HASHEESH SMOKERS.
A NARCOTIC IN INDIA THAT HAS Pc
cULlAR EFFECTS.

The Use of a Vegetable Among Savage
tures-Hasheesh Makes Some People
Peaceful and Others Drunk.
Alcohol, opium and cocaine are the
cause of endless woe to humanity.
What if something could be found
which could be substituted for these
poisons and at the same time have a
pleasing and beneficial influence on
man, and instead of making him wild
would quiet him as did the Tyre of Or
pheus? The African traveller, Wiss
mann, describes in detail the Cultiva-
ton and use of the "riambO" among the
former cannibal inhabitants of Lubuku,
by which their customs and manners
were made so mild that it was even for

imals This people, who before had
been aggressive leaders i'll wars, are now
living in peace. Villages which hereto
fore had been engaged in bitter feuds
became friendly. Laws and customs of
the most peaceful kind were introduced,
with the result that the country into
which strangers had never before ven
tured was open to all.
This peaceful disposition, as also this
antagonism to the shedding of the blood
Of animals, points to a characteristic fea-
ture Of an old oriental people. These
are the Indians The same herb which
made the cannibals of Lubuku the
friends of men, and which they call
"bashilange.' has been known to the In

orally it is called "hasheesh," which sig

tobacco, or smoked as such, or the juice,
called "damamesk,' is used with sugar
and almonds or whisky.
In moderate amounts the Indian hemp
and its preparations have u mild effect
on the nervous system and produce a
pleasant state Of feeling, at any rate
among the Orientals. Larger quantities
produce lntOXiCatiOn. In the east the

 LONDON, Oct. 12.-Something of a sensation has been created in radi- cal and free-thought circles through out the country by the announce ment that with the present week the National Reformer, the noted weekly established thirty-three years ago by the late Charles Bradlough will cease to exist For over quarter of 3 century this journal furnished the late champion of English republi- canism a large income, and it's col ums were the exclusive medium of his terrific fussillades against the church and the state At one time it's circulation was in the neighbor- hood of quarter ofa million weekly, and it was regarded as one of the most valuable newspaper proper ties in the metropolis, outside of the dailies. It's decay is attributed partly to the decease of its founder, partly to the rapid dwindling of late wears in the ranks of the atheis- tic element, and partly to the fact that the English radicals prefer to take their politics straight rather than to have them mixed with icon- oclastic irreligion
