Iish Inspector Says.

'Tt is obviously impossible" says Sir
Robert Bredon, acting inspector gen
eral OF Chinese customs, who is now
in England, for the world at large to
treat as a negligible quantity. either
politically or industrially, a homgene-
Gus race OF 40O,OOO,OOO human beings,
a large percentage OF whom. are now
fully nlive to the potentialities of their
race and country.
LAS an instance Of the changes in
Pekin alone, Sir Robert says that 1.-THE
old, unpaved, mephitic thoroughfares
are giving way to spacious macad-
amized roads, lighted by electricity in
place Of the old fashioned oil lamps.
An adequate and pure water supply
on European lines has replaced the old
surface wells"
Perhaps the most amazing progress
in Chinese internal administration is
that recorded in connection with the
postal service. In Illustration Of this
Sir Robert says:
Foot and horse couriers now pene-
trate into extreme western China 1900
miles and we have postal lines flung as
far as Tibet. There is also a money
order system all over China, an ex-
press delivery service in every big city.
There are 1900 native postoff1ces, en-
ploying 1900 persons. Of whom not
more than 200 are foreigners.
Again" says Sir Robert, 'the sedan
chair IS being superseded among the
wealthy Chinese by the use Of brough-
ans drawn by splendid horses Of
Australian breed. The police force of
Pekin is now organized on American
lines and effectively controls traffic IN
the streets.
CAS- regards the educational move
ment," he reports, cit is significant
that many high officials are maintain
ing schools at their own expense.
There is, for instance, the case OF the
wife of a Mongol prince, who has at
least fifty Chinese girls in a private
school, WEIGH she maintains"

Tho Antiquity of the Ballet.

Strictly defined, the ballet is proper
" q theatrical exhibition Of the art OF
dancing in it's highest perfection, COM
plying generally with the rules of the
drama as to its composition and form.
1t was in existence in Italy as far back
as A. D. 1900. the court of Turin in
that day making especial use Of it and
the royal family and mobiles taking
part in it. The ballet was first intro
duced in France in the reign of Louis
XIII, and both that monarch and
Louis XIV. occasionally took part in
its dances. About the year 100 wom-
en- made their first appearance in the
ballet, which up to that time had been
performed exclusively by men. as was
the case also with plays and operas,
but no woman ballet dancer of any
note appeared until 1870.

KAIsER's PHRASE ORDINARY
"Great and Good Friend" Not Ex-
prsssiVe of Anything.

prsssiVe of Anything.
Great and. good friend" the phrase
used by the kaiser in addressing the
Ntcaraguan president, seems to have
created a tempest in a teapot in Ger
many, where it gave fiery editorial
writer's an opportunity to talk bellig-
erently about England.
It IS admitted that the familiar
phrase was not the product Of the
Kaiser's own pen, but that it was used
as a mere conventional expression by
an official In the foreign office; whose
duty It IS to write nice letters to presi-
dents and princes upon their promo.
ton.
Queen Victoria was more sparing In
her use of the address intimate In
writing TO President Buchanan fifty
years ago thanking him for the at
tentions shown to her son the Prince
of Wales she merely addressed the
president as MY good friend" sign
ing her letter, Always your good
friend"
When Louis Napoleon was elected
president Of the French republic she
addressed him as MY good friend"
Being a sovereign herself, when Ma
poleon became emperor she addressed
him as Mon frere."
