Opium From Lettuce.

A sort OF opium is obtained from the
common lettuce. The scientists give it
a long name, which, no doubt, means
something very learned and profound,
and declare that they can find I'M
portant differences between the opium
of the lettuce and the opium of the
poppy, but, for all practical purposes,
the one is identical with the other
many man who has eaten lettuce
knows how sleepy it causes him to be-
come an hour or so after dinner, and
the older the lettuce the greater the
sleepiness, for in mature lettuce the
milk Juice is well developed and all the
properties of the opium are present.

FAMOUS CAVALRY corps.
A Spirit Which Makes Fighting Not A
Trade, but an Inspiration.

AAodST GGf 49,
In the celebrated corps known as the
Guides Cavalry esprit de corps is more
than a word It is a living part Of the
regiment. Even the last Joined re-
cruit feels no punishment so deeply as
the reproach: You do no credit to the
corps" and mature soldiers in very
shame voluntarily take their discharge
if so addressed by an officer
Illustrative of the high value placed
on personal bravery in the guides as
against a Babu-like knowledge OF the
drill book, two interesting instances
may be mentioned. There was on the
Yusafzai border a noted freelance
named Futteh Khan, who had small
following of horsemen as bold and in
trepid as himself. Even the gallant
and resourceful Sir Harry Lumsden,
with his guides, could not bring this
mar. to book, though oft he tried. AT
last Lumsden struck at unique sol'l-
tion Of the problem by deciding that he
would enlist Futteh Khan and the
whole of his band! Accordingly a po-
lite note was written saying that
Lumsden had the greatest respect for
the bravery and daring of Futteh Khan
and his band, and it was a pity that
they and the guides should continue a
bootless feud to the profit of neither,
and that he would make Futteh Khan
a ressaldar and take over the whole OF
his band as it stood Futteh accepted
the offer and he and his men served
with distinction for many years with
the guides, taking part in the historic
march to Delhi and doing yeoman SER
vice before its walls.
The other incident occurred when
Sir Francis Jenkins was Colonel. The
guides, with other troops, having made
a turning movement, dropped down
into Khyber Pass, in the rear Of Ali
Musjid, so as to cut off the enemy's
retreat when the frontal attack should
be driven home. Among the first
batch OF the lugltives to come up -he
pass was squadron Of Afghan cav
airy, which, making a rush for it,
managed, with some loss, to run the
gauntlet and get through. One man
alone was seen quietly walking his
horse in the wake of the fugitives and
deflantly waving his sword in the face
of the heavy fire of 800 rifles. How
he came not to be hit was a marvel,
but Sir Francis Immediately ordered
the Cease fire" to sound. The COLO
guy which ensued was delightfully."-
unique. who are you" said the
Colonel. Il am, Sultan Jan Kazilbash,
and l don't care box of grapes for
you and the whole of your army"
You are "a monstrously brave man,
anyway" said the Colonel, will you
enlist in my regiment?" Eyes, I will"
said Sultan Jan, for | have heard OF
you and the guides as brave warriors" "
And enlisted he was on the spot, made
Duffadar there and then, and after
ward served with distinction through
the campaign. At the end of two years,
when the war was over, he went to
his Colonel and said: Il am a man of
war, and cannot face all the drill and
monotony of an Indian cantonment in
peace time; with your highness' per-
mission will now take my discharge. .
And away he went, freeman born, and
as such determined to die.-Times Of
India.
