Beware of Imitations.

Heaven, the people in Mongolia, Man churia, Tibet and Mohammedans would become dissatisfied, because their ancestora were not used to represent Heaven. A Mongolian member, taking advantage of this turn of argument, proposed that Genghis Khan should represent Heaven. Another member proposed that Confucius should represent Heaven. For fear that the feeling of the five races might be injured, the members of the Conference decided to drop the question, But the worship of Heaven was approved by all of them. Two persons were elected to draw a report to be submitted to the next meeting of the Examination Committed.

A CONDITIONAL SUBSIDY FOR JAPANESR STEAMERS.

Raw cution and iron imported into Japan from Ameries, and Hemp braids, porcelain and lacquer ware exported America from Japan, together with other cheap goods, remarks the Asahi, have hitherto been sent vid Suez, or forwarded by rail from points on the Pacific coast. When the Panama Canal is opened, the Jew sea route to New York, will be extensively used, as it will save much time as compared with the route via Suce, and also save freight in comparison with the railroad charges. For this reason, adds the Osaka journal, the Government has decided to grant a subsidy to a new service to be opened to New York vid the Panama Canal, if the subsidies now granted to the American services are reduced. A Bill for this purpose will be introduced to the Diet during the present session,
