MUCH IN DEMAND.

The "Lady of the Decoration," who, after the publication of hor wonderful little book, returned to her home in Kentucky, has been revisiting Japan, and is now hlnying at the Girls' School, where, she worked for so many years. She has recently been travelling through Korea, Manchuria, and China, and, in a letter writes:—"We had thrills enough to last some time. Tho revolution was in full swing, hihl I saw tho biiriiiiiar of Hie official part of Shanghai, and the taking of the arsenal. This last was fearfully exciting. Th» Imperialists had some '100 guards about the arsenal; a small band of rebels were near with the background of n motley mob. A Chinese in war paint, and a gun, walked up to a Mnnchu giant, who was standing with fixed bayonet at Ihe entrance of tho arsenal. 'We want this arsenal,' paid the rebel. 'Far be it from me to deny you any wish. Iff) yours,' granted the guard, and handed over the keys. Tn walked the rebels and Ihn mob; the Jlanchus joined them, and they sent off fifty dollars' worth of shooting'crackers." It is just six years since the "Lady of the Decoration" was first issued, and" in lOnglaml the ("British Weekly" says) the demand last Christmas was greater than nt any time during ils caierr.
