Effects of Opium Smoking 1 .
I made a point of watching the ef¬
fect of the successive pipes on myself
carefully, says a writer in the Pall
Mall Budget. As before, the first pipe
had no effect at all; after the second
pipe I was beginning to perspire gent¬
ly, and the skin was soft and relaxed.
I smoked five pipes one after the other
and fancied that the action of the heart
was slightly depressed; but beyond
this I felt nothing whatever. After I
had left the place about a quarter of
an hour I began to find that the opium
was taking effect. My limbs felt as if
they did not belong to me; I could
control them, but they seemed to be a
part of someone else. My brain seem ed
quite clear and very active, but I be¬
came aware that it was doing the
thinking on its own account; I could
nbt govern or direct the chain of my
thoughts, which proceeded in the most
grotesque order, the most irrelevant
ideas following one another, and get¬
ting mixed up with the ideas called up
by external surroundings. My sight,
too, was affected} I fancied there wt.s
a very faint haze over everything, and
it seemed as if the power of adjustment
was lost, and size and distance were
difficult to determine. I had slight
hallucinations, also. For instance, I
was, for a moment, certain that a cen¬
tipede, .about four or five inches long,
with a chain round it, was walking up
my leg; at the same time I know it
was only a vision, and that it arose
from my having seen during the day a
man in the street selling one of the
reptile toys which run along and are
held by a string. Soon after I found
the greatest difficulty in keeping my
eyes open, though my brain was still
abnormally active; this passed off and
I felt no ill effects of any kind, and I
may mention that next morning I had
neither headache nor the least feeling
o£ discomfort of any kind.

Ginger.
Some particulars regarding ginger,
which grows well enough in Florida to
entitle it to a place in all gardens and
1 ornamental grounds, are given in the
Confectioner's Journal as follows:
This is the fleshy root of the Zingi¬
ber Officinale, a native of the Indies.
The appearance of the plant is some¬
thing similar to that of the lily of the
valley, growing about two feet high.
Its cultivation is very easy, the root
being taken up when the stems are
withered; it is then scalded in order
to kill it, and afterwards dried in the
sun. Of the different varieties the
best known is unbleached Jamaica.
The syrup from the imported East In¬
dia preserved ginger is very useful as
a liquor and for flavoring purposes.
The qualities of ginger depend very
largely on a pale yellow volatile oil,
lighter than water, called oil of ginger
(Oleum Zingiberis). The essence can
be made by bruising or grating half a
pound of Jamaica ginger root, one
ounce of the grated rind of lemon peel;
put these in a bottle and cover them
with sufficient spirits of wine; cork up
tightly and in a week or ten days it
will be ready for use; or put two
ounces of well bruised or grated Ja¬
maica ginger, quarter of a pint of
spirits of wine and one drop of essence
of Cayenne pepper.
A NEW ENGLAND MIRACLE.
A RAILROAD ENGINEER RELATES
HIS EXPERIENCE.
* -
THE WONDERFUL STORY TOLD BY FRED C. VOSE
AND HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW TO A RE¬
PORTER OF THE BOSTON HERALD—
BOTH ARE RESTORED AFTER
YEARS OF AGONY.
[From the Boston Herald.]
The vast health-giving results already at¬
tributed by the newspapers throughout this
country and Canada to Dr. Williams’ ‘‘Pink
Pills for Pale People” have been recently
supplemented by the cases of two confirmed
invalids in one household in a New England
town. The names of these people are Fred
C. Vose, his wife and his mother-in law, Mrs.
Oliver C. Holt, ofPeterboro, members of the
same household.
To the Herald reporter who was sent to
investigate his remarkable cure Mr. Vose
said: “lam thirty-seven years old, and have
been railroading for the Fitchburg for fifteen
years. Since boyhood I have been troubled
with a weak stomach. For the past seven
years I have suffered terribly and constantly.
My stomach would not retain food; my head
ached constantly and was so dizzy I could
scarcely stand, my eyes were blurred; I had a
bad heartburn, and my breath was offensive. I
had physicians, but they failed to help me.
My appetite gave out, and four years ago I
developed palpitation of the heart, flfhich
seriously affected my breathing. Had ter¬
rible pains ii my back and had to make
water many times a day. I finally developed
rheumatic signs and couldn’t sleep nights.
If I lay down my heart would go pit-a
pat at a great rate, and many nights I did
not close my eyes at all. I was broken
down in body and discouraged in spirit when,
some time in February last, I got a couple
of boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Be¬
fore I had finished the first box I noticed
that the palpitation of my heart, which had
bothered me so that I couldn’t breathe at
times, began to improve. I saw that in go¬
ing to my home on the hill from the depot,
which was previously an awful task, my
heart did not beat so violently the and I had
more breath *vhen I reached house.
After the second and third boxes I grew bet¬
ter in every other respect. My stomach
became stronger, the gas belching- was not
so bad, my appetite and digestion improved,
and my sleep became nearly natural and un¬
disturbed. ;i have continued taking the pills
three times a day ever since last March, and
to-dav I am feeling better than at any ti me
during the last eight years. I can confi¬
dently end conscientiously say that they
have done me more good, and their good ef¬
fects are more permanent, than any medi¬
cine I have ever taken. My rheumatic pains
in legs and hands are all gone. The pains
in the small of my back, which were so bad
at limes that I couldn’t stand up straight,
have nearly all vanished, and I find my kid¬
neys are well regulated by them. This is an
effect not claimed for the pills ,in the circu¬
lar, but in my ease they brought it about. I
am feeling 100 per cent, better in every shape
and manner.”
The reporter next saw Mrs. Holt, who said :
“I am 57 years old, and for 14 years past I
have had an intermittent heart trouble.
Three years ago I had nervous prostration,
by which my heart trouble was increased so
badly that I had to lie down most of the time.
My stomach also gave out, and I had con¬
tinual and intense pain from the back of my
neck .to the end of my backbone. In 14
weeks I spent $300 for doctor bills and medi¬
cines, but my health continued so miserable
that I gave up doctoring Pink in despair. I winter, began
to take Dr. Williams’ Pills last
and the first box made me feel ever so much
better, I have taken the pills since February,
with the result of stopping region entirely of the the liver. pain
in the spine and in the
My stomach is again normal, and the palpi¬
tation of the heart has troubled me but three
times since I commenced Williams’ the pills.” Pink Pills

