opium de.
partment to cultivate certain area
usually two-thirds OF an acre of his
own land) he receives an advance in
money to secure his allegiance, and he
binds himself to deliver to the opium
agent, at fixed price, ordinarily five
shillings Zone dollar and twenty-five
,ents) pound, whatever opium may
oe produced upon his land. When Off.
,ial supervision is efficient it is very
difficult for man to cultivate poppy
en- larger area than is covered by his
license without detection. The cult.
vation cannot be concealed. 1t is sort
OF garden cultivation, the poppy plants
being grown in little squares or beds
intersected by tiny water channels for
irrigation whenever this is possible
The growth OF the plants is carefully

when they burst out into flower and
the fields look like sheet of silver as
the white petals of the flowers glisten
in the morning dew. These beautiful
petals are the first produce of the crop;
for the women and children of the cul.
tivators' families come forth and pick
them off one by one and carefully dry
them, SO that they may serve afterward
as the covering of the manufactured
cakes of opium. Then the poppies, with
their bare capsule heads remain stand
ing in the open field until it is consid
cred that they are ripe for lancing.
The cultivators then come forth in the
evening and with an implement not
unlike the knives Of cupping instru.
ment, they clarity the capsule on its
sides with deep incisions, SO that the
juice may exude. In the early morning
the cultivators reappear witha scraping
knife and their earthenware pots. and
they scrape of the exuded juice and
collect it in their pots. And this is
crude opium. -Pearson's Weekly.
