a
As a matter of fact, their King has hardly drop of Portuguese blood in his veins; yet the curious thing is that, apart from height and figure, he looks a Portuguese. His smile is tho smile you may meet any day in his country from duck to peasant; his ways are the courtly, punctilious, yet proud ways that distinguish the Portuguese ar stocrat everywhere; and he is fond of his people, and shares their patriotism for Portugal.
In this respect Queen Amelia is like him, Although a French woman, born at Twickenham during the ex le of the Comte de Paris, her father, she, too, has gone the right way to get to the heart of the Portuguese people, by using her influence towards the reformation of their country in fields which are usually left to

THE KING'S HAND.
On all s'es there has been a revival of trade, and with it a similar movement in industry. Increa ed output, increased turnoyer, increased import of coal and raw material all point to a gigantic stride towards a better state of things; while the financial side of the question has so fat improved that the depreciated bankgutes for ridiculously small values have quite disap peared, and the credit of the country once more stands on a business-like footing,
This is in no small measure due to the King, who, besides taking a personal interest in the promotion of new industries, foregoes annually a fifth of his revenues, thereby setting free a sum of about £25,000 to be devoted to productive usea,
The weak spot in the whole picture is the Government. Individually the Portuguese statesmen may be excellent gentlemen; col. lectively they are bad friends to their country. f late years the Liberal party has come more into prominence than formerly, but the trend of affairs is almost always Conservative-that Consery.tism which is based on bribery and || corruption, and which sees in power a legitimate means of looting the people.

With the memory of the Boar war fresh in the minds of military men, with the exploits of the irregular mounted farmers of the Transvaal hut newly added to military records, the general expectation was (says the New York Tribune) that the Cossacks, famed since the days of wild Mazopps as terrible and relentless foes, resembling those that fought under Fotha and Croale, would add to their lustre. Of all fields of battle it was particularly appropriate that Asia should be theis chosen fighting ground, for, following Skobeleff and all the famous Russian leaders, the Cossack cavalry has car ried the Russian Empire from the Ural to the Pacific, as the ancient pioneers of America | His Majesty's Treasury Office, bore a more peaceful rule from the Allgħenies

SUCCESS IN BORDER WARFARE.
Military critics who study, the history of the Cossack find, however, that his exploits belong rather in the volumes devoted to border war fare against uncivilized foes than to the records of cavalry in civilized war, established by generals like Murat, Sibetin, and Forrest. From the beginning the Cossacks have seldom distinguished themselves against such foen as the Japanese have proved themselves. As early as Poltava, the fatal battle which ended the conquests of Charles XII. of Sweden and made Peter the Great master of the land of the Dot Cossacks, their battles in open-fold have been generally unsuccessful. Not even the famous Mazeppa could lead his Cossacks to victory here, and their independence was the price exacted by the conqueror. Not until Napoleon started on the dreadful retreat from Moscow, when his splendid army was reduced to a wreck, did the Cossacks distinguish them selves, and here their tactics shone in fearful brilliance. The charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava, however, found no parallel in
