YOCHOW

Yochow, with a population of 15,000 to 20,000, is situated in latitude 29°23′ N., and ongitude 113° 8' E. (Greenwich), at the outlet of the Tungting Lake. Past it ebbs and lows practically the whole of the trade of Hunan, which, however, adds nothing to he prosperity of the place, as it simply passes by after having paid its inward and utward taxes. The city is the gateway of the province and nothing more.

The province of Hunan has been to foreign commerce what Tibet is to the explorer- Forbidden Land-and its importance has loomed up to the mind with all the charm of the unknown. Its people, too, have had a reputation for savage ferocity beyond all ther Chinese. The people are certainly independent, and are anti-foreign with all he feeling caused by the undoubted valour of the myriads of soldiers they have upplied to the Empire during the last forty years, and by the dense ignorance created y their haughty seclusion; but a recent traveller in Hunan, a missionary of over hirty years experience, has returned deeply impressed with their manly and self- especting character, and other missionaries hold the same opinion. They are intensely atriotic, but their patriotism is rather for Hunan than for the Empire at large.

REMINGTON TYPEWRITERS stand the test of constant service.
