VISIO.V8 or ANOTHER SELF.
ITorfl. with the fading eye of reason, 1
couM trace the first 6ouse of that duality
which hashish gives. The self material and
the self spiritual seemed sundered and mov
ing in dilTerent worlds. The more violent
the tho more completely Is the outer
i..it urv suUlue.!, until familiar surroundings
nro swallowed in the vision. It is an incred
ible characteristic of bu.shisb intoxication or
delirium that whatever visions you see you
never seem to see them, but, as it were, to see
voursolf seeing them. In all your wander
ings vou cannot te alone. There is a senseof
companionship of an attendant, familiar,
j et strange In an instant there U flashed
upou you the knowledge of that duality; that
companion is your othor acir.
I'iiLS erio of dualitv is doubly apparent In
the talk and action of oue anoer tho spell of
l.ashish. lhs ordinary consciousness of per
sous and things about him is little impaired.
Though be lies as in a stupor, and exclaims
drowsily at tfco visions before him, the
slightest question will receive a ready an
swer, but i a a vexed tone, as to say: "Go
away and let me alone." The hearing is
znarvclously fine. It seems as f all the out
ward senses were alert and even had a ra
tionality working behind them, while from
the disjected utterances of the sleeper you
tnny know that behind closed lids he moves
in a laud of wonders manifold.
When trying to talk sense, he knows bis
speeches are broken and wandering. It is a
common expression of tho hashish eater,
waking or sleeping: "I know I am making a
fool of myself, but I can't help it." The
thought is for an instant, clear and acute
upon any subject suggested, but then the
ideas flee from utterance, and In their pur
suit the victim gets tired and tangled, and in
a moment cannot tell what the subject was.
Out at the far conflnes of space there was
n great flaming sickle of gold and of infinite
circumference. It grew smaller and smaller.
Its point curled ever inward. The glitter-,
ing, wavy edge seemed to smile, while to
6low musis it girt me closer and painlessly,
softly as though I were of air. I felt myself
bisected at the equator The two whirling
l;emipheres passed away in opposite direc
tions into space. Looking back upon this
and other things 1 marvel bow they could
Lave been so real To sense it seems absurd.
Yet the further I pass fromXbat strange ex
perience the more distinct, more vivid, more
glorious grows Its memory; the more Its In
cipient horrors grow small in estimate anJ
are crowded out of remembrance.
JUE SCE.XB GROWS SOilEZR.
I was drifting downward, heavy with the
mist that came from the echoing caverns be
neath, and the blue shadow of the calling
spirit seemed ever to be denser, ever to clop
me closer to It. The darkness had its genii,
damp and slumberous creaturos, looking from
yyes heavy with lethargy Here and there a
diamond, huge as the moon, gleamed with
malignant light from its black, dripping set
t;n in the hideous and world ribbing rocks.

fcaxulful of shining stars. It was as when a
sower costs seed. They leaped away broad
cast, left lines of trailing brightness across
the vault in their wake, and took up their
stations, like sentinels of the nighp, about
the blue serene. What glories passed, what

The Trench girl can hardly be said to

Garments for Stout Women.
In the first place if a woman is inclined to
embonpoint'' she must wear her dress as
long as tossible and well trimmed at the bot
tom. The object of this is obvious to ren
der her girth the lesser. As an example.
look at a fat woman in the street with a
plain skirt and a rather full drapery above,
gathered up between knee and waist, then a
short wrap ending just below tho waist, and.
as is frequently seen at the present time.
trimmed round this already overdressed or-
tion of anatomy with the hideous fur balls.
Docs such a woman ever calculate the num
ber of inches she lias thus added to her bulk 1
Not a bit; she has gone to buy a wrap, and
she has bought it. She would have bought
it if the prevailing fashion had been jxjlar
bear. She wanted a wrap. To complete her
toilet she will wear a bonnet pitched together
as tightly as possible, never stopping to con
sider that bonnets and bats are to the head
what a frame is to the picture. But if di
minutive bonnets are the fashion she is go
ing to wear one, no matter if her face is
twice as big as the bonnet.
The remedy is in every woman's own
hands. She must learn to use the brains
that presumably a beneficent Creator has
given her. When she sees a dress that at
tracts her, she should reflect before buying
how it will suit her, and if the effect she ad
mires cannot le produced iu a modified form,
then she must use some other style.
I am speaking particularly for stout
women, who are the most difficult to dress.
When a woman is short as well, still greater
care is necessary, bue must absolutely
abandon the idea of wearing garments of the
same falision as would be becoming to a slen
der figure. In doing this she need not fear
looking dowdy or remarkable. If she wears
that which is simple and quiet, she will
always look at her best. It is by not attract
ing attention that one does not challenge
criticism, Selina Dolaro in Globe-Democrat.
Utilizing the Drippings.
Articles of food fried in drippings are not
only more palatable than those fried in lard,
but more wholesome. Indeed, there are many
persons whose stomachs will fight against
any food fried in lard, yet take kindly to
that wheredrippings have been used. It ma3r
be utilized, too, not only for frying, but for
pastry purposes, in the making of which
good beef drippings is far preferable to the
common butter generally used. Therefore,
to the family in which economy is any ob
ject, the proper care of drippings is of con
siderable importance.
The manner of clarifying the drippings,
though simple, requires a little time and care.
First, every particle of fat should be melted
down, and this, with whatever superfluous
quantity you may have in 3'our meat pan,
bhould be poured into a bowl with some
boiling water. Stir it af terwards for three
or four minutes, and set it away until the
next day. Then take the cake from the bowl,
and remove with a knife whatever impuri
ties may have settled on the bottom of it.
I'ut it into a saucepan, adding a little salt
and some boiling water, and ajlow if to sim
mer for twenty minutes, skimming off the
impurities if any rise to the surface. Then
pour it again into a bowl, and when cold,
free the bottom of the cake as before, melt
and strain it through a seive, and when
quite cold, put away for use in a covered
stone crock. DriMifr.gs way be used for fry
ing purposes over and over again, but should
bo clarified after each using. The House

