opium Habit Among Japanese.


When the Japanese came into con-
troll OF Formosa they found the opium
habit widely prevalent especially with
that portion OF the population that
were OF Chinese origin. The Japan
csc discovered that Ga per cent. OF tho
male population were addicted to the
opium habit
The greatest percentage OF these
were among the educated classes. In
an endeavor TO elucidate the point az

step was traced in 90 per cent. OF the
cases TO the use OF the drug by med

WHAT'S A SIGN OF LOVE
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

wv THAT do you think is a sign
W that love has come? You
have an opinion. and, with
out a shadow of doubt. it is based on
/ experience. Looking back to that ex-
perience, would YOU say the writer
of this letter is in love?

to be Indifferent to me. I think of her

say it is. To dream Of girl all
night, and think of her all day is con-
cI1sive proof of love. OF no one
n the world does a mar think so con-
stantly except of the girl he loves.
There are also other signs, many Of
them more convincing. He sees no
fault in the girl He is never with her
so long at a time that he has had a
surfeit of her society.
The hours fly when with her, and
he knows when they are apart is count
ing the time when he will be with
her again.
He has no hopes that are not CEN
tered around her. He can imagine no
JOY that is Independent OF her exist
ence. and, if trouble comes to him, his
first thought is of the effect it may
have on her.
He wants to shield her He longs
for the right to protect her from every
adverse wind that blows. He regards
pleasant for her; he counts all his
friends of no value unless they are
also friendly to her.
He Has All the Symptoms.
The signs of love are legion, but
this young man has the one that is
unmlstakable. In the constant ~think-
ing of her will originate every dream
for her, every hope for her, every am
bition
He continues: she is very popular

all as she treats me. A friend of
mine saw her once, and now he is
