ONE BANE OF THE EAST.
HasFleesh, the Drug Which, When
Long Used, Results in Idiocy.

Pail Mall Budget.
The word hasheesh has a fascination all
its own. ami this fascination is naturally
intensified by the general ignorance which
prevails as TO the subtle workings of this
strange and mysterious vegeta BILE compost
ton. At the latter end of last year Lord
Rosebery requested the representatives
of Great Britain in Egypt, Greece
and Turkey to report on the
regulations affecting the importation
and sale of basheesh, and these reports have
now been presented TO the houses Of Par
lament This noxious drug, which is so
baneful in its results, is chiefly composed of
the husks Of the innocent hempseed. but
which after Its preparation loses its inno-
ceDce and becomes one of the greatest
curses of the East. One report states that
hasheesh disturbs the functions of the sys-
TENS Of digestion and circulation; that it
Injuries the senses and motive powers; that
it dis,urhs the cerebral functions.
The report continues: The phantoms
seen by, and the tendencies manifested in
those who are intoxicated with hashsesh
generally indicate the usual habits of
thought and moral character of the intoxi-
Gated person, OF the thoughts and passions
by which the man was possessed on the day
that he became Intoxicated. or at the mo-
ment in which the symptoms of poisoning
began TO make themselves manifest. Per-
sons given to the use of hasheesh who be-
come maniacS are apt to commit all sorts
of acts OF violence and murders. Some
times the intoxication impels the person
under its influence to suicide, or the com
mission Of acts forbidden by morality.
All authors are unanimous, basing their
opinion on numerous observations among
eastern peoples, that the long use of the
drug weakens the BODY and causes atrophy
dulls the mind and creates hypochondria
idiocy and mania. Those who indulge in *
have fixed look, without expression, and
an ldlOtlc nDDearauce. According N st NJ
tical information obtained from the lunatjc
asylums of Cairo and Bengal the majority
OF the maniacs and idiots became such from
abuse of hasheesh. In all the countries
from which the reports were received the
importation, cultivation OF sale of the drug

Burned by the Sun.
New YORK Sun.

The pale round spots, about as large In
circumference as a tack head, that one sees
on cigars now and then are said to be
caused by dewdrops and randrops that act
as burning glasses when the sun shines
through them on the green tobacco leaf.
BE that as 1t may, the florists declare that
palms are often burned by knobs and CORFU
cations in the glass roofs of their green
houses, as those irregularities tend to focus
the suns rays. The effect of this strong
heat on the palm leaf-which is as sensitive
to heat as it is TO colds to cause a RUSTY
brown spot TO appear on the green. Some
times the apparent motion of the sun in
passing westward will trace line of scorch

ARSON OR ACCIDENT 3?
Unexplained Cause of a Serious Fire
on Mission Street.


An alarm was turned in at 9:25 o'clock

The fire originated in Peter Lynch's
horseshoeing establishment, next door but
one from the corner. The cause of the
blaze is not known. bat in very few min
utes from its discovery the whole building
was III flames.
Above the blacksmith's shop is an unused
carpenter-shop. formerly owned by Brady

destroyed, ana the fremen prevented the
spread OF the flames as much MS possible by
cutting eway and throwing into the street
some of the burning window-frames and
oVerhanging timber.
At the corner Of BeaIe and Mission
streets the saloon of William Muller was
seriously threatened, but prompt measures
saved the premises from other damage than
a cutting.
The damage is estimated at $4,000 1t is
possible that the fire is the work of an in
