THE KORBAN'S FAMILY LINE.

Koreans think the world and all of their an- cestral soát, family line, genealogical table, stc. Pride of birth rides serenely over poverty and ignornace of every sort, as well as ever every other man's success. Greatness may be moth catem and old beyond the days of Genghis Khan, may be but the threadbare romains of as end of reve:se and grinding poverty, but the family seat is talked af, and introduced into conversation with all the pride and haughtiness of the first lord of the land.

"The reason why the Grat consecutive and Intimate account of Tolstoy's later years does not come to the world from Russia Itself is that there are aspects of the Count's life that may not be freely written about in his own country. Among non-Russians, Mr. Maude, who made Tolstoy's acquaintance pearly a quarter of a century ago, was the man bast goallded to tail the tale," which is published by Constable's.

THE JAPANESE TARIFE. The following is from the fapan Gaselle; General Viscount Sogn, a prominent member of the House of Peers, in a statement published by the Mainichi Demp polois out that during the last session of the Dict he was a member

of the Tariff Revision.Committee. Io deallog with the Bill in the Legislature, the Govers ment explained that the farsign Powers ware all satisfied with the revised tariff, and that in view of this the new rates could be enforced without any trouble. Thereupon the Com- mittes placed full, confidence in Count Ka. Vis- 'mura's stalemat, and approved it. count Saga is therefore rather surprised to bear that strong opposition has been aroused in Great Britain against the new tariff, in short, the Government has made a fool of the patio, and must therefore be held responsible for the blunder thus committed. The Government is, it is understood, now negotiating with Great Britain, with a view to arriving at au ámicable -settlement. In the event of the negotiations not being successful, the Karura Government should submit to the Diet a Bill for amending. the tariff, Viscount Soga thinks that this is the only alternative for the Government to adopt at this juncture. He is in no way op pos d to such a measu e os the part of the Government, but will attack the Gove:ement for its blunder if its explanations on the matter are unsatisfactory.
