Also offences committed during drunkenness or while is an excited condition, rendering deliberation impossible, will constitute the basis for pardon. The Emperor has directed the ministry of justice to deal Iberally with all persons convicted of an insult to bis Majesty who petition for pardon and show penit once. It is expected that the new practice will greatly reduce the number who will serve out sentences for this offence, since the impression is general that many offenders have been convicted in many cases through over-officious State's altor Bey, and judges.

She died just before they were to be married, and he gives his book a sub-title in honour of her" My, Mamie Rose." Mr. Kildare writea very prež. tily, and no one would believe he had learned so late in life, unless they also believed the ultra- pious profesions to which Mr. Kildare tronis us.

Puter's Pedigree. By DOROTHEA CONYERS London: 41 and Maddox Stacet, W Edward Arnold. Hongkong: Brewer & Co. BEING a funny story of country house life in Ireland, it is fitting that the title should be an Irish ball, for the point of the story of Peter's pedigies is that Peter hasn't ono. He je the son of a soap millionaire who buys an estate in Ireland, and plays the squire. Peter is a decent fellow, without a trace of the parveau or the mob about him, and the result is a nice love offair. There is a great deal about foxhunting, viously written from the inside. So close is the author's aequaintance with field sports that we are frequently led to suspect that the name is a disguise for a wiiter of the sterner sex, Whoever it be, the story is one that will satisfy most readers. The book is copiously illustrated by Nora K. Shelley, whose line drawing is at once able and amateurish.

hostilities between Russia and Japan, which not only entirely stopped clearances of yarns already sold to Northern outlets, but caused an accumulation of stocks on all of which interest charges absorbed the working margine. Then, later in cur financial year, we had as a result of famine prices prevailing for cotton, sa unusually strong demand for export, which resulted in the price of the locally grown staple touching a level that reulered it im possible to spin yarn at a profit. In connection with the figures submitted to you, it will be noticed that the balance at credit of Working Account is Tia, 71,137.30, which shrinks to practically nothing when deductions are made for the very heavy item of interest charges to which I have already referred, and for the concurrent hasry insurance premis incurred for the same reason. The balance at credit of Profit and Loss account, Tla. 12.844,76, it is proposed to carry forward to ourront year. The sum of Tis. 10,245.00 has been spent on re- nowals and repairs to machinery, and our maill manager submits a very satisfactory report under this heading; indoed, we are turning out as heary a weight of yarn as the mill has ever recorded since its construction. As regards the future I have pleasure in stating that the May 1905 has been sold mill's production up at a profit, and we can only hope that we may be! more successful in the lattor part of next year than we have been in 1904.
There is one thing, further. You will have no doubt noticed in a report of a meeting of another company on the other side of the river that there was considerable criticism, and a certain shareholder, according to the printed reports, complained that although an enormous piece goods business was going on, yet at that time there were no large clearances of yarn from stork. It is quite true that there is a large unsiness, but it is for further delivery in March and April next year, and this applies equally in our cuse. I shall be pleased to answer
