In the full account of Dr. M. A. Stein's Journey of Geographical and Archæological Exploration in Chinese Turkestan, which appears in the Geographical Journal, some interesting detalla are given of the result of his researches among unexplored ruins some miles from Niya. He says that his excavations brought to light many very interesting objects illustrating the industrial prts of a remote period, observing that broken pieces of arms, bousehold implements, a musical instrument, and similar objects of domestic use, all of wood, help vividly to bring before our eyes the conditions of everyday life of this distant region in the first centuries of our era.
The character and conditions of the articles found within the houses plainly showed that

The very numerous finds, extending over the whole area, incinde only copper pieces of the Chinese Han dynasty, whose reign came to a close in A.D 220. The use of wood as the only writing material, apart from leather, is also a proof of great antiquity. The use of paper for writing purposes is attested in Chinese Tar: kestan from at least the fourth century A.D. onwards; yet among all the ruined houses and ancient rubbishheaps not the smallest scrap of paper was discovered.

THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE. It is a feeling common to the majority of us that we do not get quite the amount of hap. piness we are entitled to. Among the countless things which tend to make us more or less miserable ill health takes first place. Hannaḥ More said that sin was generally to be attri bured to bilicusness. No doubt a crippled liver with the resulting impure blood, is the cause of more mental gloom than any other single thing. A chronic dyspeptic, says an eminent English physician, is always on the verge of a mental upset. And who can reckon up the fearful aggregate of pain, loss
and fear arising from the many ailments and diseases which are familiar to mankind. Like a vast cloud it hangs over a multitude no one can number. You can see these people every where. Forthern life can scarcely be said to have any "bright side at all. Hence the

Each document intended as a letter or record of some importance, whether. wedge-shaped or oblong, is provided with a carefully fitted covering piece or envelope bearing the address of "decket" entry. An ingeniously designed system of fastening with a string and a neatly inserted clay seal prevented unauthorized inspection of the contents,
The remarkable series of clay seals discover- ed on these tablets is of exceptional interest; because it furnishes most convincing evidence of the influence which classical Western art has exercised even in distant Khotan. A fre- quently recurring seal, probably that of on official, shows the figure of Pallas Athene, with shield and regis, treated in archaic fashion, Another fine seal is that of a well-modeled
naked figure of pure classical outline, perhaps a seated Eros. On others, again, appear por- trait-bends showing classical modeling, though
barbarian features.
It is well known how classical art had estab. lished its influence in Bactria, and on the North-West Frontier of India. But there was little to prepare us for such tangible proofs of the fact that it had penetrated to much further to the east, to half-way between West- ern Europe and Peking. Professor Karabacek bas traced the remains of a Greek legend, apparently a magic formula, impressed on the edge of one of the clay seals, containing in its centre the figure of Athene Promachos.
From the contents of the documents bem- selves we may confidently expect much fresh light upon a chapter of Central Asian history and civilization; which until now has seemed almost entirely lost. Owing to the great number of the texts, the cursive character of the script, and peculiar difficulties connected

As some writers in Shanghai have suggested that in order to establish a Cold Currency China should increase her gold indebtedness by borrowing the necessary gold, I would like to quote a passage from a paper read before the Institute of Bankers in London on 5th March, 1902, by Mr. Cornelius Rozenraad, a Fellow of the Institule, and an expert in Italian Finance. In 1887 Italy bormwed 644 million | HIGH CLASS PORTRAITURE IN ALL lire, to remit to Italy for the purpose of abolish ing the forced currency in that country.
