The Syringe aud the Pipe.

From a western point of view there is
M great drawback TO opium-smoking
1T takes too much time. Western hur-
~ seems, however. to be gradually per-
meating even the vices of the east and
now the morphine-syringe rivals the
o~pium-pipe. if we may believe a report
which reaches us from Hong Kong.
The practice has been known for some
time in Shanghai and some six months
ago it was brought to HongKong. where
there are some twenty houses in
which a regular trade in it is openly
carried on.
Each house has. on the average, fifty
clients, who call in the morning aud the
evening and take their dose. An injec-
lion is much cheaper than q smoke. and.
primarily, no doubt. that is the reason
for its rapid popularity. Curiously
enough, the pretense is that it is used
as a cur for the vice of opium-smoking.
to which, however. il would seem to have
about the same relations as a whisky
bar has to q beer-saloon. The immediate

What a Busy Man Got.

He is n very busy man, so busy In
fact that he neglects eyerything-home,
society and even his meals. Then he
gets hungry and cranky and lonely and
wonders why he has headaches, dyspep-
STA and the blues. But the minute they
show signs of abating he rushes along
on his same mad career.
This bothered the girl who called him
by his first name and exercised the ex-
elusive privilege of scolding him and
questioning his business methods. She
could tell him she didn't see what good
a big business was if he didn't have time
to eat and enjoy the &c I'd things of life
and he would shake his head and think
what a sweetly ignorant and feminine
kind of a girl she was but if any one
else had limited that be was getting thin
aud haggard and had crows feet and
dyspepsia and all the signs of premature
decay he might have resented it. He
was not too busy to send her a little
watch in the shape of a diamond heart
for Christmas but he did not notice that
she sent him nothing but flew down.

and worked like a beaver until noon. He
was pondering over a row OF figures
and a stock ticker when a boy marched
into the room, tipped his hat and set
down a covered tray before the aston

There, dainty as if at a pretty home
table, vas a lunch, a quick, business
mans lunch, but solid and daintily
served. He was never known to do
such a thing before but after a whistle
of surprise he figured away with one
hand while he drunk hot bouillon and
conveyed substantial roast beef sand
wiches TO his mouth with the other hand.
And when he got through, 10 busy was
he, he never even wondered where or
how he had Glanced TO have that repast.
Every day this week it comes in with
charming regularity. 1t is always diff
ferent but always suits him and he has
contracted the trivial habit of men on
salaries of looking at the clock toward
lunch time. When he had time to suspect
and asked that girl of his why she
laughed at him when he wasn't starving

THE Etiquette OF CALLS.

Stern fashion and the ~exigencies O.
polite society have rendered necessary
q set of rules for making calls inexor.
able in themselves, but so faithfully OBJ
served among those who care to know
and do what is right that once thorough.
~ learned the lesson is never forgotten
or its precepts varied. The etiquette OF
calling, as practiced, tends always to
the greater convenience both of hos
and caller, and az usage and custom
have made them necessary they must
be strictly observed. 1t is the duty OF
the mother or chaperon, says the Phila-
delphia Times, not of the young ladies,
to invite a gentleman to call. After q
visit Of this description it is incumbent
upon the first arrival to be the first to
leave. The lady of the house must be
asked for as Ell as the young ladies,
and cards should be left for her as well
as the younger ladies of the family. II
a mar is favored by an invitation to all
upon a family or person he should as
certain the prescribed hours for calling.
and in the first instance. at least, adhere
strictly to those hours.

ones friends with the new address there
ON. Assuming always that the new
corners are desirable people to know, the
duty Of the first call devolves upon tho
older residents of the neighborhood, and
a failure TO show this courtesy where il
is due is not only careless but unpardon-
able, and a first cali should be returned
In person and within q week of the 10
ceipt Of the courtesy.
Where a gentleman las been properly
invited to call upon a lady. or i. Through
the offices of a mutual friend, he is the
bearer of an Introductory letter, he
must do so within a reasonable time-a
week or less-and the call, at least, must
be Of the most formal nature. The
same rule applies with regard to the
acknowledgment of the obligation in-

ton TO a dinner party or similar affair

~MoHAMMED'S NOTIONS.
Why the Moon wsnes and IN Opinion on
Marriage.

The object Of our expedition was
archaeological research. There were
two members of the party not present
by reason Of any scientific zeal. One
was a physician of the party; the other
myseb. says Alfred Singerly in Horne
and Country.
!, When Susa was reached the main
party turned back, but the doctor and
myself concluded TO continue alone. We
were so well pleased with the novelty Of
our prospective trip that we decided to
take photographs OF such mounds, ruins
and inscriptions as came under our OBJ
servation aud present them TO a scientific
society on "a return home. We were
joined by Sheik Mohammed Tsher, a
willy chief. with a placid content in his
own vast superiority over other mortals
that was very amusing. Occasionally
be would "thaw out" and impart some OF
his superior wisdom to us. One even
ing we were on the terrace of the house.
Looking at the full moon as it rose over
the distant mountains, he said plying
ly:
II suppose you don't know why the
moon is not always as brilliant or as
large as IL is tonight" ,
The doctor murmured something
about having some vague notion on the
subject, but that he would be glad to be
put on the right track.
in the beginning, began he majestic
ally, the sun and moon were equally
bright. God created the world. and
then had the angel Gabriel flap his
wings against the earth and put its light
out, and now the angel holds his wing
before the face OF the moon, and some
times hides it entirely"
That's interesting, | remarked, en-
co~uragingly. Tell US some more"
Shelk Mohammed was fattered. and
asked if we knew the cause of the dark
ness of the night. We expressed our
desire to learn the truth, whatever our
previous opinions had been.

TO the editorial rooms the other after

man busily engaged in cleaning a briar
pipe.
"Good-day," said the stoop-shoulder-
ed man.
"Howdy," said the other.
The stoop-shouldered man coughed q
couple of times and then said nervously:
Il just came to say hat I've been a sub

years and this morning l noticed that
you used the word 'apotheosis."

to be going by and thought | would
drop in and ask you what that word
meant"
The pale-faced young man ceased
operations on bis pipe and looked at the
visitor in undisguised amazement. is
it possible, he finally said, that there
is a man or woman or child in this fair
city who does not know what that word
means? | cannot believe, sir, that YOU
are speaking earnestly 10 me You

The stoop-shouldered mar blushed
painfully. "Of course" ne stammered.

of it, though, | am perfectly sure l

Well and the pale-faced young
mans air was patronizing. Il thought
you knew better than to ask such a
question. Good-day, SIR"
The stoop-shouldered man turned and
went out into the hall. As the door
closed the pale-faced young man drop
ped his pipe and shouted: ~Jilamy! o,

A small boy put in his appearance.
