Under Edward we were con- tent with one for every 90,000. The chief malady from which the theatre suffered in our time was spectatorism. It was be- cause the theatro had been left absolutely. to the tender morcies of spectatorism, and because there had never grown up among. ita supportera any body of disciplos cor- responding to the fellowship of the faithful. that the thestro sosmed to him to fall so lamentably far short of being an useful sa it might be and ought to be in the modern State.
People went to the play to amuse them- selves, as people went to a fashionable church to hear the preacher or to enjoy the singing. But the people who went to church to amuse themselves were not the people by whose aid the Church fulfilled its Divino mission. The theatre would never bo raised to its preper status until out of the present miscellaneous congrega-

He did not mean that he had found the theatre an abominable thing. With the exception of one pieco of putrescence, now happily dead and buried, he found nothing abominable in it, and much that was most admirable. But it was the good side of the theatro that had made him most sad,
because the better the play the more mon-
strously wicked it was confine the sujoy- ment of it to the handful of well-to-do poople who alone could afford to pay the present prices.
The theatre at present was one of the perquisites of the middle-classes, It ought to be the common inheritance of the whole people. One of the signs of a new era would be that the poor had the theatre opened unto them. At present we barred them from what might be a popular uni- versity both of morals and mannors. The immense majority of our fellow-citizens were living at this moment in a most de- plorable state of theatrical destitution. The way of salvation for the theatre, as for the Church, was the way of sacrifice.
The theatre with such a fellowship as he hai alluded to would really teach a body of doctrine which, though not theologically formulated, was nevertheless a real creed, capable of exciting the highest darres of enthusiasm. The crood was that life was a serious thing, that the problents of life ought to be seriously considered, and that there was no method by which they could be so vividly brought home to the mind, the heart, and the imagination of man as by the stage-play.

REVIEWS.
HANA, A DAUGHTER OF JAPAN. By Gen.
sai Mural. Hoshi Shimbun,
Tokio. This is one of the most attractive books from the point of view of get up-that has been published for some time. The "book is quite a novel experiment for it mingles the English language with Japanese thought, and is worth perusing to see how the task is managed. Were it not that the author deals too lengthily at intervals with Japanese cookery, the behaviour of troops in battle, and other matters having no direct bearing upon the story, the book could be called excellent. It is written with a patriotic motive, and perhaps to this must be ascribed the extraordinary purity and goodness of some of the characters. How really patriotic the author is, is shown by letter which accompanies the book, In it Mr Murai says:- *Japan is now at war with one of the greatest of world-powers. Greed, insati- able greed, on the part of that power onused the war, and Japan, finding her very existence imperilled, dauntlessly pick- ed up the gauntlet insidiously dropped by Russia. Our soldiers are bravely fighting and dying at the front for Emperor and country; needs must we who remain behind in safety do our share, however, humblo nad feeble, in the Great War. I felt that I could best serve my country by following my own metier and writing a book that would, in a slight measure, display some of the characteristics of my countrymen."Hana" is the result.'

on ground sodden with blood, and in an atmos- phere reeking with the fumes of hell, men slept soundly. The reason is plain, do you say? Fos- sibly; hat hold the question until you read the latters which follow. They tell the stories of actual experience, not on the field of war, but of the actual battle of life, a struggle that with most people lasts, in one form or another, as the fiercest long as they live. With some struggle they have to make is for a livelihood; with others it is for the recovery or the preser- vation of health.

Mrs: Susan Helders was born in England some seventy-eight years ago, and came out to this colony 71 years ago. She has kept a grocery store at Van de Lour and Longmarket Streets, Cape Town, for 38 years, and is well known to many merchants and residents in Cape Town, In a letter dated Angast 16th, 1904, she says:- I em seventy-eight years of age, and am positive I owe the prolongation of my life to that excellant remedy, Mother Seigel's Syrup. Thirty year ago I fell into a low weakly state of health. I lost my appetite and, what was worse, I could not sleep at nights, and I became nervous and startled at the least noise or sound. I was also troubled with bilionmess, and my stomach could not retain anything I ato. My bowels acted irregularly and caused spitting headaches. Doctors did not appear to anderstand my case, and instead of becoming any better I grew worse.
I was conversing with a friend one day about the good qualities of medicines, when I was told that Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup would cure me if I would give it a trial. I began to use it, and from that day I com- menced to mend. All the very distressing symptoms have left me, and I have been able to attend to business over since my care, which was seven years ago. My Ohildren all use Mother Seigel's Syrup for indigestion, and 1 recommended it to a number of my customers,"
Mr. I. de Klerk is a foreman packer in one of the largest wholesale houses in Port Eliza- beth. He was born in Scath Africa, and came to Port Elizabeth from Aberdeen, C.C., fteen years ago. He lives in Sprigg Street. Writing cn July 27th to the proprietors of Mother Seigel's Syrup, he says "Mother Seigel's Syrup has proved of inestimable value to me. Five years ago I fell into a very bad state of health through indigestion. For months

The brave act of Dr A, F. Forster, who' so courageously rescued, two Chinese chil dren who were imprisoned us
under an overtuned sampan in Decembar, has been recognised. The trustees of the Belilios medal have taken note of the action and yesterday Dr Forster was handed the medal. Although the Pelilios medal was instituted in 1884, Dr Forster is, we understand, only the second recipient.
The Belilios medal is a large silver medal and is in the shape of an eight pointed star, In the centre there is engraven a ropreson- tation of the Judgment of Solomon, round which there is a laurel wreath, green inlaid- work. A blue ribbon is attached to the medal and the clasp bears the following inscription 'Presented to Dr A. F. Forster

The police report that as far as their de partment was concerned the races passed off quietly and satisfactorily. There were a for minor disturbances amongst coolies which were, however, quickly quelled and some arrests were effected. Just as the crowd was going home yesterday some blus-jackets tried to take possession of a stall on the Wongnuichong Village side and on a Sergeant of police coming to restore order they resented his attentions. The blue-jackets, who were five in number, attacked the sergeant but although he was not carrying a baton the officer proved to be very handy with his fists and brought two of the men to the ground and arrested one of their number, while she others deemed it wise to beat a retreat. The sergeant's only injuries were to his hands, which he damaged in stopping the naval The traffic to and from the races was well regulated and considering its dimen- wons and that the electric trams were

Even the little that existed in those days was very expensive, and still more uncomfortable. It possess ed, however, the merit of durability—that was, so to speak, ita only redeeming feature; a fint razor, for.instance, will not carry fine an edge an a Kropp or a Mappin, but it will preserve it a million times longer.
