He certainly knows more about liter ature, however, and therein differs from one of his predecessors on the bench, Baron Martin. Mr. Adolphus LIddell, who acted as the baron's mar-, shal In 1872, states that he "had.. prodigious acquaintance with racing history and knew the winners of all the chief events for many years back. "In history, literature and art he seemed to take no Interest whatever and If ever he had any education In -these he had discarded It. Many stories were current Illustrative of this peculiar condition of his mind, such, as his remark that 'Shakespeare is'ab enormously overrated man.

It Is not very flattering but It Is cer tainly true that whatever respect Is shown a foreigner In the Orient Is tribute to his generosity or his heavy hand, until . he has .acquired such an Httlmate knowledge of the Chinese Ian guage and the Chinese mind that he l?no longer a foreigner. The coolie has much less respect for the "man from the ocean, than the mandarin has because he has less appreciation of foreign achievements and foreign culture.
