THE LAND OF HORSES

The land of the kangaroo and the
wombat, where the mammal was
nothing unless marsupial, till the Eu-
ropean arrived on the scene. may now
be called the land of horses. In New
South Wales the sight of a beggar on
horseback ..~ites no surprise. The
poorest settler has a nag or two OF
hrs own, and his children may be seen
riding to school like little lords. A
one-horse township would be incon-
ceivable in a country where each viii
lage, almost, has its race meeting.
With a population scarcely over 1850
600, the colony owns more than 500-
600 horses. And she now exports
horses on a rapidly increas.ng scale.
In 1895 the colony exported / 1903 Tor
ses, of the estimated value of f12 745:
in 1896 the number was S,13S, value
E123,500 and last year there was a
further increase, India being the lead
ing customer, Australian horses being
found admirably adapted for military
purposes in that part of the British
empire. Horses are exported also
from New South Wales to Victoria,
New Zealand, Western Australia. Fiji,
the Straits Settlements, Java and the
Philippine Islands,-Household Words.

mons How England Stands.
LONDON, April 5.-The House of
Commons was crowded today with peo-
pie anxious 10 hear the statement of
Mr.. Balfour, acting Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs, on the subject OF
the situation in the Far East. Balfour
enumerated the concessions obtained
by Great Britain. namely, that the re-
gion Of the Yang-tse-Kiang should not
be alienated by any foreign power;
that the successor of Sir Robert Hart
as director of the Chinese imeprial
maritime customs is 10 be an English
man, and that to the inland waters is
to behad by ships of all nations.
4 fourth concession, Balfour conin-
ued, occurred only a day or two ago.
namely, the opening of three new
treaty ports, Funing. Yochau and Chin
Wang. This, according TO BaIfour, was
a considerable harvest for two months
negotiations.
Touching upon Wei-hai-vei, Balfour
said that Russia, having secured Port
Arthur, on the maritime approach TO
Peking; Great Britain had occupied
Wei-hai-wei TO balance matters.
"Wei-hai-wei is the only port on the
Gulf Of PeehiIi which might balance
the possession Of Port Arthur" said
Mr. Balfour. While Port Arthur is
stronger, the accommodation at Wei
hai-Bei is inestimably greater, and by
taking Wei-hai-wei under our protec-
ton We prevent the Gulf OF Pechili
from falling under the maritime con-
troll of one power and thus defend our
interests"

Hawaiian Short Stories.

A manner of publication of the Kilo-

finally been decided upon by that or
ganization. Several plans were pro-
posed, but it has been considered best
to give the six leading stories in a
volume This book, which will be the
first of its kind for the country, will
be from the press of Gazette Com
pany and will be a fine piece of printing
and bookbinding. It will be remember
ed that Mrs Dillingham's story 'iKa-
lani" was awarded first prize. Next
came Judge De la Vergne's, ''The White
Queen" Four others were named in
the order Of their excellence as es-
teemed by the committee. The six will
be published in the one volume. There
will be no other publication of the
