Whatever opinions may be held respect- in: the efl’ecia of consuming opium, tin-re m to be no doubt that selling it is a wobtshle business. Years ago the house of J ardinc, Mathe- son 8.7 CO. was among the largest im— porters of opium into China, and so enormous were the profits that three of the partners. by sheer force of wealth, expand- ed into barnnets, while a fourth, the late Mr. James Jardine of Dryfeholm, became , . one of the largest. luminvvucrs‘lntlle south of Scotland. Sir James hinthesou and his brother. Sir Alexander hiathcsou, spent upward of $1,000,000 in buying land in the highlands, and the latter left besides over £040,000. Mr. Magniac, the ex-M. 1’. who left. £200,000. was also a member of this firm. Sir Robert Jnrdino of Castle- milk is the old head of the firm and prob- ably the wealthiest of them all. Sir Rob- mdoes not only own Cnstlcmilk, one of the finest residences and estates in the southof Scotland, but 10 years ago bought up the Bogcraons of Wumphray for £120.- NO md later added the property of Lon rick castle, in Perthshirc, to his already great possessions. lie could buy up a score of such places if he so dwircd. Dealing in opium is, of cmxrsc. only one launch of the great firm’s business, but it in a most important one, and a trade whether right or wrong which has such potentialities of profits must, like Tenny- lon’a half truth, be a hard matter loilght. --Soottish Leader.

In the time of William III Mr. Treden- ham. a poet, was taken before the Earl of Nottingham on suspicion of having treason- able papers. "I am only a poet,” protested the poor man, “and these pages are only my roughly sketched play.” The ear], however, carefully looked over the papers in question before liberating the poet. Finally he returned the sheets to the delighted author. "I have heard your statement," said the earl gravely. “lindl have read your play. As i cannot find the least traces of a plot in either the one or the other. you may go free.” With this unflattering tribute to his in- nocence the poet departed with his plotless play.—Youth's Companion.
