May it not be fro)n sheer weariness .nd want of something•to do that many Chinese take to the opium pipe? In most places in China organized gambling is fiarbidden. With the exception of an co- oastonal game at shuttlecock or kite- /lying—only at fixed seasons—there are no outdoor sports. The Chinese rarely walk for pleasure. There is no social in- tercourse between respectable man and women. There is not sufficient house room, privacy or light for reading after dark. How is time to be killed? I think that the monotony of existence may be one of the chief pauses of opium smok- ing. On the whole, though, at Canton, I Was in contact with opium smokers al- most daily, and made a point of seeing as muoh as possible of native life, the seamy side of opium smoking did not ob- tru a itself muoh upon me. Just as in an English ooast town, one may dally see the flaring light of the gin palace, the besotted faces of occasional loafers, the bedraggled garments, and infer there- from great misery behind it all, so one might fairly infer great mtiery item the spectacle of nitre tie opfum dens, ea- davorons faces and tatterdemalion gar- ments in Canton, if one should see them, but I did not see them obtru- sively, though, as I said before. I was daily poking my nose into all sorts of nooks and corners. Naturally, a metrical missionary will see a great deal more of the seamy side. It is his business. A Sparrow Stole the Toy BgltoeD, Where the cable oars stop to take hreath, near the Center street tofincoln park, a toy balloon a shall boy, a sparrow and a fond mother stopped traflo and nearly precipitated a riot the other afternoon. The mother was dozing under a greenwood tree just inside the park, with the boy only a few feet away playing with the balloon. Sud- denly the balloon escaped and stopped under the branch of a tree. It was just high enough up for the string to be be- yond reach. A orowd began to form at once and in five minutes hundreds were orowdlng around the tree, looking for something in the branches. Men tried to reaoh the balloon by climbing on eaoh other's_shoulders. Every one was making suggestions, and half a dozen controversies were In full operation when a sparrow flew into a tree. It j otloed the string dangling from the balloon and eelzed it and started west. Instantly fifty men started in pursuit, and the small boy began to scream. The men forgot the orowd in the excitement of the phase and trampled on a job lot of Leet In a way that brought about a row that had to be quieted by the police. The bird, when last seen, was still toying with the balloon and trying to weave 1t into a'nest above the entrance to an adjtwent betel. ' No More Crying Babies. Though the sound of a baby's prying Is never agreeable music even to the most devoted mother, it has been held for centuries that this was an affliction from which there was no escape. It Las remained for the very new women who ars In charge of a well-known New York nursery to discover that an infant's soreams are wholy superfluous in a well - regulated home. This is the method by which discontented babies are persuaded to hold their peace: As seen as a child begins to cry the nurse catches 1t up, holds it gently and places her hand over Its nose and mouth so that It oannot I HAVEHAD Rheumatism for years, and Nervilino is the cooly remedy that bas done me any good."

Nerviline is sold by dealers every- where. THE HONG KONG PLAGUE, Chinamen Demist the Efforts of Europeans to Save Them From the Plague. European physicians who have had ex- perience in China during epidemics, have been obliged to combat many stub• born prejudioes of the natives. In 1894 the plague attacked Hong Kong about the middle of May. From fifty to a hun- dred deaths occurred daily. From the first, the Chinese strongly objected to the removal of their siok to European hospitals. They did not understand the necessity of segregation. They preferred to die in their unclean surroundings among friends, than to accept the ohanoe ofd lowly r000vory at a hospital, The devices to which the Chinese re- sorted to conceal the slok trona swelling parties, were many and ingenious. A system of Tiouselo-house visltatfon bad to be organized to overcome the danger ons secretiveness of tho Cht_nese. The effort of the nlemising and disinfecting staff -were rendered alnaost futile by the dislike of the native* to sanitary preoau- tione. The epldemlo uapsea 9,660 deaths before it ceased In early September. The necessity of burying the dead in common graves was a great shoat to the feelings of the natives, and finally led to open rebellion. Conaesslone had to be made to the ignorant and desperate Celestials and the presence of Chinese medical attendants in the European Hos- pital was permitted. Chinese to the num- ber of 100,000 left Hong Kong while the plague was raging. Their demand that their plague -stricken relatives be allowed to accompany them, was, of oonrse, not granted. Of the. .Chinese patients who were attacked by the epidemic, only 18 per cent. recovered, while 82 per cent. of the Europeans afflicted were restored to health. Advantages of the Cow Pea. (1) It is a nitrogen gatherer; (2) it shades the soils In summer, keeping them in a condition most suitable to the most rapid "nitrification" and leaves them friable and loose in the best condition for future crop; (8) it has a large root development, and hence pumps up from great depths and large areas the water, and with it the mineral matter needed by the plant; (4) its adaptability to all kinds of soils, stiffest plays to most porous sands, fertile alluvial bottoms to barren uplands; (6) it stands the heat and sunshine of Southern summers; (6) its rapid growth enables the farmer in the south to grow two crops a year on the same soil; (7) if sown thickly, will, by its rapid growth and shade, effectually smother all weeds and thus serve as a cleansing crop; (8) it is the best prepara- tory crop known to the Southern farmer, every kind of crop grows well after it; (9) on the alluvial lands of Mississippi bottoms it serves to pump off excessive water, evaporating It through its great foliage, thus keeping the soil in a condi- tion for most rapid nitrification during the entire growing season; (10) it fur- nishes a most excellent food In large quantities for both man and animals. With all of these advantages 1t is no wonder that it is caled the "clover of the South," and were it used regularly throughout the South as one of the crops 'n a regular but short system of rotation, the soils of this section would soon rival in fertility "heir primitive conditions.

