FRUIT OF THE POPPY.

Opium OF the first class must be
tough, smooth and n rich brown shade,
bitter to taste and strong OF scent.
In 1892 81 per cent. of the suicides in
India were from the use Of opium and
one statistician credits 90 per cent. of
the women suicides to the same drug.
e-thirteenths of the opium OF
India is sent to China for smoking. Dur
ing Nictoria's reign the Chinese have
paid into the British treasury for In
dian opium $3.50 ,OOo,oOO.
The growers of India. in white tur.
bans and gowns. sit IN the blazing sun
waiting for their opium to be sorted
when they so to market. The unrpe
poppy seed pod has been cut into five
times and the milky sap dried in the
sun and kneGded into cakes, the best
Of which are covered with dried leaves,
and thus brought to market.
The Chinese government does all in
its power to check the opium habit, the
punlshments common in the Chinese
army for this habi, being extreme. For
the first offense man may have his up

Those who say poultry does not pay
do SO because in the first place they do
not expend the proportionate time and
brain In caring for their fowls that they
do with their other stock, says the
Western Rural. In the second place,
tney do not keep an account. hence the
many little sums are overlooked when
compared with those derived from the
cows, for instance, where many times
the capital is invested. Take care OF
your hens for one season, credit them
with all tho eggs and chickens used at

charging the feed and time to them. and
see il they do not yield a greater profit

unanimous in declaring that it is one

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

italian bees are proof against moths
and worms.
Too much stimulative feeding often
tends to induce robbing.
Colonies having defective queens are
always the foundation OF trouble.
The strength of the colony deter
mines the amount of brood therein.
The ground in front OF each hive
should be banked up level with the en-
trance.
The first thing after hiving a swarm
Of bees in frame hive is to adjust the
frames.
BE sure that the entrances are kept
open: bees must have fresh air ia
breathe.
The best material in the smoker is
dry, rotten wood that has become light
and spongy.
When robbing once gets started in
the apary it is very troublesome ana
hard 10 check.
A gargle made Of sage tea and sweet.
ened with honey is one of the best rene
dies for colds or hoarsness.

Russia's AdamIess Eden.

While Russia does not take rank as
thoroughly up to date and progress
sive in all lines, il will surprise many
people to learn that there is in that coun-
try district whicl is wholly admin
istered and for the greater part of the
year exclusively inhabited by the fair
sex. 1t comprises some fifteen square
miles in the province of Smolensk.
In the early spring all the able-bodied
males emigrat3 in search of work to
the large towns, and remain absent
for nine months or more, leaving their
wives and daughters to cultivate the
fields, and manage local affairs gen.
orally under the presidency of
Mayoress. Before nightfall the women
are said to assemble in a sort of club
house aud play cards till or o'clock
in the morning. Moreover, against
the return of the men folk they brew
quantities of BRAGG, or small beer, and
cook numbers of piroghis, or patties.
This Adamless Eden is one of the
most prosperous and best conducted
portions of the Empire, and the
Czarina takes strong interest in its
welfare.

white heat is dipped into quicksilver,
whereby it is excellently hardened,
and sharpened by grinding on a whet-
stone. If the drill thus prepared is
moistened with a saturated solution of
camphor and oil of turpentine and the
bore hole is kept rather moist, glass
may be drilled like wood.

Of this sum the lawyers got half, uD-

the pendency of the suit tho woman
married again. She says that the SOM

companies concerned will pay up.
