china's Opium Edict.

The edict of the emperor of China for
the suppression of the use of opium is
now followed by eleven drastic regula-
tons which seem to show serious
purpose. Not only the cultivation OF
the poppy-which is extensive-but the
use of opium must cease within ten
years. The ground under cultivation
must be diminished by one-tenth an
nually. Land will be confiscated If the
cultivation continues undiminished. on
the other hand, rewards will be given
where cultivation of the poppy ceases
before the end of the tenth year. All
who use opium must be registered, with
the amount consumed, and only regis
tered persons can buy opium. No one
can hereafter begin the use of the drug.
Persons using opium must, If under
sixty, diminish their use of 1T 20 per
cent per annum. Punishments are pre-
scribed for persons who persist in the
use of opium after the end of the ten
year limit. Shops selling opium must
be registered and will be closed gradu-
ally, while "dens" for smoking will be
closed in six months. Sellers of smok-
ers' requisites must go out of the husi-
ness in twelve months.

To a Princeton Rowing Man.

IAndrew Carnegie has presented lake
four miles long to Princeton university in
order to enable 1t to start boat club.1
Here's welcome to our brother from tho
brotherhood of oars.
From the men who smite the water in
their Fights and in their fours;
They have heard the news with gladness.
and they bid him take his seat.
With his hands about the spruce wood
and the straps about his feet!
You will learn. they say, to suffer, and
your learning will be long
Through the days of toll and patience
that shall serve to make you strong.
Days of tedious repetition in the cold or
in the rain,
Days of limitess endurance, days of dis
cipine and pain.
But it's worth it--yes. it's worth it-you
will find our words are true
When a sudden change converts you from
chaos to a crew,
When your boat moves fast and faster
and your bodies seem to spring
All at once to the beginning from the
rapture Of the swing.
You shall know the Joys Of racing, you
shall hear the frenzied din
When your flag floats out in triumph and
the cheers proclaim a win,
And you'll bear without murmur when
the fates ordain the test
To be fairly met and beaten. though you
know you've done your best.
And when age. that weary teacher. lays
his burden on your back
You can come and watch the young ones
in their yellow and their black
And your vanished youth will greet you
and your heart renew its glow
Wh.s you see them swing as you did In
the days OF long ago.

the NEW YEAR.

Tuesday begins new year, hopefully
and with every prospect that hope will
be fulfilled. When we take account of
stock tomorrow most of us will find a
balance in favor of happiness and con-
tent We "have done we'll" during the
past twelve months, most Of us. We
haven't run behind" unless we were
careless or extravagant or especially
unfortunate, or possibly lazy. There
has been much to do, not too many to
do it, and those Of us who work for
wages have prospered according to our
various capacities and common sense.
If we haven't, it has not been for lack
Of opportunity. Every man has had a
chance to work at fair wages all thru
the year. Do we realize what that
means or have we forgotten the days
when men saw the new year approach,
not with hope and satisfaction, but
with dread of settling day and conse-
quent bankruptcy?
81 lulS year Inc anger VI prosperity Wis
tied every home. The, crops have been
good and prices high; the manufactur-
ers have been abnornally busy; the
merchandisers have sold out their
stocks; the working men have bought
with the wages Of certainty and of la
Dor demanded; mortgages have been
lifted from the farm and the humble
home Of the day laborer. If there is a
man who can not return thanks for the
bounteousness Of 1906 he has been un-
fortunate or shiftless.
Still it looks good. No cloud ap-
pears in the clear sky of the future.
The promise Of 1907 is as the fulfill
ment Of 1906. Men face forward with
confident faces. 1t was a good year.
1t will be good year. Let us strive
to use 1t as well or better than the
last. Every day is New Years to the
man who has pledge to make or keep.

TROUBLE OVER THE NOBEL FUND.

The Popular Science Monthly COM
plains OF lack of good faith in the ad-
ninistration of the Nobel fund, intend
ed. as the testator stated, to benefit
mankind" Alfred Nobel was a Scan
dinayian who made an immense for
tune in England by the discovery ana
manufacture of dynamite. His Will
provided that the interest from the
fund shall be divided into Eve equal
parts" which shall be annually award
ed in prizes to persons who have con-
tributed most materially to benefit
mankind during the year Immediately
preceding. One share was to go to
the author of the most important dis
covery or invention in physics. The
second was allotted to chemistry the
{ third to physiology or medicine, the
fourth to literature and the fifth to the
greatest promoter of peace In the
face of explicit directions, the King
OF Sweden and others high in author
ity in that country have made rules
which provide that note all the in
come from the Nobel fund shall go to
the specified objects, but only 90 per
cent. the other 40 per cent being al
lotted to laboratories and Libraries in
Stockholm The rules lay it down also
that the prizes amounting to about
$4,000, need not be awarded annu-
ally, as the testator required, but only
once in five years.
The Popular Science Monthly con-
cedes that Sweden probably needs lab
oratories and libraries, but holds that
those founded with Nobels money
have been founded in dishonor," and
the reasoning by which the diversion
of the fund is sought to be justified Is
denounced as .disingenuous." So far.
the prizes have been awarded annually,
but 1t is apprehended that preparation
is making for keeping the money four
years out of five in Sweden. There is
a clause in the new rules which au-
sthorizes a diversion of the funds when
prizes are not awarded. The terms Of
Nobels will have been violated already.
1t is alleged, in dividing prizes in Civ
ing them to institutions and in giving
Swedes control of decisions. The local
influence is deemed excessive.

al business followed the holiday, and
Christmas week made a favorable COM
garrison with previous years as to the
volume Of trade Retail sales Of seas
enable wearing apparel have been large
on account Of the low temperature in
most sections, and final reports Of hol-
iday business equal the most sanguine

ter goods have been so well distributed
that there remain less than the usual
assortments for bargain sales. Whole
collections show further improvement.
Jobbers are delivering spring goods In
some lines, adding to the freight con-
!. gestion, which has not been relieved,
E except in isolated cases. Manufacture
ers complain of the light receipts Of

these is also some interruption because
of inventories and repairs. On the
whole, however, there is less idle ma
