CHINA LOSING GROUND.

European Nations Are Rapidly Absorbing
Her Territory.
Vast and populous as China is, the
experience of the present century
shows that she is weak for aggressive
purposes. She has not the hold on ter
ritory adjacent to her borders which
she could claim hundred years ago.
European nations are pressing on her,
both on the south and ON the north
She has been forced to cede a portion
of her territory to England, and she
has been compelled to avail herself of
the help of EngHshmen, both for civil
administration and for military com
mand.
ALI these things, says the Edinburgh
Review, show that an expansion of the
Chinese race does not necessarily in
volve an extension of Chinese domin-
ion. On the contrary, they tend to
prove that it is the order introduced by
European administration which leads
to the multiplication of these industri-
Gus people; and there is, therefore, at
least as much ground for saying that,
though Borneo, Sumatra and New
Guinea and the great islands of the
Eastern Archipelago may be ultimately
peopled by yellow races, they will be
governed by the white races; as for
believing that a new Chinese empire
is in process of formations; Chinese
India may, in other words, be devel-
oped in these great and fertile islands.

Songs That Were Sung When This Coun-
VVoa

Songs That Were Sung When This Coun-
try Was Young.
1t is very interesting to trace the
origin of some of the good old tunes
with which we are familiar. There
have been many controversies as to
their authorship.
.''Old Hundred" has been variously
ascribed to DIR. Martin Luther, DIR.
John Dowland and William Franck.
DR.. Lowell Mason wrote quite trea-
tise on the old tune, saying emphatic
ally that it was written by Guillaum
(William) :Franck (1543.) But later
musical historians say it was COM
posed by Louis Bourgeois, of France,
in 1851.
The old tune, @+God Save the King" :"
or America" SO universally sung to
my Country, 'Tis of Thee,'' was com
music teacher to Queen Elizabeth,
about 1000.
The tune of Yankee Doodle" has
had seven or eight treatises written
upon it in the last thirty years, ascrib-
ing it to various dates and origins,
even back to the Netherlands and the
days of Cromwell and the Charleses.
DR.. George Grove, of London, Eng,
musical libraries and the British muse
um in England, finding no trace of it
whatever.
But Yankee Doodle has an origin
and has a history. 1t was written by
DIR. Richard Schuchburgh (whose com
mission dates 1737), in the French and
Indian war of 1775 under Gen. Jeffrey
Amherst, and was intended as ''take
of" on the rag, tag and bobtai1'' re-
cruits of the colonies that came into
the army
The first words: Father and went
down to camp were in the Boston
Journal, 176S, and the first record of
the tune is in Arnold's 1.-TWO to One,''
1884; SO that Yankee Doodle" al
though written by British surgeon,
is really American.
The tune Star Spangled Banner
is an adaptation of ''Anacreon in
Heaven" composed by DIR. Samuel
Arnold, Q7s3-1sOa) of England, ITO
Hail Columbia or the PRESIDENTS
March, was by Prof. Phylas, of Phil
adelphia, 1889.
Portuguese Hymn or 'sAdeste
Fideles,' is ascribed by English mu-
sicians to John Reading, who died in
1T64. But Herbert p. Main, of New
York musical antiquarian, says the
tune cannot be found as in existence
previous to 179O. He says it was com
posed and written by Marcantonio
Simoe Q762-1S30). He wrote under the
assumed name of ''Portogallo.
