The facts have been related already in our columns, and need but brief recapitulation.

The unfortunate youth was killed, and the driver arrested by the Chinese police, the authorities ex- plaining that "new instructions ** and been received regarding the treatment of foreigners. These in- structions, so far as we know, ac tually consist of nothing more than the Chinese Government's mandate declaring that extra-territoriality was abolished" as from January 1. The naval officer, therefore, was to be treated in exactly the same way as any Chinese under arrest. Fortunately, the British Consul was nouncement was made in Nanking alie to obtain an interview with by the Chinese Government that the Mayor of Hankow, and-what extra-territorial rights were abolish was equally fortunate that gentle

It is one of the most pleasurable tasks to enter into the spirit of the ideal of beauty of different nations, and establish how female beauty has been regarded at different times. centuries the histrioni and plastic arts have flourished in China, the mother to many arts and teacher to many nations. Nobody will mistake the slim and pliant lines of the body, the beauty of which the Chinese never tire of comparing with the willows whilst the wind plays,"

Everybody will admire the nobly formed hands, the fingers of which the Chinese poet describes as being as delicate as fibres. But on the other hand, and there at least he finds no approval with the Chinese of the older generation, he will rejoice at the beautifully formed feet which are naturally uncrippled in these models.
