Presently there came along a na- 1 tive, a sour-faced individual, with a rope in his hand. It subsequently 0 transpired that he was looking for a UI stray mule. He came out of the bush g opposite the station and stood for o some time looking up and down the ra tracks. Then he directed his gaze to | !tss the group of waiting passengers on J the platform with their feet hanging over. He regarded them listlessly lor quite a wnue, tnen suddenly ne called out: j. "Hey, there! Yotall!" "What Is it?" demanded some one, ^ startled by the sudden cry. I "H'lst your feet!" I m This injunction to "h'lst" was com- plied with by all with alacrity, for, as they looked down over the plat- . form, they perceived a big rattlesnake just coiling for a strike. * si handy grindstone was dropped on the In reptile, despatching it, of course, and one of the men thanked the native j for his timely warning. The latter smiled grimly., "I don't s'pose I deserve much thanks," he ^ said, "but some men who have lost a mule an' been huntin' for it for three days would have- been kinder onery w 'bout that snake.

It would be simply a raste of time, he decided. Tucking tie key into his pocket he slowly limbed into the cab again, and owled back to the office, plunged in itter thoughts.

At a railway station of a certain 5V
Alabama town a number of passengers,who were waiting for a trainlong overdue, had distributed themselveson the platform, their feet 9
hanging thereover.Presently there came along a na-
1
tive, a sour-faced individual, with a
rope in his hand. It subsequently 0
transpired that he was looking for aUI
stray mule. He came out of the bush g
opposite the station and stood foro
some time looking up and down the ratracks. Then he directed his gaze to | !tssthe group of waiting passengers on Jthe platform with their feet hangingover. He regarded them listlesslylor quite a wnue, tnen suddenly necalled out: j.
"Hey, there! Yotall!""What Is it?" demanded some one, ^startled by the sudden cry.I"H'lst your feet!" I
mThis injunction to "h'lst" was com-
plied with by all with alacrity, for,as they looked down over the plat-
. form, they perceived a big rattlesnakejust coiling for a strike. * sihandy grindstone was dropped on the Inreptile, despatching it, of course, andone of the men thanked the native jfor his timely warning.The latter smiled grimly., "I don't
s'pose I deserve much thanks," he ^said, "but some men who have lost a

many elder trees, diseased and killenearly all its inhabitants, which, wheat last they were grubbed up, becama very healthy and wholesome place.

As to Opium.Aitnougn tne consumpuou 01 up
um to excess by members of ttwhite races is harmful in a high digree to body and mind, the effect <
the drug upon the Far Eastern rac<
is a point concerning which no sue
dogmatic statement can be made. Ccourse, there are to be found in Asiamong the native population thoisands of men and women who ai
slaves to the habit and who ai
thereby demoralized in mind ac
ruined in constitution. On the oth<hand, there are immense numbeiof people who while accustomed 1take opium daily consume the druin moderate quantities and exhibno evil effects from the practice. I:deed, Mr. Rudyard Kipling son
years ago stated .that in his bellthe moderate consumption of opiudid good rather than harm to tlnative population of India. In facthe consumption of opium by tlAsian people may be compared n<
inaptly to the consumption of alehoi by .the Europeans. Both haithrough generations of practice a
quired a certain immunity to tldrugs. This, however, does ni
prove that alcohol and opium are ni
harmful but that narcotics of ax
description exert an especially m
lign influence upon virgin soil. Thconsumption of opium by white pepie is invariable attended with tlmost disastrous consequences ar
