LIKE ANOTHER LAND.
The World Seemed Strange to IHeso
Two COnvicts.

The World Seemed Strange to Theso
Two COnvicts.
After spending twenty yarr In the
State prison at Lansing, Kan, Where
they were shut entirely from the world
two cOnvicts named Winner ana NC
Mutt were recently set at liberty. 90
completely isolated had they been our
ing their long confinement that when
they walked out Of the prison Tree
men they could scarcely fealize where
tbey were. Everything seemed new
and strange to them. Some Of the ques-
tions they asked upon emerging INTO
the outer world were peculiar indeed.
"See." cried Winner, the moro de-
monstratiye Of the two. There Is
town! There was no town here Wheh
I went ill.," They were told it was
LANSING" LETS not go there" said
Winner. 81 want to go over to those
woods" McNutt agreed, and they went
over to thicket by the roadside. The
two came across a cow. us that a
cow" said Winner, hesitatingly. Don I
90 on. Let me look Mt it," And he cir
cled around the animal much as a man
examines lion in Barnum's. Then he
aDproached her timOrously, and laid
his hand upon her back. "This," he
said, sis the only cow / have seen in
twenty years
A little later they met flock of geese.
"LooK!" said Winner again. "Tell me,
| really do not know, are those geese or
ducks?" He was told they were geese
and lie tried to pet them. swimmer"
said McNutt, q moment later, "what Is
that scent? Do you smell it?'' eyes, it
must come from those flowers" Both
men descended upon an elderDerry
bush and stripped it Of its blossoms.
They were like two children. They
picked every flower they saw and car
ried it with them.
"See here" said Winner, "here is q
good old milkWeed. How green ana
beautiful it isw And he plucked it and
added it to his armful Of yariegated
vegetation. Arthur" said McNutt
very slowly and deliberately, "do you
notice how queer it is TO talk loudly
How queer the words come" 81 won

Winner. He did not try.
Both men curiously felt the bark OF
every tree they came upon. Finally,
with their arms filed high with green
twigs and flowers, they went to the
hotel in Lansing, where breakfast was
waiting for them. Winner drank three
CUBS of coffee. "How nice it is, he said
"to have sugar IN your coffee! And
cream, too! Think Of that.' How does
the butter strike you" he was asked
"Oh. we'll" said Winner, I'm used to
that. We had butter every Fourth OF
July" Later they paid visit to Kan
sas City, where they asked questions
about everything they saw. They mar
yeled at the high buildings and stared
in establishment at the street cars run
ming along without any visible signs OF
propulsion.
Winners folks are wealthy, among
the most wealthy in Kansas City, and
he went at once to their palatial home,
where he was received with open arms

OPIUM A VALUABLE DRUG.
Commission Has Decided that III Id
Lees Harmful than Alcohol

Commission Has Decided that 1t LIZ
Less Harmful than Alcohol.
The opium commission, appointed IN
England to report on the use ana elrecIS
of opium in India, has rendered us uv-
cision. 1t had to determine whether OPT
I'm. when taken in moderation, was an
Injurious article Of diet; whether III
dian opinion was opposed to It's use,
and whether prohibition was pracu-
cal policy. All three questions are an
swered by vote Of 8 to in the mega
tive. Opium is found to be an excel.
lent remedy in moderation all through
life with practically no i'll effect upon
the healthy constitution, and its habit
ual votaries, like the SikhS and the Raj
poots, display exceptionally fine phys
ique. Doctors know that the effect or
opium differs with every constitution,
and it IS proved that the Indian con-
stitutiOn tOlerateS it better than even
that of the Chinese, who are not pure
vegetarians. 1t no more Injuries them
than wine Injuries Italians or beer the
Bavarian peasantry. In India every
body looks upon opium as allowable,
and the practice Of opium eating Is al
most universal In fact, its prohibition
would be everywhere regarded as an
unjustifiable interference with purely
domestic comfort, just as in this coun-
try an effective attempt to prevent q
man taking q glass of beer with his
home dinner would be considered.
There is q disposition among thought
full natives to look upon the use of the
drug as the alternative to the use OF
cheap alcohol and to dread the resort to
the latter. Religious feeling accounts
for this in some measure but it is we'll
known that, while Asiatics can be
moderate in the use of sedatives, they
lose all restraint when they take to
alcohol SO the commission has decid-
ed that opium Is reputable drug, that
it does infinitely less harm in the world
than alcohol and that its effects in q
large proportion Of cases where 1t is
used are benefcent and desirable This
decision would, of course, greatly sim
plify the question Of prohibition, but
the commission frankly confesses that
prohibition Is simply impossible. There
IS no means of preventing the manu-
facture Of opium in the native states
and throughout India, and no amount
of zeal or expenditure or severity can
prevent the smuggling of drug which
can be carried in a quill, which will
grow anywhere on the continent OF
India, and which national opinion, even
among the officials and the police, en-
tirely approves. The commission says
1--WE can, and do, restrict the use of OPT
um by taxing it enormously, but the
prohibition of it is entirely beyond our
power" The moderate use of opium
is, therefore at last pronounced reSpec
table. There are people on this side OF
the world who have always looked upon
it as a shining virtue compared with tho
loathsome habit, still tolerated by some
cultured nations, Of tobacco chewing II

