The native country of the poppy Is
unknown; its history is obscure; but it
is an inhabitant of ninny warm, and
noma tcrapcratc'cliiuaUM, and there is a
curious theory held about it by tho bot
anists of the eastern border of Scot
land, that it was imbedded in the gravel
knolls which were deposited at the end
of tho glacial epoch, and thai the needs
of prim:i:val crops there lay dormant,
iint.l the hillsides being cut through
for engineering purposes, they were
again brought within the influence of
vivifying agents. At all events, teeds
of the poppy, buried for vcar., have
been known to remain fruitful; and ev
er)' traveler in that district may remark
for himself that the titles of the railway
cuttings between Twcedmouth and Kef
no are literally clothed in .scarlet

from Coch, Celtic for red, which would
of itself denote a far-distant antiquity.
Our own familiar corn-rose is an an
nual found in ticlds, and sometimes in
barren and wasto places, during the sum
mermonths. His, however, especially a
plant of cultivation; and tho ruthless

wild winds that caltor the petals and!
bow do-vn tho heads, would appear to
lit?, like tho poet's view of
alllictions,
"but blcsing8 in disguise."
It is our only rcallv scarlet
wild
flower, and man' attempts have been
made to utilize it as a dye, but hitherto
without success, the brilliant hue being
too delicate and too fugitive.
It may bo notired that, according to
the doctrine of signatures, which must
always possess a singular interest to tho
inquirer, the Poppy is good for nil dis
eases of the head, as its crown some
what represents the head and brain of
man.
An old herbalist thus writes: "Na
ture, methinks, docs seem to hint .some
very notable vittuo or excellence in this
plant, from the curiosity it has be
stowed on it First in its flower: it is
ol the very highest scarlet dye, which is,
indeed, the prime mid ehiefest color,
nnd has been, in all ages of tho world,
most highly esteemed. Next, it has as
much curiosity showed also in tho husk
or case of the seed as any one plant. I
have yet met withal. Thirdly, the very
seeds themselves the microscope dis
covers to bo very curiously-shaped
bodies. And, lastly, Nature lias taken
such abundant care for the propagation
of it that one singlo seed, grown into a
plant is capable of bringing some hun
dred thousand seeds."
Linmcus says that 30,000 seeds have
been counted in the head of a single
red poppy.
In very early times tho flower was
held in high esteem: the an
cients, regarding sleep as the great
physician and consoler, crowded
their statues of Sommts with a garland
of poppies; it was dedicated to the rich
and beneficent Ceres; poets sang of its
beauty; philosophers extolled its mys
terious power.
Theocritus mentions it as a love
charm. Chiefly used as a medicine in our
own country, it is valued as a narcotic
indulgence by Almost all other nations,
and the quantity consumed in the East
is said to be so immense that a state
ment of the amount would appear quite
incredible. Here it is evidently on tho
increase. It is chiefly cultivated in
Europe and Asia, but it is also grown in
Australia. Large quantities of it are
raised at Mitcham, in Surrey, but our
uncertain climate must preveut our ever
being able to crow it profitablv. al
though British opium has beou found
to. contain more morphine (its most
valuable constituent) than the opium of
commerce
In the Soulh of France, and Germany,
the experiment might be mom success
ful, for it would appear that it is not
mere heat of 'climate which causes tho
juice of tho ripening capsules to be
rich in Morphine; and the poppy culti
vated for its seed, affording a valuable
oil, .may be so treated as to yield a
harvest of opium, at an expense which
need not exceed one fourth of tho mar
ket value of the drug obtained, whilst
tho seed can ripen uninjured by the in
cisions made in tho seed vessels.
Warmth and dryness are necessary to
the setting of the juice, which shall be
of a reddish color, a waxy luster and a
strong, disagrccablo scent. The best
opium is procured during tho north
west or dry winds, and the worst
during the moist or cast northeast
when the drag imbibes moisture, and a
watery, bad solution collects in cavit'es
of its substance called juisscica, accord
ing to the absence of which tho opium
is generally prized.
In India the poppy is grown in large
fields, said to resemble carpets of dark
green velvet or a green like studded
with waterl ilies. It flower? in January. .
aad capsules are nearly ripe early in
March, when incisions are made in
them downwards., with a small knife
consisting of three or lour minute
blades fastened together; the milkv
jniee which exudes is allowed to thicken
and dry for four and twenty hours, and
is then scraped off. The greatest yield
of good opium m our Indian possessions
is Mated to ue forty-one poinds per im
penaTaere, and the average to be
twnty to twenty-ire pounds. Dr.

