There are thousands of imitations of the 5 cent nickel cain, as mostly all the office smuggle machines into the country to establish business of their own in making these nickels The machines come from Japan mostly..
It is said that last year in the small province of Kwangha alone there were made about six hundred thousand dollars worth of nickels. Consequently the nickels are at discount of over thirty per cent. The copper cent here is, worth more than the nickel.

To judge by General Linevitch's report on the departure of the Russian troops from the railway between Yangtson and Shanhaikunn, their behaviour to the Chinese has been sadly misrepresented by some of the correspondents in the north. The General says in a report telegraphed to St. Petersburg by ́Admiral ́Al- exicff!-
"At every point 1 met with expressions of genuine and sincere feeling on the part of the Chinese on their separation from the Russian soldiers. Everywher the Chinese came in procession, presented and salt to the troops, and hospitably received them. Deputa tions of Chinese also came to me at the dif ferent stations, sincerely thanking me for har- ing protected their houses from rabbers.

The Whitechapel Art Gallery. Lord Rosebery, on 12th ulto, opened the permanent Art Gallery, which has been erected in Whitechaped, at a cost of £16,000. Mr. Lawson, L.C.C., who presided over the inaug aral proceedings, recalled the fact that twenty years ago his lordship had opened the first picture'exhibition in that quaiter of London. In the course of his speech Lord Rosebery referred to changes that had been wrought in the life of the East-end by educational found ations such as Toynbee fall and by the Lon- don Country Council. He could not help believing that the influence of such a gallery as that was wholly beneficent. They must not expect that a ruugh would become transformed by the mere contemplation of a Fra Angelico, but they were offering him a civilising agency, and if he availed himself of his opportunity it could not fail to have most favourable results.
