THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY MARCH 12TH, 1904
A recent issue of the Lancet contains the following article from its special corres poulent:—
Of the multitude of books about China which have issued from the Press it may well be olaimed that none are of more popular uss and "The Russian Modioni Congress, which met interest than Mr. Dyer Ball's Things Chinese at 8. Potersburg at the end of January, has which has now run into a fourth edition. The been dissolved by the police. In Westeru revisions and additions have increased the Europe it will seem extraordinary that a number of pages to 810 including an index and technical and scientific congress cannot be held glossary. For almost say Thing Chiness" without police interference. On the other hand, on which the reader requires enlightenment bet is easy to see how in Russia sach things may will in all probability not seek in yate in these happon. The practice of medicine there is got pages, and if the information be too concise for independent of politics, and, wheu questions of bis purposes, the autlier supplies at the footsanitation or of the prevention of disease are of each note a list of books recommended for further reference. While knowledging his indebtedness to other writere, the author men tions in the preface that he has largely availed himself of his own personal observations and experiences in the course of nearly forty years spent in China, daring which ho bas had many opportunities of observing and studying the Chinese in almost every aspect of their life and character. Mr. Dyer Ball's qualifications for writing a book of this description are well known to most residents in Hongkong, and the fact that the fourth edition of the book is now on sale is a proof of its public interest and utility. It toek rank from its first publication as a standard work of reference on matters Chinese, and we Lavo plawsure in commending the volume to all who do not already possess it. Though the eiterations and additions are not, as the author admits, large in bulk, they are very aumorous in quantity, and consequently the fourth edition may be recommended as more completo and acourate than its predecessors. The new edition is well printed, but has been bound in a bilions yellow cloth which is not an improvement on the old binding.
Great Masters. London: Wm. Heinemann.
approached, science is at once forced into the political arons. At the S. Petersbarg congress a joint meeting was held of the sections on tuberculosis and on social hygiene. Hers a motion was carried setting forth that he ignorance of the ordinary and elementary laws of hygiene and the excessive drinking of alcohol erosted the predisposing causes that facilitated the spread of tuberculosis, which ja cho of the most fatal of provailing disenses. So far so good, but the motion and the speeches by which it was supported wont a step farther, for a clauso was ultimately adopted to the effect that a regular and systematic campaign against tuberenlesia could only be carried out in Rusia on condition that personal freedom, and the freedom of speech, of the Press, and of meeting wero granted.. The adoption of such motion might te construed as an act of aggression against the Government, and, there- fore, justified the dissolution of the congress. The resolution practically asks for complete freedom, and this is not necessary when it is simply a question of teaching the ignorant masses the advantages of cleanliness, of thorough ventilation, and of abstinence from excessive drinking. Usfortunately these argu- meats, however plausible from the point of view taken by the present autocratio Govern- ment, do not in practice cover the issu, Such freedom as that suggested does exist. It is possible to deliver lectures on ventilation or on the host means of keeping dwellings clean, but whenever any systematic effort of this sort is made the organisers immediately fall under the suspicion of the police. These benevolent and charitable endeavours are ascribed to some political motive, and a scientific lecture on

ALBERT D'ANETHAN. Tokyo : Kyo Bun. Some of the little poems and fugitive verses contained in this small volume bare appeared before in European and Far Eastern magazines and journals, but they possess a certain merit which justified their collection and republication in book form. The authoress, who is the wife of the Belgian Minister in Tokyo, is a sister of Mr. Rider Haggard, the well-known English novelist, and the Baroness herself is the author of one or two novels. In the volume are
pablished for the first time two sets of verses dealing with that awful period of susponse when the whole civilised world was expecting onfi rmation of the rumours that the entire foreign community in the Chinese capital had been massacred by the hordes of ends who for weeks had besieged the Legations. Make Haste" is the title of eno ast af verses which give expression to the public anxiety of that time, and squally stirring are the lines entitled "Bescuo" written on the receipt of the joyful news of the relief of the Logations The poetry is worthy of the theme, GERMAN OPINION REGARDING
RUSSIA'S PLAINT
The following Berlin telegram, dated Fab 25th, has been received at the Foreign Office, Tokyo:-
FRANCE AND THE WAR.
Writing on the 2nd ult., the Para correspon- dent of the Times asid :-
The heart of Frauco is not in the Far East, Bot over now that the critical moment would seem to be at band when the question of peace or war is apparently to be solved. It is atrik- ing to observe with what sulm and, indeed, unconcern the Russo-Japanese conflict is dis- cursed by most Frenchmen in private convoraa- tion. The apprehension of the possibility of France's being dragged into an eventual war is significantly conspicanus by its absenco. There seems to be among all classes but one preoccupation-namaly, that there should be no war. Most of the newspapers have ceased to give prominence to the crisis, which they have from the beginning dealt with for the most part in a relatively impartial spirit and not at all as if they wish to foster the iden in Russia that France had the slightest inelination or the remotest intention of joining in the fray. What might happen if war did actually break out is matter for spocalalíon; but if I may venturo an opiniou I do not believe that Russia possesses the means of modifying the present aversion from war among the large majority of the French nation. There is, in fact, a prevalent opinion that no French Government could induce the Chambers, composed as they are at prosent of a majority of advanood Rupulliesus, to sanction armed intervention in the Far East. aulers complications involving the vital interests of the country were to arise, which in scarcely to be foreseen. Semt intorost is taken outside Paris in Far Eastern affairs, and the widespread conviction in the provinces that the existing prosperity of France, as well as the future of the Republican. form of Government, depends on the maintenance of peace renders all idea of being involved in forsign complications obnoxions to this people.

If they chose to call it a village, then the Jows might be driven out in 24 hours. Thus, for instance, in 1895 all the burgs of the provinces of Poltava and Tchernigoff were declared to be villages, and the Jews had to leave in 24 hours.

Both the Court and Punti prononciations are given, the accents being carefully marked on the best principle hitherto attained. The typography displays the success of an attempt to make the Chinese and English type correspond in the size of body, thereby effecting a vast economy of space, schiering a clearness not previously attained, and dispensing with those vast margins and vacant spaces which have heretofore charac. terized Chinese publications,.
To illustrate the vast scope of the work tha following faots are submittedfor consideration Chalmers Vocabulary contains about 16,000 Chinese characters, and Medhurst's English and Chinese Dictionary about 100.000 whilst this work contains trois than 50,000 English words and upwards of 600,000, Chinese characters Again, despite all the grammars and other elementary works as yet published, the student of th's difficult language bsolutely requires ex- amples to display the various applications and equivalents of different ords which have one general meaning. Of the se examples this work contains more than fivo dimes as many as any other Dictionary hithert; published.

In this respect the work will be found ind psable to all Europeans residing in China, and to the natives themselves it explains subjects fully with which very for indeed of them are perfectly acquainted.
