was crowded and the efforts of the blind boy were highly appreciated by all present as was shown bp the hearty applause and frequent calls for repetitions The young lady who has also been here with Boone before sang several pleasing songs When Mr Boone invited any pianist in the audience to come forward and play for him to imitate Mr Frank White a University Place musician totally blind was led forward and played a number of difficult airs giving the stool to Blind Boone who faithfully produced every note and sound proving that he is certainly a wonder His imitations of various musical instruments were much enjoyed M E church Saturday evening May 23 auspices Junior League DREAM FOOD Hasheesh the Strange Drug That la Used In the Orient Hasheesh that strange drug which has given our language its word as sassin u man so frenzied by the drug that he accomplishes murder Is used by the Persians Turks and Egyptians In a manner akin to the use of opium by the Chinese It Is the product of a plant grown In large quantities in the Peloponnesus southern Greece in the district about Tripolitza The plant grows to a height of about four feet and Its branches are thickly covered with small leaves and studded with tiny seeds The entire plant stalk and branches Is cut within a few inches of the root and laid out In the sun to dry The branches are then rubbed to separate the seeds and these in turn are ground into a fine powder which constitutes the drug The drug has the power of inducing sleep and producing pleasant and fantastic dreams Continued use of hasheesh renders its devotees wild and reckless and results in a complete wreck of Their mental and physical constitution For this reason the Egyptian govern ment prohibited the importation of the drug and entered into a convention with Greece to prevent its exportation from there to Egypt where the con sumers of hasheesh are very numerous The drug is practically never used in Greece but is now exported to th rious ports in England Austria and Italy and from there much doubt ultimately finds its way Egypt BRIGHT SAYINGS A Little Batch of Stories Related an Englishman to by The sultan of Turkey had sent the queen of Spain a diamond bracelet She had the stones reset inearrings and called the fact to the attention of Fuad Pasha the Turkish envoy His majesty replied Fuad will be delighted that your majesty gives an ear to what comes from Constantino ple To the same Fuad an Englishwoman impolitely said Efow many wives have you The same number as ycur husband madam said the wily Turk The only difference is that he conceals one of his and I do not When Robert Lowe married and said With all my worldly goods I thee en dow he grumbled to his wife after ward And at the time I hadnt a brass farthing Oh but my dear you forget there is your genius Lowe replied Well you cannot say I endowed you with that In a much older story Frederick the Great is represented as saying angrily to the English ambassador of the day England is now without an ally upon the continent except God Sir nugh Elliott instantly replied Yes sire but God is an ally that de mands no subsidy From Rambling Reminiscences by Sir Henry Drum mond Wolff What Might Have Been Lord Rosebery in an address at Glas gow university some years ago gave ut terance to the following Interesting speculation Had the elder Pitt when he became prime minister not left the house of commons he could doubtless have in duced George III to listen to reason introduced American representation into parliament and preserved the thir teen colonies to England The new blood of America would have burst the old vessels of the constitution and pro vided a self adjusting system of repre sentation There would have been no war of separation no war of 1S12 and finally when the Americans became a majority the empire would perhaps have moved solemnly across the At lantic and Britain become a historic shrine the European outpost of the empire The Roman Forum The Forum Romanum the first that was erected in Rome served equally for the purposes of trade and all pub lic meetings as well as for the admin istration of justice by the consuls and other Roman magistrates Later on when the fora numbered some eight een or twenty they were divided into two classes some for public meetings and the proceedings of the law courts and others for the various require ments of trade The Roman forum corresponded to the agora or market place of the Greeks and no Roman city was without this Important center of judicial political and commercial life New York American His Gratitude The Medical Record tells of a man who was cured of blindness by a sur geon remarkable for his unprepossess ing appearance When vision was fully restored the patient looked at his benefactor and said Lucky for you young man I did not see you before you operated or I would never have given inv consent Humiliation I tell you sir kissing the hand that smites you is nothing to what I saw in the hotel this morning What was that The porter blacking the boots that had kicked him last night London Telegraph Art Was that picture you just sold a genuine work of art No answered the dealer but the story I told about it was Washing ton Star A BIT TOO SHREWD On Venture In Which the Captain Overreached Himself One of Uncle Sams customs olfielals noted for his success in unmasking smugglers said the other day in a dis cussion of a customs ofiicers duties One must be shrewd but not too shrewd otherwise one overreaches oneself like Captain Harrow of Isles borough Captain Harrow of Islesborough was trading at Key West in a small vessel Business took him up the coast to Tampa bay and he bought twenty dozen chickens from a farmer at 4 a dozen The chickens were all sizes some a lew uays oiu aim no Digger man ca nary birds some fat and large like turkey gobblers The captain expect ed to make a lot of money out of them He was very shrewd at a trade Well at Key West a hotel man came aboard and looked the chickens over They are fine birds he said How much If you pick them out yourself said Captain Harrow shrewdly Ill have to charge you G a dozen If 1 pick them out I can let you have them for All right You pick them out said the hotel man Captain Harrow picked out a dozen chickens of the canary bird size Here you are twelve prime broil ers he said with a leer Go ahead said the hotel man calm ly another dozen The next dozen was of necessity larger Go on said the hotel man Keep on picking them out And the third dozen was larger still The captain looked at his patron anx iously The next dozen was fine and plump and the next comprised the biggest and fattest of the chickens Keep right on picking them out captain Then at last Captain Harrow saw how he had overreached himself The hotel man bought his whole lot of chickens at 3 and thus the captain lost on the speculation 20 in cash to say nothing of feed and labor Cin cinnati Enquirer THE WORLD DRYING UP Possibility That the Human Race Will Die of Thirst We are to die of thirst Compara tively few persons know the suffering involved in a thirst for which there is no help at hand The consuming thirst more than the pain of any wound makes the battlefield a hell Yet death by thirst is the doom forecast for the race by grim scientists Geologists find that the fresli water supply of the globe is failing They have data Avhich point to the gradual withdrawal of the streams and other bodies of water from the surface Both in Africa and central Asia and indeed in all the great levels the water beds are drying up A great number of lakes well known in the historical age have en tirely disappeared For example Lake Chiroua in Africa has vanished with in recent years as has also Lake Xgamj discovered by Livingstone Lake Tchad is more than half dried up For centuries bodies of water in central Asia have been evaporating and the deserts extending Where 2000 years ago great cities stood in east Turkestan there are found only vast and depressing stretches of sand The river Tariin once a principal Asi atic route is almost gone and Lob Nor formerly four times the area of Lake Geneva is now but a shallow marsh The same sad conditions are noted in European Russia Novgorod the most pushing city in the czars dis tracted realm was surrounded by wa ter in the middle ages While we may be sure that the fate which the geolo gists suggest for humanity is very far away the facts recited to show the drying up process are convincing proofs of the need of preserving our forests with more care St
