BRITISH PARLIAMENTARY LIFE is an expensive hobby, for the general election of 1900, according to a return lately issued, cost the candidates as much as 777,429 os. There were 1,103 candidates (or 670 vacancies) so that each man's bill averaged rather more than £700. The reward for this outlay was a total of 3,519,345 votes." I he cost of a parlin- mentary vote, therefore, may be reckoned as averaging 49. 4d.
A REMARKABLE STATEMENT is made in a Peking dispatch to the Asahi. It is reported, that while the Emperor of China was on his way from the South Park the other day a bullet bissed over his head. It is generally believed, says the correspondent, that this was the result of a trick played by a foreign soldier. If so, it is, to be hoped that the foreign soldier will be discovered. Some extraordinary things have been done by foreign troops in China, but this latest appears almost incredible.

In this connection it is also reported that the China Merchants Co. is now under the control of the High Commissioner of Northren Trade (that is the Viceroy of Chihli) which Sheng, who has hitherto had a free hand, does not at all like, especially as Yuan Shib-kai, who is known to be a straightforward man in business; is, anxious to 'interfere with the company's management and has appointed Taotai Shen Tae-mai 'as one of the Directors to look after his interests in its management.-China Gazette,

This is what the Kobe Herald thinks:-

it long ago in the days when they actually went to school, its name has passed away from them like the memory of our friend's kindness a week ago. I don't know if it is generally noticed, but the fact is the British post office people often derange matters so that some mail matier from England comes to hand here two days and three days later than it night. The people in London in this matter have just that amount of capacity for business which is able to commit a blunder in the act of scheming to do a "smart thing." Two mails-say a P. & O. and a Canadian-are about to leave England.
JUGGINSES.
They-the British Post Office folks-look up their schedules and find that the Canadian Mail promises to land the bags in Yokohama a little in front of the P. & O., or practically at the same time,. This setiles the matter for the whole of Japan. The Mails for Japan are held over from the P, & 0.-such part of them at any rate as is not specially directed via Brindisi and sent via Canada. The result is mostly all right for Yokohama but it commonly happens that the P. & O. mail is delivered in Kobe two days or even three before. the Japanese Post Office jugginses" on their Part are able to get the Kobe part of the Canadian mail on a Japanese express at 15 miles an hour, not including rexts, Shanghai
has its mail by P. & O. and Yokohama comes out all right with the Empress arriving there' on time, but Kabe "plunks" down in that ancient and coinfortable seat which is placed between two stools. Thus, most often a part- never the whole of course-of our Canadian

For many years past the carriage of the Iribute rice from Shanghai to Tongku has been a sore question between the two great British 20 coasting lines and the China Merchants. The entire trade, a very large one, went exclusively to the Chinese company, who looked upon this contract-at a high figure-as something, given in lieu of a subsidy, which the C. M. Co. had often applied for but could never obtain from the Chinese Government. Forty percept of the rice was carried by the C. M. Co's steamer and 60 per cent. by júnks, which went up the Grand Canal, a slow and an even more costly mode of transport than if carried by steamer. But the junk owners were influential and closely connected with officials who had a pull," as the Americans say, in this highly lucrative contract. Of the total of 60,000 sal
