her. She excuses him. and makes it
easy for him to get on with himself.
And she has certain sterling qualities
that admirably supplement the love-
illness and attractiveness of the
wife. He feels this for q good while
without exactly seeing it or knowing
it. but when the great bereavement Of
his life comes, and the world Is sud-
denly desolate to him. he comes around
with the deceased wife's sister bill.
Look at the world as it is. Consider
the capacity Of the sister for making
herself Indispensable in the house. She
may not have had the power to attract
the man into matrimOny. but she has
the qualities that he finally recognizes
as necessary to perfect comfort in it;
and in England, when it is too late. he
wakes up to the fact that he should
have married the sister, But this is
not the end Of the inquiry. There is
something in the nature of woman
herself that brings about this state of
things. In order to bring out the best
there is in a woman. sacrifice of her
self Is always necessary. Fortunately
she enjoys this. She has a kind Of
pleasure in seeing her sister preferred
and led away to the altar. She likes
the man all the better for being such a
goose as TO choose the pretty and more
incompetent one. And in the new

THE most important point in the discus
sion between Russia and England, and
the one which more than any other has
caused the most embarrassment 10 the
British cabinet, is the annexation by
England of Quelpaert Island. for this is
what obtaining Port Hamilton as a coal
ing station really amounts to. Russia
insists that this step by England was a
hostile movement which the former could
not overlook, and that further discussion
Of other questions would be declined until
the occupation oil Port Hamilton was
abandoned.
DE Gier pointed out the fact that not
withstanding the late Sir Harry Parkes
~eogently urged the English foreign office
TO annex Port Hamilton in 1878, when a
Japanese expedition to Corea was immi-
nent, Lord Derby refused in very strong
language To take the step advocated then.

From the sixth report Of the Nippon
Railway company. we learn that the net
profits for the latter half of 1884 were
l43, 4Ji .B23 yen, and the interest on the
shares sold for the construction Of the
second line amounted to 03, 81 $50 yen.
The total OF these two sums or 207, OH,
iO3 yen, apportioned TO the shares sub
scribcd for the first and second lines,
amounting TO 3.97i,71G yen, gives a
pro { Of about 1913 per cent. This re-
port shows how greatly the goods traffic
upon the company's lines is subordin-
ated 10 the passenger traffic. The total
receipts on account of goods only
amount To 3s,ss3 yen, while those on
account Of passengers amount 10 nearly
four times that sum. 1t seems pretty
plain that, although the Japanese have
learned how to build railways, they
have still n good deal to learn as 10 the
means Of attracting goods traffic.
