He tried a number OF remedies but re
ceived no benefit. At last Doan's
Kidney Pills were brought to his at

helped him from the first, he continu-

PREPARING RAW OPIUM.


PODDy ana Nsale lntD bnIIs.
The preparation of raw" opium in
north India is carried ont as follows:
In February, as rule, the Juice IL
gathered, the poppy plant being then 'a
full flower and of height of three or
four feet, each stem having from two
to Ave capsules of the size of a ducks
egg. Before the capsules are pierced
the fallen petals Of tbe flowers are
carefully gathered and sorted accord
ing to condition in three grades and
then are heated over slow fire and
formed into thin cakes, to be used
for the covering of the drug when col
lected. The piercing of the pods re-
quires great skill, and upon it largely
depends the yield. The opium farmer
and his assistants each carry small
lance-lke tool, which has three or
four short, sharp prongs, and with
this a half dozen perpendicular cuts
are made IN each capsule or seed pod
of the poppy. The juice begins to flow
at once, but quickly congeals. The
day after the thickened juice is care
fully gathered, being scrapcd off with
n small iron trowel, and the mass thus
gathered Is put into an earthen vessel
and kept carefully stirred for n month
or more, great care being taken to
have 1t well aired, but not exposed
to the sun. The material is now eS-
amined by expert testers, who deter
mine It's grade or quality, and then
the whole is put into n large box,
where it is worked very much in the
same fashion as bakers dough to give
1t the required consistency. The
opium is now made into balls for eX-
port; the natives wade about in the
large watts containing the paste-like
drug ana hand it out to hundreds of
ballmakers sitting around the room.
Every man has a spherical brass cup
lined with the poppy flower petals be-
fore him. Into this Is pressed the reg
ulation quantity of opium. From
this brass cup, when properly pressed,
the opium ball is transferred to an
other man, who gives 1t coating of
clay. This gives the drug, when ready
for shipment, the appearance of fair
sized cannon ball. When well pre-
pared in this manner, opium viii keep
its properties for fifteen years or
more. Before 1t can be used the
opium balls have to be broken up and
further treated.-Tropical Agrlcultur

The presence of a personal sovereign
is the outward and visible sign that
caste is still supreme in the British en-
pire The external abuses of the feudal
system have been abolished in Great
Britain, one by one until those that
still linger are almost harmless, but
the inner spirit survives to this late
day, and even now its manifestations
are abundant in almost every part of
the social structure of the British Isles,
There is still alive the fiction that the
king rules and that the army of the
empire Is his majesty's army. There Is
still willing acceptance of the titled
arlstocracy and also of an upper house,
the vast majority of whose members
sit there by the right of birth only,
without regard to their individual
merits.
No doubt the British people could
change these things speedily and with
out violence if they really desired to
get rid of this Inheritance from feudal.

and this Is evidence enough that they
do not wish to do so.
The British see, no reason to abolish

people look at with amazed wonder as
a survival of the dark ages, A native
American finds it wholly impossible to
understand the mental attitude of q

justified his ngralned toryism by the

THE WILD CARROT.
One of the Most Interesting of o
Native Plants

One of the Most Interesting of Our
Native Plants.
A weed has been defined as "a plant
that persists in growing where it is not
desired" Surely the wild carrot Is q
most weedy weed from the point OF
view of that definition and of the dis
like Of the farmer. AS to the per-
sistence, our veteran farmer-naturalist
John Burroughs tells us: "Cut off the
head of the wild carrot, and in week
there are five heads in room of the
one. Cut off these, and by fall there
are ten looking defiance at you from
the same root"
The only fault of the wild carrot,
as of other so called weeds, Is too great
success in life. 1t is guilty only Of
persistence. But from a nature lovers
point of view there are, strictly speak
ing, no weeds. No plant is disliked.
On the contrary, the more plant is
able to strive successfully for life the
more of interest it Is. We can also
the "weedy" dislike.
If in this spirit observers will eX-
anime the wild carrot the verdict will
be that 1t Is one of the prettiest and
most interesting of our native plants.
The beauty is especially noticeable In
the full bloom, or Queen Annes lace
form. Perhaps some may regard the
birds nest form as the most interest

With all our high wages and boasted

poor, yet all seem to be we'll fed, cloth

invariably clean. Theirs are no paupers

THE WAlLING WOMAN.
Queer Old Legend of the City OF
Mexico.

y suSer Ola Legend the City OF
Mexico.
As is generally known, senor, many
bad things are met with at night in
the streets of the city, but this wailing
woman, La Llorona, is the very worst
OF them all. She is worse by far than
the Vaca de Lumbre, that at midnight
comes forth from the potrero of San
Sebastian and goes galloping through
the streets like n blazing whlrlwlnd,
breathing forth from her nostrls smoke
and flames, because the fiery COW, Sc
nor, while dangerous animal to look
at, really does nobody any harm, and
La Llorona is as harmful as she
can be.
Seeing her walking along quietly
at the times when she Is not running
and shrieking for her lost children
she seems a respectable person, only
odd looking because of her white skirt
and the white reboso with which her
head is covered and anybody might
speak to her But whoever does speak
to her in that very same moment dies!
No one who has stopped her to talk
with her ever. has lived to tell what
happens at that terrible encounter, but
It Is generally known that what does
happen is this: Slowly she turns to-
ward the one who has spoken, and
slowly she opens the folds of her white
rebosO. and then is seen Il bare grin
ming skull set fast to a bare skeleton,
and from her fleshleSs jaws comes one
single icy cold breath that freezes into
instant death whoever feels 1t. After
that, shrieklng again for her lost chill
dren, she rushes onward, the white
CLEAN of her gashing the darkness, and
In the morning the one who spoke to
her is found lying dead there with a
look OF despairlng horror frozen fast
in his dead eyes.
What is most wonderful Is that she
Is seen in the same hour by different
people in places widely apart, one see
ing her hurrying across the atrium of
the cathedral another beside the ARGOS
de San Cosme and q third near the
Salto del Augua, over b. the prison of
Belen, and all in the very same mo-
ment of time.
She is SO generally known, senor, and
so greatly feared that nowadays few
people stop her to speak with her, and
that is fortunate. But her loud, keen
wailings and the sound Of her running
feet are heard often and especially on
nights of storm. myself have heard
them, senor, but have never seen her.