CURES Letters co• me day by day telling us that this person has been cured of dys- pepsia, that person of Bad Blood, and another of Head- , ache, still another of Biliousness, and yet others of various complaints of the Stomach, Liver, Bowels or Blood, all through the intelligent use of Burdock Blood Bitters. It is the voice of the people recog- nizing the fact that Burdock Blood Bitters cures all diseases of the Stomach, Liver, Bowels and Blood. Mr. T. G. Ludlow, 334 Colborne Street, Brantford, Ont., says* During seven years prior to 1886, my wife was sick all the time with violent headaches. Her head was so hot that it felt like burning, up. She was weak, run down, and so feeble that she could hardly do anything, and so nervous that the least noise startled her. Night or day she could not rest and life was a misery to her. I tried all kinds of medicines and treatment for her but she steadily grew worse until I bought six bottles of Burdock Blood Bitters from C. Stork & Son, of Brampton, Ont-, for which I paid $s.00, and it was the best investment I ever made in my life. Mrs. Ludlow took four out of the six bottles— there was no need of the other two, for those four bottles made her a strong, healthy woman, and removed every ail- ment from which she had suffered and sheenjoyed the most vigorous health. That five dollars saved me lots of money in medicine and attendance thereafter, and better than that it made home a comfort to me. A Smart Young Man. One day a smart young fellow with shiny shoes,a new hat, and checker board trousers boarded a street car in a western pity, and stepped to the front platform. He pulled out a twist of paper and lighted it and began puffing a concen- trated essence of vile odors into the faces of those who wets obliged to ride upon the platform it they rode at all. One—a plain old farmer—couldn't stand it, and stepped off to wait for the next car. When he reached the station the young fellow was there before him, and it hap- pened that the two met at the restaurant counter. "Got any sandwiches?" called the young man to the waiter. "Here, gimme one." And he tossed out a nickel, and then proceeded to pick up and pull apart every one of the half dozen sandwiches on the plate before he Lound one to suit him. The farmer, who had been wafting for his turn, drew back in disgust. Fin- ally, he found something whioh the fin- gers of another had not fouled, and presently followed the loud young man to the car. He found every seat occupied including the half one on which were piled the young- man's gripsaok and overcoat. "Is this seat taken?" he ventured to inquire. "Seat's engaged,"was the curt answer, with a look meant to squelch the old farmer, who went into the smoking car. That same afternoon the same young man walked into the office of the Gov- ernor of the state, armed with recom-b rnendatlons and inducements, an appli- cant for a position under the state Gov- ernment. He was oonfronted by the same plain old farmer, who recognized his traveling companion without any trou- ble. Glancing over his papers the Gov- ernor said:— "Hu—m, yea You want me to ap- point you to so-and-so. If I should, I guess I might as well write my own resignation at the amine time." "Wh—why, so?" stammered the young fellow. "Because I saw you pay for a street oar ride this morning, and you took the platform of the car. Yon bought a sand- wich, and ' polled the plateful. Yon paid 1 for a seat s the train, and took mine too; and if I should give you this place, how do I know that you would not take the whole Administration?"—Onward. 9 might often become a certainty a 1 ge ,' number of oaees, although in my indt, 12fl' springs upon the tin pan se it vidual cage, I flatter myself it is none fit were fl of rats.
