Even as tlioy nit on the boticli, tlio very
Incarnation of Holoiiinlty, tlio mnllo that
llghtH up thulr old faucri when hoiiio law
yer craokH a dry, crinkly joke, llko the

ceno they maku (twinging down thoave
nuo by twoa and threes after their day's
work la done lit ouo which uveryhody has
looked at with Interest, and which we
crlbca have all written about.
Soiuo men actually refuse to olioy the
orders of Imperious naturo and grow
old an the yearn gather. A few not onlj
refuse to let the heart dry up and tlio
blood liecoino thin with ago, but they
porvlHt in remaining youthful in appear
anco and fair to look upon. Thero in
Senator Colquitt. I uuver two that man
without wondering if bo hattu't played
eoino bucIi trick on uhiw palming anon
off on the xuuatu and tlio world fur him
self. It does not boem posallilo that thin
lively iH.'ion, with tho bright eyes and
smooth, youthful faco, id tlio man who
served an a stair olllcer in tho Mexican
war, and wlio was drat elected to con
gress nearly forty years ngo.
Yet be Is tho man, and ouo would Bay
that ho was good for another iiuurter of
ft century. Colquitt's case proves that if
a man wants to live long and retain his
powers in old ago ho must livo right.
Tho senator is now and always has In-en
a teetotaler. Probably ho has madu a
greater nuinbor of temperance speeches
than any other man in congress. It was
his devotion to tlio tuniiH'rnneo cause, it
Is said, that made him governor of Geor
gia and then senator.
A few days ago I saw a somewhat re
markable couple on top of the dome of
tho Capitol. They were Senators Col
quitt and Payne, and these old fellows
were taking in tho great panorama which
is spread out under the eyes of Liberty
with all the nest of a couple of bcIiooI
boys. It is no easy climb to this height.
up the steep, winding stairs, and with
no clovator to help one even u part of
tho journey. Yet hero were two men
whoso combined ages represented a cen
tury and n half looking out uiwii a city
full of noble edifices, that was founded
but a few years before tho elder senator
was born. Senator Payne will lie 80 if
ho lives till November, but ho is not by
any means an old man. He is as lively
as a cricket, both mentally and physical
ly, and made the ascent of the dome
without any discomfort.
Senator Pay no is n Now Yorker, and be
and Stephen A. Douglas were lxyB to
gether. Tho senator once told me that he
loaned Douglas tho money with which
that young mnn wont out to Illinois and
established himself as a lawyer. "And
though tho $200 whloh I gave him was
about all tho money I had In tho world,"
said tho senator, "it was tho best invest
ment I ever mado." Douglas died a quar
ter of a century ago, and here is Payne,
by no means worn out.
BPUY SENATOR ALLISON.
Without doubt tho statesman who car
ries bis years best is Senator Allison, who
has just been ro-elected by his Iowa con
stituents. Allison Is one of tho hand
somest men in Washington. Ho has a
fine oyo. which tho ladles llko to look
upon. Ills skin is warm and smooth, and
no bald spot disfigures tho manly head.

