THE
'
CHINESE OPIUM
FIENDS.
The Iaunraae Quantity of the Drug Oon-
•uuied in New York.
It was for the purpose of giving an
accurate and interesting account of
how 9,000Chinamen spend $468 349.75
annually just for tho pleasure of
“hitting the pipe," that tho Chinese
reporter of the World mado a thor
ough canvass of tho various haunts of
Chinatown.
There are at present about twenty-
five Chinese firms that deal in refined
opium, both wholesale and retail.
There aro eleven private Chinese
Joints, whore opium is sold at $2 25
per ounce. These joints do not now
admit white smokers, on account of
the frequent raids mado upon thorn by
the police, but the storos sell to both
Chinese and whites, although tho lat
ter must bo well-known smokers.
Otherwise ho has to suffer for the want
of opium—which, according to all ac
counts, is even worse than to see

would act as if he owned a small-sized

tho worst of all tho ailments is an ex
cruciating pain all over his back-bone,
as if ho had boon just run through a
fine clothes-wringer. Under such cir
cumstances ho would almost be will
ing to give half of his on tiro kingdom
to be able to “hit tho pipe.”
Six pills or pipes, about the size of
a green pea, would restore him to his
natural condition of lifo. which would
last him for about as many hours. A
regular “fiend” will consume about an
ounco per day, which Is $2.25.
Tho sonsation whilo smoking Is, in
deed, soothing. No matter how fa
tigued or oppressed in mind, a few
whiffs of tho pipo would put a man in
the best of social spirits. It has strange
medicinal properties, and is said to
cure all kinds of fevers and ague, con
sumption and palpitation of tho henrt
MostChinamon arodriven to it through
business reverses and other troubles,
while not a few contracted tho habit
through sociability. Just as an Amer
ican would do on their “take a drink”
with a friend.
It takes just about the samo length
ot time to got the opium habit as to
get tho drinking habit. Tho latter de
stroys tho mind, and makes a man ir
responsible for ills actions, while tho
former dostroys tho body but makos a
keen thinker of tho victim. It is esti
mated that tlioro aro something over
one thousand Americans in the city of
New York who aro now using opium in
tho same manner and form as tho
Chinese. Most of tlioso are said to bo
well-known and fashionable people, as
indeed no other but people of moans
and of leisure could over bo ablo to
contract such a habit
The opium-dealing firms soli from
two to live cans per day, oach can
weighing about four ouncos. Most ot
tho wholesale orders come from towns
and cities in nnd around Now York
Slnto, nnd only now and thon tho
native American customers from up
town come in to buy thoir supply.
Say thoy soil nil ^average of tliroo
cans per day. At wholesale rates,
which is $8 35 per can for China im
ported goods, but when retailed out at
thj 50 cents’ worth at a time it would
bring it up to about $10 to $11 per can.
At $10, which is tho lowost posslblo
prico per can, sixty-six cans amount
to $660 per day, or $240,900 per year.
There aro eleven joints. Tho ma
jority of thoso import thoir own
opium, said to bo direct from China,
but tho groater part of which oomos
front Victoria, 11. C. Ono of thoso
places, which is tho host Chineso joint
in town, sells at rotail on Sundays
alono from ton to twolvo cans, whilo
tlio second best place soils from oight
to ton cans on Sundays. On an aver
age those Joints disposo of ilvo cans a
day. Thoso placos calculate to mako
from $2 to $3 on oach can of Chineso
Imported opium, but thoy aro ablo to
make more when thoy mix tho Vic
toria in with tho pure. Thus it can
easily bo soon how nearly fil.000,000
changes hands for opium por year.
According to Chinese San Francis
co papers thoy paid over $800.000 for
eustom-house duties for tho Chineso
year just endod on opium alone. But
one very curious fact is that a China
man is frequently deceived. When ho
pays for tho roal imported Chinoso
opium ho gots Victoria (K C.)
opium, which is sold in sevoral Chi
neso storos at $5 50 por can, but since
tho rocont custom-houso troll bio it has
gone up to $6. Tho samo articlo can
be had in Canada for $4.25 to $1. 50.
If tho duties are paid upon thoso Vic
toria goods it is jsaid by the smokers
that thoy could not buy it at tho above
rates, but would have to pay $7 a
can for it —I Ain Foo, in AT. Y.

