The utmost secrecy seems to have been observed for some little time after the operation, and not one of the morning newspapers contained even an al- lusion to the Emperor's condition, with the exception of the Norddeutsche Allgemine, which inserted the official paragraph just as it was going to press, under the rather curious heading 'Politics of the Day." Moreover, as the. Norddeutsche itself is ↳ paper rarely read outside journalistic and official circles, it was not till quite late in the day that the public was aware of what had happened.

Anniversary Services, On Sunday morning, the Rev. Dr Noyes preached to a large congregation in St. Androw's Hall. Taking his text from Ecclesiastes, chapter ii verso 1, he drew an interesting parallel between the labour of the farmer on the Nile banks and the work of the Christian missionary. In both cases, the methods used seemed to be perfectly useless, but just as the smiling fields of golden grain justified the farmer so success has crowned and is over crown- ing in largor measure the proclamation of the gospel.

To the Editor of the 'CHINA MAIL.' SIR. With your kind permission, should like to call the attention of your readers to the advertisement of the above school which appears in' your columne of this issue.
It will be remembered that as the result of a public meeting held nearly five years ago a sufficient sum of money was obtained to justify the promoters of the school in securing the lease of a house-Rose Villa, West-in which the work of the schol has been carried on since February, 1900. In November of the same year a lady superinten dent--Miss E. D. Skipton, B. A.-and an as- Aistant-superintendent-Miss M. I. Hawker arrived in the Colony from England, and under their management the school quickly grew until it was found impossible to in- crease the number of boarders owing to lack of accommodation. This state of affairs lasted until quite recently, but when within
Rose Villa, East-foll vacant, the Com. mittee decided that this opportunity of doubling the accommodation should not be missed, and promptly took the house, thus securing the whole block for the pur. poses of the Diocesan Girls' School. "Up the present the committee, which is largely composed of ladies, and of which the Bishop of Victoria is chairman, havo felt that owing to lack of accommodation it was useless to make any great effort to make the existence of the school more widely known; but they now desire to call the attention of the public to the many advantages which this school offers.

THE PHILIPPINES TRADE.
Proposed Restrictions on Foreign Shipping. According to a cablegram to the Munili Cableners an endeavour is being made in the United States Congress to aim a severe blow at British and foreign trade between Amorian and the Philippines. The cable, dated Washington, December 10, says :-- Senator William P. Frye of Maine, the most prominent champion of American shipping interests, has introduced a bill into the Senate providing for the exclusion of all foreign vessels from the Philippines American trade after July 1 of next year. In the same connection Frye desires to: legislate the Philippines as constwise to United States, thus making it illegal for any foreign bottom to engage in the trade, American maritime law provides that for eign vessels shall not be permitted under any circumstances, to participate in the American coast-wise trade. Hawaii and Porto Rico were recently made coast-wise to the United States and their shipping blanketed into the American registry to the exclusion of all foreign bottoms, and the same action is contemplated in regard to the Philippines.

Diarrhea.
DIARRHEA, in its first stages, can be
cured by a few doses of that pleasant, reliable, and offectual medicine, Cham- berlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Kemedy. In many instances one dose is suflicient, but As a rule three or four doses are necessary. It is a good thing to keep in the house. Get a bottle to-day; it may save a life.
When you ask for a bottle of Cham- berlain's Lolie and Diarrhoea Remedy, sőt that you get it. It has stood the test for hirty-five years, and has no equal as a erativo for all bowel disorders, so duin't experiment with a something that some betituter will claim is Just as Good.” For sale by all chemista and medicine ven- fore; WATKINS Ltd., General Agents.