takes about one-third of the mam before

gluUnatcs many otScr coats over It: the
alls arc again weighed, and reduced
or increased to a certain weight, if nec
essary. At the day's end each man
takes his work to a rack with numbered
compartments, and deposits it in that
which answers to his own number;
thence the balls (each being put in a
clay cup), are carried to an enormous
drying room, where they arc exposed
in tiers, and constantly examinee! and
turned to nrejent their being attacked
by weevil, which are very prevalent
during the moist winds; little boys creep
ing along the racks all day for th's pur
pose. When dry, the balls arc packed in
two layers of six each, in chest, with
the stalks, dried leaves, and capsules
of the plant and sent down to Calcutta.
"A little opium is prepared of very
fine quality for the Government Hospi
tals, and some for general sale in India;
but the proportion is trifling, and such is
maue up into square cakes.
"A good workman will prepare from
thirty to fifty balls a day, the total pro
duce being from 10,000 to IL',000 a day.
During one season, 1,35:1.000 balls arc
manufactured 'for the Chinese market
alone. Tho poppy petal cakes, each
about-a fool radius, are made in the
fields by women, by the simple opera
tion of pressing the fresh petals to
gether. They are brotigtit in large
baskcts.and purchased at the commence
ment of the season.
'The liquor with which the pancakes
are agglutinated together by the ball
makers, and worked into balls, is mere
ly thickened opium-water, tho wator
for which is derived from the con
demned opium, jtajurwa, the washing
of the utensils and of workmen, ever
one of whom is nigh ly laved before ho
leaves the establishment Thus not a
particle of opium is lost. To encourage
tho farmer-, the refuse stalks, leaves
and heads arc bought up to pack the
balls with."
Indian opium is thought inferior to
Turkish, and, nwinz to peculiarities of
clitunto, will probably always remain
so. It never yields more than five per
cont morphia, whence its inferiority;
but it is as good in other respects, and
even richer in nicot'ne.

The Argosy.
Lion Killing a (Juagga.
I on co had a rare chanco of scoing a
lion catch and kill his prey in the open
in dayl'ght While on a short hunt Ui
the north of Waterberg. in the Trans
vaal, in the winter of lbT-J, with a Dutch
Hocr, we saddled up one afternoon to
shoot a couple of quaggas (Btircheirs
7cbra) for our followers, quagga meat
being preferred above all others by the
natives of that country. We had ridden
a considerable round without falling in
with any, but about an hour before sun
down we came across a troop of about
fifty. Galloping up within shot, we
fired, when one mare dropped. Re
loading and mounting, wo started after
the troop, which had now disappeared
over a ridgo. On gaining the r se wo
saw tho quaggas tailing out in the hol
low and commencing to ascend a sec
ond slope, one or two stallions bringing
up tho rear, as is usually tho case. Can
tering on, my companion suddenly
pulled up and pointed out to mo a lion
trotting swiftly up across tho quaggas'
line of retreat, behind a few scattered
bowlders nnd low bushes dotting tho
slope, evidently with tho intention of
securing his supper. We moved slow
ly forward, when tho hindmost stallion,
thinking wc were gett-ng too close,
started after his companions at a smart
canter. It was now exciting. The
quagga was close to the lino of the lion's
approach; a couple of seconds more
and the dark mass of the lion's form
shot out from behind a stone on his prey.
In a moment the quagga was on the
ground. The lion loft liitn instantly,
moved a fewyards distant and lay down
with his head away from tho q'uagga,
twitching his tail nervously from side
to side, as much as to say: "Ihavc
done that properly." The wholo thing
was dono so quickly and suddenly
that it is difficult to describe. The
lion had not yet seen us, but on riding
nearer ho turned and faced, looking
rather put out at our appearing on tho
scene. At first he seemed inclined to
bolt but at last lay down facing us,
evidently unwilling to give up his gamc.
Rnincr -irTinii to nraminA tln ninmni

and Knowing my uocr menu to be re
liable we rode up to about fifty yards
and dismounted. I held tho horses,
keeping my double ritlo in reserve in
case of accident Tho lion, not liking
tho look of things, got up and walked a
few steps toward us, growling savagely.
I told the Boer to shoot straight, which
he did, hitting tho lion with his old six
to the pound on tho point of the
shoulder; tho bullet passing out behind
tho other shoulder, dropped tho lion on
the spot On examining the -quagga it
would appear from tho claw mark that
the lion's left forearm was thrown over
the wither and tho claws fixed in tho
shoulder, the right forearm's claws in
the chest the left hind claws had' been
driven into the flank a little below the
level of the hip-bone, tho right hind foot
evidently on the ground, thus holding
the animal as if in a vice, while the
teeth had met in the neck about three
inches or four inches behind the ears,
smashing tho bone as effectually as a
two-ounce bullet My two front fingers
met in tho bite-hole. Death was in
stantaneous. The lion was a full
grown male with perfect teeth. On a
previous occasion a riding mare belong
ing to a friend of mine. was killed near
Wonderfontein, Transvaal, one night
close to the wagon, .while on a blesbok
hunt The mare was hobbled when
1 caught. The claw-marks and bite that
lulled were loenncai w.ta those on the
quagga. From all testimony that I
could gather from old hunters during
seventeen years'-residence in the Trans
vaal, and my own limited observation,
I would say that the lion nee his claws
as n holding power, Md kills by bite.

