As a rule, the village, and of course. the tours, were evorywhere wealthy food was plentiful and chaap; life comfortable for China and work abundant. Except in the large towns no such sight as a cadaverous opium-besotten face was ever seen by me, though it is not difficult as aruls to discern. from the tint of the chook and the colour of the eyeball who smokes and who does not smoke. Una may, canso the usual. waste of time, and to a certain extent of money, in this province, but it certainly brings wealth and So far as I was able to judge activity. from the unrivalled opporlituitius I had, miqm eculd not fairly be described as a cures to the provines of Szechuan, or to those portion of Kweichou and Hupoh in which I saw it grow-long as it is not taken to exo, or in disobedi ing. Nor did Iobaorvonny strong feeling against ita ute; still loss any feeling against Europeans for having, as some still say, frst introduced it. At the same time no ens was proud of beinf stacker; every one made some voy attempt at apology or concealment. In short, even in Sze- ekuon. whate 1 believe much lara iri is dobe by opiun-smoking tisa is done by strong drink in Great Britain, the common-senso of the people prompts them to be more ashamed of their weakness than wo ora of ours. Never once in any part of China have I see an opiumencking, and that alone is hardly cloud to smoker take the angry and self-jaatificatory attitude which some of any advocates of free drink will do. My experience leads me to say that, however much opinione among the Chinese may differ as to who is responsible for the in- troduction of opinm; what is the extent of the damage done, and so on, there is but one, abso lately one, opinion throughout the empire us to the wisdom of the indulgence; that is, it is a foolish vice, and coe to be ashamed of and kont in the background, even though the person sing the drug be too weak to resist its charm and to act up to his own opinions.

Physique to the absence of opium-stoking, there can be little doubt that the introdustion of opium-smoking-would seriously injure that physique, and make the people mach pourer than They already are, because they would spend less apon their food.
The popular notion that opium-emaking can not be suddenly abandoned without danger is quite mistaken. The inmates of the Hong- Fong prisuus aro never alowed to smoke. a single pipe. Tene, advanced casos aro treated for time with pills or anti-opium medicines; but that is all. "So long as physical force or the requisite force of will is at hand, soy saker can be cured of the habit Bummarily.
My next experience was the neighbourhood of Toschow, where. at differnt times, I spent the best part of three years. The general im pression left upon me was that piam smoking did more damige hero than in the Canton ro glen. The people are more voluptaonely in- elined; loss principled, less capable of resisting temptation, not so industrious and persevering, dirtier, and poorer. I can therefore wall-un- derstand the missionaries of Poochow taking s much stronger view than would be justified in Szechuer.
After this I spent more than two years in the island of Hainan, where I must say I noticed very liftio of the evil effest so marked at Foochow yot it is certain that at least 2,000 clients a dar must be commed in the island.
In Tonkin it appeared to me that the exces sively high price of opinim sated unimal witste and poverty. Hero-for-the-rst time, I come across Europeans who smoked, and it is a well- authenticated fuot, which, I have frequently myssif soen disenssod in the local French journals, that considerable numbers of Franah- neh have taken to the hatit: from what I could learn, it affects them even moro prejudi- cially than it does the Chiness,
