But true as this is the Socialists feel a certain natural embarra93- ment in taking such gifts of fortune.

the vice-president of the Reichstag to pay a visit to the Imperial head of the state is no reason why the claims of the Social-Demo- cratic party to name the incumbent of the vice-presidency should be overlooked or ignored.' The London News, which has followed the situation closely, says of the Social Democrats: They will have to change their outward attitude toward the Emperor. It is the custom in the German Reichstag to elect the first president from the strongest party-in this case the Centre, party-and the second president from the second strongest. In order to avoid election of a Socialist vice-pre- the sident they resorted in the former Reichstag to the doubtful expedient of treating the Conservatives and Free Con-

tive might be elected as first vice-president. This would not do now, as the Social- Democrats, with their eighty-one members,

tives and Free Conservatives. If the are stronger than the combined Conserva Social-Democrats, therefore, claim the right of nominating the vice-president, the other parties can scarcely refuse, without making: themselves guilty of a blunt and gross violation of the traditions of the House. On the other hand, however, the Socialists would have to abandon the anti-monarchi cal demonstrations they are in the habit of making in Parliament. The Emperor William has always entered into personal intercourse with the three presidents of the Reichstag. He receives them on various occasions, and invites them to his festivities. One can not, therefore, expect the other parties to elect a Socialist vice-

THE WIFE'S UNDERSTUDY.

A New York correspondent of the Sun- day Chronicle describes a new profession, the wife's understudy. It has long been recognised in the ranks of the Four Hun dred, that the care of a home is a drag on the progress of a woman who wishes devote herself to a life of social respon. sibility. When the manifold interests of society domand attention, it is of course necessary that the leaser concerns of the family circle should be relinquished. But the woman of society is a being of extreme sensibility, and although she would allow nothing to shake her fidelity to the cares which took her away from home, it troubled her to think that the poor neces- sary husband and the children might suffer

In the morn- ing, when. the wife, worn out by the fatigues of her humanitarian work of the day before, is taking a little well-deserved repose, the understudy rises, fresh as Diana, to see to it that the husband shall have the charms of feminino society at break- fast.

Germans First as Readers.

According to recent statistics, Germa- ny heads the list as a reading nation, and Russia is falling to zero. In 1893, 23,607 books were published in Germapy, as com- pared with 8,082 in Russia. In regard to newspapers, the inhabitants of the United States are catered to by 22,000 journals,

while Russia, with a population of 130,000,000, hus only 80o. The figures are easily accounted for by the censorship. In Germany the actual number of professional writers is estimated at 12,000, of whom 400 are poets. In behalf of France the assertion is made that she provides the international literature, inasmuch as half the copies of French novels printed are exported, while two-thirds of her historic and scientific works also cross the frontier.

Food is Poison,

UNLESS DIGESTED.

The rigour of health depends on good digestion. Undi- gested food poisons the blood, which clogs up the skin, the liver and the kidneys. Food properly digested makes new strength, new blood, new flesh, new life. Relish for food and power to digest it comes with Selgel's Syrup. Compounded of fruits, roots and herbs, ittones and cleanses the liver and kidneys, and clears the stomach of the decayed products of indigestion--the fruitful cause of headaches, languor, brain fag, constipation and aniemia.

Dr Laing, Assistant Superintendent, Government Civil Hospital, said that at nese coolie was admitted to the Hospital. He identified Ng Kam as the coolie ad- mitted. He examined him and found hina suffering from a bullet wound in the right arm, a small abrasion on the right hip about the size of a shilling, and another abrasion on the right shoulder blade of about the same size. He was weak from loss of blood from the bullet wound in his arm. The wound in the arm could have been caused with the bullet produced. He did not think there would be any likelihood of any serious complications or permanent in- juries arising from the effects of the wounds. A native was next examined and produced a bullet. which he said he found near the scene of the shooting. The bullet was- similar to the bullets in the undischarged cartridges.

Sergeant Moore said that after the two coolies came to the station he went with one of them and arrested Vin-- conaz near the top of Mount Austin Barracks He asked him if there was any- thing wrong, and accused replied, Yes, I have shot a Chinaman!'

At the meeting of the Sanitary Board yesterday afternoon, when correspondence relative to the prohibition against importa- tion of dogs from Shanghai w's under consideration, the President pointed out that at a provious inceting the Board had resolved that in the event of no cases of rabies having occurred since February 3 the prohibition against the importation of dogs should be withdrawn. This resolution had been conveyed to the Government, and on the Government communicating with the Consul at Shanghai, it was found that twelve cases had occurred, consequently the President took it for granted that the prohibition should continue, and advised the Government to that effect.

The Hon. H. E. Pollock said that he quite agreed with the action of Mr Howett. Before anything was communicated to the Government it should have been agreed to by the full Board.

The Hon. Dr J. M. Atkinson (President) said he thought that there was some mis understanding on the part of Mr Hewett with reference to the matter. The Board had considered the question and resolved to recommend the withdrawal of the pro- hibition, provided that no cases of rabies had been reported. On learning that the disease was still prevalent, he took it upon himself to conclude that it was the decision of the Board that the prohibition should be continued,

Hongkong Tides.

The tide table given below has been compiled at the Nautical Almanac Office in London from the result of the analysis of observations taken by means of an au- tomatic tido-recording machine in the Wa- tor Police Basin at Tsim Sha Tsui during the years 1887-8-9.

The zero of the table corresponds with the zero of the soundings in the Admiralty Charts which has been found to be 4 feet 3 inches below mean sea level.

To obtain the depth of water on the tide gauge at the Victoria Naval Yard add 3 feet 4 inches, and on the gauge at Lamont Dock, Aberdeen, add 10 feet 6 inches to the height given in the table.
