■ Chief interest at tlie second annual show of tlie Pekin Palace Dog Association, held at the. Royal Botanic Gardens, London, was centred in Mrs. Ashton Cross's champion, Chu-erh, of Alderbourne, the winner of fourteen championships under ton .different judges," and also of moreithan'2oo first prizes. This dog carried off all , the honours again, including Mr. Pierpont Morgan's 100-guinca challenge. cup. Mrs.-- Ashton Cross stated that she had ■ refused £5000 for Chu-erh, and had even had a blank, cheque offered her, in vain. As this wee Ichampion only weighs about eight pounds, its worth to its owner, judged by the sum refused for it, works out at nearly £40 an ounce. ■

Sir Alexander Hosie, Commercial Attache at Peking, reports that progress is beiftg made in ending the opium evil in China, that a stigma has been placed on tho habit, that ■smokers aro voluntarily breaking themselyes of it, but that some so-called remedies are worse than the disease. Many of the antiopium medicines contain opium or morphia! and the smokers are in many cases becoming opium or morphia eators, and developing a craving which is still,more difficult to eradicate..

Magiia Cliarta Island, in the River Tliamcs, near Windsor, has justibeen sold. The purchaser intends, to use the island as a private residence. There is a picturesque '■ white stone dwelling-house upon it, but most interest attaches to a small Gothic cottage on the- island.. It marks the spot wlie/b, tradition says. King John signed the Great Charter in i 245, nearly 700 years ago. Inside the cottage is a, stono upon which, so the legend runs, the King placed the Charter in order ta attach his signature. Ruimyniede, on which the barons assembled awaiting the King's signature, is a. short distance below the island on the Surrey side. On the stono in the cottage is the inscription: "Be it reraombered that on this island in June, 1213, King John of England signed tho jUngiio Oharta." '
