Of people become refined and educate
to certain extent, but there =
less of solid reading and reflection
eEen1on the part of the few. Under
such conditions the association of litera-
ry minds is required to give purpose and
effect to reading. That we may not
scatter too much in reading and in the
subjects Of thought, it is desirable that
kindred minds should come together and
concentrate Thought and study upon
particular branches of literature. This
might not be desirable if literature were
less plentiful, but there is little danger
in these days that even specialist will
become narrow-minded. Try though he
may to limit his thought to single
field, the newspapers and magazines
will keep him informed about other sub
jects than the one to which he gives ser
rious study. The young folks of to-day
have greater opportunities to store their
minds with information, refine their
tastes and lay up for themselves pleas
ures that last as long as life and reason.
They can do this in measure by the
reading of good books; they can do.sit
more effectively by adding thereto ass61
citation with young people Of similar
tastes and ambitions. For the pleas
ures of literature are not transient; they
linger In the memory and are revived
by every old association, as of well-loved
books or well-loved friends. Baltimore

The Fisheries Of Lake superior.

At little Port Arthur alone the figures
of the fishing industry for the market
are astonishing. In 1883 the fishermen
there caught 500,O pounds of white
fish, 800, 900 pounds of lake trout, As, 900
of sturgeon, 10000 pounds of pickerel,
and 10000 pounds of other fish, or more
than million pounds in all. They did
this with an Investment of $500 in
boats and $40, 1000 in gill and pound nets
This yield nearly all went to a Chicago
packing company, and it is In the main
Chicago and Cleveland capital that is
controlling the lakes fisheries. The
white-fsh is, in the opinion of most
gourmets, the most delicious fish known
to Americans. The lake trout are mere
food. / am told that they are rather
related to the char than to. the salmon
They are peculiar to our inland waters.
They average FIVE to ten pounds in
weight, and yet grow to weigh 100
pounds; but whatever their weight be,
it is mere pressure of hard dry flesh,
calculated only to appease hunger

Various -Contraband Ways in which the
Costly Drug Is Imported.
Talking about opium" said James
McHale, sergeant-at-arms Of the city
council3 who was one of the special
agents of the treasury under the Cleve-
land administration, people have no
idea about the extent of opium smoking
in the United States. In 1886 there were
about {, 900 opium smokers in the coun-
try Now there are over9o, ooo.aIa twas
engaged for q long time in looking after
the opium trade exclusively and in the
pursuit of smugglers on the Pacific
coast, and I know something about the
business. The drug is imported in cases,
containing forty balls weighing from
forty-seven to fifty taels each-a total
dutiable weight of 100 pounds. These
balls much resemble the cocoanut, but
more globular in shape; the shell of the
ball, so like the husk Of the cocoanut,
is, however, artificial, mot natural like
the nut. 1t is ingeniously fabricated
from the leaves Of the poppy. Split It
in the center and the kernel (opium) is
seen filling about one-half the central
space, in color and consistency much
like coal tar, tasteless and odorless.
The opium, is taken to the refneries in
British Columbia, as none are allowed
to exist in the United States. The con-
tents of the shell, when at the refinery,
are carefully scooped out, placed in pans
and passed from furnace to furnace,
generally six, through different degrees
Of heat, appearing in various stages of
liquidity, yet sometimes as cinder un-
til sufficiently cooked 1t is then put
into five-tael tin boxes ready for sale
for smoking. 1t then appears as a syrup
of chocolate color and tasteless, but
with peculiar sweetish smell. The
shells are carefully rinsed to obtain
every particle of the opium, and are re-
shipped to be sold in China, where they
| are used with the betel nut for chew
ing. They bring from 81 to s1.25 q
pound.
.This opium is all originally from
Patria, and comes to British Columbia
from Hong Kong. The crude drug costs
in Hong Kong from $75 to 1860 a case,
according to quality The refined arti-
Gle costs the Chinese merchants 1925 a
pound. No one, as a rule, handles the
retail article but Cinnamon. The cost
of the refining article consists mainly
in the hire of three chief cooks who re-
ceive $40 month and their board.
| They are. expected to turn two and one
balls a day! If they do any additional
work they receive so cents ball. There
are number of refneries in British
Columbia
Nowhere in the world has the opium
habit grown so rapidly as in the United
states. Any well-posted official will
tell you that. At the beginning of this
century the opium habit was unknown
in China From 1889, when it was
forced into Hong Kong by British gum
boats, and especially during the last
| few decades it has increased enor.
mously. But the last five years in the
United States shows greater increase.
