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-

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

As to Opium.Aitnougn tne consumpuou 01 up

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
