How ths Pstala and Jules of ths Peppy Plant Ara Procured. Opium growing Is a aort of garden culllvmi u, the poppy plaota belDg grown In little atpiarea or beda Inter sec ted by tlnj water cbannela (or Irri gation wherever this la possible. Tbe growth of tbe plants la carefully tend ed. und at length tbe time comes when the j burst out Into flower, and tbe fields look like a sheet of sllTer aa the white petals of tbe flowers glisten In the morning dew. These beautiful petals are tbe first produce of tbe crop, for tbe women and children of tbe cultivators' fami lies come forth aud pick them off one by one and carefully dry them, so that they may serve afterward aa the cov ering of tbe manufactured cakea of opium. Then tbe popples, with their bare capsule beads, remain standing In the open field uutll It la considered that tbey are ripe for lancing. Tbe cultivators then come forth In tbe evening, aud with an implement not unlike the knlvea of a cupping lnstru ment they scarify the capsule on Its sides with deep Incisions, so that tbe Juice may eiude. In tbe early tnorulng tbe cultivators reappear with a scraping knife and their earthenware pots, and tbey acrape off the exuded Juice aud collect It Iu their pots. And this la crude opium.

He stood on one foot In tbe drug atore and talked In bis natural voice, which made tbe bot ties Jingle on tbe shelves. Tbe ou merous people In tbe store beard all he aaid as a natural consequence, but could not bear tbe conversation at tbe other end. They deduced, however. from tbe negro's remarks that be was talking with his bona and that be waa a teamster by profession. "Yessub." he said, "I tried daf "Yessub.

In early Bible daya richly embroid ered raiment was enumerated with tbe gold, silver and other valuable property of a rich man. In that primi tive age Dame Fnsbion was not tbe fickle goddess she Is at present, and tbe "raiment" ao frequently mention ed in tbe Holy Scriptures descended from father to son aa a valuable part of tbe Inheritance. Italment waa of ten sent, with gold aud gems, as a present to dignitaries. It took not mouths, but years, to ornament some of these garments, and the gold thread ao lavishly used In embroidering them was real gold. Moses describes tbe process of making tbe gold thread that waa used in ornamenting tbe taber nacle. Tbe habit of making preaents of rare needlework Is still common among eastern nations that changed their customs so slowly. Weeping Troos. The phenomenon of "weeping trees" that Is, of trees shedding drops of liq uid Is ascribed by Dr. Sharp in tbe Cambridge Natural History to tbe in fluence of plant bugs. Tbe familiar frog bopier wblcb produces tbe ao called cuckoo spit on ao many of our planta belongs to this family of In sects. A note In tbe London Field calls attention to some interesting ob servations on this subject made by Dr. Annandale and contributed by blm to the records of tbe Indian museum. Dr. Annandale while collecting in sects in western Bengal felt what he thought was rain from a clear sky through the foliage of the trees. On investigation be found that It fell from the leaves and waa due to a species of plant bug present in enormous num bers. An Impostor. "Mebbe you'd like to put a piece about me in ycr pnir," quavered the old man, hobbling up to tbe city edi tor's desk. "What have you done?" demanded tbe arbiter of publicity's destiny. "Nothln" much, but I was a hundred years old yesterday." "A hundred, eh? But can you walk without a stick and read fine print without glasses?" "N-no." "You are an Impostor!" Tbe old man broke down and con fessed be waa only ninety-seven. Cleveland Leader. His Luck. Tom I wish that I had Alfred's good tuck. Dick So be'a generally lucky?
