DISADVANTAGES OF THE INTRODUCTION OF THE TELEGRAPH.
A prominent English merchant just returned to England from Shanghai after a residence there of half a century has given to the Dally Mail some interesting notes and opinions on the progress of the English settlement at Shanghai since he went out there in the early fifties.
"Life in Shanghai," he says, "is very differ- ent from what it was fifty years ago. Then young men went out on large salaries, con- fidently expecting to make their fortunes and return to England in a few years. Nowadays they go out on small-salaries with the idea of
remaining there, if not for good, at least for a

CHINESE SUPERSTITION.
A PECULIAR CASE.
A case which illustrates the extent to which Chinese superstition can be carried gccurred on Friday aftemoon in the Mixed Court before the Magistrate, Mr. Chang, saya a Shanghai paper. The case had been before the Court in the morning, when an English Assessor was present and Counsel appeared on both sides. The charge was one in which a native detective was accused of abducting a girl already be- trotlied to another man, and the case was left to the Magistrate to decide whether the accused' should be brought before the Court on a criminal charge or not. In the afternoon the witnesses were questioned as to whether the detective had criminal relations with the girl, and this was strenuously denied, even by the girl herself and her mother. In spite of this the Magistrate had the mother beaten in order to make her confess. The detective, who was on his knees, took an oath in the Chinese way, breaking a saucer, that he was Bot guilty of any criminal relations with the girl, but Magistrate, not satisfied with this, desired. another test and proceed to carry it out, His method, to Westerners and civilised people, was most absurd. The girls forefinger was first cut and the blood therefrom, allowed to drop into a bowl of water provided by the Court The detective's finger was next cut and the same proceeding carried out. The Magistrate then held that as the blood mixed, the detective was guilty, and remanded him for trial before the Court on a criminal charge. TRADE MARKS IN CHINA.
The Manchester Chamber of Commerce having written to the Foreign Office on the subject of the fraudulent imitation of registered British trade marks desiring a copy of the instructions to the Commission of which Sir James Mackay is the 'head, in order that the Chamber might be able to know how far the Commissioners may be competent to deal with this further question, has received the follow- ing reply:-
Foreign Office, 29 Oct, 1901, Sir, I laid before the Marquis of Lansdowne your letter to Sir M. Gosselin, ofthe 22nd inst., in which you request that the Manchester Chamber of Commerce may be supplied with a copy of the instructions given to His Majesty's Special Commissioner in China, on the subject of the protection of registered British trade marks. I am directed by his lordship to state that Sir J. Mackay was informed that the securing of adequate protection for foreign- trade marks and inventions was one of the matters with which it would be desirable to deal in the revised treaty, but that no detailed instuctions were given to him on the subject. On this point, as on others connected with the negotiations with which he has been entrusted; he will, on his arrival in China, place himself in communication with those best qualified to give him information as to the views of the commercial communities of Hongkong and the principal Treaty Ports. I am to add that he Secretary of State would be glad to forward to Sir J. Mackay any expression of the views of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce on the above point which they may be desirous of placing on record.-I am, etc.

CHANGING WEDDING CUSTOM IN ENGLAND,

Bridal customs are believed to be more
tethered by convention into a groove than any
other ceremonial, and yet within the past fifty years they have been changed almost out of recognition, a London paper sayt,
The alteration in the canonical hours was responsible for one improvement-namely, the banishing of that long and wearisome fair, the wedding breakfast, at which healths were drunk, speeches made, and the bride cut the cake amid great ex-itement. The speeches were always disliked; but there were at least four, if not five, hours to be lived through, when
two hours.
"This fact has brought about a striking it was not lawful to be married after twelve alteration in the mode of life among the Eng-clock noon, and hence the breakfast was ish out there.
