CHINESE MANNERS.
The N.-C, Daily News remarks oditorially:- Under the head of "Manuers and Customs" it was said of some savage tribe, "mannare they have none and their customs are beastly. Whether the Chinese rank as civilised, semi- sivilised, or semi-barbarons is largely a matter of definition, but in any case it cannot be said of them, "Mannora they have none," Those who know best might rather complain that they have too many.

That most of thess who come to learn English are actuated by personal motives must perhaps be concedel, But here, nevertheless, is the teacher's oppor- tunity; for as the children in the home lauds are taught to respond to the enthusiasm of Imperialism, so ray the claims of China be brought home to Chinose students while studying the condition and needs of their native land in the light of the history of our Empire.

The discoverer of the supposed diamond area is a well-known men in Derby; a civil engineer with expert knowledge of mining and prospecting.
Near the beginning of a wandering life, full of adventure, he worked for a considerable time in the mines at Kimberley as mining engineer to Mr. J. Wernher, now head of the firm of Mars. Wernber, Bait, and Co. While there he often discussed wi ha French rugineer the possibilities of diamonds being found in certain
titudes in Borner.
Many years followed of vague globe-trotting and the diligent prospecting for gold and diamonds in all parts of the world Eventually the turn of the wheel brought the young engineer to Borneo, where he sister Mr. Van der Hoven in surveying his tobacco estate. He had never forgotten his old talks with the Frch engineer and accordingly devoted much of his time in prospecting for diamonds.
One day he took a light canoe and paddled for many hours ap the Labak River, through forests of dense tropical vegetation. Cowing to a tiny pative villago, he left his canoe, and pushed inland towards some hills.

Mr. Calthorp, addressing the jury, emphasised the point that a steam launch should keep out of the way of anything not under steam.

I may say, in a general way, that a great point, in my opinion, is the fact that, owing to the magnificent discipline and goal behaviour of the troops, the Tibetan people, when wo left Lhase, were much better disposed towards than they were when we arrived in the sacred city. As to the results of the Mission, it will be renumbered that the removal of oostruation to trade with India was one of its principal objecte.

An important point to bear in mind is that the Tibetans are a nation of shopkeepers. While the Mission was in the country, Tibetan traders wore continually coming in to all our camps and posts to sell produce and goods. There seems to be every prospect of a thriving trade spring ing up between India and Tibet.

"It was a very difficult matter to get the Convention through in the few weeks which Military necessity placed at my disposal, and still more difficult to do this without causing bitterness of feeling among the Tibetans. am happy to say that we liave not left behind us at Lhasa any of that feeling of race animosity which might be

The Rockefellers are not likely to feel the loss of a few milions, but they would probably have preferred that somebody else besides Mr. Thomas W. Lawson should have made them.
