It seems to me, however, that the revelations of these low, damp, dirty, dark dens would convince most people that only evil can come to those who frequent them. Some smokers are yellow and emaciated Many appear to be in good health. One old follow, nearly seventy years of age, confessed that he had smoked for lusty years, and admitted that he spent $3 per mensem. Yet he looked hals and vigorous. At the beginning of the conversation, many. contended that the pipe stimulates the energies. A little quiet talk, however, will elicit the coo fession that the whole thing is bad, and that, in the end, physical deterioration generally follows

If the temples were kept clean, and the accessories in a state of repair, they would even now be to the foreigner an interesting study and furnish food for much meditation. There was a time when a sustained enthusiasm bote the people to deeds of grent self acridite on behall of the Buddhist religion, hat time is past and many think it will rever return. Children play in the temple courts idlers and beggets throng the steps, old men sit in the doorway and converse of olden days and ways.
I passed two stalls on the street where foreign intoxicants and beer, ale, wine, and even spirits, were on sale to all who cared to buy. I affirm that all who care for the welfare of the Chinese, must regret that these drinke are being introduced and sold to any one who will buy, without let or hindrance. The Chine ese nation is a very temperate one, though many poems have been composed to the god of wine, and many of the poets, in olden days at least, were addicted to the cup. Perhaps, than it is to-day. This, however, is no reason in earlier days drunkenness was more prevalent why this people should be taught to drink strong alcholic drinks, that in the West do so much harm among the people. We would fain see some method introduced by which there sales could be stopped. .
