PHILIPPINE OPIUM TRANFIC,
In a leading article on the apium traffic in the Philippines, the Coblenews states that the papers report that the Philippine Commission has prepared a bill for the regulation, of the opium traffic in the islands, under which a monopoly of the business will be put up for competitive bidding and sold to the highest bidder, as was done under-Spanish rule. The ravenue derived from the monopoly the Com- mission propose to employ in sending young Filipinos to this country to be educated, build- ing additional school-hauses in the islands,

A CONTENTED WOMAN. Aside from form or features, she has an attractiveness all her own. The bloom on her cheek, the elasticity in her step, the ring of her voice, her enjoyment of life-all these are magnets which draw others to her side. Wonderful and valuable as it is, health is not so difficult a thing to obtain as some dis- couraged ones think. Most of the troubles of women arise from impure blood, impaired nutrition, low vitality and general debility. Modem science furnishes the most successful of remedies for these conditions-namely

system was $610,000 a year, but it is anticipated that under the regulations proposed by the Commission the sales will be less and the Guv emment income accordingly less. Details of legislation #ust necessarily be left largely to the Philippine Commission until an efficient system of self-government is organized, and then it must be left to the self-government body, subject to a certain measure of control by the Commission..
TRÅDE WITH FORMOSA.
In days like these, Englishmen cannot afford to ignore any one of the markets of the world; indeed, the smallest of them has to be watched, lest we find ourselves outstripped by our com. petitors. Not the least interesting, therefore, of the many interesting pages of Mr. J. W. Davidson's new work, "The Istand of Formosa.” -are-those-in which be giyes-details of the "im-. port trade of that island since the Japanese an- nexed it in 1895. Formerly the bulk of the "goods-came necessarily-from-or-through-China;- now they come, with, equal naturalness, from or through Japan. In 1901, Mr. Davidson tells us, Japan had more than a third of the import trade for Ler goods, of course, were admitted free of duty. Our own trade with the island between 1895 and 1900 fluctuated somewhat, being most considerable in 1899, declining in 1899, and rising a little in 1993. On the other hand, America's trade with Formosa rose steadily year by year, until, in 1900, it surpassed our own. Of course, figures are apt to be falla. cious, and it is possible that a satisfactory pro- portion of the goods which reach Formosa through Japan are produced in Britain or in British India. Formosa has a penchant for our machinery, locomotives, bridge material, scien- tific instruments, hardware, chemicals; patent medicines, paints, and condensed milk-a list to which additions might no doubt be made if our manufacturers would consult more closely Formosa's needs,Globe,
