The United States Secretary of State, Mr W. J. Bryan, who has dispensed with wine at diplomatic dinners, has also been actively engaged in trying to avoid complications with Japan over the Californian Land Bill. Mr Bryan some time ago spent some time in Japan. A good story of his experience there is told in the Methodist Times. • He was invited by Admiral Togo to drink to his health in champagne.

I ho greatest ocean mystery was tha: of tlie Marie Celeste, a trading brig, which left Boston in February, 1876. with 19 persons on hoard, including the captain's wife arid little daughter. Some weeks later she was sighted off Gibraltar under full sail. A boat's crew boarded her, but found not a soul on board. Yet there was a halfconsumed meal on the cabin table, a child's garment on a sewing machine, and the captain's watch was still ticking by his berth.
