For the luxury of the Londoner takes the form of an insatiable craving for comfort at any price, which generally means expense of everything else. The result is that its in the metropolis to-day is reduced to one long series of saving of trouble and piling up of all those many conveniences which are supposed to contribute to feminine well-being.

long gago the chairman of the P. and 0. Steam Navigation Company, addressing his shareholders, said that Briush shipping trade to the Far East and the Yangteze was being bonuses paid by the Japanese Government to Japanese steamship lines. Those bonuses are doubtless included in the allocation of money derived from British loans

Japan's present attitude in Manoharia has clearly demonstrated her intention of provent- ing railway development in that province, and farther, we are in a position to state that Japan has notified China that she will not permit any development of Mongolia by means of railways connected with the Chinose Northern Hailway system. In other words, in order to protect the South Man- churian Railway, territory many thousands of square miles in extent is to be deberred, say railway construction.

For nowadays everything that does not come directly under the handing of luxury is conated as hardship by the average London woman, who knows no happy madium, sad who will have nothing to do with discomfort in any shape or foran. The mere idea of having to walk a milo, as her country cousin does without any possible means of locomotion to her destination, is a nuisance which she cannot bring herself to contemplate.
