CURSE OF OPIUM IN CHINA.
People Who Become Confirmed Smokers
1.-Two Ten yenr. on nm Average.

"Seven-tenths of the people of China

who has spent twenty-five years of his
life in the Flowcry Kingdom.
This habit is rapidly growing, " he
went on sit is confined to no class
or sex, but men and women, officials
and coolies, use it alike. As soon as
opium smoking becomes a confirmed
habit with Chinese coolie he knows
that he has about ten years to live.

drunkards, than an opium smoker,
Place them behind iron bars if you
like, and after being imprisoned u
short time they begin to beg and plead
for opium. They rave like maniacs,
and their sufferings are terrible to be-
hold They act like wild men.
''The opium vice is running China,
The people know it and the govern
ment knows it, but they take no action.
In twenty-five years it has increased
80 per cent Fertile fields that were
once used in the cultivation Of rice are
now growing the opium weed. The
provinces in Northern China where the
terrible famine occurred few years
ago, and where thousands perished fol-
want of food had for years been given
over to the production of opium in
stead of food grains. When food was
short the people learned they could
not live on opium, so they starved to
death.
"a parallel to the suffering during
that famine is hardly equaled by any
event in the history of the world.
Human beings died in the streets oil
villages and on the roads. People
turned cannibals Some dug up roots
and others were found on the roadside,
where they had died biting the bark
off the trees, The dead were not bur
led for the living had all they could dc
to take care of themselves.

Cause of Death by lightning.

The cause of death by lightning is
the sudden absorption of the electric
current When thunder cloud
which is highly charged with posi-
tive electricity hangs over any
certain place the earth beneath it
becomes abnormally charged with
the negative electric current, and q
man. animal or other object standing
or lying directly beneath also par
takes of the last mentioned influence.
If, while the man, animal or other
object is in this condition, dis
charge takes place from the clouds
above, the restoration of tho equili-
brium will be sudden and violent;
or, in language that we can all
understand, the negative current
from the earth will rush up to join
the positive cloud current, and in
passing through the object which
separates the two currents, If it be
an animate being, will do so with
such force as to. almost invariably
produce instant death

Even their shop signs are carefully
adapted to the character OF the wares

Some OF the names are pretty, some
odd and grotesque; some have an in.

its application is unfailingly good.

Descended From tho proph...

Emir is not properly title, but a
descriptive word. Correctly used, 1t
is applied only to descendants of the
prophet, all Of whom are styled Emir,
Just as the title honorable is applied
to the people of certain rank by
birth in England. Emirs are now
found among Turkish and Arab peo-
pie of certain rank and class in
life. Every one who can prove his
descent from the prophet is entitled
to wear green in some portion of his
costume, the turban being usually
chosen for this sign of rank The
claim to tho title is considered far
more satisfactory where traced back
through the female ancestry.

Baliol, embalmed upon hor breast
Lovely in their lives, in death they
are not divided. Tho crumbling ma
sonry is still and must cverbe a ro-
nance in its symbols Of death and
decay, telling every day, as 1t has
for 600 years, the thrilling story Of
a woman's teuder love and devotion.
