considers that the grade females SELL at from weaving

a combination of white and one color

appropriate in needlework decorations

not the only one which is troubled by
the problem of promotion in relation
TO age: for we are informed that the
French officers are older than in any
other navy. Vice-admirals being, OF
an average, appointed at the age OF
sixty-one, as against fifty-two in Eng

the French captains and commanders

officers. Under the new schemes, the
age limits are to be brought down ap-
proximately to what they are In Eng

EnIarging Picking Library.

The ministry Of education is con-
templating the enlargement of the Pc
king library by adding to it from time
to time all the newly published books
in order that the progress of society
and of the commonwealth of letters
may be substantially recorded.
According to the publication laws of
foreign countries, it is required that
specimen copy of every new publica-
ton which is to be registered has to
be presented to the national library.
AS this procedure was adopted by
Japan after the establishment of the
imperial library and has produced sat
isfactory results, the ministry of edu-
cation has decided that it should be
followed in this country, says the Ma
tional Review of Shanghai, and con-
sequently has memorialized the presi.
dent requesting that the ministry of
the interior be instructed to order all
publishers and authors who wish to
register they publications in accord
ance with Che publication law to pre-
sent Peking library with compliment

WOULD BAR DRUG
CHEMIST TELLS OF DEADLY EFF.
EEcTS OF PEYoTE.,
pemoraIizing TO Ute indian Tribe, 10
the Charge Made-Realiy Is Some
thing New in the Way
of Narcotics.

Discovery that the roots and BIOS
SONS of a plant known as. peyote,
chewed by the Indians of the Uinta
basin, contain properties like unto
opium, and which are deadly in their
effect, has been made by Herman
Harms. Utah state chemist, according
to Salt Lake City correspondent of
the Philadelphia Record. So seriously
does Mr.. Harms regard the menace
of the weed that he recommends that
the next legislature take proper steps
to include the plant in the list of pro-
hibited narcotics.
Peyote constitutes the dried roots
and dried blossoms of a small cactus
plant that grows in the southwestern
section of the United States. Some of
1t grows in Utah, notably the Uinta
basin. Ute Indians, many of them, are
habitual users OF peyote and some in
clude it in certain forms of their re-
ligious ceremonies.
AT the present time" Chemist
Harms says in his report to the gov
ernor of Utah., the Ute Indians hold
their 'peyote service every Saturday
night until Sunday morning at Rand
lette, Utah. and from all accounts this
evil habit is growing at rapid rate
with decidedly demoralizing effects on
these people," $685., .f
The growth of the use of peyote
among the Indians and the subsequent
effect upon them attracted the atten-
ton of some of the white residents
of the .Uinta BASIN including Senator
Don B. Cotton He called the atten-
ton of Governor Spry to the matter.
and the governor ordered an immedi-
ate and thorough investigation.
Peyote is something new in the way
Of narcotics, as Mr. Harms found out
during the investigation. Here ia
cactus plant, common enough in the
western states, that contains juices
as powerful as opium or morphine.
Mr.. Harms consulted the leading med
ical and pharmaceutical books, but
none of them contained even a men,
ton of peyote. He also wrote to the
| Thomas Nelson research and infor-
nation bureau of New York for infor-
nation about it, but received no reply.
Mr.. Harms then set about an eXhaus-
tive investigation of his own with the
samples he had received from the
Uinta country.
Both the roots and blossoms of the
peyote plant are chewed by the In
dams after the manner in which Pc
ruvians derive the effects of cocaine
from chewing coca leaves. The bios
SONS are more delectable in the eyes
of the victims of the habit than tho
roots.
AT first peyote causes as great state
of mental exhilaration and excitement.
Then it deadens the senses, produces
abnormal dreams, is demoralizing, and
finally this peyote causes the Indians
to remain drunk or in a stupor for
two or three days.
Peyote was first introduced under
the form Of a religious ceremony and
during the singing and dancing 1t was
passed around until the Indians were
drunk with 1t. 1t contains, among
| other constituents, an alkaloidal prin-
ciple, to which, no doubt, is due the
powerful narcotic action upon the hui
man system. It's indiscriminate use
produces demoralizing, harmful and
depraved condition.

while the last one of the naughty Dele

too. the Delevans, father and mother,
had determined to wed their daughter
to a young sprig of society and for

And all this when Tessie loved him
and had said so and they were pledged
to one another. Mrs. Delevan had sent
back the engagement ring to Guy with
a curt, decisive note. Mr.. Delevan
had closed his doors against him.
Twice the lovers managed to meet
clandestinely, several letters passed
between them. Then the maid who
had carried the tender missives was
replaced by stern, faded old maid OF
a tyro. Tessie was not allowed to
leave the place without this vigilant
chaperon.
Guy heard that arrangements for
her marriage to Grimm were going on.
They were forcing their poor. gentle
girl to wreck her happy life for man
