From horizon to horizon it stretch-| es like a broad white ribbon, as seemingly straight as if traced by a gigantic ruler. And dotted along 'its entire length are hundreds of serais (wayside rest-houses), each with its arched and turreted gateway, its spa- cious enclosure--in which humans share shelter with oxen, camels and goats--and its central well of spark- ling water. For 3,000 years the Himalayas have looked down on this road and have seen it as they see it to-day. It was the world's greatest highway be- fore Rome was cradled, when the aboriginal Indians drove their cattle over the very spot where the motor- car dashes to-day. Alexander the Great led his Greeks along it to the conquest of Northern India; and Buddha himself took his daily walks along it centuries be- fore Christ was cradled. | It has seen a hundred generations | of men come and go; 'a score of] dynasties rise and fall.

When he was entertained by the Governor of Madeira on his way to | South. Africa the late Mr. Chamber | lain made the interesting statement | that the oldest treaty in the English | archives was the first offensive and | defensive alliance between Great | Britain and Portugal. This may have been quite true, if an earlier! one entered into with the Flemings! in 1274 had gone astray or was for! commercial purposes only, for that | was the first English treaty with a| foreign country. | The Portuguese treaty was signed ! at Windsor on May 9th, 1386, largely | as a result of the assistance which John of Gaunt gave to Joha I. of | Portugal in repelling the Castilians. | F y rank | ed at, times to serve you with notes, stamps, ete. friends and customers.
