THE POPPIES OF SLEEP
THE INDIAN LEGEND OF THE
WHITE POPPY AND OPH'M,
California Poppy—Ceres'* Flower to
Soothe Grief—Poppy iu Art—Legend
of Oplnm Enipretm Carlottn**
Choice.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
"Pleasures are like poppies spread;
You seize the flower, the bloom is shed."
How many and great are the seeming
contradictions of nature! Somehow we
associate the poppy with the lotus eaters
end their "drowsy land of dreams,’ and
naturally so, because its rich sensuousness
of coloring and the soothing effects of its
product—opium—are distinctly Oriental
attributes.
Therefore, at first sight. Burns, singing
as he plows the breezy upland lea. seems
to have overstepped his own limits and to
have called to vivid poetic fancy the ex
otic scenes and sights of unknown East
ern lands.
Not so, however; for though bleak and
rugged Scotland may not compare with
the tropical overgrowth of India, we yet
find the glorious poppy in every home and
strath, and when fields ore ripening to
gold around Thrums, or in the Lothians
and Ayrshire, the scarlet poppies and pim
pernels o'ertop the grain. Thus the story
of the goddess Ceres crowned with beard
ed barley and wheat intermingled with
poppies is made visible to every Senti
mental Tommy and village schoolboy.
California Poppy.
Here in America, in spite of varied
clime, fertile soil and vast acreage, the
poppy does not flourish. Nature, who
has blessed and carpeted our fields and
woods with such beauteous gifts—from
the pure classic morning glory of the
North to the sensuously suggestive Pas
sion flower of the South—withholds the
poppy from our Eastern eyes.
Only when we reach California and the
Western states do we find Indigenous va
riety of the plant.
It grows freely in our gardens, and per.
haps like the sparrow, might make Itself
rapidly at home, were some farmer of
aesthetic taste to sow Its seeds amidst
his grain.
The crop of poppies that sprang up af
ter the slaughter of Waterloo excited the
■wonder of Europe, and we think of Per
sia, where the tulip is born from the wine
cup emptied In s lent thought of tie dead,
and where guests come hack 1 1 hospit
able scenes as flowers, "star Scattered
■midst the grass.’ If the blood of heroes
produced anew Waterloo, what of our
own sacred Gettysburg? Surely, of the
Blue and the Gray such flowers might be
bor !
But the story of the poppy Is soothing
rather than exciting, a story of days and
years when the terms rush and bustle
and hurry wire not entered In the dic
tionaries, because unknown Iu life.
Pleasant as well as profitable for us,
when in hammock under the trees on a
hot summer day, to watch the flaming
poppy bed as it seems to lull us into
temporary oblivion of all discomforts.
Sorrow and sadness are common to all
but the luxury of grief belongs to the
limited number. Work and duty are im
perative tyrants of our modern civiliza
tion, and to forget grief we may not have
recourse to the poppy seed of Grecian
daya.

But more than 2 years ago I had very

Eczema.
Do you know when you have eczema?
Do you itch? Is your skin rough? In
warm weather does this stinging eensetlon
increase? When you scratch do large blis
ters and sores form? Do they torment you
when you work?
Boaema is an outbreak of bad blood. A
person afflicted with eczema cannot take
undue exercise without aggravating the
Itching, or get warm In bed without feel
ing on Are. The blood is aflame with the
peculiar poison that creates the disease
and calls for a powerful alterative to re
move it. Nothing short of a BLOOD MED
ICINE will accomplish a cure.

