ditions were quite different-of Sir Jolm Bowring's brilliant survey of The Kingdom and People of Siam., Mr J. G. D. Campbell is now one of his Majesty's Inspectors of Schools, and was until recently Educational Adviser to the Siamese Government, He has quick eyes, the capacity for taking pains, and the power not merely of soizing salient facts, but also of draw. ing conclusions from them. He was sent in 1899, by the Foreign Office, at the request of the Siamese Government, to reorganise the education of the coun- try, and he spent two years over his arduous task. The outcome, so far as English readers are concerned, is a 2002 singularly vivid picture of a phase of civilisation which lies curiously remote from Western ideas. Although Siam is less than four days' sail from Singa- pore, it lies off the beaten track of the 4 steamships that link Europe with the Far East, and is in consequence still comparatively little known. It is a corner of the world where many quaint customs survive, and which possesses not a little to attract the wandering scholar, especially if he be a philologist or ethnologist. Apart from all this, Siam. is now the buffer State between the French and British dominions in the East:-France in the last decade has swallowed a great morsel of Siam---- n somewhat indigestible one, it is true; but she is only waiting for an oppor tune moment to spring upon her prey. France is in occupation of one of the principal ports, and refuses to evacuate it except on conditions that the Siamese find it almost impossible to grant.' Nothing is more remarkable in Siam than the Chinese invasion; already a

Since the water was curtailed on 1st inst., I know of whole blocks of Chinese and semi-European houses which have not had a drop of water from the service pipes. Many of the tonants of these houses are paying from 5 to 10 conta for two kerosene tins full of water, and if the Board expects these peo. ple to thoroughly cleanse their houses un. dor the circumstances, it is simply pre- posterous. The Government is at present obtaining money under false pretenses, in the shape of water rates for water which they do not supply. In any other country but this, there would have been serious trouble with the populace under similar treatment. The Chinaman has many faults, but I do not think that any other race would calmly put up with such outrageous misgovernment; at least, not without voic ing its grievances by mass meetings or

SLAVERY IN CHINA.
To the Editor of the *CHINA MAIL.'. Hongkong, November 2. SI-Can one believe that in this enlightened century slavery is still lurking | in our midst? Sad to say it is only too true. Therefore, to those who are interest ed in the Liberty and Freedom of the human race, I earnestly address this appeal. Cannot a Society be formed for the libera-

Many of the big clans and mandarin and wealthy litorati families of Kwang Tung and other provinces own numerous adult slaves (male and female). slaves intermarry and continue in bondage for generations unless liberated by their masters. Hence, one often finds amongst those families generation after generation of slaves still serving succeeding generations of masters.
