1t Brings Ravishinr Dreams of Bliss.

In southern Arizona the Jail and
prison officials have their hands full in
trying to prevent the smuggling into
their institutions of the seductive ma
riguana This is kind Of loco weed
more powerful than opium. 1t is dan
gerous thing for the uninitiated to han
die, but those who know its uses say IT
produces more ravishing dreams than
opium. The Mexicans mix it with to-
bacco and smoke it with cigarettes, in
haling the smoke. When used in this
way, it produces hilarious spirit in
the smoker that cannot be equaled by
any other form of dissipation. When
struggled inside the prison walls, the
Mexicans readily pay 81 an ounce for
it, but free men buy it on the outside
for 90 cents San Francisco Call.

There had been rather bad runaway

persons had been injured, and the doctor

student happened to be on the ground
and did excellent service.
When the doctor came, there was
nothing to do, but he listened with
great interest to his young colleagues
exposition of the cases. They talked for
long time ON the hotel piazza. The
farmer who had been driving the horses
and was himself unhurt listened with
eager interest to explanations wherein
scapula, humerus and clavicle played
prominent parts.
Finally he took up the reins sadly
and drove home to his wife. AS soon as
he entered the yard she threw her apron
over her head and hurried forward to
meet him.
"Ephraim says some Of the folks was
hurt" she called. "How much was it?
Did they break their legs or their arms
which,"
The farmer drew in his now pacified
steeds at the post and let the reins
slacken in his grasp.
"Well," he said refectively, leaning
forward, both elbows on his knees 81

Relic Shown American Scientists at the
Base OF Mount Ararat.
DR.. Harry Fielding Reid, associate pro-
lessor Of geological physics In the Johns
Hopkins university, has recently returned
from an interesting trip through Europe
and part of Asia. Toward the end Of July
he Joined tho biologists who were attend
Ing the international congress Of geolo-
gists In Russia on trip to the Ural
mountains, crossing Russia by rail from
Moscow to the mountains. A party Of less
than 80, which DIR. Reid Joined, made an
excursion to the south, to Erivan, the cap
ital Of ancient Armenia, and to Mount
Ararat. Thoy drove for two days In car
riagcs across an interesting region, under
a Cossack guard, as it is not safe to travel
unprotected in that district.
From Erivan the party visited the head
quarters OF the Armenian church, and
was entertained by the patriarch. The
church is several hundred years old and
commands a glorious view Of Mount Ara
rat. The party was shown what Is claim
ed to be piece of Noah's ark, which, the
legend asserts, was brought from the sum
NIT of the mountain by an angel. From
Erivan the tourists also made an excur
sion TO Mount Ararat. The mountain II

Edmond d. Gonooart.

Edmopd de Gon1ourt was the chief
Spokesman of his school. Ho was the
first co set the fashion, or at least the
FIRST to proclaim it. Of going about note

much as on the paternity of the ''hu-

credit so long as the invention is IN
derstood to be of phase, not of thing.
The limitation is necessary, in view of
certain extravaganza pretensioDs which
would assign to the founders of realis-
tic fiction an honor and glory similar to
that which, in physical science, belongs
to tho author CT the ''Novum Orga-
mum. In both cases, we are told, there

Importance of particulars was empha-
sized Unfortunately the comparison
can hardly be extended TO the subject

known when Bacon prescribed rules for
the discovery of her secrets. Human
nature, the motives and conduct of
men, was as well known 1900 years
ago as it is today.
No documentary novelist has added
to the sum of general knowledge or
done more than dress up old truths in
few new garments borrowed from va
rious sciences. The innovation Of real
ism, or naturalism, was at most, then,
one of method applied to given body
of already known phenomena, just as
the same facts may be treated by induc-
ton or deduction in turns. And even
as an innovation Of method it has been
much exaggerated on the fatuous pre-
sumption, often made by De Goncourt
and others, that no novelist before Bal
FAC had ever studied the details Of life
"a presumption resting apparently on
no other basis than the fact that our
old friends, taking such study for grant
ed, did not deem it necessary to be con-
stantly talking about it.-Macmillan' q

IT WAS ABOUT A DOG.

An Apparently EnrneBt. Argument
with a Continuous Beginning.
The man who was waiting for a train
and had nothing to do with an hour
walked down the avenue to see what he
could see, says the New York Sun. On
n corner stood four young men engaged
in apparently earnest argument. The
tall, slender one in light coat waggled
a long forefnger at the others col
lectively, and said:
Now, you take dawg-"
DO wan no dog" put in one of the
others.
'Wha' kim dog?" asked another.
The tall one Strengthened up, wabbled
a bit, and returned to the argument.
You take n dawg," he said.
"Whozh dog?" asked one of the other
three.
The man waiting for train walked
on out of hearing. He made several
blocks down t-.e avenue and then turned
back. The four young men still stood
on the corner, and as he came near he
heard the tall one say:
Nov, you take dwag."
yellow dog?" asked one of the
others.
"Wha'd take a dog for?" asked an
other. 80
The man walked on quickly, and as he
passed out of sound the last he heard
was:
"1ou take dwag."
Perhaps by now the argument has
reached specifications.
