JUSTICE A TRAVESTY.
Wo Cnang also lsshss the administra-
ton of justice in England. He asserts
that the real cause OF bad deeds is ig-
nored. The poor woman caught jump

upon whom the magistrate perhaps

SHAM RELIGION.
Wo Chang also has a fling at sham re-
ligion. One Of the sayings of the New
Testament is. mo man can serve two
masters" But the sham religious teach
ing of England enables hosts OF church
goers to perform a fact infinitely more
remarkable. Not a few Christians serve
not only a master, but a mistress; they
serve Mrs. Grundy six days in the week

At the same time he has some satiri-
