It is stated that the woring of satin in Fatauan is showing a great decline. Formerly there were quite a large number of satiu factories in that town, bat the imported article has ousted the native minde material almost out of the market. The same is tras regarding native leather. The papers are loully condemning this state of things, and saying that the people show a lack of patriotism in buying foreign-made goods. The fact is that the balk of the nativo mado articles are so inferior both as regarde quality and Buish to the imported goods that the formerdonot stand a chance. If the Chineso want their people to buy native-made gooils they should point out the obvious defeels to the manufacturors and got them remedied.

THE EARLIEST ROYAL BRITISH

DISPATCHES TO JAPAN,

On the occasion of the caroastion of in Mujosty King George V, ia this year 1911, it may not be uninteresting to recall the fact that it is just three hundred years since the first British oflotal dispatch to the Government of Jaren was penned. It is quite irne that it was Saris Lul his andlenco with Treysan at Shruga; only on September 8th, 1613, that Captain John

compilation. The Commissioners the compilation of materials for Japanese history would appear to have been more successful in their quest at all events, it duly appears in the volume of the Shirgo dealing with the 18th your of Keiche (1613). From the fan-rimile there given it is plain that it was from Cottonian. 318. Ju the British Mue am that it was unearthed.
