Opium Smoking In Cbin,

1t Is generally understood that a
large percentage of the Chinese arc
addicted to the use of opium. This is
mlscOnceptiOn. The belief that the
Chlnese OF rank and culture use the
drug is due to the prominence given
10 the cultivation of the plant and the
manufacture of opium in the Celestial
empire. As matter of fact. a native
who uses opium is looked upon by his
superiors as we discuss and classify
our drunksrds.
The idea that pill will produce an
exhilarating effect on the beginner is
also erroneous. One must be accus-
TONED to the use of the drug to get
the pleasant effect. The first pine TO
an American produces nausea. Two
or three will make him sick. If he can

The Cunning of Ants.

A naturalist found black ants were
devOuring the skins of some bird speci-

cles on four pieces of paper and put
one under each leg of the table Ants

found the ants busiIy at work again
and, looking at the tar circles, found
each one was bridged by bits of sand
which the clever ants had brought in

The Blue Lakes.

About twelve miles northwest from
the town of Upper Lake, Cal, is a
series of waters known as Blue lakes
three in surrounded by spurs Of
the coast range that tower 1000 feet
over them. These lakes are steel blue
in color and never freeze. The upper
lake is nearly two miles in length and
half mile in width in the widest
place, the middle lake is about half
a mile long and half that distance in
width, and the lower one is less than
half the size of the nearest neighbor.
The upper lake is nearly 500 feet deep
in places, and all Of them abound in

STREET CLEANING
Turned Over to the Chill
dren.

Several towns in this state have or.
ganized Improvement associations for
the purpose of cleaning the streets
alleys and parks of the town. This
is a comparatively new plan to keep
the streets clean, but from the reports
of the places where it has been used
it must be very good one. Last
Monday all the school children, OF
Tallmage, town just north of Akron,
came to the city hall with rakes,
shovels, baskets and wheel barrows,
and under the direction of several su.
perintendents cleaned up the public
park and all the main streets. In
GAINESVILLE three days have been set
apart as cleaning up days, wnen the
school children and all other people
are asked to clean up their street cor
ners and the streets and alleys in the
vicinity of their homes. The board of
public service has promised to have
wagons make tour of the city and
cart away all the dirt except tin cans
and ashes that the citizens have gath
cred
1t has been suggested since Canton
has been unable to solve the street
cleaning problem, to take up this plan
and invite all the citizens to turn out
and help clean up the highways.
