This people, who before had been aggressive leaders in wars, are now living in peace. Villages which heretofore had been engaged in bitter fends became friendly. Laws and customs of the most peaceful kind were introduced, with the result that the country into which strangers hs.d never before ventured was open to alV This peaceful disposition, as also this antagonism to the shedding of the blood of animals, points t J a characteristic feature of an old oriental people. These are the Indians. The same herb which made the cannibals of Lubuku the friends of men, and which they call "bashilange," has been known to the Indians for centuries cs an intoxicant. It is the hidian hemp, In the east the intoxicant extract is made out of the blossoms and out of tie whole plant. Generally it is called "hasheesh," wldch signifies merely hemp. It i3 chewed like tobacco, or smoked as such, or the juice, called "daniaraesic," is used with sugar and almonds or wtisky. In moderate amounts the Indian hemp and its preparations have a- mild effect on the nervous system and produce a pleasant state of feeling, at any rate among tho orientals. Larger quantities produce intoxicatjn, In tho east the number of those who use tho hasheesh is computed at between 200,000,000 and 300,000,000. Physicians are not all agreed as to the effect of the drug, some claiming that it produces nausea, heart beating, dryness in the throat. Ween fully eScient,it produces the feeling of pleased intoxication and the most agreeable and pleasurable thoughts. Thereupon follows sleep, deep and dreamless, and on the following morning the pleasant visions are still real end present. That opium or alcohol eventually destroys those who use it to excess goes without saying. On tho other hand, the effect of the hemp cbcsv ing on the negro is wonderfully quieting. Wissmann mentions several African people among whom hemp smoking has teen firmly introduced a3 a habit, especially the Waniamesi. He says he is convinced that tho effect of this hemp on the negro is to make him milder and more gcntlo and to make him more accessible to the influences of civilization, although it does have to a certain extent an evil influence on tho body, which influence, however, is generally exaggerated. Most remarkable is the manner in which a "judgment of God" is secured by tho hemp smokers. Those that are accused continue tho smoking of hemp until tho guilty one is compelled to make a confession. On the other hand, tlie thieves of India use this hemp for the purpose of pursuing their work. They secretly make a hole in the house and fill it with fumes of hemp smoke. This has it3 effect on the people of the houso, and when tho thieves enter they find them in the most agreeable humor, incapable of understanding what 13 going on and even welcoming the marauders with tho most pleasant words and gestures. These statements are from the travels of Yon Libra. Then tho hasheesh smokers frequently get into a stato much resembling hypnotism, in which it i3 possible to place tho members of the body in any position and to treat tho body os though it were all made of joints. Tho similarity between hypnotie:a and tho effects f harheesh smoking is so great that Dr. voa Schrenk-Notzicf Munich made special this Bubjcct. It is well of investigation known that when a person is hypnotized a single word or threatening action suffices to throw tho subject into spasms of rago.

On one occasion after my return from an African and European cruise I was ordered to tho Portsmouth station, where we were hardly settled at housekeeping when Hawthorne came to see us. The hall was encumbered with boxes, the sight of which made him feel his visit to be inopportunek and he said quickly: "I have just come for an hour or two to see you and must return this evening." Mrs. Bridge, seeing that he was only afraid of incommoding us, at once answered: "Must you desert us wdien I need your aid in unpacking these boxes?" "Will you really lot me help you?" he asked. Her joking answer, assuring him of her pleasure in gaining a hel per so strong, both in muscle and intelligence, put him entirely at ease, and for a week he made himself useful on all possible occasions.
