Character is what a man really is. Ro putation is what he appears to be or is sup posed to be. Not every time do character and reputation coincide in. the same in- dividual. The Mon who do not care for chacter because they know they are dis- h neat will stop to anything in their power to protect their reputation. The time has come when character amounts te Anuch that reputation for honesty, be omes exceedingly valuablo, It may save a man from becoming publicly disgraced.

Valuable as a good character is in this world it is not sufficiently appre cinted. It should be rewarded by em- ployers, particularly when coupled with business capability. But there are em ployers unsrupulous enough, not to want th man who may, under certain circumstances, refuse to do their bidding in some crooked, transaction, and for that reason the honest man may sometimes go begging.

Never before in the world's history has there been such a need of men of honesty, and integrity to do the world's business.

Some little time since, it was our pri vilege to enter the class rooms of an Anglo-Chinese school, in the upper form of which we found eight or ten boys. We asked them individually their rea- sons for spending so much time in learning English and what they thought of the Chinese language. The auswer, as far as it dealt with the Chinese, was not flattering for those who extol it. The motives that were impelling then improvement of London traffic arrange. towards English were varied.

The question of Anglo- Chinese schools here in Hongkong is one of great importance and interest, and one that, more and more, must engage the attention of those whose duty it is to care for the future of the Colony. In regard to the improvement of the Anglo Chinese schools, three points are elaborated, and were they applied along the lines suggested, im provement would certainly result there- from.

THERAPION No. 1.

in a remarkably short time, diten a few days only, removes all discharges from the urinary organs, superseding injections, the use of which does irre- parable harm by laying the foundation of stricture and other serious diseases.

THERAPION No. 2.

for impurity of the blood, scurvy, pimples, spots, blotches, pains and swelling of the joints, secon- dary symptoms, gout, rheumatism, and all diseases for which it has been too much a fashion to em- ploy mercury, sarsaparilla, &c., to the destruction of sufferers' teeth and ruin of health. This pre- paration purifies the whole system through the blood, and thoroughly eliminates every poisonous matter from the body.
