A

At Marylebone Police Court on the 21st ult. before Mr. Plowden, Yen Sun Zidr, 28, Atudent, Chinese subject, of Cromwell-road, South Kensington, was charged with assaulting Wen Haion Chien, at the Chinese Legation, 49, Portland- place, W.

Mr. Freke Palmer, solicitor, who pro- secuted on behalf of the Chinese Legation, mentioned that, besides assaulting the prosecutor, the prisoner also threatened to shoot him. The Chinese Minister, it appeared, was in possession of certain confidential documents, and for some days past the prisoner had been endeavouring to see him in regard to them. The pri soner, Mr. Freke Palmer added, was a dangerous person; he was a man with a grievance, and went about with a loaded revolver.

The prosecutur said that he was the superintentent of Chinese students at the Legation at Portland-place. The prisoner was a law student. On Tuesday at about 10 minutes past 6 the witness was at the Legation and was coming up some steps when the prisoner caught hold of his hand and said, Will you guide me to see the Minister 7' The witnes: told him to speak to the porter. Still retaining hia hold of him the prisoner said, "If you don't guide me to see the Minister I will shoot you." He had the revolver pro- dured (a magazine Mauser loaded with five bullets) in his right hand, and he The witness pointed it towards him. heard a click. The porter came up and caught hold of the revolver.

Replying to the prisoner the witness said that his official office was at 177, Priory-road, West Hampstead, but when he had any official business to transact he went to the Legation. The witness through an interpreter said he was a member of the Legation, but the inter- preter said that he was not,

Henry Alexander Barber, the hall porter, said that the prisoner had called at the Legation four times, and on three occasions he saw him. The prisoner wanted to speak to the Minister, but on cach, occasion the Minister refused to we him. The last time was on Tueady ju after G in the evening.

The Malay Peninsula. A record of British Progress in the Middle East, by AuNULD WHIGHT AND THOMAB H. REID, with a London: map and 5 illustrations. T. Fisher Unwin.

If only as a story of Empire-building under difficulties, this book deserves the careful study of all Englishson who appreciate the value of individual offort in that arduous and often ungrateful work. Throughout the vicissitades which so often and so dramatically changed the whole international position in the Malay Ponin- sula the authors show very clearly how much was done by private enterprise, and by initiative 8 compared with personal officialdom in all its manifestations, both at In the very old times home and abroad. when the Peninsula was emerging very slowly from that chaotic and mysterious condition about which little or nothing has yet oen found out, it is conjectured rather than supposed that there was a certain trado in spices from it to India and thence to Europe. But it is not till the eleventh century that we begin to feel at ali sure about dates, It will be news to many, even of those who are well acquainted with Singapore, to bear that it was founded as a trading port as oarly as in 1180, although rather less than fifty years after it was attacked and taken by a Japanese prince "whose jealousy had heon excited by the extraordinary prosperity Such of the inlmbitants as of the port." then escaped were strong and clever enough to make a fresh start in Malncen, which in A few generations, and for a long time afterwards, became renowned as a mart for the distributing products gathered in the But in 1511, Indian and Chinose sens." after Vasco da Gama had shown the way round the Cape, the famous expedition of Albuquerque attacked and captured it.

Portugal as well as Spain had regarded their title, under the papal authority, to the rich countries of the Empire as secure, until at Inst the rival European Powers could throw off the reproach of unwarrantable aggression and piracy, and compete freely and openly for the prohibited trade. But a fresh supply of energy and activity was then given to the Protestant nations, and especially to the English and Dutch; and a very short time Although the rise in the bank rate has saw Captain.

“Stop taking Drugs and Stimulants ! It's

SANATOGEN

You want for your Nerves."

Such is the modern physician's advice to victims of nervous disorders.

"1

Dr.

In his book on "Nerve Energy,' Claude L. Wheeler says: "Many people have, through ignorance of the consequences, become victims of a habit of taking drugs and stimulants. To such people Sanatogen offers a form of force that may be drawn upon without danger. Sanatoren, in a perfectly normal way, creates ne tissue and--nerve cells. It builds up, reco. ucts and renders stable."