ABSOLUTES PURE
A Relic of the Eocene Period.
Professor Cope of Philadelphia has a
creature which all naturalists are unan¬
imous in pronouncing the first repre¬
sentative of the hoofed animal species.
The animal is not alive, neither is it
entire so far as flesh and blood are
concerned, but to the paleontologist,
who cares only for the fossiled bones,
the specimen is perfect. It is not lar¬
ger than a yearling calf and not near¬
ly so tall, and was found in the Wind
river country in Wyoming. Professor
Cope named it Phenacodus primsevus
when it was first discovered, giving it
as his opinion that it was akin to a
specimen which was found several
years ago in France (the paleotherum),
and which gave Cuvier and the other
naturalists so much trouble to classify.
At the time of the discovery of the
French specimen the savants of Europe
decided that it was the ancestor of
“hoofed critters,” but the Wind river
fossil, which is easily distinguished as
being a type of the same, is believed
to be much more ancient, Cope’s
curiosity was found in rocks belong¬
ing to the eocene period, and the time
when it grazed on the western prairies
has been placed as far back as 500,000
years. Every bone is perfect and in
place, and the specimen could not be
purchased for §10,000.— St. Louis Re¬
public.
Easy to Be Happy.
Mrs. Nexdoor—“Aren’t you always
worried half to death when it comes
to buying a Christmas present for
your husband?”
Mrs. Sunshine—“My! no! I buy my
husband something I want foe myself,
and he buys me something he wants
for himself, and then we trade.—

Where Lightning Strikes Twice.
During the last seven years five
horses have been killed by lightning
on a single knoll on the French
farm, which lies on the road lead¬
ing from Flint to Flushing, Mich.,
and nearly every tree on the same farm,
is said to bear the marks of the “fork¬
ed fury.” An open lot at East Great
Plains, Conn., has been “hit by thun¬
derbolts,” as an old resident of that
place expresses it, 11 different times
since the spring of 1887, and apiece of
woods not more than a half a mile
away has been literally riddled by the
electric shots. At West Heath, Mass,
a hill near the village schoolhouse has
been struck by lightning so often that
the old settlers have tried to keep a
record of the singular occurrences.
