It was, however, but shortly after the restora tion of the Imperial Family to power that the contract was first signed, and as Japan had then no surplus energy to devote to such matters as the construction of submarine cables, it was unavoidable that, though fully aware of its disadvant siges, she should have become party to that contract for a certain fixed period.

It goes, without saying, saya the Am, that this Telegraph Company, which monopolises the cable service between Shanghai and Nagasaki, forming, as it does, one of the main arteries of the world's system of communication, derives enormous profits therefrom, but the Osaka journal thinks it beyond all dispute that Japan has also largely benefited by its existence. The Isahi, therefore, in arging the discontinuance of the existing arrangement with the company, does not go so far as to suggest that Japan should deliberately deprive the company of its already acquired rights. But the close zelations of Japan with the continent of Asia brought about by the recent develop. ment of her nO

Several -opportunities have already presented themselves of effecting the revision of the contract, but the lack of wine decision on the part of the authorities and the little or no public attention paid to the matter have hitherto allowed the contract to re- tain its original form.

JEWB AND AGRICULTURE.

The Jewish Chronicle publishes parti- culars of the Jewish agricultural school proposed to be established in England. The ides underlying the scheme is to give Jews and Jewesses a practical training in agriculture such as would enable theas to settle on the land as farmers.

LONDON SOOT.

The Lancet is alert as over. It has been measuring the soot in London air, just as Ruskin once gathered and weighed the silt in an Alpine stream, to test the wear- ing power of water. The result of this sum in substraction shows that London gets a shower of soot to the extent of 431b. per acte every day.

NOAN'S ARK DINNER.

:

An amusing freak dinner was given in London fast month by the Irish Literary Club and Association at an hotel in Tot tenham Court-road. The guests, forty in number, were all dressed to represent animals-lions, tigers, birds, and dogs being among the number. The dining- room was designed to represent a stable, and the meal took place by candle light. The waiters were dressed as cats. prominent Irish residents in London were present, and the dinner and the dance which followed were very successful.

THE MANCHU DYNASTY,

ITS BISE AND DECAY. The name Chius retains for most of us the romantic flavour which it has possess ed for many centuries. To the ancients it represented the shadowy region whence came the silks and brocades which great ladies delighted in, as they do now, and whicace occasional specimens of porcelain, white or green or imitating various colour ed, hard stones, made their way across unknown deserts

So it remained until in the 13th-century an outburst of quite a unique kind occurred among the nomads of the great Asiatic desert, which finally led to the conquest of all the known world from the Sea of China to the Carpathians. The Russian Empire became tributary to the great Mongol Khan, who had his Imperial seat in China, Hungary was desolated, the Prussian nights were destroyed at Presburg, while Baghdad was laid in ashes, and an end was put to the Khalifs and their splendid rule.

The Manchus before their conquest of China occupied the southern part of that very fertile region and were really the civilized and cultured portion of a wide spread race which extended to the north of the River Amur and included the Russian province of Dauria east of Lake Baikal, and are known as Tungus.

It must be remembered that when they conquered China the Manchus were in no gense barbarians. Their country was very fertile, they had large and prosperous towns, fine roads, and a literature largely consisting of translations from standard Chinese books. especially Chinese Buddhist works. They were a vigorous, warlike race, well trained and armed, and their Royal family was also a gifted stook.

Frontier fights continually occurred, and

at length the Manchu raler Thai-tsu, a person of singular gifts and strength, determined to invade China, where the army was no match for his fine soldiers. This took place in 1819 and the following years, and ended in the conquest of the Empire and the substitution of a Manchu dynasty for that of the Ming.

The successors of the first conqueror were men of great force and ability, and notably two of them, who had long reigns which were as remarkable for the revived prowess of Chins in the field of arms as for its renewed virility in the fields of art, literature, and diplomacy, and the country was well governed and prosperous The two great men were known as Kanghi and Kienlang.

A ROYAL ROMANCE.

DOM MANUEL AND DOM MIGUEL

RECONCILED.

The Daily Chronicle of February 2 con- tains the following interesting account of the meeting of Dom Manuel and Dom Miguel, recently announced by Reuter:--

Dover, the seaport of many strange adventures, and the place of many secret one more chapter to its tale of romance. meetings of historical interest, has added No writer of fiction from Alexandre Dumas to Stanley Weyman has imagined an in- terview ulare romantic than that which was held on Tuesday last at the Lord Warden Hotel between Dom Manuel, the exiled King of Portugal, and Don Miguel, his hereditary rival, and Pretender to a head now wears. That crown which meeting, of which the detaile have only just leaked out, for it was arranged with the utmost secrecy, was for the purpose of ending a long foud which, since its beginning, far, back in the history of Portugal, has spilt the blood of many brave men.

situation. The interview, therefore, is of historical interest and importance. Dem Miguel has offered to help forward in every way in his power the restoration of his Majesty to his crown and dominions.

Meanwhile a great literary revival took place. The Emperor himself wrote poema, and one example of them may be seen cut on a series of tablets of jade at the British Museum. Most of the literature was, no doubt, translation, but it was translation on a great scale and very useful to the foreign scholar, who thus got a good guide to the ambiguities of Chinese texts in the much less ambiguous Manchu traás- lations.
