Says an exchange: ~Weaving was prac-
ticed in China more than 200 years before it
was known elsewhere AS nearly as can be
ascertained everything of any importance
originated in China thousands of years be-
fore the rest of the world knew about it, In
Guiding philosophy and religion. China was
wonderful country 9ons ago. There must
have been some smart people there in those
days. Wonder what became of them. Chi
nese humanity of the nineteenth century
vintage hardly knows enough to pound sand.
Centuries ago the empire of China bIossomed
and went to seed. The rafting of her dry
pods is now making altogether too much
noise in the world. For a country that once
knew it all-whose intellectually was so
heavy that it bagged at the knees-China to-
day presents the most remarkable case OF
national paresis known to history. 1t may
be the effects of opium; 1t may be the result
of fatty degeneration of individual
think tanks; but, at all events. China
is not, by large majority, the
vast intellectual reservoir that her
latter-day people claim she was once upon a
time. The most formidable rivals of modern
art, literature and invention appear TO have
fiourished on Chinese soil some millions OF
years ago. The gall of these modern rat
eaters is only equaled by their modern stu
ic t7tta liz
able to substantiate its historic claims for
universal ability by the first scintilla of evil
dence agreeing with the law Of incredibly.

Now that New York has issued an ulti-

The most efficacious way to smoke Wood

This is about the only service the mugwump
