If the host offers you the opium-pipe with three fmgers of his left hand and two fingers of 

 lis right hand, you ought to receive the pipe in your clasped hands. 



If the host says the following quatrain : 



On the couch is a spot of red; ( 3 ) 



Two dragons ( 4 ) sleep on the sides. 



The great gun ( 5 ) sounds over the mountains; 



But it shoots only the king of the Tartar dynasty.

$(& Ö if^p , This is one of the songs mentioned on pag. 29. One of the 

 members begins with the first line, the next one takes the second, and so on. The whole quatrain is, 

 in this way, woven in the conversation so that nobody, who is not initiated, can understand it. The 

 Ash-drinkers (téphrapotes) had similar signs to recognize each other. So one brother said : O di fesa di 

 Dio ! and the other answered: PercJie pur giaci? //Oh! justice of God! why doest thou sleep?" which 

 is a line taken from the 27th Canto of the Paradise. (Kevue des Deux mondes, 1 Aug. 1863).