TTomon who fo into business, either frpra

Tk9 Armor of Sweet Dignity.

In the- haughty disdain of one wh perhaps
overestimates bis admiration.
There Is no armor like a sweet dignity. It
seems to be one of the best qualities of
woman, and it teaches her intuitively how
to bow, how to smile, how to receive her
friends and how to dismiss a bore. Women
whose manners are too familiar never have
much ower. People do not care for that
which they gain easily, and yet cordiality Is
a very necessary adjunct to good manners.
A woman who can express the true shade of
cordiality by a bow is very fortunate.
If a gentleman comes up to a lady at a
crowded watering place and claims an ac
quaintance, if she has no idea who he is, she
should bow and frankly tell him her dilemma
and ask his name. She can say to him that
sht has a poor memory for facets; that she
sees many people, and that she begs he will
forgive her. Few men are, and never ought
to be, so ill tempered as to object to this in
quiry. If they are so thin skinned as to care
the acquaintance may as well stop there.

A llosteN at Times.
The woman who can truthfully be said to
lead a narrow lifo in the sense of being a
neighbor is she who passes all her time be
tween the four walls of her house who has
no interest whatever beyond her husband
and children and recognizes no outside claims
at all upon her who does not visit her sick
neighbor, nor belong to any book club or
sewing society or church society. Her paint
ing, tier embroidery, her books, flowers, mu
sic aud dainty food are expended only on her
own home. No one. save those who share
her family circle, receive any pleasure, any
benefit from her. No one is more lovely to
think on than the sweet home keeping
woman devoted to her husband and childreu,
but in thinking on her the picture naturally
includes a woman who is a gracious hostess
at times, who is a busy mem tier of some
small, pottering society of smne kind or
other, and who is an adorable lady bounti

Retween Parents auil Children.
I sometimes observe the comity which
exists in families that is, the reciprocal
seutimeKits that pass between parents and
children. I never saw a boy yet who discov
ered much affection for "the old man" who
licked him upon occasion. Uedid it again and
he lied about it, too, if it would redeem tho
whip, in families where they keep a whip
you do not se much caressing.
The little boy, when he comes home tired
nil out, does not drop into his father's arms
and kiss him as he falls asleep. Little boys
think; they observe the ways and tho tem
peraments of men. A boy always looks
in a man's fuee when he passes by. lie
is ever watching for little acts of courtesy or
a recognition from older persons. Speak to
him pleasantly, and notice what a joy per
vades his face and shines out in his eyes. He
sees the little manhood that tills his jacket is
recognized and he goes on his way happy.

inexpensive. The materials needed are ten
yards of tho cheese cloth and five one pound
rolls of cotton. The cheese cloth when cut
into lengths of two and a half yards is placed
on a bed or table. Over this is laid a laj-er
of cotton batting, which has previously been
placed before a hot fire or register, unrolling
it from the bundle over a chair or clothes
horse. This causes the cotton to expand to
twice its first thickness. A second la3'er goes

been utilized. Over the last layer is placed
the second cover of cheese cloth, and the
whole tied with worsted in bed quilt fashion.

Is it possible that not one woman in ten in
this city bas ever been in the schoolroom in
which her children are being educated, and
where they spend at least six hours of their
day? She does not know what sort of desks

ventilations of the rooms or anything, 111
fact, that concerns the healthfulness and
comfortableness of tho place in which her
children remain for so long a time. It is as
much her duty to inform herself of the con

One chapter of Mrs. Diaz's "Bybury to
Beacon Street" is so full of sound sense that it
deserves to be quoted entire, and net par
tially, and we mustq'.iote it. Ia brier, the
mother of a family, after a hard forenoon's
work, ha 1 given up to tears, for her girl and
boj' had gone away leaving their tasks un
done, and the burden of the da- seeded to be
growing greater than sho could bear.
Her husband, finding hep thus di?our
egetj, inquired ii.to the matter, and came to
the conclusion that the children should bo
made to realize that a part of the household
work belonged to tliein; und not that they
were generously "helping mother" wu:i t'tpy
gave assistance.
one evening, after Laura had finished
her xj-fiiipies, her father askod her to write
down all the different things I bad to tlo in

write, her father and Fred prompting whu4
her memory failed.

waa a good deal of work for one person,
