As he read, I thought how unreal was the argument for what the Spectator, in a criticism of Tolstoy's article, called the idealiam of warfare, the supposed con- 50iness of a great demanding self- Bacrifice. Instead, theso unfortunate men ask what the war is about, why they should 848 abandon their wives and children, why they should kill equally puzzled Japanese, why they should be injured or slain to preserve these lands they have never seen, know nothing about, and feel no interest in.' In fact, he added, they fought, not from any kind of belief, but because they were driven to do so; and when the fear of penalties for refusing to fight fell from the minda of the peoples, the whole institution of war- fare would fall. ⠀

The remarkable feats of memory per formed by Ditas appear excelled in the case of a youth who died at Margate 10 years ago.

An extract from the Times of 1804 relates that the youth, Mr T. P. Oldfield, died at Grotto House, Margate, in the sixteenth year of his age, and speaks of him as 'a youth of most extraordinary genius, and too generally known to suffer an idea of the following account of his life to dis- credited :-

At the age of five years and a half he had a scarlet fever, which brought on him

■ paralysis of the lower extremities, and debilitated his body for the rest of his life, but his mind presented the tinest display of human perfection.

'Whatever he road be instantly had by hoart; his favourite pursuits were the mathe- matics, philosophy, astronomy, geography, history, and painting, in all of which he made a great proficiency. His favourite authors were Locke and Newton and his retentive faculties were so strong that he never forgot a single incident with which he had been once acquainted.

'He could relate every circumstance of Grecian, Koman, and English history; was master of astronomy, and had pursued it up to all its recent discoveries; had the finest taste for drawing and painting, and would frequently take admirable likenesses of persons who struck him from memory. He wrote a hand like copper-plate; and at a very early period of his life had made himself master of arithmetic.

One has only to refer to Herbert Spencer the philoso- pher, or Richard Green the historian. Many observers and political economists have lately been anxious about the

The Japanese officers, throwing pruden. oe to the winds, rushed into the mêlée with their two-handed swords, the heritage of some Samurai ancestor. A sergeant-major with one blow almost decapitated a Russian lieutenant. His next blow cut down a second Russian, but à moment later he was transfixed by half-a-dozen bayonets, and when his body was recovered subsequently fourteen bayonet wounds were counted upon it.

The Russian plan of attack failed, no doubt owing to want of co-operation on the part of the infantry forces. One, presum ably, was to attack in front, while the other battalion, which did nothing at all, was to endeavour to gain the rear of the Japanese. The latter had eighteen killed and thirty wounded in the action, while the Russian losses amounted to fifty-six killed and forty-four wounded.

The inconvenient points in the commercial treaty of 1894 will be rovised after due negotiations with the Tibetants and then the three trade towns will be treated accordingly. When traders find any town on the route which may be developed for trade in future such town will be opened for trade after due ne gotiations have been made.

Lord Milner's Report on the

First Arrivals.

When the first batch of Chinese labourers recruited for the Transvaal mines arrived at Durban on June 18 it will be remem- bered that an outbreak of beri-beri was discovered among them. This fact, and the circumstance that the coolies were said to have been guarded like convicts during transinission from the vessel to the mines, gave rise to some sharp questioning in

It is early yet to make any definite pronouncement as to the success of the first experiment, but it is regarded highly satisfactory by the mine officials and mana gers. The men are apparently keen to become efficient miners, and show neither fear Dor dislike of working underground. They were familiar before arrival with the terms of the contract, &c., and there scems to be no doubt that they are very well able to look after their own interests.
