Cheering Him Up.

IT'S not everybody I'd put to sleep
in this ROOM" said the motherly old
landlady to her ledger, who had come
to that remote district on account of
a serious nervous breakdown.
"This room is full of tender asso-
Citations to me. My first husband died
in that bed, with his head on that very
pillow. My dear father passed away
on that sofa under the window. He
was a spiritualist, and he vowed he
would appear in this room again after
death, though I've never seen any
thing of him yet. My poor nephew
William fell dead with heart disease
right where you are standing. He was
studying to be a doctor, and there
are two whole skeletons and six alb
normal livers preserved in spirits in
that press yonder, while that bottom
drawer is full of odd bones and skulls.
He used to do a lot of ~vivisecting up
here when he was alive.

Birds and Man.

In Utah they have erected a O n
ment to the sea gulls hat ate the
grasshoppers in 1848 when the crops
were threatened with destruction by
these pests.
But the birds, if they could talk to
man, would not ask that shafts of
stone be raised to their good works.
They would ask only that their nests
and their young be not destroyed. and
that, instead of being killed, they be
left free to do their part against the
many enemies that beset the farmers
crops.

FASCINATION OF THE POPPY
Has Effect on Bees and Animals the
Same as 1t Has on the
Human Race.

The direful effects of opium upon
animals and the fearful temptation it
is to some of them are set forth in a
recent number of the French Gazette
des Hopitaux, which quotes some
strange evidences gathered by Francis
GARNER in China in 1873.
The culture of the poppy" writes
GARNER, has caused a most important
article-wax-to disappear from the
market Of Yunnan. According to the
natives, the bees, formerly very nu-
merous in this part of China, have
experienced for the poppy flower the
same morbid liking that the Chinese
feel for the juice that is drawn from
its fruit. In the season wheE the
poppy fields are in bloom these insects
come in crowds to ransack them, but
they are unable afterward to regain
their taste for other food, and they
perish after two successive seasons.
Another example of this singular
attraction that the poppy exerts upon
animals as well as upon men was
called to our attention. In an opium
refinery in the city it was noticed that
the rats came every evening in great
numbers to snuff the fumes that arose
