society is degenerating. In enlarging on
her assertion she says IN the New York

I remember the careful training OF my

no word Of slang was permitted; the re-
spect shown to elders, the authority OF
their opinion. the bonds OF the family

Ancient Decision ON Century's End

The following discussion Of the true
ending of the eighteenth century, found
in a book of newspaper clippings, dated
1918. has recently been sent to the Lon
don Times. 1t goes to show how history
repeats itself:
At the latter end Of the year 1899 it be-
came very general subject Of argument
whether the eighteenth century expired
with the commencement of the year 1900
or with its close. Mr.. Sheridan held the
opinion that the century terminated
when the year 1900 began; his friend, Mr.
Richardson, held that it did not expire
until the night Of December 81, when the
clock had stricken twelve, and when jan
uary l, 1901, would begin. After can
wasting the matter for some time It end
ed in a wager, which was referred to
their mutual friend, Mp. Fox, who, in
his usual playful way, gave his decision
in favor OF Mr.. Richardson, though he
was himself doubtful on this chronicle
gical question, till, on being constituted
a judge between his friends, he was I'M
der the necessity of investigating the
point more narrowly.
The question submitted for his determi-
nation was couched in these laconis
terms:
"a. B. affirms that the eighteenth CEN
fury does not expire till twelve o'clock at
night on December 81, in the year 1900.
''Mr. Richardson contends for the above
opinion, which he backs with the bet of
five guineas.
'Mr. Sheridan and Mr.. Wesley bet Mr..
Richardson that he is wrong.
"R. 3. SHERIDAN
ct WESLEY.
~. RICHARDSON
att is agreed that Mr.. Fox is to decide
this bet.
II think Mr.. Richardson right.
&C. ]. FOX"
The decision was conveyed in the fol-
lowing letter:
Dear Sir: received your letter, with
its enclosure, on my return to this place
on Saturday, and have deferred answer
ing it until today, only that I might not
appear to give a hasty opinion. Indeed,
1 had so strong a prepossession that you
were in the wrong, from tie arrogant
manner in which you state the case. that
I wanted some time to enable me to be-
heve it possible that you could be in the
right; but, afterwards. searching for all
possible grounds, or even pretenses for
deciding against you, own I can find
none. Yours ever. &C. J. FOX"

people had reduced the problem OF mere
existence to science, and that many Of
the Hindoo husbands made a great fuss
whenever their wives or children ate
| more than would suffice to support life
and keep them going. In the opium dis
tricts about Patna was told that it was
common thing for parents in times of
scarcity to give bits of opium to their
children to take away their hunger or to
keep them from eating too much. This
is done in a region from which England
collects tens of millions of dollars worth
Of revenue every year. The English Gov
eminent has a monopoly of the opium
crop. It advances the seed to the opium
farmers. tells each man Just how much
land he can put in, and when his crop is
raised forces him to sell it to the govern
ment at its own price, which is always a
lions share OF the profits.
What an act of retrihutive justice we
should have if the English should lose In
dia through China. It might be looked
upon as a judgment upon the English
for forcing opium upon China it was
through the opium war that England got
its first hold on China. Its acts during
that war were the most disgraceful of
history. China begged England not to
import opium. The Emperor and the Of
fcials passed laws against the sale of the
drug, for they saw that it would become
a national evil. The consumers Of opium
were taxed and threatened with death.
Opium smugglers were seized and tor
tured, and the Chinese native dealers
were executed. The English, however,
demanded the right to sell the drug. They
did sell it against the law, and when the
Chinese coniscated 10000 chests of Indian
opium belonging to the English, England
made war with China. The British
troops shelled Canton, and in the end
forced China to pay 81 100000 Of dam
ages. AS the price of that war, these
called them, obtained possession of Hong
Kong and opened a number of great Chi
nese cities to foreign trade. They are
still selling their opium to the almond
eyed celestials, and the Chinese, through
them, have become the greatest opium
1runkards of the world. DR.. IIappsr who
was for forty-seven years a missionary
at Canton, says that nearly every we'll
furnished house in that city has its OPT |
I'm couch, and that not only China, but |
also India, is full of opium drunkards. |
It is estimated there are over 4O,OO0OOO |
persons in China who smoke opium, and |
n the city of FOochow alone there are |
ZOO registered opium dens. I was told |
hat China used over $500, 900 worth of |
opium every year, and that a great part |
# this amount is now raised Ia interior
Jhina, and within the past twenty-five
ears great poppy estates have been es-
ablished in Manchuria- The annual out
'ut of that province alone is now nearly
100000 pounds, large part of which is
hipped down into China proper.

BULL RING MANAGER
FINED FOR BAD FIGHT.
He Had to Pay $500 Because the Bulls
Were Not Game. and Things Will
Probably Be Different Hereafter

The lot of the bull ring manager is
not altogether a happy one as evil
denced by the exhibition Sunday The
managers have a contract with the
owner of one of the most celebrated
haciendas to supply bulls for the ex-
hibitions. This ranch is located some
distance away requiring a journey Of
some 200 miles by rail and 60 miles by
road. Under the terms of the contract
the bulls are to be delivered four or
five days in advance of each fight in
order for them to get rested and to re-
cover fully from the effects of the long
journey. No matter how good the
breed. a sixty mile journey on foot fol-
lowed by 200 miles by rail will take
tn courage out of the most ferocious
bull, so that the rest is absolutely
necessary in order that the bulls may
be in fit condition for the ring.
For yesterdays fight however the
contractor failed to comply with the
