There is little doubt that after the war the development will be great and rapid, and Newchwang is likely to reous one of the largest and busiest ports in China and that in spite of the possible competition of other ports, such as Daley and Ching Wan Tao. There is at present a considerable

Now that the great game the Bes before us, can see how musterly wan analysis and how correct were the conclusions. Karogatkin was working in the dark. He was MUSIC AND MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS baffled by the secrecy and celerity of the Japan- ess movements, by the appearance of formidable forces in unexpected quarters, by deductions from Japanese tactics in the past which the Japanese caloulated upon his drawing, by inferences from their action on their right which they expected him to misunderstand, and, finally, by the discovery, made not before March 7, that, white be thought be had brought the Japanese to a standstill, they bad by forced marches massed on his right and his rear the seasoned divisions from Port Arthur. Whether any man in his position could have made a better reply to the moves of the Japanese it is perhaps useless to inquire. For it is evident that nowhere on the long front were the Japanese to: be denied, and that, bad he foreseen and prepared for the Banking movement on his right, they were perfectly prepared on bis left to convert a partial feint into the main attack, and to sargo over his denuded fortifications."
The attitude of Confuciani-ra tawards women is severely criticised. Now, so far as Confugas is concerned, he never saya a harsh word against woman. He does warn people that women ara diffent to deal with, and even Mr. Murray, iFo will tell us the truth, must admit that Confucius is right. Why the New Testa ment says much harder things against women. In fact, Paul had quite a low opinion of marriage, and both Jesus and Pani recommend celibacy as the highest virtue. The early Christian fathers looked upon women as un- elean things, and in trath, the elevation of women in Europ is due to Greco Romau influence, and to the survival of old Teutonic instincts towards women Taken as a whole, women, in the course of Chinese history, bave always occupied an honourable place in society and in the house. Confucianist enjoins the proper education of women, but only along special lines. The Western system condemns a woman to submit to her husband, whereas the Confucian teaching is that busband and wife should be "mutually obedian," the one to the other. Anyhow monogamy is not the direct result of Christianity. Nor does Confucianist regard it with contempt.
It is scarcely to the point to compare modern China with modern England.
