These young, growing roots are almost

Whenever a valued tree is someWhsf

around the trunk, perhaps building a drv

From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
Fully 800 Chinese opium smokers. repre-
senting New England, assembled them
selves at "a oxford street last Friday night
for the purpose of finding ways to stop
the Quinn bill, which is now pending before
the general assembly. The meeting com
menced at s o'clock and lasted until
after midnight. Every member seemed to
be talking at the same time, and, conse-
quently, there seemed to be more speak
erS than listeners.
Resolutions were passed that a petition
be sent to the assembly asking that IL
Mr.. Quinn wanted a bill to pass against
the smoking of opium, an exception be
made in favor OF the Chinese communi-
ties.
There is no man under Gods creation
that knows the hardships which smokers
endure, said one of the delegates from
Hartford. IF Mr. Quinn is an intelligent
and free-minded gentleman, he should
take conscientious consideration before
he made such a law as would stop a
person from smoking when the smoker
has had the habit for thirty long years i"
We are bound to smoke, anyhow
whether we have the right or take il
for granted" said another smoker from
Providence r. i. I'VE committed the
sin before the law as made, and we are
compelled TO sin after the law is made
We must either sin or we must stop liv-
ing"
The most Interesting remarks through
out the meeting were made by Ii Sam
who came TO the convention as a repre-
sentative from New Bedford He said.

Here is little story which seems 20 IN

The secretary OF a large eastern insur-
ance company decided a short time since
that It would be better for his Office work
20 introduce half a dozen or more women
as rypewriters. operators, and assistant
bookkeepers. He had noted that OF the
feminine employees in his office the pretty
ones were the least effective and attracted
the most attention. TO the detrimeut Of the
work Of the other clerks. So he decided TO
engage only women who were OF mature
years and experience in office work. First
he advertised, stating that applicants
should give age and number Of years ex-
persence. He did not succeed in getting a
single satisfactory reply. Then he went to
a well-knOwn business college and told
the manager that he did not suppose he
would have any trouble IN aiding him. as
he did not want a young OF attractive-look
ing woman.
The manager listened 20 him while he ex-
planned his wants, and then. going 20 a
desk, took out Tile Of letters with a smile
and laid them before his visitor. There
were upwards of half hundred applica-
tons from banks and commercial institu-
tons. and every one of them. without
single exception, asked for woman of
mature age. The manager said that it was
absolutely impossible to supply the de-
mand for employees OF the description that

The Impressions Of a foreigner says the
New York Times, as 10 the American
house and its furniture were given to a
company of club persons lately, and he
quite startled the feminine portion OF his
audience by denOuncing not only me
"style" of furnishings, but the lack OF
light. He said: Your houses are kept
like dark pockets. You treat light ana air
as though they were enemies. You have
no respect for the sunbeam.
He thought the fashion for three and
four sets of window draperles a depiOrabte
one. Gloom and closeness greeted him at
every threshold. 'Parlors were darkened
and closed in at all hours of the day. as
though prepared for some funeral ser
vice. Light and air are excluded az the
sacrifice Of cheerfulness and health: II
is the fashion to seal house up, FIJI it
with perfume from eNOtics, heat II TO
a superlative degree, light all the gas,
and then invite crowd Of people to viii
ate the air, and take, consequently, a
Turkish bath"
our homes are 'stuny," rooms are over
crowded by useless furniture, sunlight
positively refused admittance, and fresh
air an almost unknown quantity in the
fashionable drawing room. This is the
picture he drew of the general home
the modest home Only in the mansions
where space was plenty did he find that
he could breathe without feeling a sensa-
tion of fatigue and oppression.
His judgment cannot be said to be far
from just. The modern ethics" OF the
conventionally appointed and managed
house saVors too truly OF the parsimOniOus
principles of Aunt Becky who declared
she'd rather die than fade her Sunday
meeting bunnlt." and so always stayed
home when the sun shone and IL by
chance she was caught out when the
sun blazed down upon her benighted head,
she'd take the shady side of the street
10 save the color. Her house was, of
course, a dark pocket"
To spare the fading OF tapestries and
best furniture Is only too often the rea-
son for dark, unlighted rooms our good
intentions frequently prove prosecutions
TO innocent victims. Men coming in from
fresh air and bright light walk straight to
the windows and raise the shade, push
back and disarrange draperes, and by
their maDnish interpretation of pretty
effect set the feminine hair and temper
on end sometimes, but there is a lesson
for health and happiness in this same
trait.

TACOMA, WASH, Dec. 5.-The Canadian
government has let q contract for the csr,
rying Of mails from Juneau, In Alaska, to
Forty Mile Greek, which is also In the ter
ritory always claimed by the United
States, but which Canada is now asserting
claim to. 1t Is asserted that for foreign
country to let contract for the transmits
sion Of mails into the territory OF another
government is practically unheard Of in
international affairs 1t would seem that
1t would only mean that the Dominion Of
Canada, Great Britain's dependency, IL
bound to uphold at all hazards her claim
to that strip Of territory extending from
and taking In Juneau TO the rich gold
fields Of the Yukon river.
The Canadian government thus executes
q coup d'etat in establishing communities
tion with the Yukon country, the United
States having no postal service there, and
the miners now pay private carriers dol
lar letter for carrying the mail. This
move, following the Canadian govern
ment's sending OF q detachment Of mounted
police to Forty Mile, Is taken as clear in
dfcation Of that conntry's discrimination
to possess the disputed territory.

LITTLE ROCK, Dec. 5.-Further details
of the reported wholesale poisoning of ne
groes near Texarkana have been received
here. Up to the present time twelve deaths
have occurred, and as many more are In q
precarious condition. The negroes of the
community are superstitious and Ignorant,
and do not believe that the deaths are the
results of poison or disease, but that 1t is
pestilence visited upon them by God. So
strong is this belief fastened upon them
that they refuse medical treatment The
doctors say the deaths are the results of 10
grippe in violent form, and that there il no
poisoning. The disease Is spreading, and
unless the negroes can be induced to take
the medicine many more are likely to die
before the epidemic is stopped.
