The Sultan of Turkey Ims been the '' Sick Man " of Europe ever since tlio (lay the C/ar Nicholas I prescrited blooding, and jiivited Great .'Britain to share tlio proceeds. China was taken ill by tlio common consent ot the civilised world srniie years later, ami partitioned into "spheres oi inllnenco"-a Policy which wits defined between the lines of every treaty as the preliminary step to complete absorption. Many years passed, awl then Japan suddenly i:oso Hp and gave the most convincing proof that the tendency to delicate health she had nice shown after the American doctor had felt her pulse (and qniokenad it greatly) had • been thoroughly shaken off. The story is so fresh of the lost proofs if Japanese health and strength that llio ink 0 n the record is still wet. While men are speculating on what it all means, the cable informs us that China has returned a most prompt and positive refusal to a German request, lor further privileges in the German " sphere </ influence." It is a marvellous departure. But scarcely have we begun to feel astonished than the news comes that the " Unspeakable Turk," who was supposed to haVo really readied ■the last gasp, lins peremptorily declared that ho will not have any more intcreferen'ce with his internal affairs, and has expelled tbo officers stationed within his borders to carry out the policy of foreign interference. At the same time Russia, through the mouth of tlio most prominent of the official organs, advises the world to respect the Anglo J Japanese alliance, contenting itself will), if possible, the " status <|tio " and freo coiumorco. Tlio same journal recommeiHls the Government of the Czar to arrange a " modus vivendi" with Great Britain in Central Asia. This completes tlio chapter of marvels going on before our eyes. Russia preaching the " open door" for the country (lit of which slw has been' hopelessly driven, preaching pence after disastrous defeats in war, preparing a policy of retreat for the future, while the two " Sick Men " actually are getting out of hod to stand itipon their own feet -these arc events which prove the decisive character of the great war just ended. The world is beginning- now to realise how that war has changed the current of 'history.—Times.

A Moslem grave in Turkey, when once it has been filled in, is never reopened on any account. With a view to remove the faintest cliancc of it being thus defiled, the Moslems plant a cypress tree 011 every grave immediately after the burial. For Children's Hacking Cough at night.
