Hashces1l and Its Effects.

Hasheesh is chiefly composed of the husks
of the innocent hempseed, but after its
preparation loses it's innocence and becomes
one of the greatest curses of the east. One
report states that hasheesh disturbs the
functions of the systems of digestion and
circulation; that it Injuries the senses and
motive powers; that it disturbs the cerebral
functions. The phantoms seen by and the
tendencies manifested in those who are in
toxicated with hasheesh generally indicate
the usual habits of thought and moral
character of the intoxicated person or the
thoughts and passions by which the man
was possessed on the day that he became
intoxicated or at the moment in which
the symptoms of poisoning began to make
themselves manifest. Persons given to the
use of hasheesh who become maniacs are
apt to commit all sorts of acts of violence
and murders.
Sometimes the intoxication of hasheest
impels the person under it's influence tt
suicide or the commission of acts forbidden
by morality. All authors are unanimous
basing their opinion on numerous observa
tons among eastern peoples, that the long
use of hasheesh weakens the body and
causes atropy, dulls the mind and creates
hypochondria, idiocy and mania. Those
who indulge in hasheesh have a fixed look
without expression, and an idiotic appear
ance. According to statistical information
obtained from the lunatic asylnms of Cairo
and Bengal, the majority of the maniacs and
idiots BECAME such from abuse of hasheesh
In most eastern countries the importation
cultivation and sale of hasheesh is forbid
den, but it is used in large quantities ney

Hints on Building,

There is no architectural problem so
complex as that Of building complete and
satisfactory dwelling. No other structure
has to be submitted to the same tests, nor
are the different parts submitted to the
same variety Of uses as those of dwelling.
A public structure Of any character, an
Office building, courthouse, school
building, or others having such general
uses, does not receive the constant, every
day critical attention which comes to a
dwelling. A window casing which is a
little out of line with corner or door in
which there is slight imperfection, or a
sash which does not fit as closely as it
might, is always with and always part
of dwelling and is such part because it
Is constant anxiety and constant annoy
ance to those who live in the house.
Anything which falls short of perfection
in dwelling is subject to criticism. The
mechanical details which have to do with
the plumbing and the general sanitary ap-
paratus, the gas fitting and gas fixtures,
mantels, CRATES, heating apparatus by fur
mace, steam or hot water, the laundry,
electric work and speaking tubes must also
be looked after. To the house builder who
comes in contact with this mass of detail
for the first time it is confusing and often
distressing. Without an architect to con-
stantly advise with him and guide him
through this mass of detail and confusion
It is very serious undertaking, and even
then the confusion and annoyance egreat.

Inside q Prison Cell.

There is popular idea current that a
convict's cell is in all things a forbidding
place-cold, cherries and desolate The
changing of closing grated doors and the
click of iron locks are not pleasant sounds
to hear, and liberty is always sweet, and tho
loss of freedom is always a punishment
doubly severe with the thought that con
finement is compulsory, says recent Wis
itor to the Missouri penitentiary. But dis
sociate from those cells the mental pain
which results from imprisonment, and you
must recognize that many poor and honest
men sleep in humber, less comfortable and
less pretentious rooms.
Cell SO is fair illustration of the furnish.
ings of other cellrooms. In this one there
are II photographs, chromos and steel en-.
cravings framed and hanging on the walls
There are Is books of various kinds, q
slate, papers, a clock, looking glass, four
stools, water pail, wash pan, spittoop,
broom, towels, Bible and sleeping hunks
Cell 81, the ''parlor'' of the dollhouse, is
frescoed from top to bottom, the walls be.
ing nicely decorated, and besides the com
forts which appear in others there are q
birdcage, a fancy knife gut miniature cas-,
tie, an oil painting and magnificent piece
Of fancy pen and pencil work in color.

He Was = Mendicant In America and an
Aristccrat In Austria. s
Matte Modric of Kriz in Croatia is quite
a leading citizen when at home, living in a
nice house, owning good estate and hav-
ing bank account of some thousands of
forms. He often comes, to America and
tells his fellow Croats of Kriz that he
manages important enterprises over
there" Unfortunately for him, he made
q confidant of fellow Krizite, and the
other day letter reached New York ad-
dressed to the police and running thus:
Yesterday, April S, there started from
this place for America a certain Matte
(Matthias) Modric. The object which takes
him to America is q dishonest one, and
hold it to be my duty to warn the honora,
bic authorities so that such swindler will
not be allowed to pass. Beggary is strictly
forbidden in all lands, even in America,
but it is for that purpose that this Matthias

FORE each time for one year, and in that
time, as well know, accumulated $4,000
which in Austrian money amounts to d. O(

| 1t was too true. Mr.. Modric's method
was to pour acids upon his left hand and
exhibit the SCARED member, while he gath
cred in the money of sympathetic New
Workers with his right. One day he met
his fellow townsman, Johann Bralic, on tn.
streets of New York. Bralic was in hare

Modric to assist him. Modric refused tt
do so.

Rev. Father M'Glynn made his
first public appearance since coming
from Rome at Port Richmond, Stat n
Island, Sunday afternoon. An i'm
mence audience gave hir, very ELF
thusiastic welcome. One point of
his discourse was much like that often
advanced by the liberal wing Of the
Protestant church. In speaking of the
doctrine of natural religion he said
that man was made right and born
with an insatiate desire to know the
truth. Such utterances are surely
different from the old doctrine Of the
natural depravity Of man DR..
M'Glynn claimed that his Roman
theology taught natural religion.

Bralic was desperate, and he begged
enough money to get back home. Several
months later Modric returned to Kriz, and
Bralic gave him dead away. The wealthy
beggar started back to New York, but Bra,

Modric stepped onto Ellis island from the
steamship Edam he was at once arrested
When questioned, he immediately fell upon
his knees and cried out: God is my Judge
I swear tell the truth! I never begged in
my life" But they had the evidence or

Do Flies Eat Glass?

An old negro in Jacksonville swears he
has seen flies eating glass. People who use
the electric lights often find small holes in
the glass globes, which they have to patch
up with putty. This old fellow says he
has seen the ordinary housefy alight on
one of these globes, cut a ridge with its SER
rated hind legs and then with its sawlike
teeth cut clear through the glass. It then
goes inside to see if the light itself Ia not a

. GROUND PLAN.


There is a gallery over the corridor, where
the choir and organ are located. It is
reached by stairway from the front vesti-
bule. The inside finish Of the church is of
white pine painted and grained to initiate
oak finish.
On each side of the pulpit platform are
small rooms, one Of which may be used as
q study and the other as robing room.
The church windows are glazed with pleas
ing tints of hammered cathedral glass,
which gives all the desired effects without
the expense of regular loaded and stained
glass.
( The building is steam heated and venti-
lated by combination Of direct and indi-
rect radiation. This building in some To-
calities can be erected for s., 600; in others
it would exceed this amount.

A pretty church is one of the most desira-

every town and village should not possess
one or more churches. BY little we'll di-

and sufficient funds secured to commence
