The Jananeae Do Not Use Onium.

The Japanese, unlike their Chinese neighbOrs, have a horror of opium smoking. In Japan it is a crime, pun ishable by heavy fine and long inn prisonment. It is crime to sell opium or smoking apparatus, and the only places where the drug can be purchased or where person may smoke are on the foreign reservations under the protection of a foreign flag. The opium dens in Yokohama, Kobe, Nagasaki and other cities are all found in the German, French and English concessions, where the Japanese have no jurisdiction. When the Japanese took possession of Formosa, which was ceded by China to Japan as part of the price of peace, they found serious problem in the natives and Chinese residents, who are numerous
 After the trial of various methods the government has finally adopted a rather novel policy to repress and regulate the vice. It requires every opium smo- ker to purchase license from the gov ernment by the payment of fee and permits indulgence in the vice within certain limits of the oity, which will result in the colonization of opium smokers. Physicians and druggists alone are permitted to buy and sell the drug, and they are required to take out licenses and pay heavy fees for the priv ilege. Any violation of this law is pun ished by imprisonment with hard labor for term not exceeding 16 years or a fine not exceeding 5000 yen.
