The present tariff will be treated as the minimum and will apply to countries accord- ing to Russian products the "most favored pation treatment"; the new maximum tariff will be applied to countries that do not. It is left to the Minister of Finance, la conjunction with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, to decide when and to what countries the maximum shall be applied.

I clip this pathetis sentence from an account of the St. Etienne coal mine disaster which occurred in FOR SWATOW, AMOY AND FOOCHOW. France, in December, 1851. The fire had been mouldering for years in a remote part of the mine,THE Company's Steamship but its further advance had bem stopped by barriers. Yet they proved insufficient at last, and the terrible re-damp exploded, scattering death throughout the mine. Such incidents are too well-known in England to need farther explanation or comment.

An Ideal food contalus five elements: altro coolds to supply the muscks, brale and nerves, ilme and other mineral elements for the bones and teeth, hydrocarbons, such as starch and sugar, to supply heat and power, oll for various purposes and water forall Borts of uses, In milk and eggs, Nature shows us two formalas after which the fine constituents may be advantageously combined. Bread and meat in the West, and rice and fish in the East, are fair' examples of a proper combination.

The Chinese vegetarian seems never to lose sight of these principles. He divides rice fato Two classes; one poor in gluten and one rich in gloten; and, realising vaguely the value of the last-named compeand, is will log to pay forty per cent more for the second than for the first class. In addition to tl ils; he grinds the rice to flour and reparates the si arch from the gluten. The latter is rolled into th reads and cakes, est into lengths dried or des- sitated.

ious elements, it increases their nutritive valua gel twoand three times over. Cooked with vermicelli, peas, mushrooms, and bamboo-tips, with a sauce similar to a salad dressing, it makes a dish unsor- passed in other delicacy or wholesomeness. Nor is rice the only substance from which the Heathen Chinese extracts gluten for all mentary purposes. Willet, wheat," buckwheat beant, peas, potatoes and even res-nots, sea-kale and Bea-weed are, thas used.
