Hong Kong is ahead of Shanghai, the next largest supplier, whose annual total of trade, in such articles is about $1,500,000. Japan, third on the list, supplies China with $1,000,000 worth these goods annually. America ex- ports direct to China some 3500,000 worth of cosmetics, powders, creams and perfumes cach year, having execeded the trade of France which equntry until very recently wus the chief supplier to the Chinese. At the present time
France, supplies 2400,000 annually. Great Britain $190,000 and Germany $80,000 direct. The Hong Kong total, of course," does not represent goods manufactured in the port, but articles, imported from Europe and America and re-exported to various ports in China.
Other suppliers of perfumes, the Nether cosmetics, etc., are lands, Canada, Belgium, Italy, etc., but their totals are insignificant.

was unable to get into the house of the Poo On Chinese Herbs Com- pany, without help. After taking the herba in the neighbourhood of two weeks, I threw away my erutcher and now I am able to walk naturally. My wrists are free from all swelling and stiffness and all pais has left me. I sleep well every night and eat everything I want. I go anywhere and can walk one or two miles a day with- out distress or difficulty. My only complaint is that I cannot chew because my teeth are all gone. I cat things I am able to without my teeth and everything digests fine. My case seemed so impossible and so many doctors had given me up. I certainly feel that the Poo On Chinese Herbs have done wonders for me. I cannot say enough to praise them.

AMERICAN DIVORCE LAW.
VIEWS OF THE CLERGY.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17th.
A special commission of the Episcopal Church, which has been investigating the divorce evil in the United States, to-day submitted a report in which it failed to recom- wenda change in divorce laws of the church.
The commission said that the major reasons for the current in- " crease in divorce are:-
Breakdown of home life in the United States.
Hasty marriages, undertaken without adequate consideration of the gravity of the step or the suit- ability of the parties.
Sex tension, due to a variety of causes inherent in present-day ex istence.
Läck of practical training for marriage.
Crowded conditions in the cities, causing too proximity of all mem- bers of the family and a conse- quent tendency to development of
nerves"
Since virtually all these factors are at present beyond the scope ole the church, being caused by far- reaching changes in society due la large part to industralism and economic changes, no solution for then could be found by the com- I mission, it was said."
