nolnic, scientific and political aspects or the
opium problem, not only as existing IN tne
Far East but throughout the world. the out
come of the gathering was the unanimous
adoption of series of recommendations IN
which the delegates and experts assembled
strongly urged that their respective countries
take action in three matters, namely an
overhauling by each nation of its own regu-
lations with reference to the opium traffic;
the adoption of measures for the suppression
of opium smoking, and, finally, the enforce
ment of restrictions upon the manufacture
and sale of morphine.
The experts of the different nations having
agreed upon the measures that ought to be
taken to curb the evil it up to the United
States, she having inaugurated the project,
to make the next move in the matter. This
she did with no loss of time. Our officials

Mo Race Prejudice.

VERY few railroad stations in the
country show as much consideration
for colored women travelling alone as
the New York stations" said a WON
an traveller.
Like other stations, their waiting
rooms contain framed placards giving
the addresses of homes and associa-
lions where strangers in the city
may apply for temporary accommoda-
ton, but usually these homes are Tor
white people only. The New York
stations, with fine disregard OF race
prejudice, also display, in conspicu-
GUS place, the address of the coloreo

LARGE RUG Muffs Eclipse owners.


Some, Of the stoles and muffs that
are being carried on cold days are SO
huge that they fairly eclipse slip of
a girl entirely. With the skirt and
coat made as slim as the physical pro-
portion of slender girl can stand
and then the addition Vt huge neck
piece and muff. to say fsathing of an
all-eclipsing hat, girl is completely
lost. Twenty years ago she could
never have carried the big muffs and
neckpieces made of loIg-haired furs
that are fashionable now without
bending under their weight. But the
furrier has locked out for that, and
the biggest mgff weighs scarcely as
much how as the little old-timer did.
One thing is practical about these
giant muffs. No ones arms are going
to suffer with cold while they have
such shelter. The best OF these
NUTS completely envelop the arms to
the elbows, and the muff itself covers
the lap like robe.