What i the matter? ' was aakeit
"I can't tell exactly," wa the reply.
It is tired and need reat If I lay it
aside for a week or so, it will regain its
perfection of tone, without anything
else bc'ng done to it It is a hard thing
to explain, and it i a fact familiar to
every artist If you use an intraincnt
too much it loses ita tone -not enough,
perbap. for the average auditor to per
ceive, but the artist know. it"
May be tho trouble is then with the
art'st himself losing the precision of
his touch from over-practice," said the
caller.
That is the explanation which most
naturally occurs to one, but it is not
good, 'ilie trouble is with the instru
ment. Kvery artist mcels with it and
has to keep" more than oac in use.
Wilhelmj has lo lay his Siradivarius vio
lin aside occasionally, ami use hi
Gemttnder until theStradivarius is rest
ed. Kery man who ties a razor
knows that it gets tired from too much
use. and regains its temper from being
laid aside for a while, and it w the same
with musical instrument". Tone is a
puzle anyhow. A track in the belly
ofaolin" or 'cello 3011 might think
woul 1 bo fatal to tone'from its intercep
tion of sound ibnition, but somet'me
CRvks seem to cause an improve
ment Instrument that are well treat
ed improve by age. It may lo that
the rich tones of a tine .Stradivari us or
Giiarncriti are due largely to the rage,
and the cxqtii.itu mellow quality which
we find in them is the acquisition
of ears. Gttillauuie. who was, in
his 'time, a celebrated Paris maker,
is now in disrepute because the line
tone he impattvd to his instruments
was not hist ng. He had somo process
for medicating the wood of his instru
ment! that gave them strength and
softness of tune, but age. instead of
improving them, impaired their quality.
Then, again, the tune of instruments
seems to result from harpy chance ad
jus'.uieiit of Iheir parts which cannot
be repeated with any certainty. The
masterpieces of the Cremona school
now in existence may lie strokes of good
fortune that the old makers themselves
could not always certainly effect You
fee that the bridge of my 'cello hero is
not a particularly fine-looking bit of
wood. Some time ago when 1 ha
pened to drop into an instrument-
maker a shop, he sanl: " 1 have got a
splendid piece of maple one hundred
and fifty years old. just the tfiing to
make you" a new bridge." Well, hu
made the bridge ami it looked right,
and seemed to lit right, but when I tried
it tho strings didn't sound right. I
worked with it some time, hut filially
had to trie it up. Then the bow has a
irrcat deal to do w.th the tune. Its
wood must be strong, and at the same
time slender and light; it must be Jinn
without being rigid, and must have per
fect evenness of texture, so as to give
the same quality of pcrcusiou from
whatoicr po'nt it may bo applied to the
strings. There are celebrated makers
of bows as well as of instruments. Tho
Lupot bow is famous. Tho maker is a
Frenchman who flourished in tho first
quarter of this 1 entury. He got hold of
a tine lot of I'crnaniliuco wood, and all
his bows were made of selected pieces.
A rood Lupot bow is worth one hundred
dollars. An ordinary bow, whir h would
look as if it were just as good, can bo
boujdit for live dollars.
"It is a hard thing to get hold of afino
old instrument," the virtuoa went on,
the 'cello strings now sounding in mel
ancholy chords under bis striving
lingers. "1 belioe I told on that ViI

though not himself a 'cello player, I be
liec, paid about -J,."00 for a Guar
ncrius. It is the rich amateur who runs
up the price of such instruments until
they arc out of reach of the poor artist
There is a manufacturer of garden tools
in Hart'ord who has a splendid collec
tion of violins, and yet, so farashisown
playing is concerned, nn ordinary tiddlo
would do him jut as well as a Stradi
varius. In bis collection is tho famous
King Joseph Guarnrlus violin. It is a
wonderful instrument I can't describe
to you the power, softness, and sweet
ness of its tones. They are exquisite.
I suppose he could get ? 1,000 or SS.OOO
for that violin at any time. It is
almost impossible to appreciate tho
value of such an instrument He has a
collection of fifteen bows that would
1 r'ng from 81,500 to 2.000. No in
struments could be better cared for
than those of his collection; but,
strange as it may seem, there are per
sons wtb a man'a for tol'ccting instru
ments who don't know Low to take care
of litem when they get them. I knew
a lialt'.iuorc collector who had violins
a'l over his houe. o'tcn in places where
they were liable to be broken at any
time. I was up-sJairs in his house
once, and was going to sit down on a
bed, when he shouted to me to look
out that a violin was in there. Sure
enough, a violin was stuck under tho
bed-clothes because he was too careless
to get a lag for it I once came across
a line 'cello in a town in Central New
York, owned by a man who can't play
it, doesn't take proper care of it anil
yet won't sell it " If it were not for such
men artists would not have to roako
great sacrifices to get instruments
with which they can realize their con
ceptions. Of course they must have
fine instruments. Nothing less will
content them, even though audiences
should be just as well satisfied to hear
any well-made instrument as the divine
voice of a Stradivarius." Baltimore

