Clifton-Brown, Burnie and Woodgates all hit well and forced the pace. Krickenbeek hit harder that the rest and ended up with a not- out 84 to his oredit. He, however, bore a decidedly charmed existence, for he was thrice palpably missed, once at the beginning of his innings off an easy chance and twice towards the close off difficult chances.

It was a critical moment, but he kept his head, made a good 19, and had the satisfaction of doing most useful service. As above statedį.

A NEW MAGAZINE.
The first number of the new Monthly Review, published by Mr. John Murray, is a stout look- ing volume of about 200 pages, clad in a sober and a cameo head. Within the paper and type blue paper cover with embossed black lettering
are of excellent quality, the latter of convenient size. The list of contents is strong, and if the early promise is maintained the new-comer should make as rapid a success as is compatible with the price at which it is sold-half-a-crown. Looking down the contents we see first three editorial articles. "The Paradox of Imperia liam” (mainly a discussion on the relation be tween Liberalism and Imperialism), Pekin" (to which we shall refer present “Parties and Principles."

Mr. Couperus, late of the Botanic Garden, Java, writes to the Straits Times on the use of dried coffee-leaves, and says; "There is a good chance that even] Europeans will find it a re- freshing beverage if 'coffee-tes' is well prepar ed. In Germany and Holland, the lower classes. all drink a beverage which they call coffee. That is, however, but a name, as a minimum quantity of ground coffee is mixed with ground chicory-root, and the result is a nasty tasting beverage. I am opinion that even among these classes coffee-tea would become popular, it being without doubt « much better tasting beverage than the one above mentioned.” Hə thinks that heaps of cof
now thrown | away in pruning, and topping the trees would bring a great profit to cures.”
