London Standard., The Betel ut. , The use.pf the betel nut among the J r Hindoos of India is declared to be al-, most general! The .nut grows .'on a tall palm. ?t Before being chewed it 'is wrapped, in afbetel leaf, which grows on a vine and has nothing more to do wren tne oetei nut than ao with strawberries. The chewing oi the nut increases the flow of saliva, and as the resultant juices are red. it .. . .. makes the chewer annarentlv nnif .' 7 blood. Many( of the public buildings in India are painted red keveral feet from the ground, so that the expecto rations of the betel nut chewers will not be so noticeable. . The devotees of the betel-nut chew. ing habit claim to derive . much com. fort and enjoyment from it without any deleterious effects. The Mohame tan religion ' condemns spirits,, and Brahminism forbids anything that in toxicates or stupefies. No great re ligion condemns the betel nut, and it may be used by alL No European'ha ever been known to acquire the habit, and its soothing effects, if such it hasi affect only the Hindoo constitution. The nut is' used as an ingredient in a popular "tooth-powder, and it is said to harden the gums. It has no furthei utility except in India, where' it ii grown in immense quantities purely tj be chewed. ' ".' - "Unlucky" Opals. It is not "fashionable, to be super stitious about .wearing opals..