Similar statements have been made by over 16,000 practising physicians, who certify to the unique value of Sanalogen in overcoming such nervous symptoms as:

Insomnia

Palpitation of the Heart Depression of Spirits Morbid Anxiety Irritability of Temper Easily-induced Physical and Mental Fatigue. Nervons Dyspepsia

It was

Among the many famous people who have publicly testified to the value of Sanatogen is the Right Hon. Sir John Gorst, Privy Councillor to the King of England, who writes" Sir John Gorst wishes to say he has long been acquainted with the great merits of Sanatogen- has taken it with excellent results, and when necessary will certainly take it again. also used by a daughter of his with great benefit.” If you, who read this, are ran down or suffer- ing from any of the symptoms mentioned, do not seek the false aid of drugs and stimulants, but begin at once to rebuild and revitalise your uery- ous system by means of a course of Sanatogen. It is sold by all Chemists.

Write to-day for a Free Copy of "The Art. of Living," by Dr. Andrew Wilson. This ia- teresting book tells you all about Sapatogen, and also contains a great deal of valuable advice on health topics. Write at once, mentioning this paper, to the manufacturers of Sanatogen, Messrs. A. Wuling & Co., 6, Kiukiang Road, Shanghai.

Dr. C. W. Saleeby, the

well-known

physician,

writes:-

Sanatogen is a true tonic because it is an essential nerve food: it actually helps to re-create the perve machine. Here we are not dealing with a drug-here is a special nerve food which is very rapidly and completely ab sorbed, and which has actual relations to the nervous system and its needs."

Dr. Andrew Wilson, the famous medical author, writes" In all run-down" condi. tions, Sanatogen will restore vigour in a thoroughly natural fashion, without dan ger of subsequent depression. Its advant ages over the ordinary tonics are that it builds up and recuperates whilst it braces the great nerve-centres; it does not upset the system; and it alters the morbid craving for stimulants."

Mr. A. G. Hales, the famous war corre spondent, writes : --- Sanatogén revitalises

a man and is not a drug, I find that my health benefits by every tin that I take,"

Mr. Arnold Bennett, the distinguished writer, states "The tonic effect of Sanat- ogen on me is simply wonderful.".

The Story of Harvey Sinclair: By GEORGE

TISHAWNŁK

London: T. Wornor Laurio.

A rich, fashionable, well-educated young man, the descendant of generations of bankers, is "discovered" sitting at the table of a café in Soho. Regarded in cold blood, Harvey Sinclair has been a failure. He did not like banking, though he accepted candidature for a parliamentary constitu- ency, he had no leaning to politics; he had travelled extensively and spoke all of the loading continental languages and some of the obscure ones; he lived expensively, as if money dropped, like manna, from heaven; | he had danced and flirted, for being hand. some and attractive in personality he was naturally adored by the fair sex-yot, tested by any of the recognised standards which a rank failure. rule human life, he was Then, to cap alt, he developes aneurism-of- the heart, and his illness is misinterpreted by his father, who disowns him and drives him from the house. Wo have met all sorts of heroes in our time; bit never before a hero with an aneurism. Geargo Trelawney, the author, is the author of that plausible and absorbing book In a Cattage Hos pital," and is, apparently, possessed of some knowledge of what Dan Leno would havo described as "the work" of the human body; and that is perhaps the reason why ho has chosen to present is with a new typó of hero. Whether anyone so nilisted a Harvey Sinclair could have gone through what he did and finished off by marrying a devoted girl, to whom the reader is barely introduced, we leave it for the reader to There is nothing gruesome in the judge. story, but it is not altogether a pleasant one. Harvey has a pretty rough time of it, till he falls into the hands of a hospital staff, and is discharged cured after, & marvellous operation.

Oscar Wilde Some Reminiscences. By KJELD, Norwegian str., 891, T. Hallero,

LEONARD CAENSWELL INGLETY. Illustrated. London: T. Werner Laurie, There is growing up around the pathetic figure of Oscar Wilde quite a substantial literature. Wilde was a wayward genius, who came into notoriety as a poseur, though Mr. Ingleby is not willing to admit the application of this word to him. He was undoubtedly a genius, with peculiar artistic, literary and esthetic gifts, but ho wes a posour nevertheless, and we are not prepared to accept the statement that he was one of

the greatest goniuses of our time. Time is probably the best test of his genius. If there be in his collected works the qualities that alone entitle a man to take the highest the shame which overwhehaed--the latter rank, then his works will live and outweigh No one could have days of his career. written with finer instinet or in better taste than Mr. Ingleby of the personality of Wilde, and while it is easy to mark his bias on the side of the great methote he does not overlook altogether those traits in Wilde's character which are in any way reprehensible. This little book is a perfect gem of com. position-It contains anecdotes of Wilde'a relatives and intimates that are quite new to us, and these enhance the interest of the narrative.
