In each case the Union occupies the canton or upper part of the hairt, but whereas in the red and blue ensigns the remainder of the Bag is of the chlor indicated by Its name, the white ensign has upon it the red cross of St. George extending over the whole field. This was for a long time the distinguishing fing of England. The national flag of Scotland is a white saltire, or St. Andrew's crass upon a blue field-technically, azure, a saltire, argent-and what it has been customary to describe as the flag of Ireland is a red saltire upon a white field.

Strictly speaking, however, Ireland never had a national flag. Before the invasion of 1172 the petty king who was elected to the chief place continued to use his own standard. For some time subsequent to 1172 the standard of Ireland bore three golden crowns on a blue field. Henry VII substituted harps for crowns, for fear, it is said, that the latter might be taken for the triple Crown of the Pope; but as Mr. Macgeorge points out, the harp did not appear in the royal standard

societies, too, refuse to divide up the field of labor among them, either geographically or otherwise. Every one selects its own place and sphere of activity and, therefore, they overlap each other frequently, with the result that the Chinamen are confused as to what Christianity really is, and the crafty among them have a chance to make the competition between the converting agencies the means of material profit. An ostensible convert is a prize so desirable that they compel the societies to bid handsomely to get such a proof of success. As a consequence, what are known as "rice Christians," people a reward for who obtain daily rations as conversion, bave always been numerous among the clever Chinamen.

LEASEHOLD Residential Property situate in Garden Road, Victoria, Hongkong, opposite the Albany and known as "Harperville" and comprising Inland Lot No. 1213 and Section C of Inland Lot No. 648, with a total area of 19,100 square feet,

Yet, all told, the number of converts, or com- municants, in the whole of that vast population of more than 400,000,000, was only 14.555 at the end of 1888. The number of missionaries, too, is increasing faster, proportionately, than the aggregate of converts. In 1887.there were 1,030 on the union of the crowns of England and communicants each; and in 1888 the 1,123 Scotland, the first union flag was formed by the missionaries had an average of 30.8 com combination of St. George's Cross with the municants for each. Still, the number of schools saltire of Scotland, and it appears that this flag established by these Christian agents is increas. was used for ships only, though it was not thening, and they are doubtless of much secular worn in, the ensign, but was used separately an
value in teaching Chinamen to speak English. the "jack staff on the bowsprit, as the Union Jack, properly so-called, now is. To clear this paint up once and for all, let us say that it is held by the best nuthorities that, in spite of the usage of the War Office to the contrary, the flag usually "called the Union Jack ought to be spoken of as the Union flag, and is only to be described by its ordinary title, when a small edition of it is used as a "'inck," that is, is flown from the jack-staff situated formerly on the bowsprit and now in the bows of a man-of-war.
During the Commonwealth, the Parliament expunged the Scottish cross with its blue field from the Union, and introduced the Irish harp, in the fly of the ensign, but the Restoration sax the old fing reintroduced, and on the union with Ireland at the beginning of the present century the Irish sallie was added to it, and the flag assumed its present form. It must be admitted that, from a heraldic point of view, it can scarcely be called an eminent success. The written dis- cription, or verbal blazon, given of it was correct enough, but the dag has never been made in accordance with that description. The white and sed saltires-or diagonal crosses, if we may so say-of Scotland and England are "counter charged," that is, while in the first and third quarters the white is uppermost, in the second and fourth the red is uppermost. But in order to meet a law of heraldry that color la not be placed upon color, or metal upon metal, it is necessary that when the red crosses of England and Ireland come in contact with the blue ground of the flag they should be 'fimbriated," in other words, separted by a very narrow border, in this case of white. This has been dope in regard to the Irish saltire, but the border which is uniformly placed round the cross of St. George is so wide that it is not a "fimbriation" at all, but forms another cross upon which the red emblem of St. George is superimposed.

But the actuni fruits of Christian effort for the conversion, of China have been insignificant in comparison with the enormous amount of money and labor expended. How much it costs annually to maintain the forty competing societies does not appear from the statistics, but the sum must reach millions of dollars; and the most of it, probably nine-tenths of the money, is utterly wasted, and worse than wasted, for it keeps alive the contest between conflicting doctrines, which produces perplexity and amusement among the natives. One hundred missionaries, who divided up the Z ETLAND country among them, no one interfering with any other, and all inculcating the same Christianity, could accomplish more than all these 1,100 com peting teachers. That is the method pursued by the Roman Catholic Church, whose success is consequently much greater,

As it is now, the number of converts is by no means proportionate to the number of mission. aries employed by a society. The China Inland Mission, an English society, has 316 missionaries and 130 helpers, with only 32ark communicants and 153 pupils in its schools. The Presbyterian Mission from this country, with less that a third as many missionaries and fewer native helpers, has 3 788 communicants and 2,352 pupils in its schools; and the American Methodists, with only eighty missionaries and a 34 native helpers, have 3.903 communicants and 1,288 pupils. The sect known as Bible Christians has six missionaries and only three converts, or hall a convert pr missionary. The Foreign Christian Missionary Society is worse off, with only two converts to seven missionaries, while the Quakers have succeeded in making ne converts at all, though they maintain one missionary, his wife,and two THE FUNDS single women,
Of course, Christian missionary effort has been of much indirect benefit to China and the outside world, but that would not have been lessened, it would have been increased, if there had been fewer missionaries and greater harmony in their teachings. The prodigality of the expenditures on these mostly futile efforts for the conversion of the Chinese is appalling, and the folly of the competition between the different agencies is childish.

Mr. Laughton, in his Heraldry of the Sea," suggests that it was done purposely to mark an ancient tradition of the combination of the red cross of England with the white cross of France. This, however, cannot have been the case, as the written blazon removes all doubt as to what was intended. The Union flag is seldom lown at sea, except as a part of the ensign. When Her Majesty is on board anyvessel it is hoisted on the mizzen mast, the royal standard being holsted on the mainmast and that of the Lord High Admiral on the foremast. It flies from the maintinst as the fisg of an Admiral of the Flect, and it is hoisted, we believe, on board a ship on which a court-martial is taking place. It was inserted in the ensign in 1707, previous to which date, the latter bore the English cross in the canton. The royal standard of this country bas varied considerably from time to time. At it beare the army of England in the first present and fourth quarters, Scotland in the second and Ireland in the third. It may not be generally known that the Prince of Wales has a standard of his own, which is always hoisted when he is on board a ship. It is the same as a 'royal standard, except that it bears, to use heraldic language, a label argent of three points, with the arms of Saxony on an escutcheon of pretense.

There is obviously much more that might be written regarding the use of flags afloat.
