The Universal Guette of 15th ́inst says that According to the Coblenews, word has been it is now decided to open Anching (or Ngan received in Manila to the effect that the Uragaking), the capital of An-hui, to trade as a treaty Dock Company of Tokio. has agreed to accept the Iruposition regarding the can selling of a contract for the supply of beats for the Insular Gövernment. We learn that when the Government decided to extend the Coast Guard Transportation and Lighthouse Service, somewhat over a year ago, was found necessary to have at least fifteen beats constructed for the purpose.
Bids were solicited for the building of these bonts under the management of Commander Marix, Captain of the Port, who then had charge of the Coast Guard Service. When the bids were opened, the contract for building ten of the proposed boats was let to Farnham Hoyd & Company, of Shɛnghai, and the re- maining five were to be built by the Uraga The entire Christian population of Kru-Dock Company.

To-day there are hree Powers hoying uphill work in their efforts to get even with Russia; not Great Britain alone, by any means.

This country concluded to stick to her own sphere as of more importance than speculative ventures. The United States and Japan, acting in conjunction, have applied for the same privileges in Manchuria. The wisdom of the United States in taking Japan as a partner in an enterprise of this sort, is, of it. Japan is a most gallant little nation, course, open to doubt, bai that is none of our

Japan is not an idol of worship to China by any means, and it is difficult to imagine anything that can so violently stir the blood of Russia. For many months past there has been a smouldering con. flict between Russia and Japan, and, if reports from the Far East. are to be believed, if may soon develop into an open fight. The latest news has it that 150 Russian soldiers have crossed the Yalu to the Corean side of the given recently to Japan, though this trans- river, a clear violation of the solemn pledges

As the matter is likely to be of con- siderable importance we give the agreement which reads as follows:-
I
11. The Korean Covernment hereby grants the Russian Timber Company the lease of land at Yong Am-pho, The boundary of such Icased land shall be seuled between the Russian Minister at Seoul and the Korean Minister of Foreign Affairs
2. Laud tax for such leased land shall be paid by the said Company to the Korean Government,
3. Korean-owned timber r.fis shall be bought by the said Company at reasonable prices.
4. In case of Korean graves being removed from within the boundaries of the leased land the Company shall award compensation to the families to whom the graves belong.
s All Koran criminals caught within the boundaries of the lased land shall be handed over in the Korean'authorities; similarly Rus sian criminals are to be handed over to the Russian authorities.
6. The Russian lessees shall not graze or feed their horses or rattle outside the bound. aries of the leased land.
It may be interesting also to China readers to explain that there are four companies engaged in the timber business along the Yalu River. It is a very extensive and remunerative industry. The profis from the sale of timber følted in the Chang pashan (Long White Mountain) at Antunghsien, alone, in 1.500.000 laels per annum, and this brauch of the trade was up to recently the monopoly of the Chinese. Now the Russian timber felling company having been established, the Russians are taking ali the profits away from the Chinese.
The principal concerns engaged in the Yalu
timber trade are:
1. Russian Timber Company. The head of this Company is Capt. Matailoff, while Baron Gunsburg is the Co's agent at Seoul. The com- pany haught land at Young Am-pho upon which a saw mil, factory, lacksmith's shop, houses, offices and stares, etc. have been built. The company is new laying a cable to Anung hsien placing ferries on the river, and repairing the roads in fuct usurping « the fur ctions of a government. There are several hundreds of Russian-toldiers on the Antung.hṣien, or Chinese, side of the Yalu river.
Į
The Goverment then called a holt, and notified the Company that the boats were not up to the stipulated requirements of the con- tract and that none of the others would be received.
There are three of the boats yet uncompleted which will be rejected, the contract having
been cancelled. The Government had made
payments of these boats somewhat in advance of the work which had been done on them according to the terms of the agreement. The Company would not consent to refund the
arivance payments to the Government, but made a concession which was virtually as good.
When be contract was originally entered into for the construction of the boats, the Com- pany deposited with the Insular Government a certified cheque for a large sun is a guaranted that the contract would be peil.rmed in ac- cordance with its terms and that the work done should be up to the standard agreed upon.
The Company sent its representative to Mauile, and as a result a compromise was effected the contract being cancelled, the boats rejected and the guarantee cheque of the Company forfeited,

In the course of a series of articles of this subject, Prof. W. J. Simpson deals with the" question of fond and general principles of diet, in the course of which he states:-In countries which are hot, in which animals are scarce of liable to parasitic disease, where oxen, are valuable as beasts of burden, and where fruits and vegetables are abundant, the inhabitants as a rule live mainly on a vegetable, diet. In India there are Hindoos who take no animal food beyond that of milk and ghee, which is a form of melted butter. There are others who take fish and eggs, and others who eat certain kinds of meat, but abstain from eating beef or pork, Though cereal grains as a rule form the chie! foods of the inhabitants of hot countries, rice being the staple food wherever there is plenty of water and rain, still there are large populations even in hot climate. whose food is of an animal nature In cold countries, where different conditions, ON London, Telegraphic Transler .................1/9} Bank Bills, on demand....1,9 13/16 prevail, the inhabitants are chiefly ment-eaters,

The Esquimaus are an animal feeding people, and eat large quantities nf fat, which supply fuel to keep up the temperature of the body under conditions of intense cold. Time crystallises these customs into fixed habits, which cannot be readily changed without risk of injury to health. Meat-eaters are likely to suffer if they suddenty change into grain-caters, and vice verd, grain. eaters suffer if they change to meat-eaters. The large quantities of starchy food which grain-enters consume and experience po diffi- culty in digesting would be injurious to a meat eater, while the less bulky but more nutritious fuad of the meat-eater would not satisfy the hunger of a grain-eat/r or fruitarian.
