ENGLAND AND JAPAN AGAINST

U. s.
 It appears, then, that the treaty of offensive and defensive alliance with Japan contracted in 1905 confers no benefit upon Great Britain So far as she is concerned it is superAuous, It might however prove very grave injury to Great Britain If her people would permit 1t to be executed in the event of a conflict between Japan and the United States. We could not, of course make head against the com- bined naval forces of Japan and Great Britain in the Pacific, or for that mat ter in the Atlantic, and we might therefore be deprived of all our trans marine dependencies Such a loss would be trivial, however, compared with that to which the British people would be subjected by being cut off from their principal purveyor of food supplies, They would receive not an ounce of grain or flour from the Unit ed States and we should of course take measures to prevent them from receiv- ing such commodities from British North America. As for the relative ly limited contribution of such products from Argentina, that would be liable to interruption at hands of our cruisers and privateers. The result would be that within three months the inhabitants of Great Britain would be exposed to appalling suffering and their Government would be compelled to tear up the treaty with Japan and under a threat of using the British fleets against her compel the latter Power to give back all of our insular possessions,-New York Sun.

sufficient quantity of food so that the Chung Wah Kong Sor E Sang Fong may share the good things.
 When the sick Chinaman has reached that stage where he can eat no other food he is kept alive on fuejuke, or cream of rice, the most expensive food known to the Oriental It is imported from China and is so delicate that hardly one case in five reaches New York without being ruined by mould. It consists of rice beaten into a pulp, pressed and dried, then cut into slices and cooked with cream.
 When sick Chinaman has got so low that it is an assured fact he is soon to see the light of the other world, rites are conducted around his bedside by his cousins" and friends. In the wards of the hospital are two small altars, one to Joss and one to Confu- cius.
 Three times a day the Bi Boy Sot, or prayer for the safe journey of the de- parting one, is said before the altars, At the same time incense is burned on the altars while burning sticks of sweet smelling incense are placed between | the patients fingers and toes and even 1 in his nose and ears. Offerings are also taken up, to the main joss house at 16 Mott street, where more prayers are chanted and more incense burned.
 But the Bi Boy Sot and incense burn | ing suddenly cease when there is an ics b,,t fnNH hours from his end. Then he is bun | dled off to the Chinese death room at ii Pell street to pass away This is | because the Oriental fears the spirits of the dead and wants none of their evil influence about his hospital. When the end comes he is turned over to the semi-official undertaken of Chinatown and finds a temporary resting place in the Chinese enclosure in Evergreen cemetery.
 The bones of every Chinese find their ultimate and permanent repose in his family plot at his original home in China. Every five years the eeremo- ny of digging up the bones in the en-
 closure in Evergreen cemetery takes place.
 As the grave digger uncovers them
 the old keeper of the records of the
 joss house sits above him and ar
 ranges the bones as they are handed
 up to him. The records held by the
 old man show the history of every
 skeleton and each Is packed in a sep.
 arate zinc box and shipped across by
 way of San Francisco to China where
 it is inferred in the family plot with many ceremonies. Thus every Chi nese, no matter how long his residence in this country finds final rest
 among the bones of his ancestors 1T China.
 The old and feeble Chinese seldom
 appear so that they can be viewed by the curious eyes of the Chinatown I visitor. But go through Mott Pel ol Doyers street early any summe morning or even on a clear sunny win ter day and you will find ranged along
 sitting on the curbs, dozens of the olC men whose days are about spent. Fo an hour or more they breathe in th pure morning air, then like gophers : hurrow back to the mysterious home , of Chinatown, to appear no more unti