Ho is not even gray. One would not
think this man, apparently as strong and
active as any collegian, had worked for a
quarter of a century in tho national con
gress, and worked hard, too. Allison Is
one of those fortunate men who tlirlvo
on hard work. lie has great rapacity,
accomplishes much with little effort, and
when his woi k Is done throws olf all care
and worry as easily as he lays aside his
overcoat when spring dawns.
AIIIhoii known how to tnko care of
himself. He lives well hut rationally.
He has a weakness for pralrlo chicken
and wild turkey, hut these are not lux
uries which make men old and gouty.
The senator dilutes wine, though spar
ingly, and concerning a statement which
I once printed alsiut him, to the effect
that he was an Inveterate tobacco
ohewer, he laughingly said the other
day that lit) bad never chewed tobacco
at all. "I tried It once when I was n
boy," be added, "and the result of that
experiment was not encouraging." Al
lison has been In congress twenty-live
yoais, but I notice that he disdains to
nsk street car drivers to stop either to let
blui olf or take him on.
Colquitt and Allison are men who look
no older now than they did ten or llfteeu
years ago. They represent one class of
youthful old men the men who are sus
tained by plenitude of tich blood and
native vitality. Senator Payne repre
sents another class, and still another
tyK) sits just across the aisle from him
In the senate chamber, "Well, If there
inn i I'.varis masing a howcii, said an
Irrevorent visitor to tho senate ouo day
last week; "will that man never die?
There seems to I hi nothing left of him
but his iioho and a hat full of brains."
Probably Senator Evarts never will dio
as other men die. In his case dissolution,
some twenty-live or fifty years hence,
will resemble the withering and blowing
away of a plant, livarts does resemble
a mummy, If ever a living man did.
He weighs no more than 100 jiounils, and
aliout one-third of this iscoiitulued in his
head. The only change his friends have
observed in him in the last ten years is
a sinking back of tho lino of the mouth
and a eorrosixindingly greater promi
nence of that great nose. He appears to
bo a man without any teeth In his head.
Perhaps they have been crowded out by
tho gray matter of tho cranium. At any
rato, the big brain Is as iierfect and pro
found as It ever was.
Though sometimes a littlo shaky on
his plus, ns the llrlton would say, Bvnrts
manages to take some exerclso. Last
Sunday afternoon I saw him and another
famous old man trudging down Connec
ticut avenue. Evarts and hanks made a
striking pair. The former is 73 and tho
latter 71. lloth were well known figures
in public life two generations ago. Ex
Speaker Hanks does not look bis age by
nliout twenty years. As they walked
down tho avonuo, nmld a. throng of
young men and maidens, It was to bo no-
EVAUTS AND 1IANK8 OUT FOU A WALK.
tlccd that the congressman Is livelier
with his legs than tho senator. But in
mental activity Evarts has tho advan
tage. Tho man who was speaker of tho
houso before many of tho present mem
bers of that body were born Is alllicted
with n sonllo memory, and at times
with inability to concentrate his
thoughts. Probably this is his last ap
pearance in tlio halls of congress, whero
ho Is now rounding out a career of which
any man could well be proud.
Senator Sherman ns a typo of youth
ful old men occupies a position midway
between Colquitt and Evarts. The Ohio
statesman is neither mummified nor full,
vital blooded. Ho Is, rather, one who
ban husbanded the nativo strength of his
constitution by careful living and me
thodical work till now, at nearly 70, and
with n record of forty years of public
service behind blui, ho seems good for n
doron years moro. When in good health
Samuel J. llaudall was a flno specimen
of tho youthful old man, Randall has
ono of thoso smooth, boyish faces, yet
strong and manly, which do not chango
with tho years.
Fow statesmen havo worked harder
than Randall, or accomplished moro in
tho way of legislation. Two years ago
ho was tho same Randall, alert, self con
tained, sharp oyed, quick eared, a pict
ure of strength, that ho was twenty years
before Two decades did not apparently
make much chango In him, and had ho
worked less assiduously and taken moro
exorcise and pleasure ho might still bo
ono of the activo loaders on tho floor.
Senator Edmunds Is ono of tho old
looking statesmen who aro not very old.
It is Edmunds' baldness that gives him
tho appearance of a patriarch at 03. Tho
most venerable appearing men in the
sonato are not tho oldest members of
that body. "Old Joo Brown," of Georgia,
whose long, almost hairless head and
great white beard make him look llko a
centenarian, is only 00, Tlio oldest man
in tho house, Mr. Miles, of Connecticut,
is ono of tho liveliest lncuiliers of that
body, and by no menus tho oldest in ap
pearance. Thero aro many young old
men in tho senate and houso, and not a
fow young men who, profiting not by
tho lessons of experience, are rapidly
growing old. Walter Wellman.

ty's Imllnn empire no longer grows tho Nippy
for .Moiigollnu consumption atone, for slnvci
of tliu nnrcotlu exist everywhere at tho pres

Not long hlncoa geiitlvninu who litis Hent

"Abstractly China does not care for tlio
emigration of her citizens. They are allow etl
to go aliroml for tho ptii'iioso of lettering

to state It as a fact Hint when they denrt
they aro given to luitlcrstantl tlmt ono of
their duties Is to spread tho Imlilt of opium
smoking. To my mind tlioy nro made tho
iignnts of a fiendish Oriental rovengo for wut
Injustice nml injury."
At any rate, It is from tho Chinese tlmt tho
Imlilt Is acquired, ami It Is by them that tho
implements for self dchtrtictlnn are furnished.
These hitter nro cheap or costly, according to
the menus of tho purchaser, nnd consNt of a
pljHi, a bowl, a lump, a tray, a Iwttle of oil,
a yln hoc or IkxIMii, and a toy or mx for
holding tho prewired opium. Tho pljw is of
bamboo, nml Is tlpnil nt either end with
Ixino, Ivory, silver, gold or mother of jicnrl.
Tho lowest price of n now plpo Is 1,&1, hut

