SPIRIT AND DRUG TAKERS.

Physical and Psychic Changes That
Grow With the Habit.
Two marked changes are noted in all
spirit and drug takers. One Of them is
physical and is noted by changes in the
face, eyes, tone Of voice, manner OF
walking and general expression and
control. The heart is irritable and de-
ranged in it's acton. There are muscu-
lar feebleness, nutrient disturbances,
with insomnia, and unusual emotional
excitement or depression. The general
health, conduct and appearance, as
we'll as capacity, OF the person are
changed.
= second change Of symptoms noted
is the psychic one. The person is bold,
assertive. egotistical or the opposite.
His former manner Of hopefulness or
depression is altered. Where he was
frank before, he is now secretive, un-
truthful. unreasoning, has little respect
for his words and statements, incurs
obligations, asserts or denies emphat-
ically matters Of no consequence. His
general appearance and pride OF char
acter are lowered.
These symptoms may be unnotced IN
the early stages. but later they are
prominent. Both the physical and
psychic are intimately associated with
each other, yet from the very begin
ming there may be marked differences
in the prominence and intensity OF
either one or the other. indicating the
direction of the most active degenera-
tion.-Dr. r. D. Crothers In Alien1st
and Neurologist.

Open Winters.

When snow covers tie ground 1t pre-
serves vegetable life without develop
ing it. Snow is three times less power
full as conductor Of heat than rain; it
screens the ground and prevents noe
turnal radiation.
Vegetables, cereals in particular, can
endure q considerable lowering Of tenn
perature If the fall Of snow precedes
the frost. Ground planted to wheat can
pass through period when the tenn
peraturc falls far below zero If the
snow cv1ers 1t we'll. While rain brings
to the ground azote in the form Of am
monia or nitric acid. snow enriches the
soil in much greater proportion. 4 liter
Of rainwater contains much less fer
tilizing material than the same amount
Of hoarfrost or melted snow, and when
the winter has been open or mild,
when there has been rain instead Of
snow. the farmer is forced to spend
more money for fertilizers than when
the winter has given the earth snow in
abundance--Harper's.

A DREAM AND A CRIME

The Story of Slumber Vision That
Comes From Cicero.
Cicero furnishes US with tale OF
two Arcadians, who. travelling togetn-
er, arrived at Niagara. city Of Greece,
between Athens and Corinth. where
one of them lodged in a friends house
and the other at an inn.
After supper the person who lodged
at the private house went to bed and,
falling asleep. dreamed that his friend
at the inn appeared to him and beg
ged his assistance. because the Inn
keeper was going to kill him.
The man Immediately got out OF bed,
much frightened at the dream; but. re-
covering himself and falling asleep
again. his friend appeared to him a
second time and desired that, as ne
would not assist him in time. he Woulo
at least care not to let his death go un-
punished-that the innkeeper, having
murdered him. had thrown bis BODY ID
q cart and covered it with rubbish.
He therefore begged that he would be
at the city gate in the morning before
the cart was out.
Struck with this new dream. he went
early to the gate. saw the cart anu
asked the driver what was In it the
driver Immediately fed. The dcao
BODY was taken out Of the cart ano
the innkeeper apprehended and exc
cuted.

BARNUM AND JENNY LIND.
How the Great Snowman Secured tho
MSw.dish NiahtinaaIe."

