THE CULTURE OF OPIUM.
The

tlatherlug the l'oppy'a Julo.
It is prohaMo that very few owners of
flower-pardons ro aware that th pop
pies cultivated merely for ornament will
produce opium. AVhen tlio flower im-
tals Imve fallen, leaving the si capnul
hare, if an incision bo made in that body,
a sticky juice will exude. This juico ia
opium. It varies in certain chemical
qualities, according to the country in
which it is cultivated, and tha variety of
plant from which it in prtnlucod.
Although the plant will grow in almost
any climate, it Ls in India that it is most
satisfactorily cultivated, the opium rev
enue of that country being derived from
two sources, those of Malwa and those
of lkngal. The Malwa opium is pro
duced in the native states of the interior,
and is not controlled by the Uritish gov
ernment, except by a tax. Bengal opium,
on the contrary, is under the direct super
iatendenee of English ollicials.
When the land has been plowed and
LaiTowed, the poppy seed is sown at th
rid of October, or the beginning of No
venuVr. Six iounds of seed are suffi
cient for the third of an acre.
As soon as it begins to germinate, as it
does in a week after sowing, tho and is
divided by furrows into rectangular beds,
about eight feet in length by four in
breadth. These channels are used for
irrigation, as the plants need frequent
watering, sometimes requiring it until
tne crop is matured. Alout seventy-fiv
days after germination, the flower ap
pears, and its four petals are gently re
moved, on the third day after their ex
pansion, to be pasted together with tha
leaves destined to form the outer shell
of the opium cake.
In the cours of eight or ten days, the
capsules are lanced at night, and the
iuicewhic,1,,asexut,odfromthe
incisions
Vi scrajed olT in tho morning, with a
mall scoop, and transferred to a metal
or earthen vessel. This process is thre
or four times repeated, at intervals of
two or three days, and the result is
crude opium. The flower petals and the
plant-leaves and stalks have also a con
Biderable value for packing purposes.
and the thicker portions of the stalks are
used by the peasants for fire-wood. The
crude opium, having been gathered, is
tored by the cultivator, and watched,
that it may remain free from mould or
taint.
At the end of March, or the becinninir
of April, wlien the weather is furiously
hot in Bengal, the cultivators, carrying
iheir OIium' ohey a summons calling
them to meet the deputy acrent of their
village. There the opium is tested, paid
for, and taken into the possession of th
government.
Finally the opium paste ia made into
cakes, dried, packed in boxes, and re
moved to Calcutta, for sale by auction.

A Story Told II. W. needier.
The other day in 18771 I came throno-H
Loudonville, O., and I was forciblr remind
ed of my stay there when on my first trip
ou t west We stopped late at night and tpant
Sunday there. There were two coach loads
of us, and the little two story brick tavern
was nearly full when we arrived. The bent
thoy could do for my brother Charles and
myself was to give us a couDle of "shAke-
downs" in tho dining room. We slept late
fcunday morning:, hut finally waking up com-
mencea to taut, l said: "Charles, I'll bet you
I can tell what they had at this hotel for din
ner yesterday." "What was it?'' he asked.
"Roast beef," I replied, basing my judgment
on a stale sort of odor that pervaded the
room. "No, you're mistaken," said he, eb&k
Inj his head and sniffing at the covering of
his bed; "it was mutton." We both stoutly
maintained our respective propositions, and,
falling to a vigorous smelling of our bed
clothes, found the landlord had given us a
couple of table cloths for bedspreads, and
Chaii had got the mutton cloth and I tha
beef. New York Tribune.

"It's wonderful what a man can buy cex
the street nowadaj-s," said a bachelor re
cently. "You can get everything from a
chroiuo to a cooked meal, but the most
unique bargain that I saw offered, and ouo
which appealed to my finest feelings, was a
whole pint of odd and old buttons for five
cents. I mado an investment right there
and then, and I wasn't the only oue either.
A lesson can bo found in the incident also,
-wid it is that a man can pull through a
tight place at times if he only exercises a
little original thought. Tha fakir's stock In
trade probably didn't cost him more than a
fow pennies, and he was doing a big busi
ness whilo it lasted.' Philadelphia Call.
