Crude Opium.
1t is probable that few owners Of
flower beds are aware that the pop
pies they cultivate purely for ornament
will, If treated correctly, produce opi-
um. When the flower petals have fall
en-, leaving the seed capsule bare, there
will exude, If an incision is made in
that body, sticky juice. This Juice
is opium. 1t varies In certain chemical
qualities according to the country
wherein it is cultivated and the vari'
ETY. of plant wherefrom it is produced.
Although the poppy will grow in al
most any climate, 1t is in the east 1t
is most successfully cultivated. When
the land has been plowed and harrow
ed the poppy seed Is sown, about six
pounds Of seed being sufficient for
one-third of an acre. Just as soon as
1t begins to germinate, about week
after sowing In certain localities, the
land is divided by furrows into rec
tangular beds about eight feet in length
by four in breadth. These channels
are employed for irrigation, as the
plants need frequent watering, some
times even until the time of maturity.

APPEALED TO HOTEL CLERK
Fair Guest Applied for Object Not Us.
uaIIy Supplied by Hosteiries,.
but She Got It.

To be successful hotel clerk you
must have an even temper. There ia
no man under the sun who has so
much to try his temper as a hotel
clerk. The night clerk of a certain
Baltimore hotel is young man with
the most polished manners. He is
especially polite to the ladies, but a
few evenings ago he nearly lost his
equilibrium when a pretty guest asked
him to loan her an alarm clock.
II must get up very early tomorrow
morning." said the fair guest; cant
you loan me an alarm clock-one
that can depend on?"
II will have you called at any hour
you wish," replied the clerk. "
"That won't do. You might forget
1t. and besides, I have no watch, and
If wake up during the night I like
to know the time" =
The clerk suggested that there was
a telephone in the room, but that
would not do, so he called the house
keeper, who loaned the fair guest an
alarm clock. *.- --.5

Not Really Naval Stores.

The terming of turpentine, tar,
pitch and rosin as naval stores is a
mfsnomer. It originated many years
ago, when tar and pitch first were
used to coat the bottoms Of vessels to
make them watertight and to cover
the rigging of ships to preserve it
from the action Of the weather. All
ships carried always supply Of tar
among their stores, and hence. the
original of the term naval stores" It
was used only by ship builders and
ship owners and others who had to do
directly with shipping, and was nau.
tical term only. Then, when the prod
ucts Of the gum of the long-leaf pine
came into general commercial impor-
lance, the term was accepted as fit
ting one for all articles of commerce
manufactured from that substance.
and is maintained to this day, al
though the uses that created it have
little to do with the interests Of the
trade.

Demaree is the leading pitcher of
the Southern League. He is no raw
youngster, but this is the best season
he has ever had. He has been roam
ing around in the minors about five
years, and once had a. brief trial with
the Yankees. No Southern League
pitcher has held the enemy to as few
runs and hits as Demaree. He has
eight or ten shutouts to his credit,
and it is largely through his efforts
that Mobile is in second place.
Demaree was one Of the pitchers
who shut out the Giants for thirteen
innings in Mobile last spring when the
champions played a scoreless tie with
the Sea Gulls. He is a Highlander
with ability to mix 'em up," and
knows how to work batsmen. His
speed is not remarkable, and he Is not
big chap.