How the Great Snowman Secured the
"Sw=dish Nightingale"
The site Of Iranistan, with It's Moor
ish towers and minarets, was engraved
upon the letterheads Of P. T. Barnum
and was the one thing which attracted
Jenny Lind when he wrote seeking to
engage her for an American tour. In
fact, she confessed that it was this pic
ture that determined her coming to
America.
Jenny Lind contracted to come to
America in 1S49, the Swedish Night
ingale" cgreeing to sing at $50 concerts
for $25, 100, all travelling expenses paid.
After she arrived in America Jenny
Lind asked Mr. Barnum when and
where he had heard her sing, and upon
receiving the answer that he had never
had the pleasure of seeing her before
in his life, she asked, How did you
risk so much money on person whom
you never heard sing?"
81 risked it." gallantly answered Mr.
Barnum, ION your angelic character
and reputation, feeling that you would
please the American public"
Then began campaign Of advertis-
ing to prepare the people for the ap-
pearance of Jenny Lind. Two hundred
dollars was offered as prize for an
ode entitled "a Greeting to America" :"
to be sung by Jenny Lind, and the
award was won by Bayard Taylor. No
singer who has ever appeared in the
country has secured more enthusiastic
welcome than Jenny Lind, all because
Of the genius of P. T. Barnum.-Joe
Mitchell Chapple in National Maga-
zine.

Inns In Hungary.

Wayside inns in Hungary generally
rejoice in very quaint titles. This one
was called the Dropperin and had the
usual sign outside-viz. long pole
with wooden ring and a gigantic
wine bottle suspended from it. The
system Of keeping the scores is primi-
tive. but practical. The regular GUS
toners and the innkeeper have each
bit of wood called rovas. with the
name of the person written on it. and
every liter Of wine consumed is mark
ed by each making notch on his re-
spective bit of wood. When the score
IS paid off both the royas are burned.
Consequently you hear the peasants In
yiting each other to ingyonro7iasmora,
literally drink on my ''knotch STICK.
which sounds most comical.-"Wander-
ings In Hungary"

Dreams,

Dreams are excursions into the limbo
of things, Il senideliyerance from hu-
man prison. The man who dreams is
but the locale Of various phenomena OF
which he is the spectator In spite OF
himself. He is passive and impersonal;
he is the Dlaything of unknown vibra-
tions and invisible sprites.
The man who should never issue
from the stage Of dream would have
never attained humanity, properly so
called, but the man who had never
dreamed would only know the mind In
its completed CT manufactured state
and would not be able to understand
the genesis Of personality. BE would
be like a crystal incapable Of guessing
what crystallizaton means.-New Or
leans States.

Bio Trees of Oreqor1.

sIn the forest reserve between the
headwaters Of the west fork Of Hood
river and the Bull Run lake are some
larger trees, bigger than any I have
ever seen anywhere else IN the north
west" says George T. Prather, pio-
neer Of the Hood river valley
1.-THE trees are said to be several hun
dred feet high and to stand on the fat
of a hidden canyon. Steep bluffs on
either hand shut in the gorge in which
they rear themselves, and this reason
Is given for failure Of those who fish
In the Lost lake district to have found
the trees. There are two species Of the
great trees.
Zone has a yellowish and not very
rough bark and is straight and as
round as q candle It has no limbs to
a great height and has beautiful
crown. The second species IS CEDAR

q Accommodating,

The most accommodating people in
the world are tailors. You'll have to
hand it to them. They're always will
ing to help YOU out all they can. We
are reminded Of this undoubted truth
by the experience Of friend of ours
last Wednesday. He got measured for
a new suit. When the ceremony was
over he smiled and said In his winning
way: I'll be frank with you. I can't
pay for this suit until the latter part
Of next month. Will that make any
difference?'
"Not the slightest difference. You're
an old customer. and you shouldn't
mention such things"
"That's mighty nice Of you. When
will the suit be readyI"
s'The latter part Of next month. -

Pliny's Yarns.

Pliny's yarns about human anatomy
were something wonderful. He tells
Of a race Of savage men whose feet
are turned backward and Of race
known as Monocoli, who have only
one les. but are able to leap with sur
prising agility. The same people are
also called the Sciapodae, because they
are in the habit Of lying on tteir
backs during the extreme heat and
protecting themselves from the sun by
the shade Of their feet. These people
dwell not far from the Troglodytae, to
the west Of whom again there are q
tribe who are without necks and have
their eyes in their shoulders.
