When volunteers were called for to undertake this perilous work young Li presented himself, to the great surprise of bis friends. The special ground of the surprise was the fact that he was a serious invalid, suffering from tuberculosis, from which disease he has quite recently died. He urged that his life was worth but little, and he was glad to risk it for the help that might be brenght to the beleaguered foreigners and native Christians His message from Sir Robert Hart was delivered in Tientsin just after the capture of the city by the Allie.

BRITISH TRADE.

The export trade of the United Kingdom for last year may on the whole be considered to be of a satisfactory character. As compared with the preceding year it exhibits an increase of £9,517,604, but, on the other hand, it makes a particularly poor show against 1900. The exports of British and Irish produs and manufactures for the three years are as follows:" 1900, £291,191,996; 1901, 2286,022,176; 1902. £283,539,980. It will be soon that the total. trade for 1901 was £11,109,620 behind that for

1900. By increasing on the figures for 1901 during last year some of the leeway has been made up, but there is still £7,652,016 to the bad. The yarn and textile fabric trades were responsible for smaller values than in 1901, but improved on thous of 190); while metals,
