That, as silver must be used in that trade, it will be to Bagland's advantage the and to encourage its use, in connection with gold, for carrying on that trade, irrespective of the part which silver must play in the administration of our Indian Empire.

That there can bo little question now as to

whether the Indian experiment bolster up silver has been a failure. That no single-handed patching-up of a serious matter ko that of the Silver question was ever expected to succeed. That the failure hoa, therefore, been look

Such reasoning was, of course, too transparently falso to take in anybody. That another version was more ingenious, namely, that silver pieces thing alla same price only gold more doar !?" That John Chinaman may be left with convenient explanations of the silver safety to invent and act upon the most

That Mr Henniker Heaton, M.P., seetan to import more of the personal element into his letter than did Mr Piordten, if I remember rightly the epiatte con refer- red to by the M.P.

That the caloalotion made, to show that cheaper telegrams would bring in more money is easy enough: 2000 words at oan billing per word will bring in a much as 1000 words at two shillings. That while tbare can be no doubt cheap postage and ebeap telegrams are acons- saries to an expansive commercial nation, it is not surprising that faventers who work the telegraphis business desire to see either a reasonable prospect of geltiag the 9000 ahilling words inataad of the 1000 two-shilling words before they reduce their rates, or receive a guarnated against loss.

lecture on Athlolies, is admirable nearly every particular. That the main difkoulty in following it-a dihculty which is frequently observable -is, that one must be a millioquire. or ut least a gentleman of independent means aed with no responsibilities. That most of us have to obey the old rule, what thy band indeth to do, do with all they might,' and this duty, I ebould say, will stand in the way of much of the excellent advice given in the lecture referred to.

That the minimum of 6 miles a day for walking must, I am afraid, be ranked amongst the scattainable things in the Far East.

That what most people would say, if they were in the habit of getting out of breath by climbing uphill or walking upstaire, would be to take a chair up the bill and to live in a bungalow.

That it would be a pleasant change to hold assemblies at noon, instead of

danc and go in for tiffin in lieu of supper (or jam-tarts), except for the exigencies of duty and workaday molling and toiling.