The pleasure of riding or walking
through country places would be great
w increased if fruit trees lined the
road sides. OF course some OF the
fruit there grown would be taken and
eaten by the passers by, but except near
cities and large villages this demand
would be quickly satisfied. With the
roadside fruit held as common property,
it would be less difficult to protect the
fruit in nearby or adjoining orchards.
The fruit trees would have a further
advantage that they do not grow so
large nor do their roots extend so far
as to injure the fields beside them. We
know some fine rows of large trees by
road sides which elfectually destroy the
soil for one or two rods inside the field
and make it not worth cultiyating. The
elm. whose roots always run near the
surface, is one of the worst trees in this
rcsDect.--EX.

The Food Cure.

To the many who abhOr the taking OF
bitter drugs, the food cure opens an al.
Turing prospect. This is positively the
latest idea, introduced into England by
physicians Of advanced ideas. They
claim that certain foods contain all the
clements necessary to effect cures; that
they have made up Il list which EN-.
braces tonics, febrifuges, duretice, and,
in fact, every medicinal agent that is
defined in the pharmacopia. These
foods are of the simplest character, but
the English doctors do not disclose
them, except to their patients. They
say that in the course Of ten years there
will not be one-third the medicine used
that Is used today.

THE MAD DOG SCARE


Got in the German Settlement,
near klngwood, the people are hay
ing mad dog scare. As reported
In these columns heretof ire, a mad
dog passed through the Settlement
and was killed at Tunnelton. No
one knew how many dogs might
have been bitten by it, and the
people have been watching their
CANNES and stock also. Last week
several dogs in tho neighborhood
developed strong symptoms of hy-
drophobia and were shot. Among
them were the dogs Of Geo. Shuttle,
Chris Bergman, Sam Spears, Frank
Barlow and j. l.. Mckenzie. One
of the dogs tried hard to bite +.
Barlow, but as yet no person is re-
ported as being bitten by any of
these dogs, and too much care cannot
be observed in preventing such an
unfortunate occurrence.
1t seems that some stock has been
bitten by some of the dogs, and are
kept penned up and apart from the
other stock until ii is seen what the
result may be. 1t would be better
to Kill all the dogs in that part of
the country than to have anyone
suffer with such dreadful thing as
hydrophobia from any of them.
There are too many dogs in the
country anyhow, and they will ney.
er DO missed if quite a mum Der of
them are dispatched to the dog
heaven.
Down in Grant district they have
been having scare from this same
thing and all kinds of reports have
been in circulation for a month or
two about it. This is the worst
season OF the year for trouble of
this kind among the dogs. This
period being our warmcst season
and generally very dry and sultry,
and known as Dog Days, from the
Dog Star Sirius, which is supposed
to be in the horizon and to effect
certain conditions on the earth at
this time, and no good is attributed
to this star. In fact, it is popu-
larly believed to be an evil star and
it's influence for evil. Snakes are
supposed to be blind and torpid and
cross, swapping at everything that
disturbs them, and dogs go mad
under this stars influence.