are of three grade. Thoso of red china clay
cost eight coats each; tho second grade, of
dark gray or Mate color, aro valued nt thirty
five cents, and tho highest quality, tho black,
brings fifty cents. Tho lamp can Imj pur
chased for sixty cents; but If ft is caged with
Kast Imllnn silver filagree work It tuny Ihj
held at as high a sum ns f 100. Tho tray Is
simply nu ordinary tea tray for holding tho
various utensils.
Tho oil used Is either ollvo or peanut, and
tho yln hoe Is a bodkin of steel olntod nt
one end and llntteiiod at tho other. Tho toy
Is nn airtight box, In which tlm supply of
prewired opium Is kept. It may Ihj of Ihjiio,
worth only forty cents, or of solid gold or
silver nnd diamond studded. The opium is
of four grades, ami Is sold In jxickagesof flvo
tnels, Tho cheapest variety is worth 7.60 a
can and tho costliest $11.(7).
TIiomi aro tho materials nnd hero Is tho
manner in which tho kcopcr of an opium
"Joint" utilizes them in serving his custom
ers; First ho cleans out tho IhiwI and ilani
eim tho top with a sjiotigo. Then ho takes tlio
cover from tho toy, dips in tho sharp end of
tho bodkin and brings out n bit of Misty
opium tho size of a pen. Ho holds this half
an Inch from tho tlaino of tho lump until it
swells to tho dimensions of a small walnut,
and tho original color changes from that of
black molasses to a Vaml ko brown.
Tho sizzling globule Is noxt wlthdrawu
from tho tiro, carefully rullod about on tho
IkiwI of tho plpo nnd ugaln subjected to tho
flame. After a third and final cooking It is
deftly deiosItod hi tho center of tliu bowl.
Ono long whlir of twenty seconds' duration
and tho pill is gone. Tho process of cooking
occupies aliout two minutes. Klvo pills will
make nu amateur drowsy nml eight will put
him to sleep, but a "fleadV daily ration is
forty pills uml upw ards.
So ninny dllllcultles and dnugers liedgu
about tho acquirement of tho habit tlmt It
seems wonderful that any ouo persists In
smoking tho deadly drug after tho tlrst ex
periment. If even tho slightest breath of
sir enters tho month whon ths smoko is In
haled tho ilovotco (s certain to suffer from nu
ncute attack of wind collo, for which tho
ouly specific U a slice of lemon covored with
burnt opium. A curious thing ubout the
prepared drug is that it hardens if exposed
to tlio air, but tho atmospheric effect on a
cooked pill Is to soften it to its original soml
liquidity. Opium smoking U no longer confined to the
back rooms of Chinese laundries. It has go no
beyond tlmt now, and finds its homo and its
white jutroiu in more luxurious quarters.
Probably no largo city in the United States
is without at loost two or three lavishly n
pointed resorts whero tho unhappy victims of
the vice meet to Indulge In their suicidal pro
pensities. Tlioy nro arranged in series of
apartments nliouuding la rugs nnd couches,
and it Is the custom of tho regular xitrons to
group themselves In (mrties of four, gener
ally two men and two women, who recline
nbout ttin littlo flickering lamp and pass the
deadly pljx) from hand to hand, ti-.o most ox

Cherokee Ntrli I.hiiiI lloiiiiiers.
What Is known as tho "Cherokee strip" in
tho Indian territory Is attracting tho atten
tion of "land boomers." It was thought that
the strip would lie legally ocncl to settle
mentat an early day, and (liithrio, Oklahoma,
became the headquarters of hundreds of k
plo ready to make a grand skurry across tho
dividing lino. Carittiiters were busy building
small frame houses and mounting them on
wheels, ho that when tho rush came they could
be whirled across tho country to thu desired
sjsit and tho claim held by the liest title xs
siblo la tho scramble.
The other day falso Intelligence came that
tho president had ojieueil tho strip to settle
ment, ami In a night 10,000 isvoplo rushed in.
They aro now, of course, liable to expulsion.
Tho oxierlences of those who settled tho
Oklahoma country do not seem to havo taught
their successors the lesson that In n wholesale
grab either for realty or gold ten lose their

lottery of life is about the smuo at tho mines

An Atrocious Crime In UiismIii.
Nearly every country has somo blot on Its
escutcheon In tho way of atrocious crimes,
but a recent atrocity at Moscow has temo
rarlly turned tho eyes of the civilized world
toward Russia. Tho victim, n sister of chari
ty named l'latulzky, was well known for her
many gocsl deeds. Her body was found hi a
sack, the flesh liolng hacked from the Initios
and cut Into small pieces. The head was
picked up in a quarter of tho city far distant
from where the trunk was discovered. Tho
crime was fastened on a medical student, Bel
sow sou by name, who, after arrest, commit
ted suicide. No reason has dcveloK.sl for tho
murder and mutilation. The woman's llfo
was sjient in doing good, ami It was not
known that slio had au enemy in tho world.
fltinnlllic A;iillist Diseased Cattle.
Tho Kugllsh house of commons is preparing
to consider measures to prevent moro fully
tho introduction of diseased cattle Into tho
Ilrltlsh Isles. Tho main country of exort

In a recent debate ono of the uiumHrsof par
liament asked tho government U ascertain If
cattlo from the western states of Atnericu
were free from contagion, and, if they wcro
freo, whether they could not lie convoyed to
England without contact with animals from

show that since tho present system was intro
