RANDOM, REFLECTIONS.
The unity of the nations of the earth was never more apparent than this week in England, where kings aud princes from all parts of the world have assembled to show their respect for the dead and their sorrow for the loss which is more than national.
Ferhaps the most striking feature in connee tion with the sad oveat of Friday was the unanimity with which, the Chinese demonstrated their sympathy and regret by completely suspending business. It shows that the Chinese community and the British community have a closer boud of union under the Crown than seems apparent on the surface.
Newspapers in other parts of the East have been passing comments on the spy incident at Hongkong. It made one smile, however, to read in one journal that a Japanese bad bean com. itted to prison oa à charge of having atretched the Lyaemun Fort."

JAPANESE PRESS TRIBUTIE,
The whole of the Japanese Press is united in expressing its deep sympathy with the British nation in the loss it has sustained in the death the memory of his Majesty, Wo queta an of King Edward, and pays a strong tribute to article from the Tokyo drahi which is typical of the general sentiment expressed by our Japanese contemporaries.
The death of his Majesty, says the journal, is a great blow to Japan. The diplomatic policy of Great Britain, proceeds the journal, which was the principal work his Majesty ongaged in during his nine years' reign, represented the public opin- ion of the British nation.

CURIOUS CONGRESS CUSTOME.
The total appropriations by Congress for 1910 amounted to $1,044,401.857.12. Few people know that five dollars of that sum went for the purchase of snuff for Senators and fifty cents for the purchase of sand, used by Elder states men instead of blotting pads for drying such letters as they write in the Senate in the course of uninteresting specoles. The purchase of Becretary of the Senate, and there is no one in the Secretary's office to-day who remembers when the custom begun.