"Sleep bringing poppy, by the plough

Not without causes to Ceres consecrate.
*•*••* •
Fairest Proserpine was rapt away,
And she in plain s the night, in tears the
days,
Had long time spent when no high power
could give her
Any redress, the poppy did relieve her.
For eating of the seeds, they sleep pro
cured,
And so beguiled those griefs she long en
dured."
Such was Grecian recipe for sorrows.
What to her was counted as righteous
ness is not even mildest virtue now.
Rather as vice does it rank, so great is
the gulf between the then and the now.
An opium eater Is distinctly a term of
reproach, and only P>e Quincev’s Confes
sions are accepted because of their ex
quisite lightness of style, combined with
fantast c conception. The vacarles of an
opium-laden brain are therein exposed
to the world, and the world in natural
curiosity loves and admires the occasion
si eccentric.
But to the Greeks, steeped In artistic'
sense and supreme in the "fitness of
things," poppy sleep was right, and so
Hyprtos (sleep), Thanatos (death) and
Nyx (night) were apparently crowned
with poppies.
The Poppy In .Art.
The pro-Raphaellte School of Art has
revived for us many conceptions of ear
lier days, and so the poppy has come
back again into a pride of place on can
vas and stained glass window.
In "Dante's Dream," painted by Ros
setti, and to be seen in the Walker Gla
lery, Liverpool, the floor seems carpeted
with popples. In the same spirit a fine
bronze tablet was recently erected in
Glasgow Cathedral to the memory of
brave Highlanders killed in the Soudanese
campaigns.
Not heather, but poppies in low relief
cover the bronze plate which Is again en
closed as if in a frame by a border of
the flowers chased and engraved.
Amidst the leaves and blossoms one
reads the names of heroes who have
crossed the portals of oblivion. Their loy
al service is ended; life's task is done;
the burden and heat of their day was
bravely borne, whilst one more tent peg
of the empire was securely driven home.
The poppies of sleep droop over weary,
aching heads forever at rest, and, like
soothing halm, such thoughts bring peace
to the mourners left behind.
The Grecian mother found comfort In
oblivion; our women find solace In rem
iniscences of the strength of purpose and
nobility of those who have passed away.
Thus we blend Hebraism with our new
ly restored Hellenism, and, whilst cleav
ing to the one, can also find sentiment and
romfort in the beauteous conceptions of
the other, and thereby comes "sweetness
und light" Into our daily lives.
But we do not yet send wreaths of pop
pies to garland the brows of our dead,
as did the Romans.
The Opium Poppy,
Even the fragile white popy Is too close

Legend of (lie Opium.
In Bengal we find a wonderful legion
as to the birth of the opium.
On the hanks of the Holy Ganga lived a
Rishl or Sage, in his hut of palm leaves.
A little mouse, timid, yet bold, was his
only companion; her lot, a happy one, un
til a cat disturbed its daily peace. See
ing her fright, the kind Rishl grants to
her the power of speech to tell her fears,
and so she begs to be changed into the
form of a cat like her cruei enemy.
Then a dog pursues the cat, and per
force she must become a dog; the chain
of persecution is only lightened, not
broken. An ape worries the dog, and as
an ape she is tossed by the boar. Change
of sex may bring strength, but cruelty
dwells not in sex, for the elephant, in
brute force, tramples the boar.
Peace and contentment have not yet
come; mayhap it will, when to ihe im
age of a beautiful maiden the sage trans
forms the mouse, and thereby expends his
powers.
Postomani or Poppye seed lady he calls
her. and she cares ror hts wants and
ministers to his needs, and is happy.
But a King conies that way and Covets
Postomani, and then pride rises in her
heart, She tells the King that Rishl
found her in ihe woods—a deserted Prin
cess—and Rishi wisely does not gainsay
her.
They are married. She Is made chief
Queen, but. alas' when standing by a well
she becomes giddy, falls in and is
drowned.
The King's grief is inconsolable, and,
at last, in order to soothe him somewhat,
the sage confesses that Postomani, the
great and beautiful, was once n tiny
mouse and royalty may not fret over the
insignlttcants in life. He advises the King
to fill up the well with earth and prophe
sies (hat from Postomanl's hones will
spring a wondrous plant, whose seeds will
bririg new power Into the earth.
Whoso smokes or swallows them will
combine Postomanl’s reincarnated na
tures. Mischievous as a mouse, fond of
milk as the cat, quarrelsome as the dog,
filthy as the ape. savage as the hoar!

SAVED BY AN AMERICAN WOMAN.
Story of nil Attnpk Near Pekin in
June Told In a Letter From Prof.
Von Ilraen.
From the New York Sun.
Berlin, July 17.—The Tagliche Rund
schau to-day publishes a letter written
by Prof, von Braen of the Pekin Univer
sity on June 6. After describing the
growth of the Boxer trouble he tells of the
barricading of the Hotel Pekin by the
foreigners on May 28, they then being of
the belief that an attack would be made
on the place. The wall surrounding the
compound of the French legation was
broken in one or two places in order to
afford a means for the women and chil
dren lo reach a refuge in the event of the
expected attack being made. Notwith
standing (he threatening outlook at the
time the members of the German embassy
continued in their belief that there was
no danger.
Finally, a number of engineers who had
been wounded in an attack by the Box
ers outside the city brought news to Pe
kin of the danger threatening the French
railway officials. The wives of the latter
and ihe Intrepid wife of the keeper of
the Hotel Pekin, an American woman,
took matters into their own hands anil
organized a relief expedition consisting
of nine persons. M. Pichon, (he French
minister, secured for the little band a
military escort from the Chinese govern
ment, and Ihe expedition started for the
relief of the railway officials.

