IrencY legislation was the subject or

Senator Hepburn opposed the pending
bill and declared it was useless ana
he was not in favor Of it, Mr.. Hey
burn laid great stress upon what he
declared was the wrong principle Of
securities to be used as a basis for
emergency circulation. He declared
that only bonds that had the taxing
power back Of them should be used
for that purpose.
The passage Of the bin now. he said,
was like giving man medicine after
he had recovered from an illness. He
said the sO-Called panic was only a
nightmare and if fnanciers are given
to understand that they cannot depend
upon government assistance in such
cases they are more apt to conduct
their affairs on a sound basis and thus
prevent paniCs. He took the grounds
that the regulations Of the bill might
be to supplement the present currency
with the emergency bills as the bills
once in circulation could not readily
be called back
Let us say to those financial Jug
glers," said Mr.. Hepburn, "'You are
not to have more currency when yOul
have unlaWfully used the money you
have had, nor an elastic currency that

men in Academic Hall i, Incoming more
and more apparent every day. Men
have to take their ovrrcoat- and hats
with them To class rooms and when
the class is crowded these articles Oi
apparel often find II rr~tin. place on
the floor. The girls have number of
rooms where they can put away their
wraps and lounge about until class
time.
Now. why can't the men have the
same convenience: They outnumber
the women three To one Ii the matter
would be brought before the board OF

would probably look into the need for
such Il room and the result would be
the University men would have Il con
genial place to spend the time between
classes and lounging room that would
obviate the attraction of the uptown

Consul J. G. McNally. at Nanking.
in ii report OH cigarette smoking in
China, says:
The demand for cigarettes in China
today is only exceeded by that for
kerosene. Nor is this habit confined
alone to the male portion of the pop
ulatiOn; the females of all classes and
ages. from 10 years up, indulge as
freely and openly in cigarettes. and
with as much apparent enjoyment. as
do their brothers.
The introduction of this habit
among the Chinese dates back only
few years. and it's universal spread
throughout the empire has been as
tonishingly rapid.
The manufacturers say that their
production is up to the standard and
entirely free from opium. The small
cost of cigarettes, which can he
bought from one to thousand at as
low as One-fOurth of an American cent
each, may have something to do
with their universal use; but. what
ever the cause, the cigarette has ap-
parently come to stay, has superseded
the cumbersome water pipe hereto
fore so common among the Chinese.
and is even used by opium smokers.
who find an added pleasure in the
smoking of cigarette after inhaling
the opium fumes.
According To good authority. the
monthly sales in Nanking Alone
amount to l25 eases. of 10000 ciga-
rettes to a case. costing about S24 gold
a case.
The increase of the sales in or
about a foreign settlement could nat
urally be attributed to the influence
of the foreign Indulgence. but in Nan
king. with no foreign settlement and
not more than forty foreigners. apart
from the missionaries. the steady in
crease of the sales is. to say the least.
surprising.
The unlimited advertising of the
merits of the various brands. through
the medium of faring posters pasted
on the doors and walls of sacred tenn
Piles. mission churches, city gates and
walls and other conspicuous places.
attracts the Chinese to the point of an
indul gence for the poorest
cOolie can find the five cash lone e-fourth
cent? necessary to purchase a cigarette.
The company practically enjoying a
of the cigarette trade in China
has been compelled to increase its plant
to keep mp with increase demand
