To DISCOURAGE Opium Users,

A quaint touch of oriental ingenuity
to harass the persistent users OF
opium has been invented by the SUI
perintendent of the police at Canton
says the Lancet's correspondent in
China. This official has issued 10000
wooden licenses, ten inches long by
eight inches broad and three-fifths Of
an inch thick. On the front of these
boards are characters giving the
smokers name and address, and the
quantity allowed him per diem, and on
the back are the opium regulations
The licensees are not allowed to cover
their boards when going to buy opium,
but must wear them conspicuously so
that all may see them. Next year
these wooden licenses are to be two
feet long by one and half broad and
three-ifths of an inch thick.

The town of Vallecas, Spain, is al

Vallecas has on it's outskirts great

so plentiful that they use 1t, when soft
and fresh, for soap. 1t gives a plen.

chehr, in Asia Minor, supplies the
worlds meerschaum. There are 1000

miners work day and night in them
The meerschaum comes from the

days bleaching in the sun.

A supreme court judge in Brooklyn
set aside will under unusual circum-
stances. The testator had directed
his property to be invested and The in
come devoted to the care of his burial
lot. The judge ordered the estate to
be distributed among his immediate
heirs on the ground that so purely a
selfish disposition of property was too
much opposed to public policy anG
duty to humanity to permit. The needs
Of the living, he said, were paramount
to the claims of the dead. This sounds
like the sound plain sense on which
law is supposed to be based, remarks
the Boston Herald. The man who still
monopolizes his property even after
death should have such post norton
power of absorption taken by the law.

The Attorney General has rem
dered an opinion to the effect that
the Modern Samaritans, fraternal
beneficiary society of this State may
establish so-called Redemption
Fund" to be distributed among the
surviving and persistent members
when each has reached the age of
sixty-fve years. The opinion is
based upon the fact that this society
was organized under Chapter 1874
of the General Laws of 1885.

The following is very truthful
remark: The man who grows up
in his native town is regarded as a
boy by his elders until he is well
started down the declivity of life
that ends in a hole. The stranger
who comes into a place is more
often pushed to the front than the
young man who has grown up with
the town. This is the reason why
so many young men become disatis
fed with their home surroundings
and long to cast their lot in other
quarters.

BELGIAN COAL MINERS.

While coal is mined at a greater
depth in Belgium than in most coun-
tries, the number of miners killed in
accidents is less in that country than
in any other. For the ten-year peri
cd from 1891 to 1900 the number
of fatalities per 10000 workmen was
1854 per annum. In the metallic
ore mines the number of workmen
who have been killed by accident is
one-third that in the coal mines.