Prof. Von Ilraen describes the anguish
of Ihe defenders of the hotel when their
information led them to believe that the
expedition had been annihilated, and that
this would give (he signal for a general
attack on the town of Chung-Hsin-Tien,
for which place the expedition was bound

o'clock in the morning and had not re
turned al 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Nu
merous rumors were heard and the worst
was feared. The defenders at the hotel
kept their guns In their hands, determined
to fight to the hitter end should they be
attacked.
Finally, at 7 o'clock in the evening the
expedition returned, having successfully
accomplished the object of its mission.
The women at the hotel were exhausted
by their long and anxious vigil, but they
and their children gleefully welcomed the
return of the expedition.
The forty -Europeans who had been at
Chang-Hsin-Tlen had fought 3CO Boxers
for two days and two nights. The expe
dition, whose moving spirit was the lion
hearted American woman, saved all of
them except five, who were killed.

claring that he fears that the safety of
the Europeans was only temporary, an

STOLEN BANKNOTES.
Incident* Following n Tlieft From
the Bnreau of Engraving and
Printing.
From the New York Evening Post.
Washington, July 17.—The statement
from secret service headquarters that ac
tive search for the thief who stole eight
blank banknotes from the Bureau of En
graving and Printing has been abandoned
calls to mind ona or two interesting inci
dents in this case. The loss of the notes
was discovered the morning after It oc
curred, when the package of sheets from
which they had been abstracted was sub
jected to a recount. Warning was at once
sent out to the national banks to look out
for eight notes lacking seal, check num
bers and signatures. In some quarters
this warning was deemed superfluous on
the ground that no well-regulated bank
would accept such imperfect notes over
its counter; but the response was that
some expert forger might make clever
representations of the seal, numbers and
signatures, and that in the haste of
handling large packages of money the
trick might pass muster. Only six of the
notes have since come to hand, but every
one of these had found its way Into a
well-regulated bank. Indeed, one of the
first was sent to the treasury by a lead
ing bank in this city, with a letter ex
plaining in a tone of premature exulta
tion that the note had been found in the
midst of a package of good ones sent to
this bank by a bank in Georgetown in
settlement of an outstanding balance.
Hardly had this letter had time to go
upon the file, however, before a second
bank in good standing in Washington
turned in another of the notes, which it
had received from bank number one, on
which the laugh now centered. The treas
ury authorities are beginning to wonder
how much good is done by notification,
after all.
Inquiries have been many, ever since the
loss of the imperfect notes, as to where
the loss falls in such cases. In this in
stance it would fall upon the govern
ment, ns the notes had not passed out of
its custody at the time of their abstrac
tion. The fact that there was no seal,
check number or signature counts for
nothing. The government had printed
upon the notes the insignia of value, and
innocent holders had been deceived there
by. The redemption division of the treas
ury department is required to redeem all
genuine notes, perfect or Imperfect, which
come into it through the regular channels.
It happens once in a while, though rare
ly, that after the government has turned
over to a bank a parcel of notes ordered
by it, some of these notes are stolen be
fore signature, or overlooked In the pro
cess of signing a large number. In all
eases where notes have actually passed
into the custody of a hank and afterward
get Into the hands of Innocent holders, the
bank Is responsible, and Its bonds on de
posit with the treasurer are held liable
as security for the redemption of the
notes. The theory of the law is thal. if
a bank docs not wish to be held respon
sible for Its notes srill in on Imperfect
stage, it should take better care of <hem.
Another point In connection with the
ease under consideration, on which some
of the newspapers seem to have been led
astray. Is the character of the ofTense
which would be charged against the thief,
or any other persons knowing of the
theft, who should pass Imperfect notes.
There has been talk about their punish!
ment under the counterfeiting laws. The
broadest definition of counterfeiting, or of
uttering counterfeit money, does not em
brace such a ease as this. All that the
thief could be prosecuted for would be
larceny, and his “pals" could be held and

