THE WEATHER,

The following reperti from Mr. F. G. Figg. Acting Director of the Hongkong Obser- Surely a tempting programme for the edifica- On the 28th at 11.50 am. The barometer has tion and intellectual entertainment of the Folk-risen quickly over E. Japan, fallen moderately Lore Society at the meeting in their rooms, 22 Albemarle-street. Chinese charms, be it under-

stood, were not those of the feminine people of the Celestial Empire, but were tokens, some of a monetary character, intended to insure good

Fuck in the owner or wearer.

Discoursing on these, Mr. A. R. Wright showen Kindergarten book, with ninety-two blocks, used for teaching not only history, but morality-Chinese history, and morality-and mythological stories One of these, The Dragon 11.pe of Confucius, was illustrated by a rudely drawn, but most portentous red horse, declared to be four thousand years old-and he looked it. From the river, said the story, rese dragon horse, and on his back was a scroll containing mystic lines, and from these were made the first alphabet, which took the place of the knotted cord used previously.

A very old book of fair women, nearly all empresses, jelted how the daughter of a "wealthy family, made up for a rather plain force by remarkable intelligence. She invited a fam us philosopher to mary her, but he refused, because be thought family pride would lead to domestic disagreement. She declared she would matry him, and she did. After that event she never pres nted to her husband the rice bowl without raising it to her eyebrows as a token of affectionate respect. This, added Mr Wright, was 2,000 years ago. -

Chinese children in the days of the old civilization were happy in a Jack and Jill story not far removed from our own. Charms were not only for luck, but were, when properly worn, a sure portection against the Evil Onc.

African folk-lore from the region of Delagoa Bay and the North-Eastern Transvaal, though not on that card, was introduced by M. Jauned. The £1 coin in the far off days was even as a Amall battle-club of copper with a percentage of gold. How came they to know the smelling of copper? Possibly from the early Portuguese; but more likely from the Phenicians or the Arabians. Now the British sovereign, the French antiquary explained, had superseded the native currency. Strange marriage sites, sorceries, charms, and divinations by the use of bones and shells were curious.

Folk-In efiom the Azores resuscitated stories which had travelled from the languages of the Orient into that of the Portuguese. Mr. M. Longworth Dames related several of them, one showing that a great land in mid-ocean was swallowed up because of the pride of he king, leaving only the sprek of the eriting is'and,

Of many stories collected by Mrs. Seeman a specimen was that of a gentleman calling at a farmbruse near Fayal, and asking for butter. The farmer replied that he would like to know if the tide was right. He would shut up his

black cat and would know by her eyes if the tide was right, and then he would churn the

butter,

Notes on Ballai Origins, by Mr. Andrew Lang, were, in his absence, reed by Miss Gom- mo: Some wilters held that ballads were degraded versions of medieval romances. Ad- mitting some were of this origin, many more were the work of primitive rhymers. Poetry was found even amongst the Australian blacks. Among savages the cople them.selves were their own ballad makers; the productions were composite and popular, not literary or professional. Many forms of Polynesian poetry existed which were the works of individuals, and there authorship began. The name "ballad" was applied to the casket song attri buted to Mary Stuart, Medieval literary romances had often borrowed the idea from popular tales and ballads, while ballads, again, had often borrowed from romance. The return of old true loves were quite common to both. -Daily New

No consumptive, or sufferer from any other wasting disease, was ever greatly bene fited by the so called "plain cod liver oil The shock it gives to the nerves, the repulsion and disgust. it excites in the stomach, the outrages it commits upon the senses of smell and taste, are enough to spoil any medicinal potency that may be in it for the majority of people.
