THE notorious fact that St. Petersburg is one of the most unhealthy cities in Europe-its annual death rate being over fifty-ons per thousand of the population, or nearly two and a half times greater than that of London-seems to be suffi- ciently accounted for by the quality of the water suppiled to the inhabitants.

A bad start was made, Jenner retiring for a cipher, "leg before" to D'Aeth; atti Col. Ser geant Gebs and Gunner Egan were also sent back without troubling the scorer. When Drum-"" mer,White; the "crack” batsman of "The Grand Old Bluffs," became associated with the Army Hospital man, matters became rather, lively for the fielders, both batsmen playing good cricket, and making the stand of the innings.

France more than any power in Europe requires allies. She cannot move against England without at once seeing her commerce swept from the seas. Her ironclad fleet might dispute the narrow seas for a while, but only for a while; and if she were embarked in a great naval war in which her coast defences would require to be strongly garrisoned, her condition would offer a strong incen- tive to Germany to complete the work 18707 But although the French are perfectly aware of the immense danger of a war with England, their Government has lost no opportunity oltrying the patience of the English Cabinet. In Newfoundland, asin the English Channel, claims have been set up, which, in the olden days, would have provoked a conflict. Then, the conduct of: French officers in Tunis towards British subjects was followed by the conduct of Admiral Pizzaz at Madagascar, and by a quarrel with China, pursued in the haughtiest and most

reckless spirit, and with a fatal disregard of the way in which French action might imperil the interests of other European nations, especially the interests of England. England possesses incomparably the largest commercial interest in China, Cochin China, and Japan, and would, in spite of herself, have to defend and protect those interests.
