ments in the provision of imperial suites, with all the conveniences and the isolation of kingly palace, the feature of the accom- modation generally is the providing of ordi. nary first and secondclass passenger cabins of satisfactory area, and in the minimum of deck space.

A novel feature, too, is the complete isolation-even from the third- class passenger-of the crow and the officers. The decoration of the ship affords opportunities for original and individual effort. Twenty years ago panelling with polished fancy woods was the rogue, varied with white panelling picked out with gold and other lining. Then came the carving machine, and for a time we had wood-carving in a profusion which did not compensate for its montonous similarity and regularity. We had also the era of lincrusta; but later on a more artistic effect was reached in the best of our ships, owing to the engage ment of decorative painters; and the result

Thus a writer in the N.-C. Daily News:- Much has been said about the behaviour of the Japanese in their own country towards foreigners, want of courtesy and overboar ing conduct being alleged against them by many people. I must say that I never heard of this before I came to China; on the contrary, travellers in Japan by their writings impressed me with the idea that

Miserable pains at the waist, a weight on the chest savere headaches, a foully-coated tongue, Bile, Liver-complaint, and eventually dis- ease of the Kidneys or ulceration of the coats of the Stomach, result from neglect of what seeins a trivial ailment - a sense of fulness after eating, with wind and indiges- tion.

One of the most intelligent people ever interviewed in connection with a cure by Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People (which have proved a blessing to thousands of sufferers from Indigestion) is Mr John Rush, an agricultural labourer who lives at South Lopham, England. His cure excit- ed something like a sensation locally, for he had long been a martyr, and his intelligence made him highly respected. He was actually interviewed on the subject by the

Mr John Rush. Norwich Mercury and said: Although I have as a rule enjoyed fairly good health, yet in the hot weather I have had severe indigestion. Last harvest I had terrible pains in the pit of the Stomach, which seemed to take my appetite quite away, and left me in very poor health. No mat ter what I ate, it seemed to do me no good.

Lack of power to extract nourishment from food afflicts thousands of haggard men and women embittered by perpetual gnawing pain. The stomach requires the tone, or strength supplied by Dr. Will iams' Pink Pills for Pale People. These pills have cured all disorders arising from anzemia, rickets, impoverished blood, scrofula, 'decline, consumption, indigestion, sciatica, St. palpitations, rheumatism, Vitus ince, paralysis, locomotor ataxy, neuralgia, and all disturbances of the nervous system. The price is 2s. 9d. for one bottle or for six bottles 13s. 9d., sent direct by the manufacturers, Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Holborn-viaduct, Lon- don, or obtainable of medicine dealers. Intending purchasers are sometimes-de- ceived into accepting substitutes, but customers will find safety from deception by insisting on seeing the full name, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale, People, on the packet handed to them.

KOWLOON, Sept. 10, 1903. DEAR SIR, I would like, through the medium of your valuable paper, to call the attention of those responsible, to the poor supply of gas which we, in Kowloon, are at present being supplied with.

This was pro- bably due to the fact that I wore ordinary clothes, though, whenever questioned as to my personal status, I did not conceal the fact that I was a military officer. It was reported that troops were stationed at every station on the railways in Manchuria, but this is a little exaggerated, as some of No troops were seen at the the stations certainly were cot guarded by troops. stations of Whang-tien, Kuenin, and Hing- kin.'
