take him across the harbor to his

was attracted to the little fellow by
the fact that he continually asked his
companions: when are you going

query struck Mr.. Phillips as singular.

PoPPIEs GROWN FOR OPIUM.

Poppies are grown for distillatior
into laudanum and opium in Lincoln
shire, England. The industry, how
ever, owing to the great risks and
low prices, is declining and this year
not more than twenty acres of pop
pies have been grown. If the weather
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 gathered the
ripened heads are carried to dry
ing shed, spread thinly on the floor.
and frequently turned over with
brush, which imparts the brightness
of polish to the heads.
On an acre of ground good crop
yields from 10000 to 10000 poppy
heads, and at one time farmers made
SO per 1000 heads, but prices are not
so good as that now. The plant
makes so heavy drain upon the fer
tility 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 large sack when
filed will only weigh about twenty
four pounds. Seed is sown in the
autumn and spring in rows, and when
the plants come up they are Sin
gled' in the same way as turnips.
They come into flower early in July,
and are harvested a month later

JOURNEY OF A TREE ROOT.
Eucalyptus Sends Shoots Up Over a
Wall to Sewer.

Eucalyptus ScuoS 0HOOtS Up ONSi q
Wall to Sewer.
From Santa Barbara Cal, there
comes a story of a most interesting
freak of vegetable life which is strict.
ly vouched for.
Through a certain garden there ran,
some years ago, a sewer made of red.
wood timber. This sewer was again
cased by an outside sewer Across
the sewer there was built a brick wall
many feet high, and in such way
that it was pierced by the inner
sewer, which it inclosed tightly, while
the outer sewer ended abruptly
against the wall.
The outside sewer casing had in
course of time decayed and a eucalyp
tus tree, standing some go feet away,
had taken advantage of this and sent
one of it's roots to the coveted spot
in as direct line as possible.
Here the root entered the outside
sewer and followed its course as far
as it could At last it came to the
wall, which shut off its course, and
IT COulQ 20 uO udntAtCi, IuO th5A9C SOU
er being perfectly tight.
But ON the other side of the wall
the sewer and it's double casing con-
tinued, and this eucalyptus tree evil
IDENTIFY knew how to get there.
Some three feet high in the brick
wall there was a little hole an inch
or two in diameter, and this Aae euca
yptus tree was aware of, as its big
root began to climb the dry wall and
face the sun and wind until 1t found
the hole, through which it descended
on the other side and entered the
sewer again and followed it along as
formerly
How did the tree know OF the hole
in the wall? How did it know that
the sewer was on the other side?
How could it direct the root to go
and find the place with such preci-
sion? The roots of any plant grow
always and unerringly in the dtrec-
ton of it's food, just as the eucalyptus
tree did.

You're blue Lad: -
Have things gone wrong2
Luck bad?
Then wake a song
no difference it makes
If your lips are pinched and wan,
It's the spirit of the song, the bravery
it takes
And the sad old, gay old world rolls
on.
You're here, Lad
You cannot trade
Life sad
For one Joy made: 49,
So gracefully step Vi
When your fortunes from you gone,
Grasp the sweetly bitter draught, and
smilingly thea sup
For the sad old, say old world rolls
Be sure Lad
The world is right
Lives glad
Are won by fight.
