4 Church Warming.

Last evening the ladies OF the
church gave reception in the new
sunday school room of the Method
lst church. The members OF the con-
sregation and their friends were in
vtied and the building was filed
with merry throng from G:3O un-
Ill 1880 O'Clock.
A very novel contest was enjoyed
All along the walls OF the handsome
room were hung silhouettes of mem
oers of the congregation. and nearly
everyone OF these shadowy likeness
es" was remarkably good. Each
guest was provided with a card and
was asked to make an attempt to
name each silhouette The game af-
forded great amusement for the en-
tire evenig. The evening program
was completed by a number of ex-
cellent musical selections and read
ings.
Light refreshments. consisting OF
waters. marguerites and fruice. were
ssrved.
The reception. or house warm
ing was one of the most brilliant
social affairs OF the winter Perhaps
TWO hundred people were enter
tanned in a manner most delightful
to all.
The new Sunday school room is
admirably suited for such pleasant
entertainments. 1t can be converted
into a beautiful reception or drawing
room with remarkable ease. The
scene presented last evening was one
OF unalloyed brightness and merry
making.

oprrMIN THE pHILIrPINEs.

The use OF opium in the Philip
pines has attracted the attention OF
the war department It was cOnsid-
cred OF enough Importance that
commission was appointed several
months ago to investigate the mat
ter Major Carter. Bishop Brent
and DR.. Albert were appointed Their
visit included Japan, China and Java,
as well as the Philippines But il
is in the latter place that We are
chiefly Interested.
IL is found that in the city Of
Manila the opium trafic is mainly
in the hands OF Chinese merchants.
These merchants keep their own Sc
crets. and would tell the commission
nothing whatever about the extent
or nature OF the traffic.
Enough is known about it. how
ever. 10 know that the use of opium
as narcotic. both in smoking and
as a dope. is rapidly spreading in
the Philippines. Opium will soon
besdoins to this pecsilii,5sTT people wnat
it has done for China. The worst
form OF degradation will be the re-
suit. and the commission urges
prompt action on the part of the
government TO prevent it.
To the oriental people. especially
those who live in the tropical re-
gions. the use OF opium seems TO
have an irresistible fascination. AS
soon as they discover the effects Of
opium they will have it even II they

get it,
The masses in China have suffered
greatly from this miserable scourge,
which was instituted in a cold
bIooded manner by the British trad
ers. No greater crime was ever
committed in the history OF civih-
zation than the crime that England
has committed in introducing opium
into China. and continuing, even by
the force of arms, to supply these
unfortunate people with this dread
tul narcotic. Millions and millions
of the Chinese. who are an indus
Lrious and sober people, through
their acquaintance with the British
have been ruined. soul and body.

government implored and protested.

1as. with eyes wide open, outraged
these semi-eivillzed nations for pure
y commercial purposes.
The same thing is going to hap
pen in the Philippines, unless some
prompt action is taken.
The commission above referred TO
recommended several methods. but
the one they gave special preference
vas a monopoly of the trade. They

the direct supervision OF the gov

This might work. We hope so.
At least. 1t would be better than
he British method. IL seems pity
that something cannot be done to
save the multItudes OF human beings

habit. Nothing on earth so COM

person as the habitual use of opium.

Not an Odious Comparison.

The head clerk had been invited tC
an afternoon wedding, and in order
to save time appeared at the office
in the morning fully "groomed' fol
the ceremony AS he threw aside his
overcoat he was disclosed in all the
majesty of a swagger frock coat OF
the latest cut. gray trousers fashion
ably creased, patent leather shoes and
white puff tie.
His position in the office made him
immune from comments by the under
lings, who, however, regarded him
with serio-comic admiration and
longed to say what they felt.
But the barrier was broken few
minutes after the days business had
begun, and by friend who dropped
in for moments chat. He was
somewhat lacking in dignity, for
which the clerks blessed him.
Good morning. George" he said
cheerily to the head clerk. Then as
ne took a second glance at the sar-
torial dream he added: Great
Scott! What's up? You look like a
certified check

What He Liked Best.

Mr.. Phillip Verrill Mighels, author OF
"Bruver Jim's Baby" has returned
only lately from visit to his old
haunts-the Western mining camps
He tells an amusing anecdote of one of
his old acquaintances, miner of more
wealth than education. This man, it
seems, had 'blown in" some savings
on trip to the st. Louis exposition.
While there he had overheard a re-
mark that the most impressive thing
about the fair was the tout ensemble.
This he had had explained to him, and
it conceded with his views.
WELL" said Mr.. Mighels, in a con-
versation with his old friend, what
did you like best about the fair?"

titude. at was the whole toOt and
scramble of it," he said.-Baltimor

tinued up to the last night she was to

ment.
AS she left the concert hall she was
accosted by a small but naughty man,
who swung off his great soft hat with
a flourish worthy of an ancient Cas-

Think not, gracious lady," he an

"BIsoN BEEF" SOLD IN ENGLAND.
Result of Experiments in Crossing
Buffalo and Cattle.


Buffalo and Cattle.
The latest deicacy to tempt the APP
petites of British epicures is com
promise between buffalo meat and
beef. A couple of 2-year-old bullocks,
the result of cross-breeding between
a North American bison and highland
cattle were sold at the Newcastle mar
ket yesterday. They had been bred
by Mr.. Lyland of Haggerston castle,
Northumberland, says the New York
World, who has been engaged for sew
eral years in experimenting in this
direction.
The animals were exactly like their
North American cousins in appear
ance, except that they were stronger
and thicker in the headquarters. They
had been reared and fed as wild cat
tie, so great difficulty W. experienced
in conveying them to market.
Although they were accommodated
in special boxes, their fury was so
great that one broke its neck on the
Journey and the other had to be shot
in the market.
The beef, it is said will be found
of a richer quality than that obtained
from a buffalo, and if kept for
month or so more palatable than that
of an ordinary bullock.
