OIdrn Time "RaImsnt.o

In enrly Bible days richly embroider-
ed raiment was enumerated with the
gold, silver and other valuable property
of a rich man. In that primitive age
Dame Fashion was not the fickle god
dess she is ut present. and the "rai-
ment" so frequently mentioned in the
Holy Scriptures descended from father
to son as valuable part of the inher-
ttance. Raiment was often sent, with
gold and gems, as a present to dlgnl-
taries.
1t took not months. but years, to Or
nament some of these garments, and
the gold thread so lavishly used in
embroidering them was real gold.
Moses describes the process of making
the gold thread that was used In orna-
menting the tabernacle. The habit of
making presents of rare needlework is
still common among eastern nations
who changed their customs so slowly.

at high desk especially constructed
for him, throwing of sheet after sheet
as fast as he filled 1t till he would be
quite showed up in leaves Of foolscap.
He often rose in the middle of the
night to note down an idea or verse.
He got up for the day usually at 9
o'clock and would devote from six to
eight hours per diem to his work. He
made but few corrections, his poems
being thought out complete in his brain
before he put pen to paper. 1t is we'll
known fact that he INDUCED in the ar
duous task Of composition while trav.
ersing the streets Of Paris on the top

SECONDHAND STORES.
Modern Houses Vastly Different
From the Old Time JunkShops.

Modern Houses Vastly Different
From the Old Time JunkShops.
"One of the curious aspects of mod
ern business conditions" said philo-
sophie business man. "is the growth Of
what we call the secondhand business.
There are more secondhand houses
now than ever before, and l attribute
it to the changes in style which are
constantly taking place in all things
which enter into the social life. When
one speaks of secondhand store,
there are many persons who will think
simply of secondhand furniture, bu-
reaus, wardrobes, tables, beds and
things of that sort. But the business
has become so extensive that one may
find almost anything in either the USE
full or the ornamental line in these
places.
II am not speaking of the curio
shops either, where you can find any
thing from an antiquated penny to the
rarest and most elaborate thing in an
artistic way, old pictures and new
ones, old books, old anything you may
call for. j have in mind the regular
secondhand houses which do COM
plete and up to date secondhand busi-
ness. Go into one of these places and
see for yourself the changes which
have been wrought in the business.
'"rlme was when one of these places
was n Junkshop merely, a sort Of old
furniture hospital or almshouse, n
place for chairs with broken arms and
tables with broken legs and beds with
SCARED heads and old clocks with
broken faces and missing hands and
all that sort of thing. But the condi-
tions are different now. You see, peo-
pie want to keep up with the process
sion. styles are always changing. A
new kind of furniture comes in. The
furniture on hand is good as new, but
one must have the new thing this new,
magnificent kind of sideboard or this
new colored bedroom suit or this latest
thing in something else. The old stuff
is sold and the new kind bought.
"This is one reason, and the main rea-
son, for the growth of the secondhand
not affected merely furniture and
household goods. 1t has applied to all
the utilities and all the ornaments, and
hence vast variety of things may be
found in the secondhand store."-New

On Proper Vaccination.

1t should be made clear that proper
vaccination is the only known method
of specific value in comforting immuni-
ty from smallpox. The comparatively
short duration of this immunity should
be insisted upon, and simple, intel
ligible description of the ordinary
course OF proper vaccination should
be added. 1t would be extremely USE
full, in view of the wide diffusion of
characterization literature, to make the
frank admission that in the days of
arm to arm vaccination accidental in
oculation with other diseases, although
extremely unlikely. was theoretically
possible, but that the modern method
of glycerinated calf lymph has now de-
stroyed even the remote possibility of
such intrinsic danger. - Saturday Re-

rrnn,e stockton md Poetry,

Frank Stockton never could write q
successful poem. In this connection
the novelist frequently told good sto-
ry on himself. In his youth in con-
junction with his brother John he
wrote many poems with which he af-
tllcted the editors of various Canadian
periodicals. The illusions always
came back. The editor of one maga-
zine was an especial target OF the
Stocktons, but as none of their poems
was ever accepted the brothers came
to the conclusion that the editor had
no conception of good poetry.
TO prove their belief they hunted up
and dispatched to him an ode. little
known, by Milton. Within two days
they received check and a letter Of
thanks. ~ came to the conclusion that
that editor knew poetry when he saw

GATHERING OPIUM.
How the Petals and Juice of the
Poppy Plant Are Procured.

Poppy Plant Are Procured.
1t is a sort of garden cultivation, the
poppy plants being grown in little
squares or beds intersected by tiny wa
ter channels for irrigation wherever
this is possible. The growth of the
plants is carefully tended, and at
length the time comes when they burst
out into flower and the fields look like
a sheet of silver as the white petals of
the flowers glsten in the morning dew.
These beautiful petals are the first
produce of the crop, for the women and
children of the cutivators' families
come forth and pick them Off one by
one and carefully dry them, SO that
they may serve afterward as the cover
ing OF the manufactured cakes of
opium. Then the poppies, with their
bare capsule heads, remain standing In
the open field until 1t is considered that
they are ripe for lancing. The cult.
vators then come forth in the evening,
and, with an implement not unlike the
knives of a cupping instrument, they
ecarify the capsule on its sides with
deep incisions, SO that the juice may
exude.
In the early morning the cultivators
reappear with a scraping knife and
their earthenware pots, and they
scrape off the exuded juice and collec,
it in their pots. And this is crude
oplum.-Blackwood Magazine.

TANKS OF FACTS.
There IL a Difference Between I'm
formation and Knowledge.

formation and Knowledge.
A great many people mistake infor-
nation for knowledge. What man
most needs is not that he may be pos
sessed of an accumulation Of facts, but
that he may know where to look for
the facts when he wants them. We all
know the unpleasant individual who Is
continually seeking information. You
show him about your city and he asks.
How many miles of street railway
have you in your city?' "What is the
price of ice here this summer" How
many churches are there hereT How
long has that building been standing"
ETC., ad nauseam. You don't know and
wonder why he wants to. You know
where you can find out, and that 10
enough for you.
And then there is that equally dis
agreeable person who actually seems
to be tank of facts. He has more in
formation than anything else and de-
lights in asking you most extraordinary
questions. When you confess your ig-
norance, he will look upon you with
pity and exclaim, what, don't you
know" and then tell you when you
don't want to know at all. For exam
pie, he is much surprised because you
don't know how long the Amazon river
is. He permits you-nay, he insists
that you should guess, only that he
may the better humiliate you. His
brain is so incumbtred with facts that
1t is almost useless. Life Is too short
for man to try to constitute himself
