Opium.

Like most of natures products opium
is classified in grades. The growers of
India, in white turbans and gowns. sit
i'll the blazing sun waiting for their
opium to be sorted, when they GO to
market The unripe poppy seed pod has
been cut into five times and the milky
sap dried in the sun and kneaded into
cakes, the best of which are covered
with dried leaves, and thus brought to
market
Opium OF the first class must be
tough, smooth and rich brown shade
bitter TO taste and strong Of scent.
In 1892 % per cent of the suicides in
Indin were from the use Of opium, and
one statistician credits 90 per cent of
the women suicides to the same drug
However, twelve-thirteenths Of the
opium Of India is sent to China for
smoking. During victoria's reign the
Chinese have paid into the British
treasury for Indian opium 81, 400, 900,
900.
The Chinese government does all in
its power to check the opium habit, the
punishments common in the Chinese
army for this habit being extreme. For
the first offense a man may have his
upper lip cut, for the second he may be
decapitated. For the last so years on
an average a half ton of opium has been
sent to China from India every hour. -
