CHINA AND
Impossibility of Introducing ideas Into
That Country.

ImpossibiIity of Introducing Ideas Into
That Country.
1t appears strange to us that, when
railroads and machinery are so useful
to us, any one in China can be SO
stupid as to fight against their intro
duction. But what Ices the introduce
ton of our civilization and our ma
chinery mean to the Chinaman? 1t
means that their population will be re-
duced by at least $4,000, 900. They say
if railways, gas works and machinery
are introduced it will throw a lot of
land out of cultivation. American and
European travellers on visiting China
are shocked at the filth which is APP
parent everywhere. Their nostrils are
outraged by the nauseating odors.
They say that the Chinese have no
idea at all of decency, cleanliness or
sanitation; that our modern system OF
sewers has no existence in China. The
Chinese on their part look upon the
waste of our sewerage system as crimi-
nal folly. The quantity of nitrogene-
GUS matter that is discharged by b
London sewers would make a whole
province in China rich. If the Chinese
should introduce our sewers and our
sanitary appliances into their country
one-half of the Cinnamon would die OF
starvation during the next ten years.
England can enjoy the luxury of san1-
tary appliances and still prosper, be-
cause England lives on other nations.

men had to be raised in England it is
very evident that it would not do to
allow any organic substance to go to
waste. We should have to do exactly
as the Chinaman does. But England
itself is a comparatively small country
and obtains the greater part of her
food supply by dealing with other and
larger countries. 1t is necessary that
the food should come from some
where; some one has to raise it, and
as England is a small country there is
no trouble in finding sufficient food for
her population. But would such a
thing be possible in China? If the
Chinese should adopt western civil ia
ton and should only be able to pro-
duce as much off their land as is pro-
duced, say in France or England, she
would very soon run short of food, and
being the most populous country in the
world it would be eventually quite inn
possible for her to draw an adequate
food supply from foreign countries. 1t
might be said that as far as food sup
ply and giving employment to a great
number of workers is concerned the
Chinese system of civilization has
been intensified to the highest posi-
BILE pitch, and the population of China
is so numerous at the present time
that this high state of skill and cult
walton is only barely sufficient to sup
port the population. Therefore /
would appear that any interference
from outside nations in the interna
economy of the country can only di'
minish the food supply and lead to the
most deplorable condition of affairs

How to Ward OF the Grip.

At the last meeting of the Paris
Academy of Medicine, the doctors
busted themselves with discussing how
to cure influenza. On only one thing
did they all agree and that is that there
is no specific cure for the grip. DIR.
Hubbard, however, used what he called
not a cure, but a simple curative treat
ment." 1t is merely quinine, either in
sulphate or bromide compounds. He
said he was distrustful of the new
tangled remedies, particularly of anti
pyrine in any form. Dyspepsia is the
royal road to influenza. To warm on
the germ of the grip he favored the use
of certain antiseptics.

the worlds consumption OF American
cotton for the past two seasons, which
he puts ut II ,022, coo for lSS9-lY0O, and
1O,768, 900 for 1S9S-lS99. He quotes u
dispatch to him from MIR. Thomas
Ellison, at Liverpool, the distinguished
statisticiun, In which that authority
places tho surplus mill stock in Europe,
OF all kinds OF cotton, at the close Of
August, 1900, at $40, 600 bales SC, 900 of
which he credits to tho mills Of Great
Britain and 450, 900 to those of the CON
tinen:. OF these totals MIR. Ellison ap.
proximates the English mills hold

mills 332 900. Mr. Hester makes the

proxlmately thore are l34 900 bales OF
Old cotton now left over in the South

Southern mills, and apprOXimates the
actual growth at 9,10l 900. He gives
