yesterday.
In the meantime Horatio Schander,
a brother of Adolph Schander, brought
the contest which was recently tried

IN IRELAND.

Ireland enjoys the distinction of
possessing more centenarians than
England, France and Germany COM
bined. She had 1877 at the last cen
sus, whereas France had only 243,
England 146 and Germany 70.
Spain takes second place in this re-
spect, having 401 centenarians. As
both Spain and Ireland have the
reputation of being very easy-going
countries, one must conclude that
the "way to live a hundred years is
avoid haste in all things and lead
as quiet a life as possible. Scot
lands centenarians numbered 46 in
1901. Matthew Fowlds, of Farwick.

hundredth anniversary of his birth

him is that he is still a skillful hand

popPlEs GROWN FOR OPIUM.
Once Flourishing Industry in England
Is Declining.

Peoples are grown for distillation
into laudanum and opium in Lin
colnshire, England. The industry,
however, owing to the great risks
and low prices, is declining and this
year not more than 20 acres Of pop
pies have been grown. If the wealth
err should chance to be wet when the
heads are ripe, the crop is ruined
and becomes ~valueless. 1t Is the
husk Of the poppy and not the seeds
that yields the drugs. When gath
cred the ripened heads are carried to
a drying shed, spread thinly on the
floor, and frequently turned over
with a brush, which imparts the
brightness of polish to the heads.
On an acre of ground a good crop
Yields from 10000 to 10000 poppy
heads, and at one time farmers made
three dollars per 1000 heads, but
prices are not so good as that now.
The plant makes so heavy a drain
upon the fertility Of the soil that it
cannot be grown oftener than once
in six years upon the same land.
When thoroughly dry, the heads
are so light that a large sack wher
filled will only weigh about "a
