SOCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL PRO- GRESS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.
It is not a story of decadence that is tobul
in the instructive series of diagrams prepar ed by the Board of Trade for the Social Economy Section of the St. Louis Exhibi- tion. It is true that since 1853 there has boon a decrease from about 89 to about 60 million bushels 37.5 per cent. in the con- sumption of home-grown wheat, while the use of imported wheat has gone up from
million bushels - 175 per 80 to 220 cent. ; and that the number of agricultural workers has decreased by 39 per cent. These facts represent a problem as worthy
<f careful consideration as it is difficult of
solution. From other points of view the
graphical representations of our social and
industrial progress are not by any means without hope. Of the members of all trade unions, 5 por cont, are now unemployed- rather more than in any year since 1895, whon disputes in the engineering and coal trade affected the result, and increased in 1893 the percentage of unemployed to 74. The total number employed seems now closo upon 15 millions, of whom 11,646,000 are over 20 youra
The principal
industries in their order of units employed aro agriculture, with the decrease indicat od; domestic service, with a large falling metals, off in numbers: transport; engineering, and shipbuilding, with an inervasa since 1851 of 180 per cart.; clothing: textiles, with a decrease of 99 par cent building, with an addition of 112 per cent and mining and quarrying, There with gain of 125 per cent. figures should be an incentive to increased vigilanca Paintaining the traile enumerated. As to wages, the building trade show increase since 1874 of

INTERNAL TAXATION OF FOREIGN IMPORTS.
During the period under review, soveral attempts have been made by the Provincial Authorities in the Two Kwang to impose new taxes on imports, and more especially on prepared opium. Thanks, however, to the energetic action of Consul-General Scott, whose representations were heartily seconded by your Committee, those efforts failed, and the proposed taxes worn with drawn. For the present the energies of the Mandarins in this direction have slackened; but & strict watch will be necessary to check the first attempt to impose now unauthorised taxes.

It is simply astonishing how enger the present generation of Chinese is to
learn English, and this is so, not only among the native Christians, but also among the Chinese generally. The chief reason undoubtedly is because they see in it a means of increased wealth, but many scek it also because they think they can reach the stores of Western knowledge and learning more easily than through their own cumbrous tongue, since the pith of many books is lost in the process of being translated into Chinese.

THERAPION
MARI
This successful and bighly popular remedy, as employed in the Continental Hospitals by Ricurd, Rowan, Jobert; Velpeau, and others, combines all the desiderata to be sought in a medicine of the kind and surpasses everything hitherto employed.
THERAPION No. 1
in a remarkably short me, often a few days only, removes all discharges from the urinary organs, supersoling injectious, the use of which does irre- parable harm by laying the foundation of stricture and other serious discäsos.
THERAPION No.2
for impurity of the blood, scurvyy pimples, spots, blotelies, pains and swelling of the joints, secon Jary symptoms, out,
rheumatism; and all diseases
for which it has been too much a fashion to e- play mercury, sarsaparilla, &c., to the destruction of sufferers' teeth and ruin of health. This pre- paration purifies the whole systein. through the blood, and thoroughly eliminates every poisonous matter from the body, gay
THERAPION No.3
for nervous exhaustion, impaired vitality, sleepless ness, and all the distressing consequences of early error, excess, residence in kot, unhealthy climates, &c. It possesses surprising power in restoring strength and vigout to the debilitated,
