A Young Queens Hobby.

Young Queen Wilhelmina's joy knew
no bounds not long ago when the kai-
ser appointed her colonel of the Fiji
teenth Prussian hussars. though IL il
not her first command. To be honorary
colonel of a regiment OF soldiers is one
OF the great ambitions OF royal prin-
cesses- The lady colonies only number
about IL. and these appointments are
confined to Germany and Russia.

world who enjoy the rank of admiral

extremely fond OF his young relative
and. knowing her passion for the sea,
gave her ships instead OF troops.

THE JEWS OF CHINA
Evidences of n Semetic Settlement in
the HOnan Province.
(From the Jewish world)

The Chinese Jews-Jews native Of China
have been rediscovered. The finder hap
pens to be Jew. Herr J. ]. Liebermann.
an officer in the German army of occupa-
ton in Kiao-Chou Rediscovered is a cor
rect term. for from Marco Polo to the
present time Chinese books of travel have
made constant reference to the "stickers
of the snews" to the white and the black
Jews of China. Herr Liebermann writes
OF dwindling community that has been
settled for two thousand years at Kaif-
engnu, capital of the Province of Honan.
on the Yellow River. He noticed in that
city people of a Semitic cast of counten
ance, and these he was informed were the
"Tian-Kin- Tchians." the tearers of the
sinew. On the door of the Chinese shingle
he read in Hebrew the word Jekemiah,
which he translates place where God as
sembles his people" There is, however
no evidence that these people belong to
the lost ten tribes" Such speculation de-
pends upon their ignorance of the Ninth OF
Alb but the high priest informed the Ger
man Jewish officers that his people came
nv way of Persia, Khorassan, and Samar-
cand to China three years after the de-
struction of the Temple in Salem"
There is, however. abundant reason fer
thorough and searching enquiry INTO the
history and AFFAIRS OF THIS plStalled Je"ry
on the Yellow River. Herr Liebermann
was shown the runs of temple which.
frcm its description. corresponds scme-
what with that which once crowned the
heights of Zion. He was. indeed, shown
the foundation stone, with its inscription.
and its stone picture of the temple. Such
an outline must be rare. But the insCrip-
ton, which seems TO be in Chinese. core
spends with tradition. go far that it states
that the Jews arrived from the West In the
Han Dynasty, and that the Emperor Mingi
made them welcome. According to CHI
nese historians, the Han Dynasty tlouTished
about IS C. e. On the other hand. Herr
Liebermann says that, through Ii Hung
Chang, he learned TIT under the Tang
