In a well-reasoned argument on the opium question the author disposes, of Home fallacies which still survive, clusion is that reached by others whoss impartiality is beyond question.

The information was received th some surprise, for the little known China at that time did not seem to Set out the statement. Nor was the Darance justified by events. China Tubered on, her sleep disturbed at Infervals by such incidents as the war ath Japan and the Boxer rising, and it was not till the reculution of last autumn that the fins awakening can be said to have taken place.

The root cause of the revolution-and indeed of the chronic unrest existing in Chinais described as economic in its nature. As the result of early marriage polygamy, and reckless over-breeding, the population is in excess of the foul supply. The effect of blind subservience to the dictates of the patriarchal system has been to encourage the undue propagation of the race, and at the same time to localize population. The extraordinary rate at which the nation multiplies is shown by the fact that a population of 5 millions in the seventeenth century has increased" to 30 millions to-day, and this in spite of periodical famines and the Taiping

There are the useful little acorn shaped guards which fusten firmly on the point of the pius, and ran be taken off in moment, in fact, helping one to find

It may not be generally known that some score of women are in prison in Sydney, New South Wales, their offence having been the wearing of pro- truding hatpins, and refusing to pay their fines on conviction.

For the embroidered ninon gown there is the moment, and great rage at thousands are being turned out weekly by elever embroideresses.

At the present moment the width of the evening skirt is one yard and three-oights, and these figures relate not only to the fashions of the hour, but to those which will be worn months hence.