TERRORS OF THE SEA.
HOOSAC TUNNEL.
One of the MoNt Wonderful Triumphs et
American enterprise.
Cyclonic, Volcanic and Other Dungarees
Types of Waves.
Tho Hoosac mountain stretchoi
across tlie westorii part of Massachu
setts, ami forms a natural barrier be
tween that State and New York. How
to make a direct lino of communica
tion between these neighlioring States
was a problLin that it took half a cent
ury to solvo. At tho point chosen for
tlie excavation of the tunnel, the top
of tlie ridge is 2 50'.) feet above the
level of the se:>. and is approached on
the east by the valley of tile Deerfield
river, and oil tlie west by the Hoosac
river, a tributary of tlie Hudson.
Tlieso valleys begin not more than
five miles apart, and thus allow rail
ways to reaoh the tunnel by easy
grades. Asearly as 1825. commission
ers of the Legislature reported in
favor ot tunneling tho Hoosac mount
ain for a canal, lint nothing was done
about it, and in 1811 a railroad going
over tho nioun niu was completed, and
iho tunnel project was abandoned.
Tho building of a tunned, however,
was embraced in the plan of tho Troy
& Greenfield railroad, which was in
corporated in 1818. but no work was
done on it for some years, owing to
tho difficulty of obtaining rsdstance
from th • Slato. In 1854 the State Leg
islature passed an act providing for a
loan of credit to Iho amount of $2.000.-
000 for tlie cons'.rudion of the Hoosac
tunnel, but tlie gift was hampered by
conditio » which inailo it not directly
available by tho company, and thus
tlie work was greatly hindered. Sev
eral contracts were made for the exca
vation of tho tunnel, but all fell
through l>y failure of tho company to
meet payments when due, and the
work was not begun with vigor unlil
1857. It was thon carried on until
July, 1861. up to which time tho Stato
had advauoed nearly $800.000 for tlie
work, but as tlie State officials then
refused to longer cerlify tho bills of
the contractors, work was suspended,
and tlie project was entirely aban
doned by the railroad company. In
1862 the Slate assumod control of the
work, and appointed commissioners
to supervise it; those found serious de
fects in tho tunnel plan and recom
mended Important eliangos.
Work
was begun again in Doconibor, 1863,
but ho slowly did it procoed that
he Hoosnc ‘tunnol bccamo to the peo
ple of Massachusetts a symbol of all
impossible nnd unatlainablo results.
But tho second voritablo epoch in tlie
history of the onterpriso may be said
iodate from 1868, when tho Stalo de
cided, after much discussion, to have
iho work completed immediately.
I'lio contract was then awarded to the
Messrs. Shanly, of Canada, who vigor-
>usly prosecuted the work, day and
light, and on Thanksgiving Day,
N ivembor 27. 1873. tho laborers ad
vancing from both sides met, and
light was admitted through the tun
nel.
It was completed in March,
1874, and trains were running through
it by tlie following September. The
length of the tunnel is 25.031 foot or
f >ur and three-quarter miles. It is 26
foot wide, anil varies in hoiglit from
23 to 26 feet. The grade allowed is
26 foot to tho niilo during tho entire
distance, fr< in each portal to tlio cen
tral shaft, making tho interior suniinii
more than 60 feet higher than the
ends. There is a central shaft in tlie
'r.ni'ol which occasions sufllciont
irauglit to ventilate it quite effectual
ly. Tho entire cost <>f tho tunnel is
oslimatcd at $10 000.0)0. Tlio long

