Nerve Strain-
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 24TH, 1914.
Mr. B. C. HUCKS (the well-known Flying Man), of 5, Queen's Gate Terrace, London, England, writes:- "I really must express my appreciation of Phosferine. Some time back I felt myself in a curious state of nervous tension, brought on, no doubt, by the severe strain caused by flying under all sorts of weather conditions for the Daily Mail tour. I had an idea that my nerves were becoming shaken. I was advised to try Phosferine, and was quite astonished at the beneficial effect produced by even the first few doses. I am now feeling more 'fit' than ever and ready to start upon a season's flying that promises to be considerably more arduous than the last."
No other medicine has received such absolute proof of its extraordinary properties in restoring Shattered Constitutions, and in giving back to the prematurely aged New Life and Energy.

"THE CHINESE: PEOPLE,''
A JURY OF WOMEN.
FIRST TIME IN LONDON FOR 34 YEARS.:
Dr. Moule modestly describes this
For the first time since 1679 a jury of volume as handbook, but he has given women was empanelled at the close of an us something very much more than Old Bailey trial last month. handbook. He presents us with a very valuable picture of perhaps the most interesting, as it is the most ancient, nation on earth. In part this is due to bis erudition and skill as a writer; i part it is due to the subject with which he deals, and the object he has in view.
That object is, in his own words, to furnish students particularly students

For students his work is simply invaluable as a stimulus and guide, and he has added to its value by giving & very full bibliogenphy, carefully arranged to illustrate the sections into which his book is divided.

But what distinguishes this honk from other works of the handbook type is this
that his subject demands an examina tion of records, historic or traditional). of the remotest antiquity. A handbook of modern China is necessarily a review of 4,000 years, -
The jury found the prisoner guilty, with a strong recommendation to mercy, and Mr. Justice Ridley, without assuming the black cap, passed sentence of death.
Asked if she had anything to say in stay of execution, Mrs. Williams pleaded her condition of expected motherhood.
The Judge then ordered a jury of matrons to be empanelled, and the uses went into the various Courts and collected 1g women, who entered the jury box in place of the male jury who had tried the

It is interesting to learn that of all natious. the Chinese were the earliest to use rhyme as a form of expression, and it is curious to note how. by their use of short, staccato lines, their poems resemble the Norse Sagas..
A POET'S OUTBURST.
Here are verses, in which a patrist describes his despair when contemplating the anarchy of China 2,000 years ago The country is pictured as wrapped in snow, where the red of the fox and black of the crow are the only flowers. Observe how aptly the translator reproduces the monosyllabic language:— 1
North wind blows cold Thick falls the snow Lovers And Triejus, Juin hands, and..
All false all Yoin, Huste, haste away.
Moans the sad wind; Thick drifts the snow! Lovers and friends, Home, let us go. All false, all vain, Haste, baste away,
Red fox for dowers, Black row for gloom! Levers and friends, Ride with ac hume. All fate, all vain, Haste. haste away.
A MASTERLY SURVEY.
Dr. Moule makes the main object of his book the study of the religion of China. Perhaps more than in the case of any other nation such a study is essential to the comprehension of the social and political life of the Chinese. We do not renienter ever to have risen from the perusal of such a subject with a greater sense of having been enabled to grasp its essential facts. Dr. Mouls shows us the effect of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism on the earlier religion of China, and on the Monotheism which was the basis of the rather estoteric worship of Shang-Ti, and how those faiths themselves influenced the later ereeds. Ho discusses the intensely interesting question how far Nestorian Christianity has coloured. the Chinese religion, and what influence Judaism and Manicheism had upon it. We cannot but admire the breadth of ind which. Dr. Moule brings to this question of religion. As an example we might quote a passage in which he suggests that Christianity might in some degree assimilate some of the forms of the old Chinese faith, Alluding to the prohibi- tion of ancestor worship by the Roman Catholic Church, he says:
But unless the ruthless and precipitate action of the new rule in China sweeps away all traces of ancient. Chinese litera- tore and education, civilisation, and inmemorial custom, this episode and the whole subject of ancestor worship bring. forward the question whether the Church should not interfere, and suggest to the awakened and educated Chinese "generally the duty and the advisability of reverting to their primitive principles and definitions: of reverent and loving commemoration and memory and continuaree of the lives and example of the long dead, stripped of superstition, and false worship. A Christian rite may further he sanctioned For the Christian dead, fully satisfying all Chinese clinging to the past, and fully justifying Christians against the charge of undutifulness and neglect of the memory and love of the departed.
Dr. Moule does not view the sudden political awakening" of China with much hopeful confidence. Especially, as indeed is natural, he dreads the spread of materalism, the sweeping away of old faiths without the substitution of others. -The Globe,
