SCOTSMEN GET A WHIFF OF THE HILLS.”

No wonder that the Scots in Hongkong were prancing around the city to-day with a lilt on their lips and a swagger in their gult. A whiff of the misty Grampians and a breath of the heathery dales had come to them like a mes- sige from home. It was all the result of a not given to many to tell the colours of the Scottish clans, but on the off chance that it is a right guess, the kilts worn by the boys were

THE WEALTH OF JAPAN,

Some interesting remarks were made by Count Okuma at the dinner given in his honour at the Bankre's Club on the 28th ult. The subject which Count Okuma set himself to discuss was the cause of the financial pros perity of the country. The nation, he pointed out, had borne a Bürden of Y 1,300,000,000 and were willing to hear more; the last three issues of the domestic loan had been a splendid success, and the war loan issued abroad had

been covered more than ten times over. Count Okuma estimates the wealth of Japan al between twelve and sixteen billius and the annual preduce at between 1,300 and 1,800 millin, yenly. Of this later 1,500 walḥ con- sumed yearly, so that the surplus wealth ac

The judgments of the Chief Justice and the Puiste, Judge were exceedingly lengthy and occupied the attention of the Court for several hours. Particulars of the cost form ancient h story so that it is unnecessary to give any very detailed report of the finding of their Lordships.

The Chief Justice, who, in giving judgment prefaced biobservations by sinting that as the case was of some importance they had placed their remarks in writing, said that it was an appeal from the decision of the Land Court dealing with a claim to the absolute owner- ship of a portion of the foreshore at Changsha, wan, formerly within the territories of the Emperor of China. Since the date of the Kowloon Extension Agreement the land had formed part of the Colony of Hongkong and officially known as the New Territories. The foreshore claimed extends for a length of about two miles along what is known as part of the northern shore of Hongking harboer

The accounts and report for the year were adople

Lieut. M. S. Norticole, hun. secretary, stated that there was a balance of $364 odd at the credit of the Association at the end of the year, but several payments had since been made which had reduced that balance.

A member asked-Will the winding-up affect interport matches between Hongkong, Shang. hai and Singapore?....

The Chairman replied that members of the interport match team were not necessarily members of the Rifle Association. Anybody might be selected as a member of the team.

Lieut. Northcote said it would test with the Volunteer Reserve Association to take up such matters. As far as he knew there were in the Colony at present three nfle clubs, possibly

four-the Army Association, the Volunteer

exerverssociation, the Volunteer Rifle Club and there might be a navy rifle club.

It was thereafter unanimously greed to wind up the Association.

With regard to the balance it was agreed that a trophy should be purchased and handed over to the Volunteer Rifle Club.

services in a special house at a short distance from the business quarter of the town; hence the street was called "Synagogue street" and is still known as such, although the Synagogue has long ago ceased to be there. About the year 1877 the community purchased a piece of fand in Waterloo Street where they built a Synagogue which in now known as "Maghain | Aboth." I was consecrated on the 4th April, 1878, and it is believed that steps will soon be taken to build it on a grander scale. The following are the trustees of the Synagogue, viz-Mesus. M. Meyer, Raphael Sassoon, S. Nathan and E. A. Solomon. At preacht it is well supported by the community and during the High Holidays it is very largely attended by both the Sephardic and Asekanazi Jews and at times there is hardly sufficient room to ace commodate all. For reasons not necessary to

mention here, Mr. Mannsseh Meyer, one of the recognised heads of the community and a very orthodox Jew, has last year built at his own expense a Synagogue with cost about $100,000. It is situated on a nice position (Oxley Rise) and is about a couple of minutes walk from his residence. It is a fine, building and can accomms date about joo persons and we understand that it will be consecrated during the ensuing Passover Holidays and is to be named "Chaised-El."

PUBLIC SPIRIT.

Another praiseworthy and public spirited action of Mr. Meyer is worthy of note here, now that a short history of the develop. ment of the Jewish people of Singapore is being chronicled. Some two years ago Mr. Meyer, sesing that there is a dearth of Jewish writers on Jewish Law and recognising the need of having authoritative opinions on reli- gious matters of everyday occurrences publish- ad, at once volunteered to defray the cost of publishing the second volume of

The Egyptians or Assyrians have claimed the bagpipes, and the Red Indians have pat in a word for the cockade, so why shouldn't the Chinese be the original designers of the kitt?

It is somewhat difficult to follow Coun? Okuma's figures. Thus, without knowing the busis on which he estimates the wealth of Japan, it is imposible to criticise his conclusion that it is between twelve and six- teen billion of yen.