A wave is a thing of beauty, but it is
only a joy to those who watch it march
ing in splendor and foam from the safe
refuge of the shore. It is a very naus
eating condition of voyaging. It makes
the bones of ships creak as if they were
full of rheumatism. It tills the brain
with a sense of chaos, and one moment
swings tho moaning traveler to the
stars and the next plunges him into an
abyss hideous with gloom and the hiss
ing as of millions of snakes. To meas
ure waves in a severe tempest is even
more difficult than to mark effects.
When the woathor rises to such fury as
makes the seas oolossal enough to ren
der the determination of their height
exceedingly important, there is usually
too much anxiety, and oven distraction,
for observation.
The weight of the
wind is so violent that it is almost im
possible to show one's face to iL
For the true Andean sea one must go
down to Cape Horn—perhaps to as far
as sixty degrees south. There are sail
ors who, standing at the wheel of a ship
running before these seas, will never
willingly look behind them, lest the
sight of the oncoming rampant of
green water, arching toward the taff-
rail, should unnerve them. Standing
on a deck twenty feet above the water
line, you yet look up at the crest of
these sens as at the top of a mountain.
The gigantic grace, the huge majesty
of these liquid Titans can not be de
scribed. It is necessary to be hove-to
to appreciate their height, volume and
power; to watch from the low broad
side the swelling approach of the mighty
mass, with its freckled front and foam
less head flickering in bottle green to
the dull light of the gray sky; to feel
the sweep of the ship up the enormous
acclivity, and then, while for the space
of a breath only, she hangs poised
with upright masts and shrieking rig
ging on the headlong brow, to look
down nnd behold tho valley beneath,
into which the vessel an instant after
slides like a comet
It is difficult to write of the seas
which run in heavy weather off the
southern most point of South America
without risk of being charged with ex-
aggera'ion; they must be seen, and a
little spell of custom will render ad
miration easy. It is impossible to be
tossed by them in such vessels as now
mako the passage of tho Horn without
wondering by what miracle of luck or
phenomenal merit of seamanship the
old navigators were enabled to beat
against thorn in their small, half
decked boats, somo no bigger than a
Deal lugger, without a touch of the
weatherly qualities of suoli craft
But let it not be supposed that the
high wave is tho dangerous one. The
regular running surges may all l>o as
tall as the biggest hotel in London with
a ninth fellow among them as high as
the monument, and yet none prove
nearly so dangerous as the pyramidal
seas of the cyclono. Of all forms of
vexed water the cyclonic agitation is
the worst. Here is a whirlwind of as
tonishing fury so many miles in diame
ter. For a little while it runs a steady
sea, but presently its gyrations brings
up a surge from another quarter, then
conies the lull, followed by a frightful
outlly of storm from a direction opposite
to the point from whioh the wind
last blew. The seas, coming into
collision, tight like wolves. They snap
nnd howl, leaping high in conifled
shapes in the very similitudo of sentient
passion. Tho staggering of the ship is
indescribable. There is no rythmic
swing to give her molions something of
tho vibrations of the pendulum. Her
decks are filled with water, while her
bows divo into a chasm that has opened
under her forefoot, a valley yawns
under her sturn and a hill of water
flashes up on either side. It has not
been suggested that the altitude of the
cyclonic wave should be determined.
Probably there is no eye afloat equal to
such an undertaking.
Another very uncomfortable sea is
the volcanic wave. It is not very long
ago that a vessel, steaming through
quiet waters on a dark night, was sud
denly burled up by an invisible billow
that was reckoned to be between thirty
and forty feet high. Three such waves
passed under her, the last being the
least in volume, and then all was dead
flatness ot ocean again. The stoutest
heart might well thump to such an on-
vountcr as this.— London Telegraph.

The True Art ot Living I. to l.lve With

There nro innumerable books that
tench us how to behave in society, how
to demean ourselves at the church,
the theater and the lycouni. But the
place above all others where a man or
womnn should know how to conduct
themselves with propriety is at homo.
The greater portion of every person's
-ocinl life is spent at home, and, there
fore, it is a logical deduction that, if
;ood manners nro essential to mutual
happiness they should ba brought
mto use nt homo ns w. 11 n. in society.
The great secret ot homo happiness
is the absolute ro| ression of temper.

fective ways of expressing dis.-ip-
iroval, than by an outburst of angry

A housewife’s food is usually good,
