It seems that the Queen of Holland is about to lose her husband for a short time. Prince Henry has consented to visit the Dutch colonial possessions in the Far East, where the Achinese, after sporadic fighting for nearly half a centry, are believed to have been at last subjugated. Preparations for the journey are already being made, and the Prince Consort expects to start about Jutic. The tour will last about three months. The Dutch colonies have not been visited by any member of the reign- ing house since the late King's sailor brother

The piece The Tyranny of Tears," a four act comedy by Haddon Chambers, is with some real pathos. It is the story of the full of bright dialogue and clever satire, domestic difficulties of a popular author, by name Clemens Parbury (Mr. Brough), who has his friends owing to his wife's jealousy. Being had to give up most of his pleasures and all a busy man with a large correspondence, he has engaged a secretary, a lady who is young and by way of being strong minded. This lady is surprised by Mrs. Parbury (Miss Grace Nable) in the act of kissing Mr. Parbury's photograph. Mrs. Parbary, a young and is so enraged at what she has seen, that she beautiful, but very selfish and jealous woman insists on the secretary leaving the house at once. This the secretary (Miss Clara Wood- ward) refuses to do. In the midst of a rather Parbury enters. His wife tells him that she heated discussion between the ladies, Mr. wishes the secretary to leave at once. This Mr. Parbury refuses to consent to unless ac- desire. Weary of his wife's invariable habit of quainted with his wife's reason for this sudden resorting to tears whenever she wishes to gain her own ends, he absolutely refuses to affo his secretary to go, especially as that lady position and does not wish to resign her post declares that she is quite satisfied with her it is at this juncture that an old friend of Mr. Parbury's, George Gunning, whom he has not him, in the course of a long talk over old times, seen for over five years, comes to call. To Mr. Parbury tells the story of his unfortunate cynical man of the world, is very anxious that dispute with his wife. Gunning, a blasé and his chura Parbury should come for a short yachting trip with him. When this project is proposed to Mrs. Parbury, and, in the absence of Mr. Gunning, she is told that the invita tion does not include herself, she as usual has recourse to tears, and also as usual her hus the project. Later, Mrs. Parbury, convinced band, rather than continua the scene, gives up apparently that her husband does not love her,

That night Mrs. Parbury's father, Col Armytage (Mr. daughter tells him of her decision to leave her Reginald Dartrey).is dining with them, and his husband. He, thinking that it is only a slight. lover's quarrel which will blow over, takes her away with him. Atte
Next morning when Parbury and Gunning owing to a late sitting the night before, the are breakfasting principally on champagne, Colonel turns up and, during a temporary absence of Parbury, informs Gunning of his daughter's presence in another part of the gar den, and enlists Gunning's help in order to set matters right.

MR. ALEXANDER MICHIE'S LECTURE, Yesterday evening in the St. Andrew's Hall, City Hall, a lectura on the above, subject was delivered under the auspices of the Hong- kong Odd Voluntes Society, by Mr. Alexander Michie, the chair being taken by H. E the Govenor The audience was a large and representative one and included Lady and Miss
Blake.
His Excellency the Governor said that those present had been invited to hear a lecture from. troduction to any Far Eastern audience, as Mr. Alexander Michie, who required no in- his literary reputation was so well known, and his last brilliant work, "An Englishman in China' was now being doyoured with avidity by averybody who could beg, borrow, or buy a copy: The subject of the tecture, was the political obstacles to missionary work in China, and was one of absorbing in- for the past three hundred years, and much terest to every student of the history of China affected the present position of affairs. It could not be ignored in any profitable exam- ination of the present position in China. To those who had the good fortune to read Mr. Michie's writings
assurance was necessary that the lecture would be instructive and inter eating, and would be listened to with pleasure by those who were in attendance., His Ex- cellency then introduced Mr. Michie,
The lecture was as follows:- With the exception of a few extremists who glory in the contemplation of martyrdom, who regard the effusion of blood as no drawback whatever to the propagation of their faith, mer attends missionary operations in China. Perio. of all classes must deplore the violence which dical outrages, destruction of life and property, savage passions incessantly inflamed spreading like a bush-fire among the Chinese people, holocausts of adherents to foreign sects: such things are all too frequent and too wide spread to be attributed to local or accidental circum- stances. The root causes of these ever re- current phenomena must be constant, and they must be general. And so long as the root causes remain it is obvious that similar effects must be expected to show themselves. How far the ramifications' of these untoward effects extend is probably but faintly realisable by persons at a distance from the scene.
