When Mark Woke up.

Mark Currier Of Newburyport was
somewhat deaf, says wit and Humor
Of the American Pulpit" and he had
acquired habit Of sleeping at inter.
walls throughout the sermon. The Rev.
Mr.. Milton made up his mind to break
his worthy parishioner of that very
deplorable habit, and he gave Mr..
Currier fair warning of his determine
ton.
On the next Sunday he gave out an
unusually long hymn. At its close Mr..
Curriers' head had fallen back on the
railing Of his pew, and his mouth was
set for fly trap. Quietly the parson
rose in the pulpit and exclaimed in a
voice Of thunder, Mark"
In an instant Currier jumped to his
feet and before he could realize where
he was answered the supposed call upon
him with an equally loud Hello"
Perfectly regardless Of him. Parson
Milton continued: Mark. say, the
perfect man, and behold the upright,
for the end Of that man is peace You
will find these words in the Thirty
seventh Psalm and thirty-seventh
verse;"
During the sermon that followed.
Mark Cur1ier, it need not be added,

Consul kina David.

This amusing anecdote of Lamartine
is related by the Baroness Bonde in her
volume Of letters. Shortly after the
revolution Of February he wrote on the
blank leaves Of his pocketbook the
names of his proteges and sent the list
to be provided with places immediate
ly. Previously, however. it seems, he
had scrubbed David" on the page, and
the head Of the cabinet appointed the
said David consul at Bremen. The
p0stulant, however. never came for
ward, and. though the poet did not like
being disturbed, NJ. Hetzel was obliged
to ask who was the David on his list.
HE who danced before the ark" was
the answer.
ooh. dear, have gazetted him to
Bremen
"How very singular! I meant him
for subject for mediation, not for
nomination. But you can cancel it."
The moniteur registered the change,
but few knew that the consul appoint
Cd to Bremen was King David!

Tho jmpossible.

The Duke Of Wellington wanted a
certain piece Of work done and in
structed an officer of the Royal engi-
neers to do it. After examination the
officer told the duke it was impossible.
The duke sent for another officer, a
much younger man and attached to an
other division of the army. This officer
did what the duke required.
The next morning there appeared in
the "orders Of the day" the following
epigrammatic note: HE who in war
fails to do what he undertakes may al
ways plead accident. which invariably
attends military affairs, but he who
declares thing to be impossible which
is subsequently accomplished registers

The situation which confronted

HERN SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES FOR DTXTE,S
STORY OF
CHINESE OPIUM REFORM

Peking. June 18.-(Correspondence >ot
the Associated Press.)-A proclamatio
bearing the seal of the President tells in
a picturesque way the peculiar story OF
the opium reform in China. From the
proclamation the following paragraphs are
taken:
1.-THE evil of opium is known to nll
men, and no less than $1,000 100000 AID
tens of thousands of lives have been sac
rifced during the past few decades as a
result tof this evil. Once a person ac-
quires the habit of opium smoking he
degenerates Into parasite ami is reduc I'd
to a skeleton; thus a rich man becomes
a pauper and a healthy man weal1ling.
This consequently gives rise to the prev
alence of undesirable characters and peo-
pie who do not care to work. causing the
deterioration of the race and the decline
OF morality, and both tho family and the
nation are affected and harmed. Fortu-
nately, however, as O. result of the un-
prejudiced spirit of the friendly nations
and the we'll intentioned publicity given
by Chinese and foreigners, an agreement
was made with Great Britain In the third
year of Hsuan Tung for the prohibition
of the Importation of foreign opium and
the cessation of the cultivation OF native

opium within certain time limit. A per-
sistent policy has been pursued with re-
gard to the prohibition of cultivation
smoking, and trading in opium; and as q
result of 1t many provinces have sLe-
ceeded in completely destroying all poppy
plants; consequently transportation of
opium into these provinces has been pro-
hibited. If this opportunity were seized
completely to Danish the opium evil, The
country would be put on a strong foot
ing. This is why the order was repeat I'D
at the beginning of the Inauguration Of
the republic. But owing to the lack of dis
cipline and the fact that both dcspera does
and unruly recruits were mostly opium
smokers. the evil sprang again into being
The ignorant people, seeing profit in the
opium business, defied the law, which Up
till then was in force. This was most re-
grettable
Some people urge that since the opium
trade affects the livelihood of many per-
sons, 1t is unjust to use arbitrary meth
DDS for the prohibition of poppy planting
They forget, however, that the evil of
opium is like dangerous ulcer that sinks
deep to the bone and for the cure Of which
it is better to cut away part of the bone
than to patch 1t up with a piece of flesh
taken from another part tot the body
Whether the profit in suche a trade IS big