grew more and more distinct until,
presently, it took hape In words:

clared Freddy, grow'ng indignant a ho
explained.
Then a voice from tho pretty hotio
beyond called Freddy, and he "ran in.
while Dilly and Toddle., with their
amusement of wat-hing ended, turned
slowlv a wav.
Dillv surveyed the baby and herelf
thoughtfully, and sat down upon nn old
log to meditate.
If what Freddy Rtirr had told her
was true, something ought to bo dono
alout it.
And the longer she pondered tho
more fully .-lie became convinced that
sho had heard the truth.
"'Catt-e other folk ha thing and
wc don't, and it must be our go some
where else," she reasoned. "They

and see if wo can't jret some of 'em.
"Yah!" answered Toddle, content
edly; ami taking hi hand Dilly opened
the creaking gale and led the way down
the street
There was n number of men in tho
store at the corner a queer store, with
a curtain across the lower half of the
front window. Dilly saw them when
the door opened, but sho wa n de
termined little body when once she ha I
decided upon the proper thing todo. So
she only clasjied i'oddlp' hand clocr,
and walked in and up to the counter,
making an extra effort to speak distinct
ly, because her heart beat mi fat
" Please, sir. havo you got anything
of ours a-soak here?"
There wa an instant's silence, and
then a shout of laughter from the men.
"Well, now, that's a neat way of
putting it Hey, Kecnc. these young
sters of yours wants to know if Rnrncy
ha you In soak here."
An old slouched hat behind tho store
was raised a little, but there wa no
other sign that the man heard. Dilly
shrank back abashed.
"Oh, I didn't mean him!"
"What did you mean, then?" akcd
a coarse, red-fancd man, advancing
from behind the bar and speaking in
tones not at all gentle and amiable.
"Shoes and coats and such thing."
faltered Dilly. Hoods I'm 'fraid it's
spoiled with tho whisky; but mebby ma
could wash it out Wouldn't you" tike
some of 'cm out of your barrel, Mr.
Barney? We need 'em awfully bad."
I should think as much," muttered
one of the bi-standers, surveying the
two dilapidated figures; but Mr. Rar
neys wrath was risinjr.
"What barrel? Who scat you hero?"
be demanded, angrily.
"Your rum barrel,'' answered Dilly,
standinff her irround desperately.
though with a little catch in her breath
that was lust ready to break into a ob.
"Ma works all the" time, and she looks
so sorry; and we don't have any nice
dinners at onr house, like Freddy
Burr's; and no new shoes, nor cap,
nor anything. I asked Freddy where
our good things went to, 'caue they
don't come to our house, and he said
you had 'cm down here in your barrels,
rlease do take some of 'cm out, Mr.
Barney. I'm suro it can't make any
body's drink taste a bit better to have a
Uoor little boy's and girl's new shoes and
dresses and even-thing in the barrel."
"You arc right there Sissy; it's nigh
about spoiled the tasto of mine." said
rue of the group at the coun'cr, putting
down his glass with a queer, perplexed
look.
But there was no perplexity in the
bar-keeper's look- That wa wrathful.
"We've had enough of this nonseme!
Now yoa leave, you young ragamuffins.
u fast as your feet will carry yoa. and
never let "me catch you inside these
doors again."
He stepped toward them, a if to
drive them out bnt the man behind the
store suddenly arose.
'Take care. Barney! You'd better
not touch them. You've knocked me
nbout often enough, but vou'd best let
them alone."
There was a fire in the eves under the
eld slouched bat. before which Mr. Bar
ney drew back.
Both children were crying bv that
time, but the father took a hand ai each.
"Come. Dilly; come, baby;" and
without a word or look to bis compan

Hew Dr. (iathrle Brcamr a Teetotaler.
In a journey in Ireland in 1810. in an

lashing rain. Ry tho time we reached
a wuall inn we we're soaking with water
outside, and a thoo days were day
not of tea and toast hut of loddy drink

soak ourselves with hi-ky in:dc. Ac
cord.ngly wc rushed into the inn. or-

bler of toddy. Out of kindoc to oar

very well clothed indeed, ho rather
belonged in that repcct to the order of
my ragged school in Edinburgh. He
was soaking with wet and eo3cred

thought that what wa 'sauce for the

I remember that; aad I have ever re

for oor people to fol'ow. I carried
