He often has a habit of making a sudden rush for any wide doorway which resembles that of an inn, and in turning corners he not infrequently hexitstei a moment and then plunges impetuously forward to the imminent danger of the lives of these in | the often crowded streets. He sometimes play. fully mounts the narrow porticos in front of the shept as if to pursue his journey there porticos are supported by posts slight in structure and merely resting upon their supports (not let into them by a mortise) so that a very moderate traction would apparently suffice to pull down a whole row of them, and demolish the entire font of a building. With a particularly antic horse in the lead, one frequently travels through Chinese, towns with with his heart in his mouth, lest some disaster of this sort should take place. The phlegmatic carter, however, wastes no sentiment When he observes that his leading horse is about to do some serious mischief of this kind, he merely remarks authoritatively Huz lai, hus laf (come back, come back), and the animal always | comes back, but why he does not keep on that he may have the pleasure of seeing the building tumble we cannot explain. The risks to pedestrians from Chinese carts, even in the fow cities having wide streets, such as Peking, Moukden, and some in Shaust, is not incon- siderable. But in the ordinary Chinese city of narrow streets, the danger is indefinitely greater. It is the universal Chinese theory that the public streets belong primarily to the persons living adjacent to them, secondarily to those who have for any purpose taken possession of them, and only incidentally to the general public who wish to traverse them, Upon this simple theory every Chinese puts out in the

Merchants would add to their store in anticipation of good demand and high prices. But would "moderate" notice of war be given? Everything tends to show there would be no such warning, Sir George goes on to say that he has expressed no thought that justifica a conclusion that a measure of insurance would in any way form a substitute for our pavy; on the contrary, if there in any truth in the statement and figares, it tends to establish how necessary it is to maintain a navy "sufficient for our needs,” and that the stronger, more efficient, and better organized our fleet is, the greater is the probability of the maintenance of peace, and of security and access should war unhappily arise. It is not possible to deal with, the rules and regulations in detail that would have to be established to carry out a system of national Insurance. No doubt there are difficulties ; but is that any reason, if the object in right and is approved, why they should not be surmounted? The great public interests that are involved should be primarily considered. Surely the object is worth consideration with the view to provide an entirely satisfactory solution of a most difficult problem. No arguments against a scheme of national insurance to be carried out only when in a state of war have been brought forward that have not presented themselves to, and been overcome by, the present system of Insurance against ordinary risks,-London Insurance.

'varieties of articles, many of them of the most fragile description, heap up their wares by the side of the street, and whoever impinges upon them does so at his peril. This is especially the case in towns and cities during the time of the bolding of markets, the rights of which for the time being take precedence of every other human interest. In traversing a great provincial capital during the early hours when the market for vegetables is at its height, the waiter has had his carter seized by a stalwart villager, one of whose crates blocking up the highway had been run inte, for which he demanded reparation. It was nothing to the market-man whether the cart could or could not get by; his busi- ness was to sell his vegetables. It is related of Sydney Smith that he complained to one of his parishioners that the streets of Yo-k were so narrow that it was hardly poss bla. for wiggons to pass one another. The parishe iorer indignantly denied the charge, and room enough to pass, affirmed that there wi5 and two inches to spare Most Chinese cities are either of this type or more probably have
avenues so narrow that for carts to pass orie another is obviously impossible, and should they happen to meet in such alleys, it is necessary for one of them to be forced backward to the nearest crossing-which, as Chinese animals are seldom taught to back, is a work of difficulty and involving múch time. In many country towns, to say that a market is in progress is equivalent to saying that the streets are utterly impassable to wheled vehicles, and travellers must find some other and circuitous route. The responsibility of the carter for any damage which his cart or his animals may cause is a most serious matter. As in other Chinese, affairs the law of re ponsibility takes no account of the possibilities of the case, but simply of the results. The carter who runs over a man renders himself liable to a banishment of two years and

On the great plain of northern China, the country is nearly as flat as central China, but as there are practically no canale, the cart-roads furnish the principal means of communication, art north-western provinces the more or less narrow valleys are the only plains, and are traversed both by carts and mule litters.

If the mules' take fright and run, the litter, being loosely set upon a heavy frame which is a part of the sad- die-pad of the mules, rocks from side to side, and eventually comes violently to the ground. Is a case of this sort, a friend of the writer who was horrified to see the litter which contained them dashed down, and the child pitched out of the side window. The father rushed up to find that the child had been thrown into a bush, and was unhurt. The little boy, conscious that something had gone wrong and judging from previous experiences that in some way he had probably subjected himself to just criticism, made haste to apologise with the remark: “Freddy must be caraful"! We have seen mule litters thrown down on a level road when there appeared to be no cause whatever for the accident, and on the imperfect and often dangerous paths which lead across precipitous mountains it is not to be wondered at if travellers are sometimes put in extreme peril and occasionally experience serious mishaps.

In the July number of the United Servica Magazine a further article by Sir George Tryon in advocacy of his proposal that the state should, during a period of war, insure ships and cargoes against war risks appears. It has been sug gested (Sir George says) that the state should raise a fund by charging a fixed percentage pa ships and cargoes-to be paid by owners towards covering losses incurred at the hands of an enemy. It is clear that if this plan were adopted the owners of vessels that are the most costly to build and to run; those that are the fastest and least likely to be taken; those