Rheumatism.
Rheumatism originates from exuosa o!
acla in the blood.
Impoverished and impure blood.
It attack® different parts of tho body. It
is sometime® seated in the muse lee, some
times in the part® surrounding the joints,
and sometimes in the Joints —hence the
name muscular and articular rheumatism.
When in the hips. It is called sciatic rheu
matism; when in. the muscles of the beefc,
lumbago.
Often when one goes to rise from sitting
or stooping the sudden ‘‘catching" is so se
ver® that they some time® cry out in pain.
The feet and joints are sometimes swollen
without at first, causing any particular
pain. This symptom is sufficient. The ail
ment is getting a start on you. This is the
time to take Graybeard.
The safest euro for rheumatism is a
thorough blood cleansing.
Graybeard is a known specific for rheu
matism. It checks the formation of acid,
dissolves the acid deposit and produces a
normal and rich flow of blood. Don't hesi
tate to ask for it.
A Boy Cured.
Mrs. Hill, residing at 10y 2 w. Mitchell

who was forced to stop work on account
of a severe attack of rheumatism, and it
cured him sound and well.

Everybody who takes Graybeard tells us
they get stronger. They eet more and it
does not make them sick. This is the se

Th© first thing it does is to make you go
to eating. You will eat more than you
have eaten in months, and you will find It
will not hurt you as it used to whe-n you
ate heartily. By making you eat it makes
you stronger. It makes you stronger as

Though there are no exact statistics of

Comparing the figures of last year sup

The foreign population and the number
of foreign firms doing business in China
have thus nearly doubled since 1893, The
growth of foreign population, business en
terprise and missionary effort was un
doubtedly the largest factor tn inspiring
the present revolt. It is therefore inter
esting to observe how this growth has
been distributed among the nations It is
seen that Russia. Great Britain and the
T'nited States have had the largest in
crease In nttmlter of residents, and Japan
whose participation In Chinese enterprises
dates almost wholly from the end of her
war with China, has had the largest In
crease in number of firms.

Catarrh.
Tho mouth, throat, post-nasal cavity
bronchial tubes and air cells of the limp
are lined with a network of delicate 61ooa
vessels. When the blood Is pure th.-a
blood vessels are healthy and vigorous
and exude mucus which lubricates the ail
passages and protects them from the of.
fects of cold, dust, etc.
When the blood is impure, these vessel*
by reason of their delicate structure, ar,
unable to carry it. They become clogged,
end hence results catarrh.
Graybeard purifies the blood. Invigorate,
these small blood vessels, and enoblei
them to discharge the foul blood and rt
stores health.
Catarrh will not exist when the blood tt
pure.
Ugly Ulcers.
Dear Friends—l have been suffering a
years with an ulcer on my ankle. Borne,
times in bed, sometimes on crutches. 1
used remedies of my own and falling t,
make a cure, I edited in different physi
cians. They all said that they could cur,
me, but found it to be of a stubborn na.
ture and failed.
I saw Graybeard advertised and r bought
four bottles of it, two boxes of the pills,
one box of the ointment.
It cured me well. And I have one bottl.
left.
I say that I am well—not nearly well
but entirely well. It has been over twelvA
months and no symptoms hove returned
I hope the suffering will do as I have
use It, have fattli in It and be cured.
Mrs. JANO GEORGE. Rockvale, Term.
iclne being manufactured by friends oi
mine and knowing it to be made from pure
material of the forest, was induced to glvt
It a trial. I used it six weeks according ta
directions, and at th© end of the time I
felt as well as I ever did.

Rheumatism.
Rheumatic Swelling in the legs is cure!
by Gnaybeard.
Mrs. Joseph Brown of Butler. Ga.. was
afflicted with rheumatism. It caused her
great pain. Her statement is that her le**
swelled to unusual size. She was not able
to relieve the ailment until she procured
Graybeard. She is now' sound and well.
Acid in the blood produces rehumutism.
Nothing is half so good as Graybeard tor
rheumatism.
"My wife was afflicted four years with
rheumatism, and I was not able to fin i
anything to relieve her. She took Gray
beard about a month and seemed to be as
well as ever. It cured our lift e :on of t;ia
ailment. We cannot praise Graybeard
too much. GEO. BOOTH. ,
